Kill Billionaire
Perhaps one reason not enough people kill billionaires is it’s actually quite tricky... 'Hopeful and exciting. Funny and heartbreaking ... I want to read more books like this!' Mikaela Loach'Scarily believable' Daily MailWhen her home is destroyed in wildfires, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate change: billionaires. She teams up with Mr P, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels. Together, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past. The trio’s mission soon develops a life of its own, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for superrich oil executives, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit?'I wouldn’t be surprised if it became a handbook for the revolution' Patrick Alley
America’s Favorite Warlord
Meet America’s favorite “warlord,” Abdul Raziq Achakzai (1976-2018). This book depicts the U.S. war in Afghanistan from a new perspective: that of the most dynamic and fearsome of America’s late allies. His critics castigated him as another of the corrupt strongmen who have dominated Central Asia for the past four decades. But a closer look at Raziq’s environment will allow readers from the West to understand how military leaders came to participate in Afghan governance after 2001, much as Americans have turned to charismatic authoritarians to establish justice in the face of uncertainty at home in the past. Why did foreigners continue to work with Raziq, given his grievous reputation? The short answer is that he was competent from a military perspective. But speaking of General Raziq with his former comrades revealed that competence in counterinsurgency took on many distinct connotations. Over the course of his career, Raziq not only captured and killed Taliban fighters. He provided intelligence, recruited and organized manpower, rallied lagging forces, and allowed outsiders a way into the complex tribal politics of Kandahar Province. Above all, his charisma and enthusiasm inspired hope in his military partners, along with wide swaths of the population of Kandahar. Almost everyone who met Raziq remarked on his force of personality, which took on cult status in his last years. Raziq rose to power as a hybrid figure, as he gained authority through his military skills and as part of a tribal hierarchy. This hybridity helps to explain why his leadership was flexible and inclusive rather than authoritarian in nature. Although he began his career as a narrow tribal militiaman, he ended it as a coalition-building nationalist. In our age of militarized borders, proxy wars, and insurgencies, Raziq’s career as a regional strongman offers an important case study for ongoing security dilemmas around the world.
The Mercy Step
A sharply-witted and tender portrait of a young girl's quiet rebellion and her refusal to be broken. Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2026Winner of the British Book Award - Discover Prize'Dark, humorous, and passionately captures the unique realities of the northern Black experience' - The ObserverSet in 1960s Bradford, The Mercy Step follows Mercy, a precocious young child facing a world far too big for her small body. She lives with her Windrush-generation parents in a crowded household where her mother's attention is stretched between church and family, and her father's temper is something to be endured or avoided. Feeling like an outsider within her own home, Mercy retreats into books and the companionship of her beloved doll, Dolly, while learning early how to navigate the flaws and failings of the adults around her. Yet Mercy is nothing if not resilient. Armed with humour, style and fierce imagination, she quietly begins to plot her escape from a traumatic childhood. Raw and deeply affecting, Mercy's story is one of Black British culture, childhood, family and survival in 1960s Britain. Critical to understanding these untold stories, Marcia's debut is not to be missed.

Special Brew
"This is the kind of book I like, recording all the 'runts in the litter' so to speak," says well-known motoring writer Graham Gauld. Robert Young documents in Special Brew the fascinating story of the Formula One and Libre specials that competed in the South African Drivers' Championship in its 'golden age' of the late 1950s and 1960s. Impecunious enthusiasts conceived and built these racing specials, the 'runts in the litter' to some, at a time when state-of-the-art machinery from abroad was unattainable or beyond their means. The result was the flowering of ingenious home-built designs such as Peter de Klerk's Alfa Special, Doug Serrurier's LDS marque, Gordon Henderson's Scorpions and Tony Kotze's low-slung Assegai. Complemented by a remarkable array of photographs, many in colour, Special Brew tells the story of these cars and the personalities associated with them in great detail, revealing many little-known facts, some drawn from the author's own observation while attending the events and from interviews with the personalities involved. This truly unique and 'special' book perfectly captures the atmosphere of racing at the time.

A viking fiai - Bosszú
866 TAVASZA, BRIT-SZIGETEK
A 15 éves Wulf kötéllel a nyakában áll az akasztófa alatt, amikor vikingek törnek be a faluba, és mindenkit lemészárolnak. Őt valamiért mégis életben hagyják, és magukkal viszik. Ahhoz azonban, hogy ne kelljen rabszolgasorban tengődnie élete végéig, bizonyítania kell a rátermettségét, és hasznos információkat kell adnia a szászokról. Hamarosan ugyanis rájön, hogy a falu elleni támadás nem volt véletlen: a híres viking, Ragnar Lodbrok öt fia - Vasbordájú Björn, Csonttalan Ivar, Kígyószemű Sigurd, Fehéringes Hálfdan és Ubbe - azért érkezett ide, hogy bosszút álljon apjuk feltételezett gyilkosán.
Ahogy Wulf egyre jobban megismeri a viking harcosok életét és intrikáit, éles eszének és jó megfigyelőképességének hála zavarba ejtő nyomokra bukkan. Lehet, hogy valamelyik testvér ölte meg az apjukat? És ha igen, miért? Miközben a Lodbrok-fiúk inváziója fenyegeti a vidéket, elkezdődik a versenyfutás az idővel - vajon Wulf be tudja bizonyítani, hogy ki a gyilkos, hogy ezzel megmentse magát, és megakadályozza még több ártatlan ember halálát?
A viking fiai - Bosszú izgalmas cselszövésekkel és véres harcokkal teli története Ragnar Lodbrok és fiai ősi legendáján alapul.

The Railway Murders
The vast majority of Britain’s railways were built between 1825 and 1900. By the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century, over one-hundred different railway companies were operating in Britain on more than 22,000 miles of railway track. Although these new railways brought prosperity to the nation, and enabled goods and passengers to be speedily transported the length and breadth of the country for the first time, this remarkable feat of engineering brought with it some unwelcome side-effects, one of which was crime. A vast number of passengers travel on Britain’s railway network each day, and unfortunately, a considerable amount of crime does occur on our railways. The types of crime committed on Britain’s railways varies considerably from petty or minor crime, to more serious crimes. Most people would consider that the crimes of “murder” and “attempted murder” are amongst the most serious crimes committed in our country, irrespective of where these appalling acts take place. A substantial number of murders and attempted murders have taken place on the railway network of Britain, during its two-hundred years of operation, and details surrounding the vast majority of these cases are revealed in this book, some for the first time. The author has spent many months of research, mainly through old newspaper archives, in order to obtain establish and publish historical information about murders committed on Britain’s railways, many of which have been long forgotten, or lost in the annals of time.

Hey, Good Morning, How are you
Juno Isabella Flock is a dancer and performance artist who spends her days caring for her ailing husband, and her nights chatting to love scammers online. She's aware of the risks these men pose - she's watched a documentary about them - but she's also discovered a heady freedom in these online conversations, and the things they allow her to say.
When Juno meets Owen_Wilson223 - or, to use his real name, Benu - she senses an immediate connection between them, even though they're separated by thousands of miles. Gradually, they reveal more and more about themselves to each other: about their real selves, and about who they really want to be. And just as Juno sees through Benu's lies, he sees through hers too.
Hey, Good Morning, How Are You? is a whirlwind of a novel. It's about yearning to stay young while age marches on; it's about how to stay truthful while the internet changes everything; it's about love and desire in all their many, conflicting forms. And most of all, it's a novel about the way we are all connected, by the same constellations and the same night sky, however different our circumstances.
