2. Dirty Rich One Night Stand - Lisa Renee Jones
|
|||
|
DIRTY, RICH ONE NIGHT STAND. That's all it was supposed to be. Her. Him. Pleasure. And then a fast goodbye. He's a stranger. And yet, he's not. She knows him even though he doesn't know her. He's the powerful attorney, now world-renowned after coming off the trial of a century which was publicized across the country. And I'm one of the reporters that sat in his courtroom. I watched him, studied him, got to know him from afar which isn't hard since I know his exact brand of confidence, arrogance, and wealth. I know his type. I've dated his type. Which is why when I happen to come face to face with him, when sparks fly and heat simmers between us, I know what happens if I say "yes" to Reese Summer. I know he'll taste like sin and sex, even before he kisses me. I know he'll feel like pleasure and passion, even before he touches me. I know he'll demand more than I wants to give, and yet, because I dare to give myself to him, the result will be deliciously hot. I know that I will not leave his bed without being utterly, completely sated. And I know that I will leave the next morning anyway. And so, I do. And so, he follows. And as the chase begins my question becomes: Is Reese Summer THE one or is he really just a dirty, arrogant lie that should have stayed a one night stand?

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes baby in a baby carriage. Just not necessarily in that order. . . .   Braxton: I should probably be dead or in jail right now. Instead, thanks to some tough love, I worked my ass off and now I own a string of tattoo parlors throughout the Pacific Northwest. And yet the one thing I’ve always wanted—a family—still seems out of reach. When my best friend gets married, I’m just hoping to blow off some steam with the super-hot maid of honor. But after Cara Thompson tracks me down to tell me she’s pregnant, she’s more surprised than I am when I tell her I’m all in.   Cara: For the first time in my life, I’m living for myself—not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what’s the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to “be there for me.” Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient.

8. Bright Familiar - Jeffe Kennedy

“Dark Wizard is one of my top reads ever.” ~ NY Times Bestselling Author Darynda Jones “Dark Wizard will be on my keeper shelf for freaking ever.” ~ NY Times Bestselling Author Dana Marton “Jeffe nailed what it is to write a fantasy romance. Fabulous!” ~ USAT Bestselling Author of Radiance, Grace Draven "...utterly compelling...clicked Buy right at the end of the sample and just kept reading and reading because this book is so good, with such a rich world and characters. I'm so glad I picked it up...now can it be June already so I can read more?" ~Amazon reviewer *** The epic story of Nic and Gabriel continues… *** He wanted her with consuming passion... and so did the monster within. Lady Veronica Elal has been freed from her tower—and entered a life of servitude. It doesn’t matter that her wizard master has odd ideas about circumventing Convocation tradition and making their relationship equal. Nic prides herself on her practicality and that means not pretending her marriage is full of hearts and flowers. Besides she understands that, despite her new husband’s idealism, they face obstacles so great the pair of them could be crushed to nothing, even without dashing themselves brainless trying to fight the Convocation. Lord Gabriel Phel has come this far against impossible odds. He was born with powerful wizard magic, the first in his family in generations. He’s managed to begin the process of reinstating his fallen house. And—having staked his family’s meager fortune to win a familiar to amplify his magic, a highborn daughter to be mother to his children, his lady, and lover—he rescued Nic in a distant land, successfully bringing her home to House Phel. Though she’s cynical about their chances of success, he’s certain they can defy their enemies and flourish. Together. But, the more Gabriel discovers about working with the fiery Nic, attempting to learn the finer points of wizardry and marriage, the more illicit fantasies plague him. His need for Nic—and the dark cravings she stirs in his black wizard’s heart—grow daily. Though Nic has reconciled herself to being possessed by Gabriel—and indeed yearns for even more from her brooding and reluctant master—creating a new life for herself isn’t easy. Especially when Gabriel seems determined to subvert the foundation of her world. Starting with her father. |

