Teacher Jasmine Regis' world is turned upside down when an alien race attacks and devastates the Earth. The Jinx - named by soldiers who find that Human technology fails during attacks - are a race of savage warriors from elsewhere. They have one agenda: take the women and kill any male who stands in their way. After saving Andrew, one of the children in her care, Jas has to find refuge in the remnants of the world she once knew. Humanity has almost been wiped out, and those who remain cannot always be trusted: some are feral, displaying savage and monstrous qualities, while others harbour brutal obsessions. As the world changes around her, Jas soon learns she must disguise who and what she is in order to remain safe. But how can she so effectively turn from male to female? And what dark secret is being kept by the remaining military hiding in their underground base?

Przełomowy paradygmat przywództwa, relacji i życia możliwością Nieskończone
możliwości przedstawiają zestaw praktyk kreatywności, które można zastosować
we wszystkich obszarach aktywności ludzkiej. Książka, przesycona energią
dynamicznego partnerstwa autorów, łączy niezwykły talent Bena – człowieka,
który potrafi poruszać i wstrząsać, uczyć i porozumiewać się, z geniuszem
Rosamund Stone Zander – twórczyni innowacyjnych paradygmatów osobistego i
zawodowego spełnienia. W żywym kontrapunkcie oboje uświadamiają nam głęboki
sens potężnej roli, jaką pojęcie możliwości może odgrywać w każdym aspekcie
naszego życia. Zanderowie opierają się na dwóch założeniach: że życie jest
skomponowane jak opowiadanie i że dzięki nowym definicjom możliwe staje się o
wiele więcej, niż ludzie zwykle sobie wyobrażają. Ich książka zmienia nasz
punkt widzenia za pomocą podnoszących na duchu historii, paraboli i anegdot
związanych z osobistymi doświadczeniami autorów oraz tych pochodzących z życia
znanych i nieznanych bohaterów. Ben dowodzi, że siła lidera, podobnie jak
dyrygenta, zależy od tego, ile wielkości chce przekazać innym. Każda
proponowana przez autorów praktyka może być punktem wyjścia do transformacji
siebie i swojej organizacji. Nieskończone możliwości przedstawiają metodę
realizowania wielkich i małych marzeń, która może zmienić życie. Zanderowie
zachęcają nas, abyśmy opanowali sztukę komunikacji, przewodzenia i działania
tak dalece, by nasze życie promieniowało możliwością i przepełniało nią
otaczający świat. „Jest to praca mądra, podnosząca na duchu i ważna – idealne
po-łączenie intuicji i inspiracji, osobistych przemyśleń i historii
zaczerpniętych ze świata sztuki, psychologii, gospodarki i polityki. Ben i Roz
Zanderowie tworzą niezwykły zespół – ich energia, pasja i zaangażowanie na
rzecz humanistycznych wartości są absolutnie zaraźliwe”. — Doris Kearns
Goodwin, historyczka, laureatka Nagrody Pulitzera za książkę No Ordinary Time:

Zander prowadzi warsztaty poświęcone sztuce możliwości, zajmuje się terapią
rodziny oraz maluje pejzaże. Benjamin Zander jest dyrygentem Bostońskiej

wykłady dla menedżerów i szefów firm na całym świecie.
