      Když mluvíme o sexu, mluvíme o ženství a mateřství, nevěře a zneužívání, souhlasu a respektu, spravedlnosti a rovnostářství, lásce a nenávisti, rozkoši a bolesti. A přesto o něm z nejrůznějších důvodů (některých složitých, a jiných vůbec ne) řada z nás nemluví. Své nejhlubší a nejintimnější obavy i fantazie skrýváme uzamčené v sobě, dokud se neobjeví někdo s klíčem. Ten klíč je tady. Gillian Andersonová v této přelomové knize uvádí sbírku anonymních dopisů stovek žen z celého světa, včetně vlastního anonymního dopisu. Od sikhské ženy, která popisuje svou tajnou touhu po švagrovi; Apačky, která chce být uctívaná jako božské stvoření; bílé Britky, která nechce nic víc, než aby ji někdo naposledy pořádně políbil; další, která si ráda hraje na pantera; anebo od hispánské Židovky žijící v Bangladéši, pro kterou vrchol sexuálního vzrušení představuje otočná koule u dveří. Chci odhaluje, jak ženy vnímají sex, když jim naprostá anonymita poskytne svobodu.

      Imagine a sisterhood - across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best...

      From Gillian Anderson, star of the X-Files, and New York Times bestselling coauthor Jeff Rovin comes the second book in the thrilling paranormal series Earthend Saga that began with A Vision of Fire, which Marie Claire called “addictive!” After uncovering a mystical link to the ancient civilization of Galderkhaan, child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is left with strange new powers. Suddenly she can heal her young patients with her mind and see things from other places and other times. But as she learns more about her powers, she also realizes that someone is watching her, perhaps hunting her—and using her son to do it. Meanwhile Mikel Jasso, a field agent for a mysterious research organization, is searching for Galderkhaani ruins in Antarctica. After falling down a crevasse, he discovers the entire city has been preserved under ice and that the mysterious stone artifacts he’s been collecting are not as primitive as he thought. As Mikel and Caitlin work to uncover the mysteries of the Galderkhaani, they realize that the person hunting Caitlin and the stones may be connected in ways they never knew possible. “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly) in the Earthend Saga, and this latest adventure is sure to leave you gasping for breath as Caitlin races against time to save what’s dearest to her heart.

      Iconic "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson and "New York Times" bestseller Jeff Rovin team up in this 'gripping' thriller ("Publisher Weekly") that follows a brilliant child psychologist on her quest to save her young patient - and the world. The daughter of India's ambassador to the United Nations starts speaking in tongues and having violent visions. A young Haitian girl claws at her throat, apparently drowning on dry land. An Iranian boy suddenly sets himself on fire. Called to treat Maanik, the ambassador's daughter, renowned child psychologist Caitlin O'Hara is sure the fits have something to do with the recent assassination attempt on her father - a shooting that has escalated nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan - but when teenagers around the world start having similar outbursts, Caitlin is forced to consider a more sinister force at work. Caitlin must now race across the globe to identify the links connecting these bizarre incidents in order to save Maanik - whose very soul might be in peril - and perhaps the world.
