A grieving daughter’s search for her mother becomes a journey across alternate realities in Bridge, a wildly entertaining, reality-bending new thriller from Lauren Beukes, author of the AppleTV+ smash hit The Shining Girls.

It was a game they played; the other worlds, the other lives. It was part of her mom’s grand delusions. It wasn’t real. Unless it was…

Bridget Kittinger has always been paralyzed by choices. It has a lot to do with growing up in the long shadow of her mother, Jo, a troubled neuroscientist. Jo’s obsession with one mythical object, the “dreamworm”—which she believed enabled travel to other worlds—led to their estrangement.

Now, suddenly, Jo is dead. And in packing up her home, Bridge finds a strange device buried deep in Jo’s freezer: the dreamworm. Against all odds, it actually can open the door—to all other realities, and to all other versions of herself, too. Could Bridge find who she should be in this world, by visiting the others? And could her Jo still be alive somewhere? But there’s a sinister cost to trading places, and others hunting the dreamworm who would kill to get their hands on it . . .

Across a thousand possible lives, from Portland to Haiti, from Argentina to the alligator-infested riverways of North Carolina, Bridge takes readers on a highly original thrill ride, pushing the boundaries of what we know about mothers and daughters, hunters and seekers, and who we each choose to be.

A world of women
A mother and son on the run
Three years after a virus wiped out most men on earth, Cole's son, Miles, is one of the rare survivors.
Yet in this changed world, there are women who would kill to get their hands on that most prized commodity - a living boy.
Getting Miles to safety means crossing America with deadly pursuers hot on their heels - including Cole's own sister, Billie.
But if there are some who will commit any crime to possess Miles, Cole must face some terrible choices to protect her son . . .

С раннего детства Харпер Кертис был одержим жаждой крови. Однажды в его руки попадает ключ от Дома, двери которого открываются в другие времена, и который диктует ему свои правила. Отныне Харпер должен убивать молодых женщин: ярких, талантливых, сияющих. Соблюдая чудовищный ритуал, убийца каждый раз замыкает временную петлю и уходит в неизвестность, чтобы продолжать охоту. Но один единственный он ошибается и очередная жертва, Кирби, выживает. Теперь отважная девушка сама идет сквозь время, преследуя неуловимого монстра.

Вирус Калгоа выкосил почти все мужское население Земли. Но мир женщин оказался совсем не мирным: террористки-фанатички, черный рынок спермы и процветание принципа "выживает сильнейший". Мужчины стали большой редкостью, а женщины скорбят о потерянных детях, мужьях и отцах. У Майлса иммунитет, и его мать крадет мальчика из спецлагеря, чтобы вывезти из Америки на родину. На них начинается охота. Но самое страшное – когда родной человек готов на предательство ради денег и роскошной жизни.

Blade Runner meets The Handmaid's Tale in this thrilling story of how far a mother will go to protect her son in a hostile world transformed by the sudden absence of men. Cole and her twelve-year-old, Miles, are on the lam. Fleeing across the American West, they're desperate to find a safe haven. Until they do, they must maintain their disguise--as mother and daughter. Because Miles, a boy, is the most valuable commodity in the world. Within just a few, horrifying years, ninety-nine percent of the global male population has died in a pandemic. Now, women run everything, from neighborhood bars to police departments to research programs…

"Scary as hell and hypnotic. I couldn't put it down...I'd grab it if I were you." --Stephen King A criminal mastermind creates violent tableaus in abandoned Detroit warehouses in Lauren Beukes's new genre-bending novel of suspense. Detective Gabriella Versado has seen a lot of bodies. But this one is unique even by Detroit's standards: half boy, half deer, somehow fused together. As stranger and more disturbing bodies are discovered, how can the city hold on to a reality that is already tearing at its seams? If you're Detective Versado's geeky teenage daughter, Layla, you commence a dangerous flirtation with a potential predator…

What's really going on? Who's really in charge? You have NO. F***KING. IDEA.


A frighteningly persuasive, high-tech fable, this novel follows the lives of four narrators living in an alternative futuristic Cape Town, South Africa. An art-school dropout, and AIDS baby, a tech-activist and an RPG-obsessed blogger live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment, but someone's got to stand up to Government Inc. - whatever the cost. Taking hedonistic trends in society to their ultimate conclusions, this tale paints anything but a forecasted utopia, satirically undermining the reified idea of progress as society's white knight.

From the bestselling author of "The Shining Girls" and the Arthur C. Clarke-award-winning "Zoo City".

Грабеж, насилие, убийства - здесь обычное дело. Зинзи Лелету, бывшая журналистка, в наркотическом бреду застрелившая своего брата, таскает на спине ленивца, ее друг Бенуа - мангуста.
