Bývalý vojenský policista Jack Reacher dál putuje křížem krážem Spojenými státy. V kapse má roličku bankovek, pas, platební kartu a zubní kartáček. Nikam nespěchá. A nikdy neuhýbá před problémy. A jeden velký ho potká na opuštěné silnici v Arizoně - v podobě džípu nabouraného do jediného stromu v širokém okolí. Ale všechno je jinak, než se na první pohled zdá. O několik minut později míří Reacher do nedalekého města, odlehlé díry u hranic s Mexikem, která má lepší časy už dávno za sebou. Vedle něj sedí Michaela Fentonová, válečná veteránka a později agentka FBI, jež se snaží najít svého bratra dvojče. Nejspíš se zapletl s nebezpečnými lidmi. A Reacher je nejspíš bude muset navštívit. Jejich šéf Dendoncker zanedbanému zapadákovu skrytě vládne. Najít ho je takřka nemožné. Dostat z něj odpovědi bude ještě těžší. A nepřátelští obyvatelé města by radši umřeli, než aby prozradili jakékoliv tajemství. Childův hrdina, bývalý vojenský policista Jack Reacher, se poprvé objevil v románu Killing Floor (č. Jatka, 1999), který měl okamžitě úspěch a autor za něj získal řadu ocenění. Streamovací platforma Amazon Prime Video podle něj letos uvádí osmidílnou minisérii nazvanou Reacher. Počínaje thrillerem Ochránce píše Child reacherovskou sérii spolu se svým bratrem Andrewem.

THE ENDURING MYTH THAT MAKES US HUMANWhat makes a hero? Who better to answer that question than Lee Child⠦⠘It⠙s Lee Child. Why would you not read it?⠙ Karin Slaughter⠘I don t know another author so skilled at making me turn the page⠙ The TimesIn his first work of nonfiction, the creator of the multimillion-selling Jack Reacher series explores the endurance of heroes from Achilles to Bond, showing us how this age-old myth is a fundamental part of what makes us human. He demonstrates how hero stories continue to shape our world ⠓ arguing that we need them now more than ever.From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling?Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential reading for anyone trying to write or understand fiction. Child teaches us how these stories still shape our minds and behaviour in an increasingly confusing modern world, and with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we get, we⠙ll always need heroes.

Audiokniha: Bude litovat, že se vrátil? Nebo toho bude litovat někdo jiný? Jack Reacher, bývalý vojenský policista vycvičený rychle myslet a ještě rychleji jednat, se vrací do hlavního stanu své staré jednotky. Chce se tu setkat s novým velícím důstojníkem, majorem Susan Turnerovou, kterou zná jenom po hlase. Tu ale v kanceláři hlavního vedení nenajde. Aby očistil své i její jméno, musí ji co nejdříve najít, zatímco mu je v patách armáda, FBI, washingtonská policie a čtyři brutální hrdlořezové. V roce 2016 vznikla podle tohoto příběhu filmová adaptace v režii Edwarda Zwicka s Tomem Cruisem a Cobie Smulders v hlavních rolích. „Nesází se prvotně na pneumatická kladiva Reacherových pěstí, ale i na jeho důmysl a vynalézavost, s jakými musí vybruslit ze zpropadené situace, do níž se dostal.“ - Roman Lipčík, iLiteratura.cz „Jack Reacher nenechá žádný zločin nepotrestán. Když se navíc takový zločin týká přímo jeho a jeho blízkých, dokáže být v honbě za zločinci ještě vytrvalejší a při jejich potrestání ještě nesmlouvavější.“ – klubknihomolu.cz Lee Child (*1956) Pod pseudonymem se skrývá britský spisovatel akčních thrillerů, vlastním jménem Jim Grant. Po studiu práv pracoval v komerční televizi, později nastoupil jako programový ředitel do manchesterské televize Granada. Když byl v rámci firemní restrukturalizace propuštěn, rozhodl se psát ve stylu amerických thrillerů. Jeho první román o Jacku Reacherovi Jatka získal cenu Anthony v kategorii Nejlepší debut. O Jackovi Reacherovi zatím vyšlo česky v nakladatelství BB art 20 knih. V roce 2012 byl jeho román Výstřel (9. v řadě) převeden na filmová plátna pod názvem Jack Reacher: Poslední výstřel s Tomem Cruisem v hlavní roli. Roku 2016 vznikla druhá adaptace podle dalšího dílu série s podtitulem Nevracej se. Vasil Fridrich (*1976) Absolvoval DAMU, ještě na škole se setkal s režisérem Dušanem Pařízkem, který ho obsadil do role Peachuma v Žebrácké opeře (pod jeho vedením hrál i později, v Divadle Komedie s ním pak spolupracoval na Večerech Analogonu). Během studia také účinkoval v divadelním spolku Kašpar a v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni. V roce 1995 se stal členem CD 94 v Divadle v Celetné. Po studiu získal angažmá ve Švandově divadle, v letech 2002–2005 působil ve Středočeském divadle Kladno.

