Papillon
Condemned for a murder he had not committed, Henri Charriere (nicknamed Papillon) was sent to the penal colony of French Guiana. Forty-two days after his arrival he made his first break, travelling a thousand gruelling miles in an open boat. Recaptured, he suffered a solitary confinement and was sent eventually to Devil's Island, a hell-hole of disease and brutality. No one had ever escaped from this notorious prison - no one until Papillon took to the shark-infested sea supported only by a makeshift coconut-sack raft. In thirteen years he made nine daring escapes, living through many fantastic adventures while on the run - including a sojourn with South American Indians whose women Papillon found welcomely free of European restraints... Papillon is filled with tension, adventure and high excitement. It is also one of the most vivid stories of human endurance ever written. Henri Charriere died in 1973 at the age of 66. Author Biography: Patrick O'Brian was one of our greatest contemporary novelists. He is the author of the acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin tales and the biographer of Joseph Banks and Picasso. He lived for many years in south west France and he died in Dublin in January 2000.

Spymaster
The dramatic story of a man who stood at the center of British intelligence operations, the ultimate spymaster of World War II: Thomas Kendrick
Thomas Kendrick (1881–1972) was central to the British Secret Service from its beginnings through to the Second World War. Under the guise of “British Passport Officer,” he ran spy networks across Europe, facilitated the escape of Austrian Jews, and later went on to set up the “M Room,” a listening operation which elicited information of the same significance and scope as Bletchley Park. Yet the work of Kendrick, and its full significance, remained largely unknown.
Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell the story of this remarkable British intelligence officer. Kendrick’s life sheds light on the development of MI6 itself?he was one of the few men to serve Britain across three wars, two of which while working for the British Secret Service. Fry explores the private and public sides of Kendrick, revealing him to be the epitome of the “English gent”?easily able to charm those around him and scrupulously secretive.

Blue Machine
All of the Earth's ocean, from the equator to the poles, is a single engine powered by sunlight - a blue machine.
Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. Not the fish or the dolphins, but the massive ocean engine itself: what it does, why it works, and the many ways it has influenced animals, weather and human history & culture.
In a book that will recalibrate our view of this defining feature of our planet, physicist Helen Czerski dives deep to illuminate the murky depths of the ocean engine, examining the messengers, passengers and voyagers that live in it, travel over it, and survive because of it. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years, she explains the vast currents, invisible ocean walls and underwater waterfalls that all have their place in the ocean's complex, interlinked system.
Timely, elegant and passionately argued, Blue Machine presents a fresh perspective on what it means to be a citizen of an ocean planet. The understanding it offers is crucial to our future. Drawing on years of experience at the forefront of marine science, Helen Czerski captures the magnitude and subtlety of Earth's defining feature, showing us the thrilling extent to which we are at the mercy of this great engine.
Waiting to Be Arrested at Night
A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide
One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale. The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century, amplified by China's establishment of an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state. Over a million people have vanished into China's internment camps for Muslim minorities.
Tahir, a prominent poet and intellectual, had been no stranger to persecution. After he attempted to travel abroad in 1996, police tortured him until he confessed to fabricated charges and sent him to a re-education through labour camp. But even having endured three years in the camp, he could never have predicted the Chinese government's radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later. When he noticed that the park near his home was nearly empty because so many neighbours had been arrested, he knew the police would be coming for him any day. It soon became clear to Tahir and his wife that fleeing the country was the family's only hope.
Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil's homeland. Among leading Uyghur intellectuals and writers, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began. His book is a call for the world to awaken to the unfolding catastrophe, and a tribute to his friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced.

Very Bad People
"Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth." - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond
Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them.
VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle.
As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes.
Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

Gyilkos nap
Los Angelesben, a japán érdekeltségű Nakamoto toronyház megnyitóünnepélyén egy fiatal amerikai nő holttestére bukkannak. A helyi hatóság Peter Smith hadnagy és a japán kultúrában jártas Connor kapitány vezényletével elkezdi az ügy kivizsgálását, azonban a japánok minden rendelkezésükre álló eszközzel - beleértve a kor legmodernebb technológiai vívmányait is - hátráltatják a nyomozás menetét.
Michael Crichton ezúttal az üzleti élet, valamint a Japán és Amerika között feszülő, a két nemzet gondolkodásmódjából és üzletpolitikájából fakadó ellentétek sötét útvesztőibe kalauzolja olvasóit, ahol szó szerint kell érteni a japán mondást, miszerint: "Az üzlet - háború."
A Jurassic Park, Az Androméda-törzs, A gömb és a Zaklatás szerzőjének izgalmas regényéből 1993-ban Sean Connery és Wesley Snipes főszereplésével készült film azonos címmel.

A 13. harcos
Krisztus után 922-ben a fiatal arab nemes, Ibn Fadlan, a kalifa követe a Volgánál a vikingek egyik törzsének kalandozó harcosaival találkozik. Vezérükhöz, Buliwyfhez hírnök érkezik szülőföldjéről, segítséget kérve: népét a fekete köd sötét szörnyetegei támadták meg. Tizenkét harcos jelentkezik önként a félelmes küldetésre, ám a viking hagyomány miatt magukkal kell vinniük egy tizenharmadik idegent. Így történik, hogy - kényszerűen - Ibn Fadlan is útnak indul Északra a zabolátlan, vad hajósok társaként, hogy szembenézzen azzal az rejtélyes, ősi ellenséggel, amelytől még ezek a rettenthetetlen harcosok is félnek.
A Jurassic Park, Az Androméda-törzs, A gömb és a Zaklatás szerzőjének hátborzongató regényéből 1999-ben Antonio Banderas főszereplésével készült film azonos címmel.
Michael Crichton (1942-2008) regényei éveken át az eladási listák élén tanyáztak, és a hollywoodi stúdiók sorban készítették ezekből a kasszasikereket a legnagyobb sztárok főszereplésével. 1994 decemberében munkái egyszerre vezették az Egyesült Államokban a mozis (Zaklatás) és a televíziós (Vészhelyzet 1. epizód) nézettségi és a könyveladási (Zaklatás) listákat.
