Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of cluesa bee, a key, and a swordthat lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardiansit is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction. Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purposein both the mysterious book and in his own life.

Roman 91,6 Mhz glasom protiv topova istinita je priča o nekoliko mjeseci prije i za vrijeme opsade Vukovara viđenih očima novinarke Radio-Vukovara Alenke Mirković. Iako od samog početka od mirnog nedjeljnog posljepodneva prekinutog mitingaškim ludilom do grozničave trke preko miniranih kukuruzišta znamo mjesto i vrijeme zločina, ime žrtve i lice ubojice. Napetost koju generira ova priča snažnija je od bilo koje izmišljene, njen naboj jači je od strujnog udara gole žice pod naponom, a svaka uspomena koju budi bolnija je od žive rane Napisan pet godina nakon stvarnog događaja ispripovijedan jasnim i preciznim iskazom ratnog izvjestitelja, prošaran neuništivim šarmom mlade žene zahvaćene ratnim vihorom i prožet detaljima sudbina vukovarskih branitelja ovaj roman funkcionira i kao osobna ispovjest i kao kronika ekipe Radio Vukovara, no više od svega to je izvorni hrvatski ratni roman kakvog do sad još nismo imali. To je i osnovni razlog zašto je ovo djelo Alenke Mirković prvo pojavljivanje hrvatskog pisca u nakladi Algoritma. Vizualni ugođaj naslovnici dao je Vanja Garaj obradivši jednu od rijetkih fotografija Siniše Glavaševića iz podrumskog radija Svi događaji opisani u ovoj knjizi doista su se zbili, svi likovi su istiniti, nijedno ime nije promijenjeno da bi zaštitilo bilo koga – žrtvama ta zaštita sada više nije potrebna, a krivcima je ne treba dati.

Tko je Stephen Glass i što mu se dogodilo? Stephen Glass je novinar koji je lagao (i to ne baš malo), dobio otkaz, a nakon svega napisao je knjigu o tome. Zašto je to važno? Zato što je temeljeno na istinitoj priči, a uz nju je na neočekivano dobar – čitaj efektan, zabavan i smiješan - način pridodana priča o novinarstvu, novinarskoj etici i sivoj zoni između činjenica i laži koju svakodnevno susrećemo na stranicama dnevnog i tjednog tiska. Nastojeći izbjeći posljedice skandala koji je izazvao kao novinski izvjestitelj, a izmislio je gotovo sve što je objavio, Glass nam prenosi doživljaje još neobičnije od svojih lagarija, a likovi na koje nailazimo kao da su ispali iz komedije situacija. Dok bježi od drugih novinara koji ga progone kako bi još bolje olajali kolegu-lažljivca, Stephen Glass pokušava shvatiti samoga sebe i svoje postupke, hvata se za svaku slamku i, za divno čudo, ponekad uspijeva i isplivati. I što smo na kraju dobili? Roman-svjedočanstvo koji nam može mnogo reći ne samo o novinarstvu nego i o obitelji, prijateljstvu, ljubavi, o nemogućem koje se na kraju ostvari, o stvarnosti i mašti – doista provokativna kombinacija. Toliko provokativna da je poslužila i kao predložak za filmsku verziju pod naslovom Lažljivi Glass.
