The Diverging Lives of Bethany Raven
Physics genius Bethany Raven must find her way back to her own reality with the help of her annoyingly attractive nemesis, in this warm, funny multiverse rom-com, perfect for fans of IMPOSSIBLE by Sarah Lotz and THE HUSBANDS by Holly Gramazio! 'Really, really good … It’s such a great idea and I’m so jealous she came up with it because I wish I’d written this book. It’s so good!’ LUCY VINE 'Smart, lively and bursting with delicious ingenuity’ JANICE HALLETT Just when she thought she had everything figured out… Waking after a career-defining breakthrough, physics genius Bethany Raven expects to find her multiverse theorem written in the notebook by her bed. Instead the pages are blank … and her new flip-flops are white rather than the beige she remembers buying with her sister, Cesca. At first she shrugs it off, but then certified lazy-girl Cesca calls from the gym at 7 a.m. and Bethany can’t deny something is seriously wrong. She’s skipping through alternate universes trying on other Bethanys’ lives, other Bethanys’ increasingly diverging lives. And with each skip her relationship with Cesca becomes more and more distant. Desperate to find a way home to her own world and her own Cesca, she’s forced to seek out the only person who might be able to help. Shame he’s her bitter rival – the cocky-as-all-hell darling of the physics world, Tyler Adams. But when Tyler turns out to be very different to the man she thought she hated, Bethany discovers that working with him to get back to her reality might not be all bad … Perfect for fans of: ?🔥 Infuriatingly attractive arch nemesis 🌎 Accidental multiverse shenanigans 👩?👨 Enemies-to-lovers 🔬 Genius women in STEM 👯?

Archangel's Eternity
THE STUNNING CONCLUSION TO THE GUILD HUNTER SERIES BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR NALINI SINGHElena and Raphael return for the hauntingly poignant conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh's genre-defining Guild Hunter series. A thousand years. It's been a millennium since Elena's fateful first meeting with Archangel Raphael. She has survived war and loss, experienced beauty and cruelty. But no matter what, she has always held on to her mortal heart, as she and Raphael have held on to each other. Passionate and vibrant, they've built a life that has stood the test of time, growing ever stronger with each turn of the sun. But change is coming-of a magnitude they could have never imagined-and it will forever alter the trajectory of their existence. Even as they grapple with the cataclysmic shift in their personal lives, the Cadre of Ten, which has maintained a hard-won peace for centuries, begins to simmer with dangerous fault lines. The spectre of madness looms in one archangel, the promise of war burns between two others, and in darkness far from mortal and immortal eyes stirs an ancient, slumbering power. Suddenly, the future is terrifyingly uncertain . . . at the very moment that Elena and her archangel need to protect a treasure infinitely more precious than eternity. ****READERS LOVE NALINI SINGH'Nalini Singh masterfully blends action, suspense, and character development, creating a riveting story that keeps readers engaged until the very end' ?'Any book from the Guild Hunter series is an auto-buy!' ?'Sweet, hearth warming, gut twisting, funny and very romantic with just enough action and intrigue. Loved every minute!' ?'The series gets better and better. Nalini is an amazing author. With an unmatched imagination that drags you into every book' ?
Governing the Future
A logistics manager in Dubai reroutes ships through an AI-powered trade platform. A policymaker in Riyadh uses an AI-powered model of the national economy to test how fiscal choices affect growth, spending, and debt. A graduate in Astana is turning to an algorithmic jobs accelerator to find her path in global markets. Across economies and institutions, artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of decision-making, governance, and value creation. It marks the dawn of a new economic era that is powered by intelligence, driven by insight, and grounded in inclusion. AI Economics is where this transformation takes shape. It represents the fusion of data, technology, and policy into a living system of governance that anticipates shocks, adapts in real time, and empowers people through knowledge and inclusion. This timely book explores how nations can navigate this transformation through ten defining policy questions that range from redesigning labour markets to rethinking trade, fiscal policy, and institutional trust. Each question translates the promise of artificial intelligence into a practical pathway toward a more resilient, adaptive, and participatory governance, where data becomes foresight and foresight becomes action. AI Economics is not about replacing human judgment. It is about reimagining how intelligence, in all its forms, can serve society with precision and purpose. Provocative, precise and visionary, Governing the Future challenges policymakers, economists and citizens alike to rethink how nations govern in the new age of artificial intelligence.

Voices of Victory
Discover the forgotten story of Britain’s final bloody battles against Nazi Germany in this Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Based on audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, Voices of Victory is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War by the bestselling author of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their final test: the battle for the German homeland. Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums and other personal accounts, military historian Geraint Jones brings this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler’s fanatics for the first time.

At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the concentration camp is liberated, hear from the witnesses of the forgotten battles of April, and end the war deep in Germany, with victory in Europe. ‘Enthralling and enlightening . . .

Tank
'Punchy. Trenchant. Heavyweight. Mark Urban’s Tank blows the doors off, just as you’d expect from such an accomplished author. Take cover!’ Damien Lewis, author of SAS Great EscapesAn authoritative history of the tank and the remarkable individuals who designed them and fought in them, from a former officer and best-selling historianTanks are the ultimate embodiment of industrial age warfare. In the popular imagination, they represent both a terrifying beast of destruction and a potent symbol of liberation. The technology behind these war machines has evolved relentlessly, and yet the coming of the information age has led many to predict that drones, missiles, and Artificial Intelligence have made the tank obsolete. Time and again, however, tanks have continued to shape – and be shaped by -- battles around the world, from their introduction in 1916, through the Second World War and tank-on-tank fights in 1990s Iraq, to the current conflict in Ukraine. In TANK, best-selling historian and former officer in the Royal Tank Regiment Mark Urban draws on wide-ranging accounts from soldiers, designers, and politicians, from Winston Churchill to Volodymyr Zelensky, to tell the remarkable story of one of the most important developments in military history. Through the ten most important vehicles ever made, Urban chronicles the incredible advances in tank technology – starting with the Mark IV, the first British tank to be used in large numbers in WW1, and following the story through the T-34 and Tiger to the M1 Abrams, a product of huge American Cold War investment that is still used to this day. Officially supported by The Tank Museum and using never-before-seen archival sources, interviews and declassified documents, this is a fascinating history of the vehicle that changed conflict forever. ‘An illuminating and exciting drive through the mud and blood of twentieth-century warfare' Dr Robert Lyman, author of Operation Suicide
