Panzer I vs T-26
This fully illustrated study pits Germany’s Panzer I against the Soviet T-26 in the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, as Spain descended into civil war, both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union sent tanks to aid the opposing sides, keen to see how they fared in combat. Armed with twin machine guns, Germany’s Panzer I fought alongside Nationalist troops, while the 45mm-armed Soviet T-26 took the field with Republican forces, with captured examples soon equipping the Nationalists. In this book, Jacek Zabielski reveals the origins, development and combat history of these two types, which remained in front-line service in 1941 as Hitler’s forces invaded the Soviet Union. While both types were soon outclassed by better-armed and -armoured successors, the lessons learned in Spain would shape German and Soviet combined-arms doctrine on the Eastern Front during and after Operation Barbarossa. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, full-colour mapping and archive photographs alongside the authoritative text, this study reveals how the Panzer I and T-26 performed in battle, and their technical and tactical influence throughout World War II.
Are You a Running W*nker?
The most honest, outrageous and joyous running book you'll read… Alison Stankard is a Running Wanker. But it didn’t happen overnight. A few morning stumbles around the block in a bid to become pert-bottomed somehow turned into something else: 5ks, 10ks, marathons and even ultra marathons. Then one day, whilst looking at her lack of toenails, embarrassingly large collection of training shoes and buffs, it dawned on her: she had become a Running Wanker. Some people can go out for an occasional run and not obsess over every little detail. They might not think to take a photo of their hill sprints to post on social media or be able to recite their splits from the race that got them a PB to anybody who’ll listen. All impossible if you’re a true Running W*nker. There are a lot of books about running. Serious books with marathon plans, advice on nutrition and injury prevention. This book isn’t that. It’s a sweary, honest celebration of all the things that Running W*nkers new and old get up to: sh*tting in bushes, going down the stairs on your arse because your legs won’t bend the day after a marathon, lying about how much trainers cost and plotting how to rig the London Marathon ballot. The question is: are you a Running W*nker too?

Private Inquiries
‘Private Inquiries is a must-read – a riveting mythbuster, with its revelations of the real histories of women PIs.’ – Val McDermidThe female private detective has been a staple of popular culture for over 150 years, from Victorian lady sleuths to ‘busy-body spinsters’ and gun-toting modern PIs. But what about the real-life women behind these fictional tales? Dismissed as ‘Mrs Sherlock Holmes’ or amateurish Miss Marples, mocked as private dicks or honey trappers, they have been investigating crime since the mid-nineteenth century – everything from theft and fraud to romance scams and murder. In Private Inquiries, Caitlin Davies traces the history of the UK’s female investigators, uncovering the truth about their lives and careers from the 1850s to the present day. Women like Victorian private inquiry agent Antonia Moser, the first woman to open her own agency; Annette Kerner, who ran the Mayfair Detective Agency on Baker Street in the 1940s; and Liverpool sleuth Zena Scott-Archer, who became the first woman president of the World Association of Detectives. Caitlin also follows in the footsteps of her subjects, undertaking a professional qualification to become a Private Investigator, and meeting modern PIs to find out the reality behind the fictional image. Female investigators are on the rise in the UK – and despite the industry’s sleazy reputation, nearly a third of new trainees are women. After a century of undercover work, it’s time to reveal the secrets of their trailblazing forebears.