13. Diamantmysteriet - Martin Widmark
|
|||
|
Någon stjäl diamanter av guldhandlare Muhammed Karat. Det mesta pekar på att det är nån ur personalen som är den skyldiga. Är det den torrt fnysande guldsmeden Ture Modig, som egentligen skulle ägt hela butiken? Eller möjligen Lollo Smith, den nyanställde frisksportaren med smak för livets goda? För det kan väl inte vara Siv Leander, trogen medarbetare, nu i penningknipa? Polisen i den lilla staden Valleby har kört fast. Därför kontaktas de unga detektiverna Lasse och Maja. De är klasskompisar och driver en liten detektivbyrå ihop. Vi människor är mycket olika varandra och i deckarnas värld är varje individuell egenhet guld värd. Den kan ju vara ett motiv, eller rent av en ledtråd som hjälper oss närmare lösningen på fallet. Lasse och Maja möter ett mustigt persongalleri i denna pusseldeckare för barn. De fogar bit till bit för att i slutändan kunna se helheten. På samma sätt gör läsaren. Deckare är dessutom märkligt lättlästa och passar därför nybörjarläsarna utmärkt. Martin Widmark debuterade 2000 med Att fånga en tiger, illustrerad av Joakim Lindengren. Nu har han skrivit spännande, roliga och intelligenta deckare för barn. Ungefär som Vi fem-böckerna, fast mer lättlästa och för lite yngre läsare. Diamantmysteriet och Hotellmysteriet är de två första fristående delarna i en planerad serie pusseldeckare som alla utspelar sig i och omkring den lilla staden Valleby. Efterhand blir vi som läsare väl bekanta med både staden och dess invånare. Och vi får mycket god hjälp av illustratören Helena Willis, som fångar både miljö och människor med alla sina uttrycksfulla bilder i dessa rikt illustrerade kapitelböcker. |

In the sink or swim world of planners, strategists and their clients, now more than ever, there is a need for a practical handbook to guide us through all the main parts of the process. And thanks to Les Binet and Sarah Carter at Adam&eveDDB we now have just that. The original inspiration for the book was a set of articles that they wrote for Admap over 6 years. In these they set out to bust a lot of myths and nonsense that swirl around marketing and communications by using evidence-based approaches and interesting examples to make their points. We’ve been working with them to turn this treasure chest of wisdom into a practical guide. We’ve called it How Not To Plan in reference to its myth busting antecedents and in homage to an old but much loved set of essays published back in 1979 in an APG book called ’How to Plan Advertising’. The How Not to Plan of 2018 is a manageably sized handbook which leaves room for your scribbles and notes and can be read as a guide or used as a constant helpful reference point. It’s loosely based on the Planning Cycle and is grouped into themes that are important at different stages in the process, covering everything from how to set objectives, the 4 Ps, research and analysis, to briefing, creative work and media and effectiveness At the end of each chapter you’ll find a simple 2-minute check list for how to do it better, a short case study showing how it’s done brilliantly, a space for your notes and further reading for the intellectually gifted… |

29. Permanent Record - Edward Snowden
|
|||
|
The Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down. In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it. Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online – a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic. |
30. Vankina Venäjällä - Ilkka Karisto & Jan Salo
|
|||
|
Henkeäsalpaava sukellus Venäjän pahamaineiseen vankilamaailmaan. Suomalaisen huumekuriirin pahin painajainen toteutui itärajalla, kun hänet kiinnioton päätteeksi passitettiin Suomen sijasta Venäjälle kärsimään tuomiotaan. Kaiken piti sujua huolellisesti laaditun suunnitelman mukaan. Svetogorskissa suomalaisen huumekuriirin Jan Salon eteen kuitenkin ilmestyi kuin tyhjästä kaksi Venäjän turvallisuuspalvelun FSB:n virkailijaa, jotka pidättivät hänet siltä seisomalta. Vielä suurempi šokki Salolle koitti, kun kävi ilmi, ettei hän pääsisikään normaalin käytännön mukaan Suomeen kärsimään tuomiotaan vaan joutuisi lusimaan vuosikausia tiukan kurin vankileirillä keskellä Komin tasavallan erämaata. Ilkka Kariston Vankina Venäjällä on hyytävä tositarina Jan Salon armottomasta taipaleesta venäläisen vankilamaailman säälimättömissä syövereissä, joissa toiset vangit ovat pieni päänvaiva täysin epäinhimillisiin olosuhteisiin ja häikäilemättömään henkilökuntaan verrattuna. Ilkka Karisto on pitkän linjan toimittaja, joka on työskennellyt Imagessa ja Helsingin Sanomien Kuukausiliitteessä sekä päätoimittanut Noste -lehteä. Tätä nykyä Karisto on Long Playn toimitussihteeri. |
31. Assassin's Fate - Robin Hobb
|
|||
|
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The stunning conclusion to Robin Hobb’s Fitz and the Fool trilogy, which began with Fool’s Assassin and Fool’s Quest “Every new Robin Hobb novel is a cause for celebration. Along with millions of her other fans, I delight in every visit to the Six Duchies, the Rain Wilds, and the Out Islands, and can’t wait to see where she’ll take me next.”—George R. R. Martin  More than twenty years ago, the first epic fantasy novel featuring FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Now New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb brings to a momentous close the third trilogy featuring these beloved characters in a novel of unsurpassed artistry that is sure to endure as one of the great masterworks of the genre. Fitz’s young daughter, Bee, has been kidnapped by the Servants, a secret society whose members not only dream of possible futures but use their prophecies to add to their wealth and influence. Bee plays a crucial part in these dreams—but just what part remains uncertain. As Bee is dragged by her sadistic captors across half the world, Fitz and the Fool, believing her dead, embark on a mission of revenge that will take them to the distant island where the Servants reside—a place the Fool once called home and later called prison. It was a hell the Fool escaped, maimed and blinded, swearing never to return. For all his injuries, however, the Fool is not as helpless as he seems. He is a dreamer too, able to shape the future. And though Fitz is no longer the peerless assassin of his youth, he remains a man to be reckoned with—deadly with blades and poison, and adept in Farseer magic. And their goal is simple: to make sure not a single Servant survives their scourge. |
32. Hell's Angels - Hunter S. Thompson
|
|||
|
Gonzo journalist and literary roustabout Hunter S. Thompson flies with the angels—Hell’s Angels, that is—in this short work of nonfiction.   “California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again.”   Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson’s vivid account of his experiences with California’s most notorious motorcycle gang, the Hell’s Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the controversial Angels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye; as The New Yorker pointed out, “For all its uninhibited and sardonic humor, Thompson’s book is a thoughtful piece of work.” As illuminating now as when originally published in 1967, Hell’s Angels is a gripping portrait, and the best account we have of the truth behind an American legend. |

