It's quite a ride' Financial Times'Echeruo proves a hypnotic, mind-bending talent in this extraordinary novel' AFUA HIRSCH'A breathtaking meditation on time and memory' STEPHEN BUOROEzeani is no ordinary child. He sees things others don't. Despite the burden of these visions, his precocious nature blossoms into genius and Ezeani grows up to be a gifted mathematician and physicist. When he leaves Nigeria and his adoring family behind to study at Cornell in the US, he remains haunted by his most persistent vision, Anyanwu, the Sun God. While Ezeani is adjusting to his new life in America, Anyanwu's presence takes on an increasingly sinister and malevolent form - and chaos reigns. It's enough to make anyone lose their grip on reality.

It ponders the big questions we all ask ourselves about the nature of time and of being - ultimately revealing the startling vulnerability of the human mind.
Overnight
There is something special about the night. For many, dusk and evening conjure thoughts of starlit skies, romance, bedtime stories and rest. For others, the small hours mean fear, vulnerability and sleeplessness. At night things go bump, the familiar world becomes mysterious and uncanny; owls and bats take wing, foxes prowl. With new material delving deeper into all things nocturnal, Overnight is a hymn to nighttime wildlife, travel, dreams and art. Along the way, Dan Richards meets a fascinating array of people who labour while the rest of us sleep, and brings their work into the light. From night terror chills to the warmth of dawn on the summer solstice, Overnight will change the way you think about the hours after dark.

Hunted by enemy forces, they must spirit both the device and its creator across the ice to safety—before rival superpowers turn the Arctic into a war zone. With the clock ticking and the temperature dropping, the fate of the free world is about to be decided at the top of the globe.
