Bytes and Bullets
'An obligatory read for anyone who wants to understand the new forces shaping the future.' Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author of Autocracy, Inc. and Twilight of Democracy.
'Couldn't be more timely. Mixes story-telling and analysis to illuminate the new technological arms race.' Peter Pomerantsev author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible
When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs.
In Bytes and Bullets, Steve Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war. Through captivating stories and original field research, he shows how the West's dominance is being undercut at every turn by a combination of commercialization, authoritarian convergence led by China and Russia, and the emergence of new regional powers hungry for more influence.
A new tech cold war is coming into focus fast and restrictions and sanctions are no longer enough to maintain international stability. Feldstein reports from its front line in this rich and at times alarming account of this pivotal moment in history, making an urgent call for the West to act now, or risk losing its international standing forever.

Annie 'Anh Le' Shaw has built the perfect life: a rising star in the art world, a devoted husband, a beautiful daughter. She's left her past behind-or so she thought.
When her mother, a Vietnam War refugee, dies without warning, Annie's carefully controlled world begins to unravel. The obsessive-compulsive disorder she fought so hard to overcome returns and now it's darker and more dangerous than ever.
Now her intrusive thoughts aren't just thoughts.
They're coming true.
A powerful art patron vanishes, all eyes turn to Annie and things begin to unravel fast.
She wakes up in a hotel room. A dead body beside her.
No memory of how she got there.
With suspicion closing in and her mind betraying her, Annie must piece together the truth before it destroys her. But the deeper she digs, the more she's forced to confront buried secrets about her past, her family, and the trauma she thought she'd escaped.
A gripping, twist-filled psychological thriller about obsession and the lies we tell ourselves.

So when Ted's inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle?
The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with murder.
As long as they trust each other.
And as long as there are no surprises . . .
The new twisty and playfully addictive 2026 thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling 'queen of page-turners', author of She Didn't See it Coming and The Couple Next Door.
Hekaté – A boszorkány (Az Alvilág istennői 1.)
Hekaté egy lángokban álló, háború sújtotta világba születik.
A titánok és az új istenek, az Olümposz urai készülnek a végső összecsapásra. Mivel szülei a vesztes oldalra álltak, Hekaté anyjával együtt menekülni kényszerül. Hogy megóvja lányát az őket üldöző Zeusztól és Poszeidóntól, Asztéria leszáll vele az Alvilágba, ahol Sztüx istennő és Hadész király gondjaira bízza.
Hekaté árván, magányosan, az Alvilág csodái és borzalmai között cseperedik fel, miközben kétségbeesetten kutatja isteni célját és helyét a holtak világában.
Végül felfedi valódi képességeit, és istennői rangra emelkedik, ám rá kell ébrednie, hogy még a leghatalmasabb olümposziak is rettegnek tőle. Amikor azonban egy újabb háború előszele azzal fenyeget, hogy mindent elsöpör az Olümposz hegyvonulataitól egészen az Alvilágig, a boszorkányság és a fekete mágia istennője az egyetlen, aki véget vethet a halálos küzdelemnek…
„Csodálatos! Ez a mitológia színtiszta esszenciája, ékkőként tündöklő prózába csomagolva.” – Luna McNamara, a Pszükhé és Erósz szerzője –
„Ez a vad feminizmussal átitatott újragondolása egy kevésbé ismert istennő történetének az elejétől a végéig sistereg a mágiától.” – Kirkus – Engedd, hogy Hekaté hangja vezessen végig az Alvilágon!

