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.

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.

From the dawn of life itself, every being that has ever lived owes its existence to the cell.The discovery of this vital form led to a transformation in medicine but also in our understanding of ourselves - not as bodies or machines but as ecosystems. It has also given us the power to treat a vast array of mortal maladies...and even to create new kinds of human altogether.Rich with stories of scientists, doctors and the patients whose lives may be saved by their work, The Song of the Cell is a stunning ode to the building blocks of life and the cutting-edge science harnessing their power for the better.

The Song of the Cell is the vivid, thrilling and suspenseful story of the fundamental unit of life. It describes how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Both panoramic and intimate, it is Siddhartha Mukherjee's most spectacular book yet.In the late 1600s, a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, look down their hand-made microscopes.What they see introduces a radical concept that alters both biology and medicine forever. It is the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves, are built from these compartments.Hooke christens them 'cells'.The discovery of cells announced the birth of a new kind of medicine. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer's, AIDS, lung cancer - all could be re-conceived as the results of cells, or a cellular ecosystem, functioning abnormally. And all could be treated by therapeutic manipulations of cells.This revolution in cell biology is still in progress: it represents one of the most significant advances in science and medicine.Rich with stories of scientists, doctors, and the patients whose lives may be saved by their work, The Song of the Cell is the third book in this extraordinary writer's exploration of what it means to be human.

The sixth in the Millennium series featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO "What will you do now?" "I shall be the hunter and not the hunted" The girl with the dragon tattoo is finally ready to confront her nemesis, the only woman who is evidently and in many ways her match. Salander will not wait to be hunted. When she strikes it will be a double blow: vengeance for recent atrocities, and the settling of lifelong scores. For months now Salander has been closing in on her target. She has moved from Stockholm, her hair is newly styled, her piercings are gone. She could pass for any other businesswoman. But not all businesswomen have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their jacket. They do not wield the lethal power of a hacker's genius. They do not carry scars and tattoos to remind them that they have survived the unsurvivable. The new episode in David Lagercrantz's acclaimed, internationally bestselling continuation of Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russian troll factories. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvist's number at Millennium magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips. Blomkvist, at extreme risk to himself, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can. But he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own. And for Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always political - and deadly.

Salander will not wait to be hunted. When she strikes it will be a double blow: vengeance for recent atrocities, and the settling of lifelong scores. For months now Salander has been closing in on her target. She has moved from Stockholm, her hair is newly styled, her piercings are gone. She could pass for any other businesswoman. But not all businesswomen have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their jacket. They do not wield the lethal power of a hacker's genius. They do not carry scars and tattoos to remind them that they have survived the unsurvivable. The new episode in David Lagercrantz's acclaimed, internationally bestselling continuation of Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russian troll factories. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvist's number at Millennium magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips. Blomkvist, at extreme risk to himself, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can. But he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own. And for Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always political - and deadly.