I, Vera
'Vera Gedroits was a true medical heroine: outrageous, intrepid and devoted to saving lives. Miranda Seymour’s genius as a story teller brings this astonishing woman blazing back to life. I shall never forget her' LADY ANTONIA FRASER 'Miranda Seymour has written a wonderful and unputdownable book about an astonishing woman' MEL GIEDROYC Vera Gedroits was a towering, sweet-faced lesbian princess, an ardent supporter of workers’ rights who regularly performed true medical miracles of surgery. On one occasion, she even frogmarched an inquisitive Rasputin out of a ward for wounded officers. While working for César Roux at the world’s best known medical institute in Lausanne, Vera became the world’s first woman surgeon. Off the back of this, she was appointed by the doomed Tsarina to teach the women of the Romanov family how to be nurses. In 1919, Vera was sent to Kyiv, where her hospital reforms, innovative work and academic papers crowned an extraordinary career. During the troubled 1920s, in times of extreme danger, she completed a remarkable series of memoirs. The princess-surgeon’s prose, including a startling candid account of her early years as a revolutionary factory doctor, has been compared to that of Pasternak. Some years later, Vera and her widowed lover Countess Maria Nirod were seized in the middle of the night and taken away at gunpoint during the Soviet purge of scientific intellectuals. Their whereabouts for the next few months were never disclosed. Vera’s pension was cancelled. The hospital and institute were closed. Living in extreme poverty, Vera died two years later of uterine cancer. She was just 61. The princess’s name was removed from official Soviet medical records; her tremendous contribution to medicine and the radical improvements to wartime surgery she pioneered as the first female battlefield surgeon have remained unacknowledged to this day. Now, Miranda Seymour uncovers the riveting story of a daring and brilliant woman who chose to make Ukraine her homeland, someone adored by her friends and patients and whose achievements as an administrator and bold reformer invite comparisons to Florence Nightingale. ‘The extraordinary story of an extraordinary woman, whose unprecedented career as a surgeon, and also as a writer, made her a participant in every aspect of late Tsarist and early Soviet history, and at every level of Russian society … Miranda Seymour tells her story with compelling passion and the most extraordinarily wide understanding of the history and politics, the medicine and literature of the times. A remarkable book’ MICHAEL FRAYN

Written on the Dark
'Kay is a genius. I've read him all my life and am always inspired by his work' BRANDON SANDERSONA sweeping new novel of love and war that brilliantly evokes the drama and turbulence of medieval France from the internationally bestselling author of Tigana, All the Seas of the World, and A Brightness Long Ago. Thierry Villar is a well-known - even notorious - tavern poet, intimately familiar with the rogues and shadows of that world, but not at all with courts and power. He is an unlikely person, despite his quickness, to be swept into the deadly contests of ambitious royals, assassins, and invading armies. But he is indeed drawn into all these things on a savagely cold night in his beloved city of Orane. And so Thierry must use all the intelligence and charm he can muster as power struggles merge with a decades-long war to bring his country to the brink of destruction. As he does, he meets his poetic equal in an aristocratic woman and is drawn to more than one unsettling person with a connection to the world beyond this one. He also crosses paths with an extraordinary young woman driven by voices within to try to heal the ailing king - and help his forces in war. A wide and varied set of people from all walks of life take their places in the rich tapestry of this story. Both sweeping and intimate, Written on the Dark is an elegant tour de force about power and ambition playing out amid the equally intense human need for art and beauty, and memories to be left behind. PRAISE FOR GUY GAVRIEL KAY'S NOVELS'Tragic, stirring, romantic, meticulous, comic, rueful, worldly-wise, and written in the intimate, deceptively nonchalant voice of a storyteller offering up his great gift' MICHAEL CHABON'Kay is a genius. I've read him all my life and am always inspired by his work' BRANDON SANDERSON'A wonderful talent. He tells stories in an invented world that is so rich in historical echoes that I found myself smiling with pleasure as I heard the echoes, while engrossed in the story. Warmly recommended' EDWARD RUTHERFORD'History and fantasy rarely come together as gracefully or readably as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay' THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD'By making the familiar ever so slightly strange, Guy Gavriel Kay breathes new life into historical fantasy. Beautifully faceted, jewel-like scenes carry us beyond the doublets and daggers to create an emotionally charged, high-stakes world of love and hate, threat and reward' DAILY MAIL'An immersive reading experience; readers will taste the dust in their mouths, see the high seas from the deck of a merchant ship, feel the bustle of the city market. What results is necessary sustenance for the starving reader. A masterpiece from a master of the craft' BOOKLIST'Gorgeous, generous, humane and deeply aware of the intricacies of human desire and attachment, All the Seas of the World is another masterpiece from Kay' JAMES BRADLEY'I came away from it with spirits lifted and a smile on my face, whilst feeling a wistful sense of regret that the reading experience was over. You can't ask more from a book than that' PARSEC
Posledný úsvit
Jedno leto. Jedno zničujúce tajomstvo. A láska, ktorá všetko zmení.
