V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.

Upgrade is the mind-bending thriller from Blake Crouch, author of the bestselling Dark Matter and Recursion.
YOU ARE THE NEXT STEP IN HUMAN EVOLUTION
Logan Ramsay is beginning to see the world around him, even those he loves the most, in whole new ways. His concentration is better, he can multitask quick, read faster, memorize more and sleep deeper.
It is not natural. His genes have been hacked. He has been targeted for an upgrade.
And he knows it.
Logan has been trying to escape his family legacy for decades – and it has left him vulnerable to attack. With a terrifying plan in place to replicate his upgrade throughout the world's population, Logan may be the only person capable of protecting the bodies of earth from hijackers.
But to win this war, Logan will have to become something other than himself . . .
Intricately plotted and epic in scope, Upgrade asks us to ponder the limits of our humanity – and our boundless potential. Are you ready for the impossible?
Review
From the first page of Upgrade, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a master storyteller; Blake Crouch leads you on a rollercoaster ride in this highly original science-fiction adventure thriller, by turns mysterious, fascinating and deeply moving – exploring the very nature of what it means to be human. Spellbinding -- Alex Michaelides, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Maidens
Amazingly gripping and totally immersive. Brilliant (near-future) world-building and impeccable plot. You don’t so much sympathize with the main character as live inside his skin -- Diana Gabaldon, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series
Blake Crouch doesn’t pull any punches in this taut and evocative examination of what humanity really is – and how it fails us.

Blake Crouch has invented his own brand of page-turner – fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising, and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be -- Karin Slaughter
