Grace and Glory - Kegyelem és dicsőség - Az Előhírnök-trilógia 3.
Veszély, árulás és csábító, tiltott szerelem…
Trinity Marrow elveszítette a csatát – és szeretett védelmezőjét is. Hiába állnak mellette a démonok és az őrzők, úgy tűnik, Trin mégsem tudja megnyerni a háborút az Előhírnök ellen.
Visszahozni Lucifert a világba, hogy szembeszálljon az Előhírnökkel, finoman szólva is rossz ötlet. Csakhogy elfogytak a lehetőségek, és a bukott angyalok ura az egyetlen lény, akinek ereje valóban képes befolyásolni a végjátékot.
Miközben Trin és Zayne között új, még szorosabb kötelék szövődik, és Lucifer a poklot szabadítja a földre, az apokalipszis karnyújtásnyira kerül, a világ pedig az örökkévalóság peremén egyensúlyoz. Mi lesz a vége: győzelem vagy vereség? Egy dolog biztos: semmi sem marad a régi.

1942
A unique history of the Axis powers attempt to win the Second World War in 1942, told through the eyes of those who were there. Drawing upon sources in German, Russian, Italian, Hungarian, Romanian and English, 1942: Hitler's Gamble describes the spring and summer campaigns in the Soviet Union and Africa which crowned the Axis forces with fresh laurels. Impressive victories were won at Kharkov, Sevastopol and Tobruk. Axis powers were then on the cusp of victory in Egypt, the Caucasus and Stalingrad until the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut was brought to a halt in the autumn of 1942. Based upon 15 years of research in archives, museums and libraries across Europe, this is a unique account of this critical year in World War II. No other history has looked at the Eastern and North African theatres in conjunction, masterfully illustrating how the crushing gains on both fronts would be lost by the end of the year. Richard Hargreaves shines a light on the little studied areas of the war such as the aftermath of Tobruk and challenges traditional German-centric accounts of the Caucasus campaign. Strategy and the hubris of Hitler and his generals is brilliantly illustrated but so too are the lives and deaths of ordinary soldiers caught up in these extraordinary events.

Fantastic Kingdom
'Stimulating and insightful' JONATHAN FREEDLAND'The perfect observer of a UK in crisis' JAMES HAWESWelcome to the Kingdom of Contradictions. Global yet insular, tolerant yet suspicious, proudly pragmatic yet profoundly sentimental. The United Kingdom inspires fierce loyalty and endless argument. Ten years after Brexit, it is as divided as ever. After twenty years of studying Britain, German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. From the enduring fantasy of Britain as a self-sufficient island to the profound devotion to a global monarchy; from imperial amnesia to modern multiculturalism, she explores the paradoxes and myths that shape British identity. Clear-eyed and witty, Fantastic Kingdom is a letter from a friend, revealing why the question of what unites the country has never mattered more than now, at a time of dramatic geopolitical change when liberal democracy is under attack. Looking backwards into history, and outwards into the global context, she closes the gap between how Britain understands itself and how it is seen abroad.

41
A call for a restoration of professionalism in American government, as illustrated by the life of President George H. W. BushGeorge H. W. Bush is often regarded as the most well-prepared president ever to occupy the Oval Office. Though raised in a world of privilege, Bush was grounded in the belief that character and achievement were essential to serve the common good. In today’s political landscape, these motivations are hardly prided as hallmarks of a great leader—and our nation is experiencing the consequences of these qualities falling out of vogue. Over the course of his education, military service, business career, and decades in public life, Bush absorbed lessons from those around him, shaping a worldview rooted in service, humility, and competence. 41: George H. W. Bush and the End of the American Establishment is not only a study of what Bush learned from mentors and colleagues, but also a reflection on why experience and expertise remain vital to effective presidential leadership. “[George H. W. Bush] gets his due in this brisk, bright, insightful volume.” —Karl Rove, The Wall Street Journal “Bush’s life was defined by his character, friendships, and competitive drive to serve his country. This book explains the wellsprings of that presidential leadership.” —Robert B. Zoellick, Former Secretary of State and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Author of America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy & Foreign Policy “A timely and inspirational read.” —Jean Becker, Author of The New York Times bestseller The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush’s Post-Presidency “I thought I knew most of what there is to know about President Bush but was proved wrong in reading this book. I highly recommend it.” —David Q. Bates Jr., Former Assistant to the President and Secretary to the Cabinet “Laurence Jurdem has done a remarkable job researching and explaining the origins and influences on George Bush’s life.” —Thomas J. Collamore, Longtime aide and senior government appointee to George H.W. Bush, and currently senior advisor to the George and Barbara Bush Foundation

Amy Jordan ‘This will keep you guessing until the very end’ Prima 'Congratulations Rosa on a cracker of a debut! Wonderfully pacy, suspenseful and authentic.
