We Are Hunted by Tomi Oyemakinde is a compulsive speculative thriller about the lengths we go to for power – and to survive. When seventeen-year-old Femi and his brother accompany their father on a top-secret business trip to a remote and mysterious island, they are looking forward to a summer they'll never forget. Filled with spectacular species of animals and out-of-this-world technology, the island resort welcomes them with open arms, as does its impressive curator Richard Jenkins.But beneath the sparkle and the wonder, the island is hiding a terrible secret – and it's biding its time. When the unthinkable happens and the island is put into lockdown, Femi realizes he is somehow at the centre of an operation that seeks to expose Jenkins' resort for what it really is. But the truth comes with a price.And when the bodies start to fall, Femi must decide who on the island he can trust with his life – and how far he will go to survive. A horror-thriller as creepy as Annihilation with the corruption-of-the-rich themes of The White Lotus. Perfect for fans of Kathryn Foxfield and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight.

Vědecký thriller o zhoubném bujení překvapuje čtenáře na celém světě svým strhujícím tempem a hluboce lidským vyzněním. Jeho autor Siddharta Mukherjee, lékař, vědec a oceňovaný spisovatel, se na nádorové onemocnění dívá s precizností buněčného biologa, s nadhledem historika a se zaujetím životopisce. Výsledkem je úžasně poutavá kronika nemoci, s níž lidé žijí a umírají více než pět tisíc let. Příběh rakoviny začíná prvními doloženými zmínkami ve starověku, graduje epochální bitvou ve dvacátém století, kdy se lidé snažili nemoc vyléčit, ovládnout a porazit, a zatím končí radikálně novým pochopením její podstaty. Skutečnými hrdiny této biografie jsou však lidé svádějící neuvěřitelně těžký zápas o život - od perské královny Atossy, jíž řecký otrok vyřízl maligní nádor z prsu, přes první pokusy s jednoduchou radiací a chemoterapií v devatenáctém století až po Mukherjeeho vlastní pacientku Carlu. Příběh rakoviny je totiž příběhem lidské vynalézavosti, houževnatosti a vytrvalosti, ale také arogance, povýšenosti a nepochopení. Mukherjee líčí staletí objevů, omylů, vítězství a úmrtí, promlouvá ústy svých předchůdců i současníků, kteří zasvětili všechen důvtip souboji s nekonečně vynalézavým protivníkem. S protivníkem, o němž se ještě před třemi desítkami let domnívali, že ho jednou provždy porazí. Vládkyně všech nemocí nabízí také fascinující pohled do budoucnosti léčby rakoviny. Je to velmi poučná kniha, která přináší naději a světlo těm, kdo chtějí této nemoci porozumět. Siddhartha Mukherjee byl za své dílo oceněn Pulitzerovou cenou (2011) a cenou deníku Guardian. Časopis TIME knihu zařadil mezi 100 nejvlivnějších anglických knih od roku 1923 a New York Times Magazine mezi 100 nejlepších odborných knih všech dob.

Winner of the Guardian First Book Award 2011Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Non-fiction 2011Shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize 2011Shortlisted for the Wellcome Trust Book PrizeIn The Emperor of All Maladies, Siddhartha Mukherjee, doctor, researcher and award-winning science writer, examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with – and perished from – for more than five thousand years.The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience and perseverance, but also of hubris, arrogance and misperception, all leveraged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out ‘war against cancer’. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories and deaths, told through the eyes of predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary.From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave cut off her malignant breast, to the nineteeth-century recipient of primitive radiation and chemotherapy and Mukherjee’s own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through toxic, bruising, and draining regimes to survive and to increase the store of human knowledge.Riveting and magesterial, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments and a brilliant new perspective on the way doctors, scientists, philosophers and lay people have observed and understood the human body for millennia.

In London, two children with such powers are hunted by a figure of darkness - a man made of smoke.