49. The Space Between Worlds - Micaiah Johnson
|
|||
|
The Sunday Times bestseller. Winner of the Kitschies Golden Tentacle award. A stunning science fiction debut, The Space Between Worlds is both a cross-dimensional adventure and a powerful examination of identity, privilege, and belonging. 'My mother used to say I was born reaching, which is true. She also used to say it would get me killed, which it hasn't. Not yet, anyway.' Born in the dirt of the wasteland, Cara has fought her entire life just to survive. Now she has done the impossible, and landed herself a comfortable life on the lower levels of the wealthy and walled-off Wiley City. So long as she can keep her head down and avoid trouble, she's on a sure path to citizenship and security - on this world, at least. Of the 380 realities that have been unlocked, Cara is dead in all but 8. Cara's parallel selves are exceptionally good at dying - from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn't outrun - which makes Cara wary, and valuable. Because while multiverse travel is possible, no one can visit a world in which their counterpart is still alive. And no one has fewer counterparts than Cara. But then one of her eight doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, and Cara is plunged into a new world with an old secret. What she discovers will connect her past and future in ways she never could have imagined - and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her earth, but the entire multiverse. |

Maksa olisi helppo ottaa talteen, pakastettuna myrkky säilyisi riittävän pitkään. Sitä riittäisi tappamaan vaikka bussilastillisen turisteja. Kukaan ei osaisi yhdistää tämän päivän ostosta mihinkään. Kaikki menisi niin kuin pitää, ja hän pääsisi eroon ongelmistaan. Kun Riku Mäki kutsutaan huippukokkien kisaan Japaniin, hän tuntee olonsa monella tapaa epävarmaksi. Tämä on suljettu kilpailu, kuin toisesta maailmasta, jota hän ei tunne. Riittävätkö hänen taitonsa tällaiseen, tekeekö hän vain itsensä naurettavaksi? Pian käy ilmi, että tuo on huolista pienin. Helsinkiläinen Heikki Valkama (s. 1975) on toimittaja, kirjailija ja suomentaja. Leipätyönsä hän tekee Imagen päätoimittajana. Vuosia Japanissa asunut Valkama on japanilaisen kulttuurin tuntija, hän on kirjoittanut ja luennoinut aiheesta monissa eri yhteyksissä sekä kääntänyt japanilaisia sarjakuvia. |

55. The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene & Joost Elffers
|
|||
|
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy  New York Times  bestseller   is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that  People  magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.   Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package,  The 48 Laws of Power  is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game. |

ELOISE’S STORY Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn’t. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn’t. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn’t help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her? |
57. The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss

'This is a magnificent book' Anne McCaffrey 'I was reminded of Ursula K. Le Guin, George R. R. Martin, and J. R. R. Tolkein, but never felt that Rothfuss was imitating anyone' THE TIMES 'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic.