Swan
In the Encounters in the Wild series, renowned nature writer Jim Crumley gets up close and personal with British wildlife. With his inimitable passion and vision, he relives memorable encounters with some of our best-loved native species, offering intimate insights into their extraordinary lives. “The birches, the larches, the mountain grasses and the reed bed are all afire, sparkling after sleety rain and in fitful sunlight. It is as if nature has contrived its finest theatrical stage set and then turned up the colour. There are stags roaring, for it is the season of the red deer rut. There are golden eagles in the mountains, peregrines and ravens on nearby crags, and otters on the river. Every spring, reliably at the nesting season, the place floods spectacularly. I have come here to watch a pair of mute swans.”
Turtle Island and the Tradition of Giants
The story of giants in the Indigenous prehistory of the Americas• Covers the secret history of an ancient race of giants that inhabited the Americas long before European contact• Presents accounts of these beings from Native American sources, legends, and oral traditions, correlated with archeological reports• Examines the Smithsonian’s role in covering up records of the skeletal remains of giants in the Americas, looking particularly at John Wesley Powell and Aleš HrdlickaWriter and researcher Ross Hamilton uses Indigenous voices, beliefs, and oral traditions to reconstruct the origin and secret history of an ancient race of giants that inhabited the continent long before European contact with the Americas. Hamilton reaches deep into North American antiquity to identify a people originally from the Arctic known as the Tall Ones. These beings lived alongside the tribes of the Americas and even bred with them. As he uncovers the story, Hamilton presents the ancient Turtle Island culture of the nation of Manitouba, a once-great civilization that stretched across much of the contemporary United States and Canada and maintained an advanced system of arts and sciences before being called back to the mysterious North. Along with examining the ways in which archaeological history was suppressed by premier American institutions such as Harvard and the Smithsonian, Hamilton revisits critical primary sources, including the Lenape accounts made by early American missionary John Heckewelder. With this research and the contributions of tribal elder Vine Deloria Jr., Hamilton unpacks long-misunderstood Indigenous myths and history to reveal a time when Earth met sky and men walked with gods.

Beirut Fragments
''An impassioned cry against indifference'' - New York Times''Stunning and forensic, witnessing everyday life in the midst of siege'' Tareq Baconi, author of Fire in Every DirectionWith an introduction by susan abulhawa''Beirut was a city like any other. What happened here could, I think, happen anywhere''Jean Said Makdisi arrived in Beirut as an outsider: a Palestinian refugee who had escaped Jerusalem in 1948 and had grown up across Egypt and America. But in 1975, as Lebanon''s capital became the locus of a ferocious civil war, Jean decided to stay. As sectarian violence mounted and the city collapsed around her, she documented it all: the cars that exploded in the street; the high-rise buildings that turned to dust; the museums that became military checkpoints; the bifurcation of the city; and the brutality of the Israeli siege in 1982.Taking in the fourteen years of civil war, Makdisi lays bare the violent face of conflict, meticulously documenting its impact on every aspect of civilian life - from the fearsome whistle of shellfire, to the mundanity of queuing for food, to the constant, wandering search for lost loved ones.Intimate and profound, Beirut Fragments is a heartbreaking memoir of a city under siege and an impassioned defence of collective humanity. With vivid insight and urgency, Makdisi records civilian life brought to its limits and reconstructs the image of a place - and its people - that emerged from the ashes.
Long and Speaking Silence, A
"Nghi Vo is so good."—NPR on The Brides of High HillEvery story begins somewhere.On the banks of the Ya-lé River, the town of Luntien gathers to celebrate the start of the rainy season, but the celebration is marred by the arrival of refugees from the sea. Everyone has a story about the foreigners newly in their midst—lazy, violent, unwanted—while the refugees themselves grieve the loss of the home they loved.Cleric Chih, very recently still Novice Chih, is also a stranger in Luntien. A moment of carelessness and bad luck leaves them waiting tables as they struggle to establish themself as a real cleric. A cleric’s job is to listen andrecord, but the stories emerging in Luntien are ugly and violent, as hard to predict as the river itself. With their hoopoe companion Almost Brilliant by their side, Chih must help the refugees while also unraveling a mystery that may have roots in their own faraway home in the abbey of Singing Hills.In the seventh entry of the award-winning Singing Hills series, we meet Chih and Almost Brilliant just beginning their journey together as Chih assumes their place on the road and in the world.The novellas of the Singing Hills series are standalone stories linked by the Cleric Chih, and may be read in any order.The Empress of Salt and FortuneWhen the Tiger Came Down the MountainInto the RiverlandsMammoths at the GatesThe Brides of High HillA Mouthful of Dust
