Victor Gischler Knihy

Carter Sloan je profesionální zabiják – ten nejlepší, kterého vláda budí z kryospánku pokaždé, když si nějaký úkol žádá jeho mimořádné schopnosti. Takže když zjistí, že ho tentokrát zmrazili na 258 let, vážně ho to nasere. Ale vláda potřebuje, aby vystopoval ženu známou jen pod přezdívkou „dcera Mosazného draka“. Závisí na tom totiž budoucnost galaktické Říše. A tak Sloan vyráží plnit úkol a za doprovodu nadávek si prostřílet a prošukat cestu napříč mezihvězdným prostorem. Gestapo Mars, to je akce, dobrodružství a nechutní rosolovití mimozemšťani…

Victor Gischler potvrzuje, že patří mezi absolutní špičku autorů, kteří dokáží vytvořit zběsilý a bláznivý příběh plný neuvěřitelných situací a nekompromisně drsných scén. Tentokrát čtenářům namíchal silný fantasy koktejl, do kterého přidal všechny prvky, které bychom od tohoto žánru očekávali - setkáme se s upírem, vlkodlakem, kouzelníky a čarodějkami, duchy i alchymisty hledajícími tajemství nesmrtelnosti. Překvapí nás také po zuby ozbrojení kněží a jeden rabín, jenž se vyzná v černé magii. * Hlavním dějištěm je Praha. Hlavní protagonista románu, univerzitní student Allen, je pověřen úkolem asistovat profesoru Evergreenovi při výzkumu o Kafkovi v Praze. Velmi brzy ale zjistí, že to, po čem chce profesor v našem hlavním městě pátrat, nemá s literaturou nic společného. Jde mu totiž o samotný kámen mudrců, pocházející z dob vlády císaře Rudolfa II., který si s jeho pomocí chtěl údajně zajistit nesmrtelnost. Kdo máte rádi černý humor, parodii na žánry fantasy a horor, absurditu, ale také „drsnější" ráz, krvavé i erotické výjevy, tomu by neměla tato publikace uniknout.

The story follows King Conan as he navigates the treacherous waters of royalty after claiming the throne of Aquilonia.

"Peyne Erlich's mission from the king is to learn everything he can about the rival kingdom's magical ink mage warriors. What he finds is Zayda Yond. Ever since Zayda was sold into servitude by her financially destitute father, her masters have taught her a punishing lesson: erase the past. Collared with an unmovable band of exotic metal, she faces a future of slavery. She's also become an ink mage, marked with a tattoo that enables her to experience the world as no one else can--a powerful honor, yet one out of her control. Now, Zayda dreams only of escape. She gets her chance when a scuttled ocean passage leaves her in a longboat, and in the company of another lone survivor, Peyne, a foreign envoy--spoiled, noble, a libertine, and a gambler. He's also a skilled fighter. And when they make it to land, in wild and unfamiliar jungle territory, he's the only person Zayda can trust. Then come rumors of a lost desert city said to hold the key to removing Zayda's collar. Shadowed by enemies who want to use her power to win their own war, Zayda must fight for her freedom--whatever the cost. And Peyne will do anything to help her."--Provided by publisher
