Of Rice, Love and War
Amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War, the line between loyalty and betrayal is blurred in this gripping romantic spy thriller. Amelie, a French journalist born in colonial Indochina, navigates the treacherous landscape of espionage as a communist spy working for the North Vietnamese. Under the guidance of her handler, Tran, Amelie finds herself entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse, operating between Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.

As the stakes heighten and allegiances are tested, Amelie must confront the devastating impact of violence on her life and the cost of loyalty, duty, and love. Can she survive the war, find love, and uncover the truth without losing herself in the process?
A Death in the Gym
Josh Stern has two jobs and he likes to keep them separate. A personal trainer during the day and a part-time private investigator by night. When a dead body is found in Josh’s gym, it sets off a series of seemingly unconnected events, reigniting an old case he thought he’d solved – the disappearance of a twenty-year old student more than two decades ago. As Josh is pulled into a web of deception, decades of lies surrounding a young woman’s disappearance need to be untangled, where every truth uncovered reveals a darker secret.
Humeccan
A collection of short stories exposing human nature as mechanistic. The backdrop of our evolution is first painted via a quixotic character’s mission to alert his neighbourhood to coming doom. Two stories then follow different trajectories from the same inflection point of our shifting culture. One has doom averted, another careers towards the prophesied doom. Intimate tales follow, evoking both unseemly and more humane aspects of our nature. The central story, the dark heart, turns, presenting pathological behaviours as seen from the gene’s eye view and as resulting from forces that created us to be the gene-serving ape-machines we are. Further elaborating stories lead deeper into our psychology, dissecting the assumptions we make about ourselves and others. Projections are reflected back. We are challenged to justify our beliefs, and to confront a seemingly bleak view: that of a deterministic universe in which we evolved not for our wellbeing, but to propagate immortal genes. The final story in the collection imagines a future in which an evolved culture helps us live better with our evolved natures. Mechanical devices and scientific concepts are embraced in story titles, anchoring the narratives in the mechanistic character of human nature. The natural world reverberates throughout what is, ultimately, a humane vision.
Fleeting Glory
More Battles, Boudoirs and Bedsports. In the gripping sequel to Glory Beckons, three very different men find themselves in the collapse of Napoleon’s empire. Marshal Ney, Napoleon’s famous ‘Bravest of the Brave’, at the height of his illustrious career, with a secret that could destroy the Emperor’s infallible reputation. Sir Robert Wilson, an English general and diplomat, harbouring a hatred of Bonaparte, determined to be the man who assassinates him. Michael Bruce, young hedonistic Etonian with little interest in Napoleon’s ambitions, apart from when they interrupt his travels and erotic adventures. The exciting, dangerous and intertwining lives of these three men give them ringside seats to the end of a conflict that tore Europe apart and defined the shape of the world for the next century. Opening with Napoleon’s fateful entry into Russia and his advance towards Moscow, following the famous retreat through a Russian winter, and ending in the aftermath of Waterloo, Fleeting Glory is a non-stop page turner. Its racy depiction of gory battles, immoral court life and elegant lifestyles tells what it was really like for those caught in the finale of an empire.
No. 28
Behind the elegant façade of No. 28, a Victorian terraced house in a tree-lined avenue, five women try to outrun the darkness that threatens to consume them. Cloistered in separate apartments, seeking ways to fill the hours of solitude, their privacy is assured, each woman remaining oblivious to a strange secret that binds them all. The owner of No. 28, and occupant of the attic apartment, is unravelling at an alarming rate. Her psychiatrist, an enigmatic figure coaxed out of retirement, believes he is more than qualified to take on Alana’s case. But, as the sessions with his client dive deeper, the line between memory and fantasy blurs, and he begins to question his own view of reality. Those who cross paths with the residents of No. 28 find themselves drawn into a growing maelstrom of deception and chaos. And when the storm breaks, lives will be claimed. Darkly humorous and deliciously unsettling, No. 28 is a suspense-laced study of fractured minds and fragile alliances. A cautionary tale, it explores the tapestry of invisible strands that binds the fate of unsuspecting souls, and the destructive forces unleashed when the anchoring thread snaps.
The Istanbul Connection
A disillusioned young British journalist, Harry Marks, is drawn into a covert intelligence operation in Istanbul by a charismatic agent named James. What begins as a casual friendship spirals into espionage, murder, and manipulation as Harry unknowingly becomes a pawn in a rogue Anglo-American mission to seize Saddam Hussein’s stolen wealth. Haunted, hunted, and morally compromised, Harry must choose between loyalty, survival, and the truth. The Istanbul Connection is a gripping, morally complex thriller that explores the blurred lines between ideology and manipulation.

