"Jen na nás čtyřech, aby si tu cestu vyvolil správně." Timothy Hunter jako spousta jiných třináctiletých kluků bezcílně kouká na televizi a jezdí na skateboardu. Jenže Timothy Hunter se také vymyká prakticky všem lidem na Zemi a záhy již zjistí proč. Stručně řečeno: může za to magie. Tim v magii samozřejmě nevěří, ale ukáže se, že magie rozhodně věří v něj - přinejmenším dost na to, aby někteří její adepti aktivně plánovali jeho předčasnou smrt. Naštěstí pro Tima má v nadpřirozených říších rovněž spojence. Čtyři z těch nejskvělejších a nejzáhadnějších mágů přísahali, že hocha ochrání a poučí a každý z nich si přichystal cestu, na níž mu předvede nebezpečí a odměny magického života.

„My všichni máme svoje malé spouště… věci, které na nás čekají v temných chodbách našich životů,“ píše Neil Gaiman v úvodu Předběžného varování, pozoruhodného kompendia pětadvaceti povídek a básní, ve kterých zkoumá transformativní moc imaginace. V povídce "Dobrodružný příběh" – jistým způsobem spřízněné s knihou Oceán na konci uličky – se Gaiman zamýšlí nad smrtí a jak si lidé berou svoje příběhy s sebou, když umírají. „Kalendář příběhů“ je sestaven z minipovídek o měsících v roce – příběh pirátky a březnových větrů, iglú postaveného z knih a pohlednice ke Dni matek, která způsobí poruchu ve vesmíru. V povídce „Případ smrti a medu“ nabízí Gaiman možnost podívat se na legendárního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese trochu jinak. Ve sbírce najdete také „Bezčasí“, velice zvláštní příběh napsáný v roce 2013 pro oblíbený seriál Pán času, stejně jako dosud nepublikovaný příběh ze světa Amerických bohů „Černý pes“ o tom, co se stalo, když se Stín cestou zpátky do Ameriky zastavil v jedné vesnické hospodě. Gaiman, kreativní spisovatel s nenapodobitelným tvůrčím géniem, nás pomocí své literární alchymie přenáší hluboko do neprobádané země, kde se fantastické stává skutečným a každodenní jasně žhne. Předběžné varování, plné divů a hrůz, překvapení a pobavení, je pokladnice literárních požitků, které zaměstnají mysl, sevřou u srdce a zatřesou s duší.

Audiokniha: Krutý sever zabydleli drsní bohové, kteří neváhali stvořit svět z mrtvého obra – z jeho masa se stala hlína, z kostí vznikly hory, krev a pot se proměnily v moře. Patří mezi ně mocný Ódin se svými dvěma havrany, přímý a dobromyslný hromovládce Tór, lstivý Loki a mnoho dalších, kteří obývají světy stromu Yggdrasil a očekávají neúprosně se blížící ragnarök, tedy soudný den. „To je radost z mýtů. Zábava nastává, když je vyprávíte sami – což je něco, co vám vřele doporučuji. A pak jednoho temného, mrazivého zimního večera nebo o letní noci, kdy slunce ne a ne zapadnout, vyprávějte svým přátelům, co se stalo, když Tórovi ukradli kladivo, nebo jak Ódin získal pro bohy básnickou medovinu…“ – Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman Vystudovaného novináře proslavily scénáře k dnes už kultovnímu komiksu Sandman, který vycházel od roku 1989 a na kterém spolupracoval s řadou výtvarníků, protože každý příběh série má svůj osobitý styl. Je rovněž autorem mnoha románů a povídek a také scénářů – například k televizním seriálům Nikdykde (1996), na základě kterého pak vyšla i stejnojmenná kniha, a Pán času (Doctor Who). Jeho pohádky Hvězdný prach (1999) a Koralína (2002) byly zfilmovány, první jmenovaný s předními hollywoodskými hvězdami v hlavních rolích, druhý získal animovanou podobu. Na základě románu Američtí bohové (2001) o střetu starých a novodobých bohů byl v roce 2017 natočen úspěšný televizní seriál. V roce 1997 vznikl ze spolupráce s Terrym Pratchettem humoristický román o Armageddonu Dobrá znamení, podle něhož v současné době vzniká televizní minisérie s Michaelem Sheenem a Davidem Tennantem v hlavních rolích. Pavel Soukup Vystudoval žurnalistiku na Univerzitě Karlově a poté úspěšně absolvoval DAMU. Po studiu působil v oblastních divadlech, později se vrátil do Prahy, kde hrál v Městských divadlech pražských, především v Divadle ABC, a stal se členem souboru Hudebního divadla v Karlíně. Dobře známý je z televizních obrazovek – od roku 1980 se objevuje v televizních pohádkách, komediích a také v seriálech (např. Náhrdelník, Život na zámku, Ordinace v růžové zahradě). Daleko známější je ovšem jeho hlas – jednak díky mnoha dokumentům, k nimž namluvil komentář, a jednak jako dabér Arnolda Schwarzeneggera, Robina Williamse, Gérarda Depardieua, Michaela Douglase, Harrisona Forda, Bruce Willise nebo Roberta Redforda. Svůj hlas propůjčil i kresleným postavičkám z filmů Toy Story: Příběh hraček, 101 dalmatinů či Spláchnutej. Za mistrovství v dabingu byl několikrát oceněn.
