Семнадцатая книга из серии о бывшем военном полицейском Джеке Ричере, сиквел романов "Джек Ричер, или 61 час" и "Джек Ричер, или Это стоит смерти" • Разобравшись с очередным смертельно опасным делом, Джек Ричер твердо решил добраться до Вирджинии и наконец познакомиться с женщиной, которую так часто слышал по телефону, но никогда не видел. Как обычно, передвигаться по стране он предпочел на попутном транспорте. Ждать пришлось долго - никто не хотел пускать в свой автомобиль огромного громилу подозрительного вида. Наконец какие-то люди - двое мужчин и женщина - согласились подвезти его, причем чуть ли не до места назначения. Но через некоторое время Ричер начал понимать: эти люди вовсе не "какие-то"

The radio war of 1939-45 is one of the great scientific battles in history • This is the story of that war • Relying on first-hand accounts as well as papers recently released by the Admiralty, The Battle of the Beams fills a huge missing piece in the canon of WW2 literature • It combines history, science, derring do and dogged determination and will appeal as much to fans of WW2 history as to those fascinated by the science behind the beams that changed our lives • The British believed that, through ingenuity and scientific prowess, they alone have a war-winning weapon: radar. They are wrong. The Germans have it too • They believe that their unique maritime history means their pilots have no need of navigational aids. Flying above the clouds they, like the seafarers of old, had the stars to guide them, and that is all that is required

The Terracotta Army is one of the greatest, and most famous, archaeological discoveries of all time. 6,000 life-size figures of warriors and horses were interred in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of China - each is individually carved, and they are thought to represent real members of the emperor's army. This is the remarkable story of their creation, the man who ordered them made, their rediscovery and their continuing legacy as a pre-eminent symbol of Chinese greatness • The First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, was king of the Chinese state of Qin and the first man to unite China into a single empire. He built the first Great Wall and brought a single written script to the whole country. He was an inspired and ruthless ruler, but one also beset by paranoia and a desire for immortality
