U požaru u kojem je izgorio stan Jess Moulson stradao je i desetogodišnji dječak koji je živio na katu iznad nje. Jess se budi u bolnici, sa strahovitim ozljedama i ožiljcima i izgubljenih sjećanja na tu večer koja joj je protekla u heroinskoj magli.

Osuđena je na Fellside, najveći, najstrašniji ženski zatvor u cijeloj Europi, koji se nadvija nad sumornim jorkširskim pustopoljinama. Fellside je mjesto gdje čak i zidovi šapću. Međutim, Jess u zatvorskoj ćeliji neće biti sama. Iz tamnih i hladnih zidova ćelije proviruje neočekivan posjetitelj - duh desetogodišnjeg dječaka koji nosi poruku za Jess. On treba njezinu pomoć - i neće odustati dok je ne dobije. Hoće li ga ona poslušati?

Iskupljenje u Fellsideu

Schovejte si svá tajemství tam, kde je příšery nenajdou. Desetiletá Melanie žije spolu s dalšími dětmi na vojenské základně, kde se pod přísným dohledem vzdělává. Nadprůměrně inteligentní dívka miluje staré řecké báje a její spřízněnou duší je učitelka, slečna Justineauová. Zato seržanta Parkse, který děti hlídá jako dráb, Melanie nesnáší. Stejně jako doktorku Caldwellovou. Ale bez nich to nejspíš nejde, když je základna obklopená zpustošenou krajinou, v níž stejně jako ve zbytku země vládnou hladovci — kanibalská monstra, která při honu za lidským masem nic nezastaví. Když je základna napadena, podaří se Melanii, slečně Justineauové, seržantu Parksovi, doktorce Caldwellové a vojínu Gallagherovi utéct. Společně se vydávají na cestu do Majáku, posledního místa v Británii, které se podařilo od nákazy uchránit. Jenže budou Melanii v Majáku chtít, když ji v blízkosti lidí popadá zoufalý hlad, jaký ještě nezažila? ----- Propracované postavy, skvěle zakomponované vědecké poznatky, spousta krve a nádherně vykreslený vztah mezi dospělou ženou a dítětem dělají z tohoto románu jedinečnou záležitost. - Daily Mail Ne každému spisovateli se podaří donutit vás k tomu, abyste měli rádi geniální desetileté nemrtvé dítě. - The Guardian V tomto chytrém (i když brutálním) románu budete Melanii držet palce, přestože předznamenává zánik lidstva. A sakra. - Star Magazine Review

Z posledního lidského sídla v jižní Anglii vyráží na cestu do Skotska napůl vědecká a napůl vojenská výprava.

Chlapec na mostě

Em O menino na ponte, M. R. Carey retoma o fascinante universo de A menina que tinha dons para investigar o desespero humano à beira de um mundo devastado. Aos 15 anos, Stephen Greaves é um gênio científico precoce, cujo trabalho pode dar à humanidade sua melhor arma contra uma praga devastadora que assola o mundo. Ele e a epidemiologista Samrina Khan são dois dos dez tripulantes do Rosalind Franklin, um laboratório blindado sobre rodas liderado por um comandante prepotente e autoritário, que cruza uma terra devastada em busca da cura para esse vírus que alterou para sempre a vida como conhecemos. A viagem é longa, e a restrição do espaço físico para toda a tripulação faz com que a tensão do confinamento seja também uma ameaça considerável. O veículo torna-se um caldeirão de diferentes agendas, crenças e visões de mundo prestes a explodir. Em meio a esse ambiente hostil, Stephen tem em Samrina uma figura maternal que o protege dos demais cientistas, que o tratam com cautela, desprezo ou verdadeiro ódio. Mas o menino não se importa com confrontos físicos, mentiras e incertezas; encara todos os seus desafios com interesse, astúcia e muita habilidade. Todos carregam aspirações e sonhos, mas sabem que, se tudo der errado, sua perda poderá ser suportada. Eles sabem muito bem que são dispensáveis. Estranho, surpreendente e assustador, O menino na ponte é uma história emocionante e poderosa que fará você questionar o que significa ser humano em um mundo onde a esperança pode ser o maior dos desafios.