58. A Promised Land - Barack Obama
|
|||
|
THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Times / Guardian / Telegraph / i News / The New York Times / Washington Post / NPR / Marie Claire A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy 'Gorgeously written, humorous, compelling, life affirming' Justin Webb, Mail on Sunday In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of "hope and change," and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day. 'What is unexpected in A Promised Land is the former president's candour' David Olusoga, Observer |

|

|
Ensimmäinen Noituri-fantasiaromaani - kirja, josta The Witcher -peli sai alkunsa. Fantasiaa vaativaan makuun: älykästä huumoria ja synkkien metsien melankoliaa. Tähtifantasia-palkinto 2011! Viimeisen toivomuksen arvoituksellinen sankari on Geralt, jonka ammattina on maiden ja mantujen rauhaa häiritsevien epäihmisten surmaaminen. Mutta yhtä usein kuin Geralt suojelee ihmisiä varjoissa lymyileviltä kimairoilta, hän joutuu toteamaan vihollisensa taikuuden uhriksi: viatonkin ihminen voi tulla noidutuksi ihmissudeksi, ja kaunein hymy voi kuulua petolliselle vampyyrille. Ihmisyyttä ei voi tunnistaa katsomalla. Viimeinen toivomus on harmaiden alueiden ja hienovaraisten vihjeiden kirja, rohkean sanailun ja kuivan huumorin läpäisemä mutta melankolinen. Se on vauhdikasta mutta maalta tuoksuvaa ja ihmiskuviltaan tinkimätöntä fantasiaa, jossa mielikuvitukselliset pedot, prinsessat ja linnanherrat nähdään uudenlaisissa luonnerooleissa. Se aloittaa saagan, joka kartoittaa ihmisyyden rajaseutuja niin kuin vain tarumaailma voi parhaimmillaan tehdä. Noituri -fantasiasarjan osat ovat: 1. Viimeinen toivomus, 2. Kohtalon miekka, 3. Haltiain verta, 4. Halveksunnan aika, 5. Tulikaste, 6. Pääskytorni, 7. Järven neito |

68. Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis
|
|||
|
The original classic that revealed the truth about ambition, greed and excess in London and Wall Street, by the author of bestsellers THE BIG SHORT and THE PREMONITION. __________ The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar's Poker . Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street's premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. From mere trainee to lowly geek, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis's pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-80s when they were probably the world's most powerful and profitable merchant bank. Funny, frightening, breathless and heartless, Liar's Poker is the original story of hysterical greed and excessive ambition, one that is now more potent and enthralling than ever. __________ 'If you thought Gordon Gekko of the Wall Street movie was an implausibly corrupt piece of fiction, see how you like the real thing. This rip-the-lid-off account of the bond-dealing brouhaha is the work of a real-life bond salesman.' The Sunday Times 'So memorable and alive . . . one of those rare works that encapsulate and define an era.' Fortune 'The funniest book on Wall Street I've ever read.'

"Kukaan ei luo kiehtovampia juonikuvioita kuin Ohlsson. Kerta kaikkiaan briljanttia." – Maj Sjöwall (Beck-dekkarisarjan kirjoittaja) Syntitaakka on odotettu, kuudes Fredrika Bergman -jännitystarina Ruotsin dekkarikuningattarelta, Kristina Ohlssonilta. Miestä on ammuttu rintaan. Hän lojuu nojatuolissa takkatulen loimeessa. Kuolleena. Mutta miksi ihmeessä hänellä on pikkusormessaan tyttärensä vihkisormus? Toisella puolen kaupunkia hautausurakoitsija etsii veljeään. Veljeä, jota kukaan muu ei tunnu kaipaavaan ja joka pahimmassa tapauksessa on lopullisesti menetetty. Samaan aikaan perheenäiti yrittää pitää tilannetta jotenkin hallinnassa miehensä muuttuessa päivä päivältä vaarallisemmaksi. Aika käy vähiin ja naisen on yhä vaikeampaa suojella itseään ja lapsiaan. Siviilitutkija Fredrika Bergman ja rikospoliisi Alex Recht oivaltavat tapausten yhteydet ja heidät vedetään mukaan tapahtumien pyöritykseen jossa vanhat synnit palaavat muistuttamaan itsestään. Joku tahtoo oikaista vääryyksiä ja jättää Alexille nimettömiä viestejä. Mutta kuka? Rikoksentekijä näyttää aina olevan askelen edellä. Syntitaakka on intensiivinen ja jännittävä rikosromaani, jossa kaikki mikä kerran kätketään palaa vielä päivänvaloon. Ruotsalainen Kristina Ohlsson (s. 1979) on julkaissut jo 14 teosta: jännityskirjallisuutta sekä aikuisille että nuorille lukijoille. Vapaana kirjailijana hän on toiminut vuodesta 2012. Ennen kirjailijanuraansa Ohlsson oli Lähi-itään ja EU:n ulkopolitiikkaan erikoistunut politiikan tutkija. Hän on työskennellyt Ruotsin turvallisuuspoliisissa, ulkoasiainministeriössä sekä viimeksi Euroopan turvallisuus- ja yhteistyöjärjestön (ETYJ:n) analyytikkona Wienissä. Ohlsson aloitti ensimmäisen romaaninsa Nukketalon kirjoittamisen ollessaan työkomennuksella Bagdadissa. Ohlssonin älykkäät ja taitavasti rakennetut dekkarit ovat nostaneet hänet Pohjoismaiden suosituimpien jännityskirjailijoiden joukkoon. Ohlssonilta on aiemmin suomennettu viisi rikostutkija Fredrika Bergmanista kertovaa dekkaria Nukketalo, Tuhatkaunot, Varjelijat, Paratiisiuhrit ja Daavidintähdet . Suosittujen dekkareidensa lisäksi hän on kirjoittanut nuorille suunnattuja jännitysromaaneja, joista jokainen on ollut Ruotsissa listaykkönen. Vuonna 2016 suomeksi ilmestyi asianajaja Martin Benneriä käsittelevä kaksiosainen jännityssarja: Lotus blues ja Mion blues . |

