Армагед-дом
Мир на пороховой бочке, и несколько раз за век эта бочка взрывается Апокалипсисом. Из моря выходят чудовища, звезда Полынь опрокидывается в реки, превращая воду в кровь, ангел трубит в трубу над пепелищами. Лишь загадочные Врата сумеют спасти живых, чтобы люди могли после катастрофы отсроить жизнь заново – если, конечно, успеют войти в эти Врата. Мир привык, потому что привыкают ко всему. Лгут депутаты, мудрствуют спецслужбы, защищаются диссертации, рождаются дети. И конечно же, выдаются спецпропуска во Врата. Все как всегда, все как везде; регулярный, обыденный, ужасный Армагеддон, ставший для его обитателей Армагед-домом. Жизнь главной героини – тому порука. И тем не менее…

His Last Bow
"His Last Bow" is a collection of seven Sherlock Holmes stories (eight in American editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the title of one of the stories in that collection. Adventures involving an illustrious client and a Sussex vampire; the problems of Thor Bridge and of the Lions Mane; puzzles concerning a creeping man and the three-gabled house; disappearances of secret plans and a lady of noble standing; all test the courage of Dr Watson and the intellect of the greatest detective of them all, Mr Sherlock Homes.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Throughout these classic crime stories, we see Holmes at his incisive and eccentric best. All groups within Victorian society feature, from European aristocrats to travelling Gypsies, mad doctors to innocent ladies. These are truly classic stories and a perfect introduction to the fascinating world of Sherlock Holmes.
Beyond The City
In 'Beyond the City', the desire for money and romance drives the characters beyond the typical boundaries of their middle class Victorian lives. Lust, deceit, and financial scandals rock their placid world. The girl next door is much more than ordinary in this surprising domestic romance by Arthur Conan Doyle. A remarkable departure from his famous detective stories, 'Beyond the City' explores the relationships between the residents of three adjoining homes.
