The Well Of Lost Plots - Jasper Fforde - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The third book in the phenomenal Thursday Next series from Number One bestselling author Jasper Fforde. In the words of one critic: ''Don''t ask. Just read it.'' Leaving Swindon behind her to hide out in the Well of Lost Plots (the place where all fiction is created), Thursday Next, Literary Detective and soon-to-be one parent family, ponders her next move from within an unpublished book of dubious merit entitled ''Caversham Heights''. Landen, her husband, is still eradicated, Aornis Hades is meddling with Thursday''s memory, and Miss Havisham - when not sewing up plot-holes in ''Mill on the Floss'' - is trying to break the land-speed record on the A409. But something is rotten in the state of Jurisfiction. Perkins is ''accidentally'' eaten by the minotaur, and Snell succumbs to the Mispeling Vyrus. As a shadow looms over popular fiction, Thursday must keep her wits about her and discover not only what is going on, but also who she can trust to tell about it ... With grammasites, holesmiths, trainee characters, pagerunners, baby dodos and an adopted home scheduled for demolition, ''The Well of Lost Plots'' is at once an addictively exciting adventure and an insight into how books are made, who makes them - and why there is no singular for ''scampi''.With grammasites, holesmiths, trainee characters, pagerunners, baby dodos and an adopted home scheduled for demolition, ''The Well of Lost Plots'' is at once an addictively exciting adventure and an insight into how books are made, who makes them - and why there is no singular for ''scampi''.

The Lincoln Myth - Steve Berry - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

The Lincoln Myth - Steve Berry - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

International bestseller Steve Berry returns with another brilliant Cotton Malone thriller involving a mystery about Abraham Lincoln and a political issue that''s as explosive as it is timely - not only in Malone''s world, but in ours. September 1861: All is not as it seems. With these cryptic words, a shocking secret passed down from president to president comes to rest in the hands of Abraham Lincoln. And as the first bloody clashes of the Civil War unfold, Lincoln alone must decide how best to use this volatile knowledge: save thousands of American lives, or keep the young nation from being torn apart forever? The present: In Utah, the fabled remains of Mormon pioneers whose nineteenth-century expedition across the desert met with a murderous end have been uncovered. In Washington, D.C., the official investigation of an international entrepreneur, an elder in the Mormon church, has sparked a political battle between the White House and a powerful United States senator. In Denmark, a Justice Department agent, missing in action, has fallen into the hands of a dangerous zealot - a man driven by divine visions to make a prophet''s words reality. And in a matter of a few short hours, Cotton Malone has gone from quietly selling books at his shop in Denmark to dodging bullets in a high-speed boat chase.All it takes is a phone call from his former boss in Washington, and suddenly the ex-agent is racing to rescue an informant carrying critical intelligence. It''s just the kind of perilous business that Malone has been trying to leave behind, ever since he retired from the Justice Department. But once he draws enemy blood, Malone is plunged into a deadly conflict - a constitutional war secretly set in motion more than two hundred years ago by America''s Founding Fathers.From the streets of Copenhagen to the catacombs of Salzburg to the rugged mountains of Utah, the grim spectre of the Civil War looms as a dangerous conspiracy gathers power. Malone risks life, liberty, and his greatest love in a race for the truth about Abraham Lincoln - while the fate of the United States of America hangs in the balance.

Driven - Susie Wolff - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it - the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. A little girl who dared to dream to one day race in Formula One. As a teenager, the posters in her bedroom were not of boy bands or movie stars, but of F1 racing heroes.As Susie Wolff rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid. Each time she was knocked down, she got back up with the unshakeable belief that instinct and resilience could carve a path through a world not designed for her. The journey was tough, but one day she was handed the opportunity of a lifetime - 25 laps in an F1 car. She knew chances like that didn't come often, and when they did, you had to grab them.After showing she could be competitive in an F1 car, what next? When her racing chapter ended, Susie didn't stall, she pivoted. Inspired by her husband Toto's strategic mind and relentless drive in powering one of the most successful F1 teams in history, Susie began to see a new dimension of the sport - one beyond the driver's seat. She led a struggling Formula E team and transformed it from being at the back of the grid to championship contention. More than that, she learned to evolve.F1 Academy became her next mission: to inspire young women to enter motorsport and shape the future of the sport she loves.In Driven, Susie lifts the bonnet for the first time on her extraordinary life. From the driver's seat of the racing car to the heart of the F1 paddock, she offers a rare, first-hand view into the inner workings of motorsport at its highest level. She shares the triumphs of her early driving career, the setbacks she faced and the motivations behind her bold shift from the cockpit to the boardroom. Along the way, she reflects on her transformative relationship with her husband Toto and how she has navigated the balance between ambition and motherhood. Told with clarity and grace, this is the inspirational story of a woman determined not just to compete - but to redefine the race.

The Flying Prince: Alexander Obolensky: The Rugby Hero Who Died Too Young - Hugh Godwin - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

**Winner of the Rugby Book of the Year at the Sports Book Awards 2022** Prince Alexander Sergeevich Obolensky made his name on a cold January day at Twickenham in 1936, his achievements captured for posterity by the newsreels of the time. On his England debut, having already scored one exhilarating try, the striking blond winger collected a pass on the right and, path blocked, veered left at such a pace that a line of opponents were left grasping at thin air. It was a historic try, unrivalled in skill and speed - and it inspired England''s first ever victory over the All Blacks.Born to a noble family in St Petersburg in 1916, he had been due a life of wealth and privilege, until revolution forced the Obolenskys to flee Russia. Arriving in Britain with just a handful of possessions, they were reduced to relying on handouts, little Alex''s very education resting on the charity of others. But as the young boy began his new life in a strange country, it was his natural sporting ability that would bring him lasting fame. The controversial selection for England of a Russian-born prince was a huge story in the press, stirring up xenophobia as well as excitement at the 19-year-old Oxford student''s sheer pace. His later exploits on and off the field would keep his name in the papers, yet Alex was destined to win only four international caps, despite touring with the Lions and appearing for the Barbarians. After joining the RAF to serve his adopted king and country, he died at the controls of a Hurricane in March 1940. Bringing a fascinating era to life, The Flying Prince explores the mystery and mythology surrounding Alexander Obolensky, and for the first time tells the full story of the sporting hero who died too young. ***** ''Well-researched . . . a pleasure to read.
