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.

EVEN ON AN ISLAND PARADISE, DANGER STILL LURKS Called in to examine what is left of a body struck by lightning, Tempe traces an unusual tattoo to its source and is soon embroiled in a much larger case. Young men – tourists – have been disappearing on the islands of Turks and Caicos for years. Seven years ago, the first victim was found with both hands cut off; the other visitors vanished without a trace. But recently, tantalizing leads have emerged and only Tempe can unravel them. Maddeningly, the victims seem to have nothing in common – other than the unusual locations where their bodies are eventually found, and the fact that the young men all seem to be the least likely to be involved in foul play. Do these attacks have something to do with the islands’ seething culture of gang violence? Tempe isn’t so sure. And then she turns up disturbing clues that what’s at stake may actually have global significance.It isn’t long before the sound of a ticking clock grows menacingly loud, and then Tempe herself becomes a target . . .

The mostly true tale of Stan Lee, the one and only Godfather of Comics. From his childhood in Depression-era New York, to transforming Marvel into the number one comics publisher in the world, to his 21st-century reinvention as Chief Creative Officer of global entertainment company POW! Entertainment, Stan ?the Man? Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comicbook history. Stanley Lieber began working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later.But it wasn?t until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the ?Marvel Age of Comics.? With a legendary stable of art partners including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko, Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comicbook creations?the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the groundwork for the ?Marvel movie.? Stan?s constant cameo presence in these billion-dollar worldwide events was a testament to his influence. As the man behind POW! Entertainment, he became a master of all media?working with rock stars and professional sports leagues, movie mavens and reality TV shows?reinforcing his creative stature the world over.First published as a signed Collector?s Edition and sold out within a week, the book was written and edited with Lee himself. His tale is told by his successor at Marvel, renowned comics writer, editor, and historian Roy Thomas, who brings ?you are there? insights and wide-eyed clarity to key moments of Lee?s journey to pop culture immortality. Featuring hundreds of treasures of comicbook art, intimate photographs sourced straight from his family archives, a foreword written by Lee himself, a novel-length essay and new epilogue by Thomas, and an appendix with complete reprints of Stan?s comics from throughout the decades, this is a titanic tribute worthy of the Man.All Marvel characters are ?

On 9 January 2019, Lee Spencer, a disabled former Royal Marine, set out in a tiny rowing boat called Hope from the Southern Portuguese town of Portimao. He was hoping to become the fourth person in history to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, as well the first disabled person to complete the row and the fastest. After sixty days, sixteen hours and six minutes at sea, Lee rowed into the Mahury River estuary in Cayenne, South America, shattering the able-bodied record by an astonishing thirty-six days and became the world’s only physically disabled person, to break and hold an able-bodied record in an endurance event. Lee dreamed of one day being strong enough to face his father. He dreamed of becoming a Royal Marine. In 1992 he achieved his goal. Having served in the second Iraq War, Lee then volunteered for Special Duties and was one of only three out of 126 who eventually passed the course. He then completed three tours of Afghanistan as an agent handler. Then on a dark wintery night, Lee stopped to help at the scene of a motorway crash. Struck by debris when another car hit the scene, Lee came within a whisker of bleeding to death. He instructed a passer-by to stand on his groin when a makeshift torniquet wouldn’t work. Surgeons, though, could not save his leg. Unperturbed by becoming disabled, he learned to walk again, would row across the Atlantic with the world’s first physically disabled crew of four – with just three legs between them – to row any ocean and to embark on his epic solo journey. In The Rowing Marine Lee takes us on his epic solo voyage, as he relates his unparalleled life story, bringing the threads of his many experiences together.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Andrew Klavan explores how artists'' imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world."Andrew Klavan''s book illuminates even as it explores the deepest darkness, finding truth and beauty in art born of unflinching confrontations with evil."--Daniel McCarthy, editor-in-chief, Modern AgeIn his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history--including the first murder, Cain''s killing of his brother, Abel--and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.To make beauty out of the world as it is--shot through with evil and injustice and suffering--is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God''s ability to redeem it all.

Audiokniha: Za třicet let ani jedna vražda, a teď najednou pět. To není náhoda… V ospalém městečku Margrave kdesi v Georgii je za vraždu zatčen tulák bez dokladů, bez adresy, bez historie. 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.

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.