Prehnaná starostlivosť matky a vážne zdravotné problémy vytvárajú v dvadsaťtriročnej Oriah Perovej pocit uväznenia. Keď jej matka dostane prácu na Malorke, Oriah vycíti, že toto leto by mohlo byť začiatkom jej vlastného príbehu o dospievaní. Počas svojej prvej malej rebélie sa vyberie sama na pláž, kde stretne charizmatického Španiela Juliána. V jeho prítomnosti sa cíti ešte naivnejšie a neskúsenejšie než zvyčajne, ale rastúca príťažlivosť v nej čoskoro prebudí dávno potlačenú životnú energiu.
Julian postupne vťahuje Oriah do dobrodružstiev, po ktorých vždy túžila. No tajomstvo, ktoré si mladá žena stráži hlboko v srdci a jej blížiaci sa návrat do Ameriky vrhajú tieň na ich spoločne strávené chvíle. Oriah sa musí rozhodnúť: má dosť odvahy, aby konečne nasledovala svoje srdce a začala žiť pre seba?
Bourbon a lži
V kentuckom meste Fiasco existuje len jedno pravidlo: Nikdy sa nezamiluj do niektorého z bratov Foxxovcov.
Každá žena, ktorá ho neposlúchla, na to doplatila – aspoň tak sa povráva. Miestni to nazývajú kliatbou. Lenže ja som ju pocítil na vlastnej koži. A druhý raz by som to neprežil.
Už nie som policajt, no zažil som dosť nebezpečenstva na to, aby som vedel, že Laney Youngová, krásna cudzinka, ktorá sa zjavila v mojom mestečku, pred ním uteká. Klam? o tom, odkiaľ prišla aj čo tu robí.
Nechcem, aby sa motala okolo mojej rodiny ani narúšala tichý život, čo som si tu vybudoval. Lenže moji bratia majú iné plány.
Teraz ju vídam všade – pracuje v mojom liehovare, býva v našom hosťovskom dome, volá ma „kovboj“ a nahá sa kúpe v mojom napájadle pre kone.
Lenže vďaka jej podrezanému jazyku začínam túžiť po veciach, ktorých som sa zriekol už dávno. Mal by som sa jej vyhýbať, zabudnúť na to, ako chutia jej krásne pery, a ignorovať, že vďaka nej opäť po niečom túžim.
Keď sa do mesta prihrnie jej minulosť a zapletie sa s mojou, jej lži sa začnú odhaľovať. Na pravidlách už nezáleží. Pokašľal som to, priveľmi sa v tom vŕtala a nechal ju, aby sa mi dostala pod kožu.
Teraz ju udržia nažive len dve veci: BOURBON A LŽI
Plavkyňa
DÍVAJ SA LEPŠIE
Spoločensky neobratná Chloe Cooperová trávi čas venčením psov, prácou za barovým pultom, starostlivosťou o svoju chorú matku a z bezpečnej vzdialenosti aj pozorovaním ľudí, pričom si vymýšľa príbehy o ich životoch. Zaujmú ju tiež jej noví susedia: známa influencerka Jemma Spenglerová a jej manžel Adam, renomovaný chirurg. Sú atraktívni, bohatí a ich dom s veľkými oknami bez žalúzií je pre ňu priam neodolateľným lákadlom.
Sťahovanie na severozápad Pacifiku má byť pre Jemmu a Adama novým začiatkom, obnoveným záväzkom manželstva, ktoré narušili problémy a tajomstvá. Šancou vyrovnať sa s tragickými stratami z minulosti. Jemme však tento nový začiatok prináša aj znepokojivý pocit, že ju niekto sleduje.
