Torbellino de pasión: destino Montecarlo (Ladronas de corazones #Volumen 3)
by Marian ArpaSony sabe que se tiene que mantener bien lejos de Daniel Collado, sin embargo, parece encontrárselo por todas partes. Tercera entrega de la trepidante, divertida y apasionante serie Ladronas de corazones. Sony Logan es una ingeniera informática, que vive Innsbruck, su ciudad natal y adora las montañas que la rodean. Vive en una casa en las alturas y adora practicar el parapente. Lo hace siempre que puede, o cuando necesita desconectar de su trabajo para aclararse las ideas. En uno de estos vuelos, un hombre se la lleva por delante cuando toca el suelo y ella le dice de todo menos bonito. ¡Hay personas a las que no se les debería permitir volar! Daniel Collado es socio de la aseguradora Erlington, de París. Ha trabajado mucho para tener un despacho en la última planta, la de los ejecutivos. Es un hombre satisfecho de su vida, no cree en el amor, pero no le hace falta nunca compañía femenina. Una mala experiencia del pasado lo hace desconfiar de todas las mujeres, y no deja que ninguna se le acerque demasiado. Se muestra ante el mundo como si fuera su dueño, además es prepotente. Hasta que encuentra una mujer que le canta las cuarenta. Como está acostumbrado a que todas le dediquen caídas de pestañas, no sabe cómo reaccionar ante aquella que le grita. Sony recibe la llamada de su amiga, que la convoca a Formentera porque necesita su ayuda para llevar a cabo una misión: recuperar los objetos que un desalmado ha robado antes de que estallara la Guerra Civil española y devolverlo a sus legítimos dueños. La hazaña no le resultará nada fácil. Mucho menos, cuando Daniel se dedica a perseguir a Sony. A él le atrae a la vez que le intriga esa mujer que parece quererlo bien lejos de ella. No está acostumbrado a que le den calabazas y Sony no para de dárselas, lo que la hace más deseable a sus ojos. ¿Logrará Daniel salvar las barreras que ella ha construido alrededor de su corazón? ¿Será Sony capaz de alejarse de ese hombre que la atrae como ninguno? * ¿Hasta qué punto reparar un agravio justifica cometer otro? ¿Es la venganza una forma de justicia? Las ladronas de corazones tienen claro que harán lo necesario para recuperar las reliquias robadas a sus familias años atrás. Tienen un elaborado plan, dividido en cinco fases. Una por cada objeto a rescatar. Y, sin saberlo, una por cada corazón a conquistar. Cinco mujeres que se unieron para ser ladronas de tesoros robados terminarán siendo ladronas de corazones.
Torched
by John BrosnanFirst, you feel uncomfortably hot. But it's no use turning up the air conditioning or reaching for a long, cool drink. Whatever you do, the temperature inside you keeps rising. And rising. Soon you're in agony beyond your wildest nightmares as your whole body is engulfed in searing, unbearable heat. You go mad briefly with the pain. Then, with luck, you black out. If your luck holds, you're dead soon after. Very dead. But your involuntary cremation continues. Your blood boils in your veins for a few seconds - before it bursts them. As your tortured corpse dries out from the horror-heat inside it, your skin blisters, pops, bursts - and then flares into scorching flame fueled by your own melding body-fat. Clouds of choking, greasy smoke join the searing blaze consuming what's left of you. You have become your own funeral pyre...

Total Propaganda: Basic Marxist Brainwashing for the Angry and the Young
by Helen RazerA cheeky introduction to Marxism and socialism for everyone fed up with their capitalist woes. Millennials have it bad. They face the problems of underemployment, unaffordable housing, and economists who write crap columns telling them it’s their fault for taking an Uber to brunch. Today the future’s so dark we need night vision goggles, not a few liberal guys shining a torch on a sandwich. Maybe today we could use the light of Karl Marx. Marx may not have had much to say about brunch in the twenty-first century, but he sure had some powerful thoughts about where the system of capitalism would land us. Over time, it would produce a series of crises, he said, before pushing the wealth so decisively up that the top-heavy system would come crashing down with a push. Pushy old communist Helen Razer offers an introduction to the thought of Marx for Millennials and anyone else tired of wage stagnation, growing global poverty, and economists writing desperate columns saying everything would work better if only we stopped eating avocado toast.

Toto the Ninja Cat and the Great Snake Escape: Book 1 (Toto #1)
by Dermot O’LearyMeet Toto: she's no ordinary cat, and she can't wait to have an adventure with you! Join Toto for a funny animal escapade written by one of the UK's best-loved broadcasters. For fans of The Aristocats, The Secret Life of Pets, 101 Dalmatians and Atticus Claw Breaks the Law. Toto the cat and her brother Silver live footloose and fancy-free in a townhouse in London. Toto is almost totally blind, and learned to trust her senses from a ninja cat-master who taught her back in Italy where they were born. By day, Toto and Silver seem to be ordinary cats, but by night, they love to have adventures! One evening, news reaches Toto that a king cobra has escaped from London Zoo! Together with help from a very posh rat and two hungry tigers, Toto and Silver must investigate. Can they find the giant snake, before it's too late? Dermot says: 'The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she had ninja-like reactions. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we're out or asleep. So before I knew it I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. I really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).'(P) 2017 Hodder Children's Books
