Divné údolí – Frána Jan (2023)

*** Strange Valley *** A well-known group, a completely different story. Instead of the author's usual detective novels, you have in your hands a novella, a bit of sci-fi, perhaps even a mysterious novel. The plot takes place before the detective cases. The group of campers you know from previous books is just forming, searching for a place for their settlement in the valley around the Sobotnice stream. One day, they walk into the valley through an extraordinarily thick fog and discover a strange world full of mysteries beyond it. Rightfully, they name the valley Strange. They encounter a series of experiences so peculiar that they initially cannot believe them. They have unexpected meetings, realize that our world has two sides to the coin, and ultimately come to the understanding that this valley prefers it when the world is in order. *** In the Same River *** The continuation of Strange Valley. When the fog disappears at the end of the first story and the valley loses its strange properties, our heroes struggle to come to terms with it. Until one of them gets an idea on how to re-enter the same river, which Greek philosophers already knew was not quite possible. The result is the realization that Strange Valley is even stranger, that it is not alone, and that a coin can have three sides…
