There Will Be Headwinds
Mark Agnew was part of the first team to ever kayak the north-west passage - spending 103 days in the Arctic. The infamous route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans had defeated countless explorers for centuries, and Mark himself had failed two previous expeditions where he attempted to row across the Atlantic. Pushed to the brink, on the verge of turning his back on the adventures that had made him feel alive, he experienced a mental health crisis and almost abandoned the water forever. Charting an inspirational journey from failure to world record breaker, in There Will Be Headwinds Mark reflects on his struggles and reveals the lessons from sports psychology that allowed him to conquer his demons and achieve something truly remarkable. As well as exploring Mark rebuilding himself following his lowest ebb, this is also an astonishing story of ice, suffering and camaraderie. It's a testament to the power of teamwork, determination and ambition - and a celebration of the human spirit of adventure. AUTHOR: Mark Agnew is an adventure, journalist and motivational keynote speaker. Mark was a novice kayaker when he cast off from shore to paddle the entire Northwest Passage - 103 days later, Mark and his teammates made history as they entered the Beaufort Sea marking the other end of the Northwest Passage, setting two World Firsts in the process. He now works as a motivational keynote speaker, sharing his story and the lessons from his time in the Arctic.
Three Reasons for Revenge
An incredibly twisty, gripping crime thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat! Three gifts. Three packages arrive at three very different homes: a respected psychologist’s house, a socialite’s mansion, and a single father’s run-down apartment. The contents will tear apart the lives of their victims. One deadly game of revenge. This quickly becomes the most complex case of DS Judith Lee’s career. She’s convinced the gifts connect to a young woman who reported an assault then disappeared overnight…but how? Not everyone will survive. As Judith races to uncover the truth, she realises she's no longer just investigating – she's being forced to play a very dangerous game. A game where only the winners will survive. What readers are saying about Three Reasons for Revenge “It grabbed me from the off, held me captive throughout, delivered shocks along the way, and spat me out at the end wholly satisfied” “A real page-turner, just about impossible to put down, and undoubtedly her best yet” “Had me hooked from beginning to end, I couldn’t put it down” “Gripping, clever, and emotionally charged” “An adrenaline-fuelled thriller that grips from the outset—my heart was still racing by the final pages” “DO NOT MISS THIS BOOK!!!!!!!! This book is amazing and I stayed up till 4am to finish it!! One of the most exciting books I have devoured in a long time” “Stop what you are doing, buy this book. Forget your job. Forget your family. Forget all of your responsibilities. As matter of fact, just call in sick for about 48 hours so you can read this book and then get a shower and then re-read it for a second time. And then thank me later”
Dancefloor
From the author of Heatwave, a Waterstones Book of the MonthFrom the translator of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, Lullaby and HHhH 'The modern day successor to Francoise Sagan' Evening StandardThe Beach is the only nightclub in town, a bright yellow cuboid on the docks. For most people it is a place to drink, flirt and hook up. Most people grow out of The Beach; they leave town, have families and pursue careers. Arthur is not most people. For Arthur The Beach is a sanctuary: a place where he can go every night to express himself, a place where he can make friends, a place where he can be somebody. By day, Arthur is a loner. Shy and awkward, he fails at relationships and doesn’t even make the first rung of a career ladder. But by night, he is a star, electrifying the dancefloor and lighting up the night of those around him. But, as he nears 40, even those who work at The Beach start to worry about him. How long can he continue living the fantasy life of an adolescent? And, with nightclubs closing at an ever-increasing rate, will The Beach disappear before he is ready to leave it behin? n crystalline prose and with unmatched emotional acuity, Jestin examines the tension between society’s expectations and 21st Century realities, while introducing the world to one of literature’s great oddballs.

Hattie's down on her luck. She's collected enough enemies in high places that the only work she can find is a one-night-only vanity project being mounted by an extremely unlikely impresario, and beyond that things are looking bleak. However her career concerns must be put aside when an old friend appears, in serious trouble and asking for a big favour. Hattie tries to help, but things swiftly go awry and she finds herself thrown into a cat-and-mouse game with some very shady types who pursue her across London all the way to (where else?) backstage in the theatre on opening night.

How to Build a Spitfire
A unique homage to the fighter aircraft that won the Battle of Britain, marrying the story of how the author built a replica Spitfire in his garden with the plane's operational history. In April 2018 David Price, dedicated aviation museum volunteer and author of The Crew and Mosquito Men, decided to build a Spitfire replica in his back garden. In How to Build a Spitfire he juxtaposes the story of the ups and down of his own ambitious project to recreate an icon of British aviation with a narrative of the development of the Spitfire itself, focusing in particular on the production of the aircraft and its various component parts – including the Merlin engine. The story includes incredible testimonies from workers in the Supermarine factory in Southampton and in other Spitfire production facilities. Bringing together the sometimes light-hearted tale of a personal quest, enthusiastically pursued, with an authoritative account of the technical workings of a war-winning weapon, and the stories of the men who flew it, How to Build a Spitfire is a distinctive and affectionate homage to an enduring symbol of British engineering genius and national resilience.

Jonathan Black shows that from Marie Curie to today’s architects of AI, many of our greatest scientists have been guided by secret, mystical and ‘higher’ teachings towards an understanding of the universe familiar to the builders of the pyramids of Giza or the Temple at Jerusalem. He explores how these discoveries, foreshadowed and paralleled by geniuses including Carl Gustav Jung and Hilma af Klint, raise deep and urgent questions about our understanding of the universe. Is the material universe we perceive with our senses an illusio? s a higher intelligence directing i? re events in the future already fixe? ow does modern physics show we are all connected in ways old science said were impossibl? re different kinds of intelligence - divine and less benevolent - emerging around u? his is the science hardline atheists don’t want you to know about.

The Shapeshifter's Daughter
Nothing, on earth or below it, freezes faster than the worthless heart. Before she was a hideous monster, the queen of the underworld was simply Hel. But cast as a girl out of lofty Asgard, realm of the gods, by Odin the Allfather, Hel's fate as the terrible goddess of death is sealed. Half beauty, half crone, she has reigned for aeons in the starless darkness of Niflheim, grimly welcoming the most pitiful of death's travellers to her ice-locked prison. Until one day a memory shifts, and she is forced to seek out the sun in Midgard, where humans have made their home. Faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Helen Firth makes the impulsive decision to return to Orkney after forty years to make peace with her past. Under the wintering solstice sun, she reconnects with the ungainly but affable Thorfinn Coffin, who helps her address the real reason she has returned to the islands: to die. As Helen draws closer to death and ever closer to Thorfinn, Hel in turn is intrigued by Helen. She, too, has a past to confront and a lesson to learn: that perhaps who she thinks she is isn't who she is really meant to be. A powerful reimagining of the Norse myth of Hel, The Shapeshifter's Daughter celebrates the joy of reclaiming our stories.
