Brian King Knihy

Určitě se vám to už někdy stalo! Nemáte ani ponětí, co se svým životem dál, a najednou potkáte přítele, kterého jste roky neviděli, a jeho mimochodem pronesená poznámka vám ukáže řešení.

Nemohli vynechat ani všeobecně známé příklady, jakými byla podivná předpověď zkázy lodě Titanic, či podobnosti v životech Lincolna a Kennedyho.
