Manas pārdomas

Reiz sensenie laiki, kad dievi un dievības dzīvoja uz zemes un valdīja pār muļķa divkājiem klātienē. Rodoties jauniem dieviem un tiem iegūstot atzinību un popularitāti, neizbēgami kādam no vecās gvardes lemts noputēt aizmirstībā. Lai gan reizē dažādās pasaules malās eksistē vairāki, teiksim kara dievi, bija jūtams liels uzsvars (vārdu dēļ varbūt ) uz Indijas reģionu no šīspasaules.

Manas pārdomas

Ceturtais titānu voljums, izņemot pašu sākumu dod ieskatu garajā un grūtajā jauno kareivju apmācības procesā. Jāšana ar zirgu, izturības skrējieni, cīņu treniņi bez ieročiem, tehniskās/praktiskās iemaņas un stratēģijas lekcijas – vai ar to ir gana, lai gala rezultātā katrs būtu spējīgs stāties pretī titānam un palikt dzīvajos, droši vien parādīs tikai reāla cīņa ar dzīviem titāniem, kuru uzbrukumu neviens treniņa uzdevums nespēj pilnībā simulēt.

Greg Iles – The Bone Tree (Penn Cage #5)

22693231

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

THE DARKEST TRUTHS WILL COME TO LIGHT
Former prosecutor Penn Cage faces the crisis of a lifetime. His family has been torn apart and his father made a fugitive after being accused of murdering an African-American nurse.

Now, Penn has unwittingly started a war with the Double Eagles, a violent faction of the KKK who know more about Dr. Tom Cage than Penn ever did.

Tracking his father through Natchez and beyond, Penn is targeted by criminals and corrupt police whose power reaches the top levels of state government – people who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out.

To clear Tom’s name, Penn must either make a deal with the devil or destroy him. But there are others pursuing a different mission – one which will lead them to the ‘Bone Tree’, a legendary killing site that conceals far more than the remains of the dead

Kathy Reichs – Monday Mourning (Temperance Brennan #7) (Audio book)

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

The secrets of the dead are in her hands. 

The bones of three young women are unearthed in the basement of a Montreal pizza parlor, and forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan has unsolved murder on her mind as she examines the shallowly buried remains. Coming up against a homicide cop who is convinced the dead have been entombed on the site for centuries, Tempe perseveres, even with her own relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan at a delicate turning point. In the lab, the clean, well-perserved bones offer few clues. But when Carbon 14 confirms her hunch that these were recent deaths despite the antique buttons found near the bodies, Tempe’s probing must produce answers quickly to stop a killer whose grisly handiwork has seen the light of day.

Roberto Bolanjo – 2666

18742983

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

Santateresa, mazpilsēta tālajā Meksikā pie ASV robežas, ir vieta, kurā kā mežonīgā, vilinošā atvarā saplūst ļaudis no visas pasaules griezdamies un rotēdami, uzpeldēdami un grimdami, brīžiem aizrijoties savos sapņos, vēlmēs un iedomās: trīs literatūrkritiķi no Eiropas te mēģina atrast noslēpumainu vācu rakstnieku, jo kāds sacījis, ka viņš manīts Santateresā, afroamerikāņu reportieris no Ņujorkas ieradies rakstīt par boksa maču, nezināms slepkava (vai slepkavas) jau gadiem ilgi pilsētiņā un tās apkaimē nogalina meitenes un jaunas sievietes, veca vārdotāja redz dīvainas zīmes, iemīlējies šerifs auž tīklus, lai notvertu slepkavu, politiķi nemana neko, klusi, bet klātesoši ir arī narkobaroni, un dzīve aumaļām virst pāri malām. Dienvidamerikāņu kaislības, kuru saknes meklējamas tālajā Eiropā, veido brīnišķīgu fonu bagātīgajam žanru mikslim: detektīvromāns, literatūras un politikas vēsture, mīla un dēkas, karš un citi trakuma paveidi; krāšņa, lieliska un sulīga valoda.

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

“Fans of TV’s CSI: Crime Scene Investigation should be in heaven” (People) stepping into the world of forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan, star of Kathy Reichs’ electrifyingly authentic bestsellers.

A harrowing excavation unearths a chilling tragedy never laid to rest.

They are “the disappeared,” twenty-three massacre victims buried in a well in the Guatemalan village of Chupan Ya two decades ago. Leading a team of experts on a meticulous, heartbreaking dig, Tempe Brennan pieces together the violence of the past. But a fresh wave of terror begins when the horrific sounds of a fatal attack on two colleagues come in on a blood-chilling satellite call. Teaming up with Special Crimes Investigator Bartolomé Galiano and Montreal detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe quickly becomes enmeshed in the cases of four privileged young women who have vanished from Guatemala City — and finds herself caught in deadly territory where power, money, greed, and science converge.

Tess Gerritsen – Last to Die (Rizzoli & Isles #10)

13272498

Grāmatas apraksts no Goodreads/Synopsis from Goodreads:

For the second time in his short life, Teddy Clock has survived a massacre. Two years ago, he barely escaped when his entire family was slaughtered. Now, at fourteen, in a hideous echo of the past, Teddy is the lone survivor of his foster family’s mass murder. Orphaned once more, the traumatized teenager has nowhere to turn—until the Boston PD puts detective Jane Rizzoli on the case. Determined to protect this young man, Jane discovers that what seemed like a coincidence is instead just one horrifying part of a relentless killer’s merciless mission.

Jane spirits Teddy to the exclusive Evensong boarding school, a sanctuary where young victims of violent crime learn the secrets and skills of survival in a dangerous world. But even behind locked gates, and surrounded by acres of sheltering Maine wilderness, Jane fears that Evensong’s mysterious benefactors aren’t the only ones watching. When strange blood-splattered dolls are found dangling from a tree, Jane knows that her instincts are dead on. And when she meets Will Yablonski and Claire Ward, students whose tragic pasts bear a shocking resemblance to Teddy’s, it becomes chillingly clear that a circling predator has more than one victim in mind.

Joining forces with her trusted partner, medical examiner Maura Isles, Jane is determined to keep these orphans safe from harm. But an unspeakable secret dooms the children’s fate—unless Jane and Maura can finally put an end to an obsessed killer’s twisted quest.

It should have been a night to remember, but Maura Isles can’t recall a thing.

Maura is at a party. A handsome man approaches. He’s charming and sophisticated. She flirts and drinks champagne. And then nothing. Total blackness. Nothing, that is, apart from these two facts: a man is dead and her address is found in his pocket . . .
