And yet, many bodies remained administered on an all-Ireland basis. The major religions remained all-...

When Morgan realizes that a stowaway will give birth to his child in the frozen wilderness, he finds new clarity and courage to lead his men across a bleak expanse as shifting, stubborn, and treacherous as human nature itself.

Today's world is in flux. Competition between the great powers is back on the agenda and governments around the world are turning to secret statecraft and the hidden hand to navigate these uncertain waters. From poisonings to electoral interference, subversion to cyber sabotage, states increasingly operate in the shadows, while social media has created new avenues for disinformation on a mass scale. This is covert action: perhaps the most sensitive—and controversial—of all state activity.

Primi anni Cinquanta. John Grady Cole e Billy Parham lavorano in un ranch fra il Texas e il Messico. Insieme allevano cavalli, ascoltano sotto le stelle i racconti dei vecchi cowboy, si divertono al bar o al bordello. E al bordello John Grady incontra una sedicenne così bella da cambiargli la vita. Così contesa da costringerlo a scontrarsi con il protettore-filosofo Eduardo, in un duello allo stesso tempo epico e metafisico.

Mississippi, 1980. Bjærgningsdykkeren Bobby Western lyner sin våddragt for at dykke ned i mørket. Her finder han et fly med ni kroppe, der stadig er spændt fast til deres sæder. Flyets sorte boks og en tiende passager mangler, men hvordan kan det lade sig gøre, når flyet er fuldstændig intakt? Bobby hvirvles ind i et mysterie, der snart bliver livsfarligt for ham, og som fører ham gennem USA's syd, fra New Orleans til Floridas kyst, alt imens han må kæmpe med sin fortids spøgelser.

En far og hans tiårige søn vandrer alene gennem et udbrændt Amerika. Intet rører sig, bortset fra asken i vinden. Det er så koldt, at sten flækker, og når sneen falder, er den grå. Deres mål er kysten, selv om de ikke aner, hvad der venter dem - om noget overhovedet. De har intet med sig, kun en pistol til at forsvare sig mod lovløse bander, det tøj, de har på, en indkøbsvogn med dåsemad - og hinanden. "VEJEN" er en intens historie om en nådesløs rejse. Den fremmaner en fremtid uden håb, hvor en far og hans søn udholder mareridtet i kraft af deres kærlighed til hinanden.

Cormac James' The Surfacing is set on board a ship in the 1850s, searching for Franklin's lost expedition. It's a challenging and dangerous endeavour in a very male world - that is until Morgan, the second-in-command of the Impetus, realises there is a pregnant stowaway on board. It is too late to turn back, the ice is closing in, and the child will have to be born into the vast and icy wilderness of the Arctic.