Jack Reacher je ovšem zkušený vojenský policista, od dětství vychovávaný armádou, vycvičený k tomu, aby rychle myslel a ještě rychleji jednal. A svého bratra Joea nezabil. Aby našel skutečné vrahy všech pěti obětí, nezastaví se před ničím. Jak rozplétá zločinné spiknutí, rozpoutávají se vražedná jatka, ale Jack Reacher ví, že když něco začne, musí to dotáhnout do konce. Seznamte se s Jackem Reacherem! „Mix všeho, co má napínavý příběh mít – zvláštní záhada, krásná žena, drsní záporáci i pár správňáků. Nechybí ani humor – i v situacích, které jsou vážnější, mají postavy tendenci je zábavně a ironicky glosovat.“ – Vasil Fridrich „Vasilovi Fridrichovi se povedlo dobře uchopit příběh plný dynamiky, ve kterém probíhá neustálý boj s časem, protivníky, kolegy z vlastních i vedlejších řad, se základními lidskými potřebami a v neposlední řadě i s emocemi, které Reacher samozřejmě nemá a nesmí mít!“ – naposlech.cz „Výborný styl a pečlivě vystavěný příběh. Násilí je brutální… v takových detailech, které vzbuzují strach a napětí.“ – The New York Times „Jack Reacher nenechá žádný zločin nepotrestán. Když se navíc takový zločin týká přímo jeho a jeho blízkých, dokáže být v honbě za zločinci ještě vytrvalejší a při jejich potrestání ještě nesmlouvavější.“ – klubknihomolu.cz Copyrights: Audiokniha (P) © OneHotBook, 2018.

Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It s not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead. It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops—the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded—waits and watches . . . where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return. Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair—against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him—and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand. Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.

Podaří se mu odhalit všechny přetvářky a kšefty dřív, než začne jít do tuhého?Někdejší vyšetřovatel vojenské policie Jack Reacher se omylem přichomýtl k únosu mladíka z prominentní rodiny. V průběhu zběsilého zátahu vystřelí ránu, která se zavrtá do hrudníku přibíhajícího policisty, a tak se musí urychleně zdekovat. Vše ale nasvědčuje tomu, že měl přece jen štěstí v neštěstí. Sotva se mladíkův otec – obchodník s orientálními koberci a zároveň velmi vlivný muž – dozví, že mu Jack zachránil syna, přijme ho do svých služeb. Ve zbohatlíkově sídle se však brzy ukáže, že zboží, s nímž se tu obchoduje, není ve skutečnosti ani trochu nevinné. A situace povážlivě zhoustne, jen co vyjde najevo, že ani Reacherova přítomnost v bedlivě střeženém bossově domě není náhodná…Sedmý díl bestsellerové série s hrdinou ostřejším než břitva vás tentokrát zavede do krvelačného prostředí nelegálních obchodů.„Dovedná směsice sexu, násilí, sadismu, zbraní, špionů, pašeráctví, pomsty, klamu, napětí a neutuchající akce!“ – The Washington Post„Tahle knížka vás chytne a nepustí.

