A slave trader is the focus of the second part of the book's plot, and the three hunters and their guide spend weeks pursuing him to stop him and his crew from occupying and enslaving Mbango's people. They are too late; Makarooroo's fiance is one of those who have been taken. The three plan the fortifications and successfully repel the trader when he attacks Jambai's settlement.

eBook: Kamenické řemeslo má za sebou velice dlouhý vývoj, jeho počátky sahají až do antiky. Řemeslné znalosti předávané ústním podáním byly časem zčásti zapomenuty. Snaha oživit toto pozapomenuté řemeslo vedla na přelomu 19. a 20. století profesora R. Jundrovského k sepsání takřka encyklopedicky pojaté příručky Kamenictví. Nahlédněte pod ruce starých mistrů kamenického řemesla. V učebnici napsané na konci 19. století najdete postupy prací, používané v době jejího vzniku.

Nova - Samuel R. Delany - e-kniha

eBook: Píše se 32. století. Lidstvo dávno žije na stovkách světů celé galaxie. Každý člověk má už od dětství implantované zásuvky, jimiž se může napojit do jakéhokoli stroje a ovládat ho přímo, svým mozkem a nervy. Jen jedno se nezměnilo: lidská povaha. Pořád se soupeří o peníze a moc. A nejcennějším zdrojem tohoto vesmíru je záhadný illyrion, látka, která umožňuje mezihvězdné cesty i terraformaci planet... Kapitán Lorq Von Ray, potomek nejmocnější rodiny jedné ze dvou hlavních říší tohoto světa, se vydává se svou barvitou posádkou plnou podivínů pro nesmírné množství této látky, která může změnit vesmírnou rovnováhu sil. Jenomže to není jediný jeho motiv; kapitán totiž má na této cestě krutého a bezohledného soupeře a illyrion je pro něj dost možná jen prostředek, jak si s ním vyřídit osobní účty…

Nespasitelní - Michael R. Fletcher - e-kniha

eBook: Bedeckt má akorát svoji sekeru, pár mincí pro případ, že by skončil v Posmrtí, a dva kumpány, ke kterým by se neotočil zády nikdo, natož on sám. Oba jeho společníci jsou totiž Geisteskranken – šílenci, kteří svým bludům věří natolik, že se stávají skutečností. Takových je svět plný a Bedeckt vražednou zlodějku i rádoby nejlepšího šermíře na světě toleruje jen proto, že jsou užiteční a ochotní jít přes mrtvoly, aby uskutečnili jeho plán na to, jak si zajistit bohatství až do smrti. Bludy a víra totiž znamenají moc, obzvlášť když jedné věci věří hodně lidí. To ví i velekněz Konig Furimmer, který vede své ovečky k jedinému cíli: uctívání obyčejného chlapce Morgena natolik, aby se z něj stal bůh. Bůh, kterého bude Konig moci ovládat… pokud ovšem božského chlapce neunesou Konigovi před nosem Bedeckt a jeho společníci s vidinou tučného výkupného, aniž by tušili, že si tentokrát ukousli příliš velké sousto. Víra totiž utváří realitu. A bohové z ní zrození mají s každou chorou myslí vlastní plány!
