It is a far step from midshipman's berth to wardroom - and, at a time when most of the fleet is laid up, Bolitho is considered fortunate. Bolitho's promotion is tinged by personal sadness, but his new captain soon points out that Bolitho's loyalty is to him, the ship and His Britannic Majesty - in that order. Despatched on a secret mission far south to Rio and then to the Caribbean, Destiny and her company face the hazards of conspiracy, treason and piracy - and, as the little ship sails on, Bolitho has to learn how to accept his new responsibilities as a King's officer. All amid broadside battles at sea and the clash of swords in hand-to-hand actions...! Richard Bolitho's adventures continue in In Gallant Company.

As her new captain, Richard Bolitho is glad to go, despite the nature of his orders and the immensity of the voyage - for he is leaving an England still suffering from the aftermath of war. But he is to learn that signatures on proud documents do not necessarily make a lasting peace, and finds himself involved in a conflict as ruthless as the one which had given him his first command during the war with France. In an uneasy peace, the expansion of trade and colonial development in little-known areas of the East Indies soon push aside the pretence and bring the guns' fury into the open. There is no set line of battle or declared cause to rally Undine's small company, but the dangers and the endless demands have to be faced by the man who commands the only King's ship available. Bolitho's adventures continue in Passage to Mutiny. Autorid: Alexander Kent

Tegemist on rahvusvaheliselt tunnustatud Tiibeti budistliku õpetaja Sogyal Rinpoche põhjaliku teosega, mis ühendab iidse Tiibeti tarkuse ja tänapäevased teaduslikud uuringud surma ja suremise ning universumi olemuse kohta.

Sogyal Rinpoche käsitleb põhjalikult ka püsimatust, karmat, kaastunnet ja erinevaid meeleharjutusi. See väga elujaatav raamat on kirjutatud taolise soojuse ja mõistmisega, et üks lugejatest ütles: Ma ei tea, mis see on, aga see raamat lihtsalt armastab mind! Autorid: Sogyal
Viljandi on Eestis üks ilusamaid ja haruldasemaid linnu, sest paljud Eesti jaoks olulised asjad toimusid esimest korda just siin. Viljandi oli üks esimesi provintsilinnu, mis sai telefoni, veevärgi ja kanalisatsiooni ning kus linnatänavate petrooleumvalgustid asendati gaasi- ja elektrilampidega. Kanalisatsioon oli Viljandil juba 1906. aastal, kraanivett hakati veetornist kodanike korteritesse pumpama 1911. aastal ja Eesti esimese telefoniliini vedas Viljandi tööstur August Aleksander Rosenberg oma õllevabriku kontorist järveäärse auruveskini aastal 1881. Eesti kirjanik ja luuletaja Juhan Liiv on kunagi öelnud, et Viljandi ümbrus on paradiislikult ilus. Ilmselt mõtles ta seda ka Viljandi kohta ja sellega on raske mitte nõustuda. Raamatus on legendid, vanad lood, uued ja uusimad lood. Nagu lugude ja legendide puhul ikka, on mitmedki neist suust suhu liikudes veidi muutunud, aga peaaegu kõikide puhul võib öelda, et need on kunagi ühel või teisel moel juhtunud. Pakkugu need rohkem kui kolmsada Viljandiga seotud lugu meelelahutust, andku teadmisi vanast ja uuemast ajast ning aidaku mõista üht vana linna, mille nimeks on Viljandi, ning selle inimesi. Ja muidugi pole selles raamatus kirjas mitte kõik Viljandi ja tema elanikega seotud lood, vaid ainult tühine murdosa. Raamat sisaldab üle 300 loo Viljandi kaugest minevikust kuni tänapäevani välja. Lisaks on raamatus ligi 200 foto või illustratsiooni. Sellest raamatust saab lugeja aimu, kuidas Viljandis on elatud, mida tehti ja milliseid põnevad lugusid on juhtunud. See on huvitav lugemine nii praegustele viljandimaalastele kui ka endistele. Sobiv ka kinkeraamatuna noortele ja vanadele. Autorid: Heiki Raudla