Audiokniha: Jestli Jack tuhle šňůru zmizení a nešťastných náhod nerozmotá, přijde řada na něj… Na kalifornskou poušť spadlo z nebe něco nečekaného – a nebyl to déšť ani meteorit, nýbrž chlápek s přelámanými hnáty, kterého kdosi vystrčil z helikoptéry. A o pár dní později přistane cosi neobvyklého i na účtu někdejšího důstojníka vojenské policie Jacka Reachera. Ve výši částky se skrývá volání o pomoc, zapsané tajným kódem. Reacher tedy urychleně vyhledá starou známou Frances Neagleyovou, která na něj naléhá, aby po letech svolali starou vyšetřovatelskou partu. Jeden z nich totiž navěky leží v kalifornském písku, a jestli se Frances neplete, i zbylá šestice vězí v pořádné bryndě. Pomoct jim může jedině Jack a jeho pěsti… V jedenáctém případu bude ke všemu odhodlaný Reacher potřebovat nejen zaťatost, ale hlavně pořádnou dávku štěstí. Protivníci jsou tentokrát výjimečně ostří hoši a neštítí se ničeho… „Volný pád jede v kolejích přímočaré logiky, díky níž je reacherovská série tak opojně návyková.“ – Janet Maslin, The New York Times. „Kniha funguje jako perfektní jednohubka plná Childových strohých výpadů na život a na smrt.

Now in a revised and updated 6th edition, the groundbreaking, research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently exhibit severe fits of temper and other challenging behaviors, from a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the field.What’s an explosive child? A child who responds to routine problems with extreme frustration—crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, destroying property, and worse. A child whose frequent, severe outbursts leave his or her parents feeling frustrated, scared, worried, and desperate for help. Most of these parents have tried everything-reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication—but to no avail. They can’t figure out why their child acts the way he or she does; they wonder why the strategies that work for other kids don’t work for theirs; and they don’t know what to do instead.Dr. Ross Greene, a distinguished clinician and pioneer in the treatment of kids with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, has worked with thousands of explosive children, and he has good news: these kids aren’t attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated, and their parents aren’t passive, permissive pushovers. Rather, explosive kids are lacking some crucial skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving, and they require a different approach to parenting. Throughout this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene provides a new conceptual framework for understanding their difficulties, based on research in the neurosciences. He explains why traditional parenting and treatment often don’t work with these children, and he describes what to do instead. Instead of relying on rewarding and punishing, Dr. Greene’s Collaborative Problem Solving model promotes working with explosive children to solve the problems that precipitate explosive episodes, and teaching these kids the skills they lack.

With a foreword by Lee Child.Andy Martin spent a year in the company of Lee Child, creator of tough-guy hero Jack Reacher. With Child is the diary of their adventures, tracking the publication and reception of Make Me, the writing of Night School at an apartment in Manhattan, the filming of Never Go Back in New Orleans, all the agony and ecstasy of the creative process and the sheer hard work of selling a bestseller. They go on the road together, from TV studios to bookstores, from Harvard to Stockholm, amid literary conferences and gunshows, rivalries and reviews ranging from adulatory to murderous. We meet fellow writers like Stephen King and David Lagercrantz and Karin Slaughter, and dissect the latest novel from Jonathan Franzen.           But Martin also reaches out to Child⠙s legion of readers in America and around the world. He tracks down a woman in Texas whose name appears in the home invasion scene in Make Me; he goes up a mountain in Montana in search of the only reader who thinks Reacher is a ⠜lightweight⠝; and he talks to obsessive fans from Europe to South Africa who find salvation or consolation in the colossal form of Jack Reacher. This compelling account of life on the road with Lee Child demonstrates that readers are just as important as writers in the making of modern fiction.