V jedno hmlisté ráno na pláži sa Chloe stane svedkom vraždy plavkyne. Skrsne v nej podozrenie a na svojich susedov sa začína pozerať v novom, oveľa temnejšom svetle. No keď sa prípadu chopí detektívka a jej kolega, ukáže sa, že nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Pretože nielen Spenglerovci skrývajú tajomstvá. A nielen Chloe niekoho pozoruje.

Csipke és kard - Csábító intrikák 1.
A báj a legerősebb fegyverük, a ravaszság a csalhatatlan szövetségesük.
Senki és semmi nem állíthatja meg Medici Katalin udvarhölgyeit.
Fényűzés és nyomor, katolikusok és hugenották, elegáns hölgyek és durva katonák kavargó egyvelege jellemzi a reneszánsz Párizst. Medici Katalin kénytelen a csodálatos Diane de Poitiers-vel osztozni a férjén, II. Henriken, dúl a Habsburgok ellen vívott itáliai háború, és egyre nő a reformáltak száma. Amikor Nostradamus kissé homályos jóslatával előrevetíti a király halálát, Medici Katalin az egyetlen, aki komolyan veszi. A tragédia bekövetkezte után a kétségbeesett királyné összegyűjti legravaszabb és legérzékibb udvarhölgyeit, hogy segítsék kézre keríteni férje gyilkosát.
Olyan nőket gyűjt egybe, akik nem félnek akár a testüket is bevetni a cél érdekében...
Muriel Romana nagy ívű történelmi tetralógiájának, A fűzők és páncélok sorozatnak első része, a Csipke és kard izgalmas és érzéki utazásra invitál bennünket a hatalmi játszmákkal és ármánykodással átszőtt 16. századi francia udvarba.
,,- Hallgatom, gyermekem.
Louise összekulcsolta a kezét, és felnézett rá.
- A paráznaság bűnébe estem Montgomery gróffal, eminenciás uram.
- Élvezetét lelte benne, gyermekem?
A nő az alsó ajkába harapott, mint egy vétket elkövetett kislány.
- Nem, mert önre gondoltam közben, eminenciás uram.
- Rám?! - kérdezte csodálkozva a bíboros.
- Igen! - Louise könyörgő pillantással nézett fel rá. - Csak a szépsége járt a fejemben... a jósága, amelytől átszellemül az arca, eminenciás uram.
- Ez bizony bűnnek hangzik, gyermekem.
A nő megragadta a csuklóját, és lázasan megcsókolta a kezét.
- Megvallom, elkövettem ezt a bűnt, eminenciás uram, és egyetlen pillanatot sem tudnék már elviselni, ha nem kapok feloldozást öntől.
Louise nem értette, hogyan képes továbbra is mosolyogni annak ellenére, hogy az undortól hányinger kerülgette. A teste magától cselekedett, az elméje pedig távolról figyelte ezt.
- Könyörgök, eminenciás uram!
A bíboros csillogó szemmel megsimogatta a haját.
- Olyan feloldozást kap tőlem, amelyet nem egyhamar fog elfelejteni..."
Láska s vůní cappuccina
Lence je přes padesát a má jeden zásadní problém: svého manžela už nemůže ani cítit. Rozvod je tedy logickým koncem – nebo možná začátkem. Jenže zatímco si představovala klidný život, realita jí připraví úplně jinou sérii lekcí: stárnoucí matku potřebující péči, bolestivé běhání, pohledného bývalého spolužáka Radka, příliš moderní snachu… a Honzu, který jí obrátí svět naruby. Ukáže se, že nový život nezačíná tehdy, když člověk podepíše rozvodové papíry, ale až když se přestane bát. Lenka zjišťuje, že život po padesátce není poslední kapitolou, ale spíš jen novou startovní čárou. A někdy stojí za to rozběhnout se, i když nohy protestují.
