Warships at Dunkirk 1940
Illustrated throughout, this uncovers the hundreds of British and French warships in the Dunkirk evacuation, whose actions have been overshadowed by the fame of the ‘Little Ships’. In this book, naval historian Angus Konstam examines the backbone of the Dunkirk evacuation fleet: the warships of the Royal Navy and French Navy that were ordered into action to rescue the British Expeditionary Force. Nearly 50 destroyers, an anti-aircraft cruiser, and more than 200 MTBs, minesweepers, trawlers, and other small warships were involved, as many as could be spared without recklessly endangering naval strength. He highlights the lack of decent anti-aircraft defences available to the Allies in 1940, and shows how improvised weaponry were used to help fend off the Stukas. Dunkirk was the first naval operation of World War II to be carried out under sustained air attack, and nearly a fifth of the destroyers and a quarter of the smaller vessels were sunk, with more badly damaged. Illustrated with archive photos, profiles illustrating the range of both British and French warships involved, and dramatic original artwork, this studies the naval side of the greatest evacuation of World War II.

The Buried City
A vast area of Pompeii is being excavated for the first time, revealing astonishing insights into how people really lived. In this revelatory new history, Director of Pompeii Gabriel Zuchtriegel shares the untold stories that are at last emerging.
Pompeii is a world frozen in time. There are unmade beds, dishes left drying, tools abandoned by workmen, bodies embracing with love and fear. And alongside the remnants of everyday life, there are captivating works of art: lifelike portraits, exquisite frescos and mosaics, and the extraordinary sculpture of a sleeping boy, curled up under a blanket that's too small.
The Buried City reconstructs the catastrophe that destroyed Pompeii on 24 August 79 CE, but it also offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the city as it was before: who lived here, what mattered to them, and what happened in their final hours. It offers us a vivid sense of Pompeii's continuing relevance, and proves that ancient history is much closer to us than we think.
The Tapestry of Fate
THE EPIC, ACTION-PACKED SEQUEL TO THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL-SIRAFI FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SHANNON CHAKRABORTY
Set sail into the second adventure of Amina al-Sirafi as her quest to track down magical artifacts brings her to the island lair of a sorceress whose woven enchantments are impossible to flee…
Amina al-Sirafi thinks she's struck gold. Tasked with hunting down magical artifacts for the council of immortal peris, she can savour the occasional adventure on the high seas with her cherished criminal companions while still returning home to raise her beloved daughter.
But when Raksh, the spirit of discord with whom she is reluctantly wed, provokes the council's wrath, Amina is charged with a seemingly impossible quest: steal a spindle capable of rewriting fate from a mysterious sorceress on an island no one can escape.
Forced to leave her daughter, Amina finds her mission almost immediately thrown into peril. But deadly storms, an erratic poison mistress, and old enemies are the least of her worries. For the peris' story is unravelling, hinting at a far deadlier game whose rules Amina must swiftly puzzle out. A game that sets her against an adversary more cunning and powerful than she has ever faced.
A game that not everyone on her crew wants her to win.

The Spy in the Archive
LONGLISTED for the CWA ALCS Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction 2026
The compulsively readable new book from The Rest is Classified host Gordon Corera. About how one man - Vasili Mitrokhin - turned first disaffected dissident and then traitor to the KGB, stealing the most secret Soviet archives and smuggling them to the West.
How do you steal a library? Not just any library but the most secret, heavily guarded archive in the world. The answer is to be a librarian. To be so quiet, that no-one knows what you are up to as you toil undercover and deep amongst the files. The work goes on for decades but remains so low key, that even after your escape, aided by MI6, no-one even notices you are gone.
The Spy in the Archive tells the remarkable story of how Vasili Mitrokhin - an introverted archivist who loved nothing more than dusty files - ended up changing the world. As the in-house archivist for the KGB, the secrets he was exposed to inside its walls turned him first into a dissident and then a spy, a traitor to his country but a man determined to expose the truth about the dark forces that had subverted Russia, forces still at work in the country today.
Bestselling writer and historian Gordon Corera tells of the operation to extract this prized asset from Russia for the first time. It is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with vivid flashbacks to Mitrokhin's earlier time as a KGB idealist prepared to do what it took to serve the Soviet Union and his growing realisation that the communist state was imprisoning its own people. It is the story of what it was like to live in the Soviet Union, to raise a family and then of one man's journey from the heart of the Soviet state to disillusion, betrayal and defection. At its heart is Mitrokhin's determination to take on the most powerful institution in the world by revealing its darkest secrets. This is narrative non-fiction at its absolute best.
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..."
