Forged in War
A masterful history of how war and insecurity, both real and perceived, have driven Russia’s destiny for centuries, including the disastrous invasion of Ukraine. Putin retains his stranglehold on his position in Russia despite an almost ruinous invasion of Ukraine. The answer as to how and why can be found in Russian history. With no naturally defensible borders, and environmental factors constraining its economy, Russia has been pitched against the pre-eminent military powers of the age across the centuries, and often at a technological disadvantage. To respond to these challenges, it has had to sit heavily on the backs of its people, and so war – and the need to be able to fight it – has shaped its evolution, from tsars to commissars and presidents. The national identity has been forged in the furnace of war. From the medieval kingdom of Rus battling against a Scandinavian princes and Mongol emperors, to its own empire-building conflicts in 19th-century Asia, to the formative wars of the 20th century which saw Russia pitch from Tsarist empire to communist state and defender against Nazism, all these conflicts stained the lands of Russia red with blood. A weak post-Cold War Russia then turned to Putin, who created a new mood for martial triumphalism which led directly to the Ukrainian war. Packed with contemporary accounts, Forged in War strips away the myth to give an insider’s view on Russia’s past and present.

The Final Chapter
‘CB Everett is a master of fiendishly plotted, intelligent mysteries’ MARK EDWARDSA missing author. A lost manuscript. A final chapter that could reveal the truth. Ten years ago, bestselling literary novelist Jonathan Durward vanished without a trace - leaving behind no body, no answers, and no final book. Now that missing manuscript has finally surfaced. But it isn’t the masterpiece anyone expected. It’s a spy novel: pulpy, outlandish, and packed with clichés, tradecraft and Bond-style twists. Jonathan’s former publisher asks his closest friend, fellow author C. B. Everett, to annotate the novel and separate fact from fiction. But as C. B. reads, he begins to spot unsettling echoes of real people, real events - and perhaps the truth about Jonathan’s disappearance. Because hidden inside this strange, slippery thriller may be a confession. Or a clue. Or a trap. As C. B. is drawn deeper into the mystery, one question becomes impossible to ignore: did Jonathan vanish - or was he written out of the stor? lever, twisty and irresistibly readable, The Final Chapter is a brilliantly meta mystery about friendship, identity and the stories we tell ourselves - perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Janice Hallett. ‘A fiendishly clever thriller with a brilliant sting in the tail. Highly recommended’ CASS GREEN
Flichter
Written in a rich but accessible Borders Scots, the poems in Flichter contemplate nature, family, language and history in relation to our contemporary crises. Bringing together award-winning poems and new work which explore the braes of the Borders and beyond, this is a powerful debut from a bold new voice in Scots language
poetry.
‘Flichter’ contains many fine individual poems but as a whole it has an almost mesmeric quality, as if you were listening to a quiet but urgent discussion that touches on environment, memory, history and being. Crucially, Scots is the conduit for the flow of thought. Multiple internal rhymes, echoes and alliterations push the ideas on in a way that demands that the poems be read aloud. This is a brave, vulnerable, questioning and vibrant first collection. – James Robertson
Craig writes poetry with an evocative power. He creates beauty in the everyday, carefully crafting the nuances of humanity, history and nature. ‘Flichter’ is a celebration of the Scots leid, and in particular, the Borders dialect. This is a beautiful collection that spans across various themes, each resonating deeply.