Gamogamy: A Framework for Relational Identity
Gamogamy: Where Love Meets Identity is a groundbreaking new book that changes the way we understand love, intimacy, and connection. In a world that divides us into “monogamous” or “polyamorous,” Gamogamy offers something radically different: a model based on orientation, not behaviour. It introduces a powerful new vocabulary… monogamous, ambigamous, and multigamous, to help individuals make sense of their inner relational wiring, regardless of how they currently live or love. Whether you’ve struggled to feel at home in monogamy, found yourself thriving in open dynamics, or felt torn between loyalty and longing, Gamogamy helps explain why. It unpacks the difference between instinct and identity, behaviour and structure, and offers a compassionate lens for people whose needs don’t fit traditional moulds. With vivid examples, clear definitions, and thought-provoking insights, this book is both a personal revelation and a cultural challenge. It’s not about how to do relationships, it’s about how to understand yourself within them. Perfect for those in therapy, questioning long-term partnerships, or simply curious about how human connection really works, Gamogamy is a timely and transformative guide for anyone ready to step beyond inherited scripts and claim a relationship model that truly fits.
Encountering Baboons and Other African Stories
Set in the years between 1970 and 1982 in three newly independent countries, these stories dramatize the interactions between different cultures in the post-colonial period. The Night Watchman, based on the theme of theft, tells the tale of an Englishwoman and her husband living in West Africa, who hire a local man to guard their property and become intimately involved with the health of him and his wife. In Dealing with the Health of the People, an American Ph.D. student discovers that everything must be bartered for, from articles for daily living, to his use of local labour, to providing health care for ordinary people, as he gathers data from a West African maternal and child health clinic for his dissertation. Encountering Baboons follows a young American teaching first year science at a Southern African agricultural college as he faces wild animals; prejudiced colonial attitudes; clashes between African and Western beliefs and practices; directing a group of students in performing Shakespeare’s The Tempest; relations with three very different women; and both political and natural storms.

Queen - Rock Montreal + Live Aid 2BD (4K UHD)
Queen je britská rocková skupina, ktorú v roku 1970 založili v Londýne Freddie Mercury (spev, klavír), Brian May (gitara, vokály) a Roger Taylor (bicie, spev), neskôr sa k nim pridal John Deacon (basgitara). Ich najstaršie diela boli ovplyvnené progresívnym rockom, hard rockom a heavy metalom, ale kapela sa postupne pustila do konvenčnejšej a rádiovejšej tvorby začlenením ďalších štýlov, ako je arénový rock a pop rock. Skupina Queen je celosvetovo prítomná v populárnej kultúre už viac ako pol storočia. Odhady predaja ich platní sa pohybujú od 250 miliónov do 300 miliónov, čo z nich robí jedného z najpredávanejších hudobných umelcov na svete.V roku 1990 Queen získali Brit Award za výnimočný prínos britskej hudbe. V roku 2001 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a keďže každý člen zložil hitové single, všetci štyria boli v roku 2003 uvedení do Siene slávy skladateľov.
Queen Rock Montreal zachytáva najikonickejšiu rockovú skupinu sveta na samom vrchole svojich živých síl. Tento medzník v histórii kapely, nahraný v roku 1981 a nedávno vydaný ako rekordný digitálne zreštaurovaný IMAX koncertný film, teraz vychádza ako dvojité Blu-Ray. Queen Rock Montreal predstavuje Freddieho Mercuryho, Briana Maya, Rogera Taylora a Johna Deacona v ich najvzrušujúcejšej a najvzrušujúcejšej podobe.