"Be prepared for a serious book hangover as you embark on a year's worth of sexy heroes and wild rides!" –Meredith Wild, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of the Hacker Series Synopsis A fiancée. I’m going to Chicago to pretend to be some Italian Stallion’s future wife. Why a massive hunk, boxer, and rich restaurateur needs a fake bride is beyond me. Then again, I’m not paid to know why. I’m paid $100,000 to be his escort, or in this case, the woman he’s supposedly “going” to marry. The moment I met Antony “Tony” Fasano, I thought I might have lost my ability to breathe. In my twenty four years of life, I’d not seen anything like him. Clad only in a small towel precariously dangling from his hips--water droplets streaming down every inch of his muscular frame--I knew right then and there, I’d finally seen male perfection in all its raw glory. What happened next blew me away. It was now abundantly clear why he needed me...a fake fiancée. |

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Who would have thought something as simple as changing the way we breathe could be so revolutionary for our health, from snoring to allergies to immunity? A fascinating book, full of dazzling revelations' Dr Rangan Chatterjee There is nothing more essential to our health and wellbeing than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. In Breath , journalist James Nestor travels the world to discover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can: - jump-start athletic performance - rejuvenate internal organs - halt snoring, allergies, asthma and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again. |

78. The Complete Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series Books 1-7 - Isaac Asimov
|

|
The story of our future begins with the Foundation. Named the best series of all time by the Hugo Awards, the Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov unquestionably comprise one of the great masterworks of science fiction, unsurpassed for its unique blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building. Now, all seven volumes are together for the first time in this essential eBook bundle:   FOUNDATION FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE SECOND FOUNDATION FOUNDATION’S EDGE FOUNDATION AND EARTH PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION FORWARD THE FOUNDATION   For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humanity, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls this sanctuary the Foundation.   But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankind’s last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and live as slaves—or take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.   Praise for Isaac Asimov and his Foundation series   “A true polymath, a superb rationalist, an exciting and accessible writer in both fiction and nonfiction, Isaac Asimov was simply a master of all he surveyed.”—Greg Bear   “Asimov served wondrous meals-of-the-mind to a civilization that was starved for clear thinking about the future. To this day, his visions spice our ongoing dinner-table conversation about human destiny.”—David Brin   “Isaac was still in his teens when I met him, a fan of mine before I was a fan of his. Writing for John W. Campbell back in the famous ‘golden age of science fiction,’ he became one of the founders of our field. With the Robot stories and the Foundation stories, he helped to shape science fiction as we know it.”—Jack Williamson   “I grew up on the ABC’s of science fiction—Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke. There’s a reason Asimov’s name comes first, and not just because of the alphabet!”—Janis Ian   “With his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers.”—Kevin J. Anderson   “If anything can be said to have been the launch pad for space-age science fiction, it has to be the Foundation trilogy. It’s a classic. And it’s unforgettable.”—Jack McDevitt   “The Foundation series is one of the masterpieces of science fiction. If you’ve never read these novels, then you’re in for a treat, and even if you’ve already read them, then you owe it to yourself to reread them, because they’re still great.”—Allen Steele   “Quite simply, Asimov got me started.”—Liz Williams |
