Tzv. společný román čili soubor povídek vymysleli a jako editoři sestavili Margaret Atwood a Douglas Preston. Koncept spočívá ve hře pro celou skupinu autorů přispívajících svým dílem do jednoho daného rámce, a tím je pandemie covidu v New Yorku. Kdo stihl před karanténou odjet z New Yorku na venkov, udělal to. Statisíce lidí však v New Yorku zůstaly, například obyvatelé jednoho notně omšelého činžáku. Skoro nikam se nesmí, ale střecha je pěkně plochá a dá se tam pohodlně posedět. Někdo přinese křeslo, někdo basu piv a lidé se tam začínají scházet, bez mobilů, zato každý se svým příběhem. Soused pozná souseda a hned se pandemie covidu-19 překonává o něco lépe. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Im packenden Thriller „Poison - Schwestern der Vergeltung“ stellen sich die Bestseller-Autoren Preston & Child dem Serienkiller Enoch Leng. Constance Greene geht einen verzweifelten Deal ein, um ihre Schwester zu retten, während Pendergast und sein Bruder Diogenes im Hintergrund agieren. Spannung, Mystery und Action garantieren ein fesselndes Leseerlebnis.

'Compelling' Marie Claire * 'Immensely enjoyable' Observer * 'Fascinating' Red * One week into lockdown, the tenants of a Manhattan apartment building have begun to gather on the rooftop each evening and tell stories in this exciting new twist on the novel. With each passing night, more and more neighbours gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned buckets. Gradually the tenants - some of whom have barely spoken to each other before now - become real neighbours. With each character secretly written by a different, major literary voice - from Margaret Atwood to John Grisham and Celeste Ng, Fourteen Days is a heart-warming ode to the power of storytelling and human connection. 'An immensely enjoyable product of an immensely unenjoyable time, Fourteen Days is lively, freewheeling... An impressive achievement' Observer 'Fourteen Days serves as a valuable reminder that stories can teach, console, provide a place of acceptance and perhaps even change their readers (or listeners)' Financial Times Includes writing from: Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Erica Jong, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Doug Preston, R.L. Stine, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, Meg Wolitzer and many more.

An epic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston, perfect for fans of Michael Crichton. The narrative delves into the real effort to resurrect woolly mammoths and other extinct megafauna from the Pleistocene Age. Erebus Resort, set in a breathtaking hundred-thousand-acre valley in the Colorado Rockies, allows guests to witness these creatures in their native habitat, brought back through genetic manipulation. However, when a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered by suspected eco-terrorists in the Erebus backcountry, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash teams up with county sheriff James Colcord to find the culprits. As the body count rises and the valley is evacuated, Cash and Colcord face an ancient, intelligent, and malevolent force at Erebus, intent on not just resurrection but extinction. Reviews highlight the book as a "creepy and creative variation on Jurassic Park" (Publishers Weekly) and a "breathlessly riveting" thriller that is both thought-provoking and entertaining (Lee Child). With a heart-stopping climax, it ingeniously blends real-life science with thrilling storytelling (Tess Gerritsen). Preston's masterful narrative keeps readers engaged and pondering long after the last page (Steve Berry).
