As the Red Army draws in on Berlin from the east, the British and Americans from the West, the heart of the Reich trembles beneath bombardment and the pitiless tracks of tanks. The stage is set for a climactic showdown, and the traitors become more central than ever... The gripping third novel in Alex Gerlis' epic Double Agent series. Praise for Alex Gerlis ‘One of the superstars of modern spy fiction’ Daily Express ‘With this brilliant tale of a writer entangled in pre-World War II espionage, Gerlis cleverly builds an ironic and darkly realistic world that shows just how nebulous is the border between good and evil, observer and participant, our inner and outer lives. Richly imagined, meticulously plotted, and chockfull of historic details, Every Spy a Traitor is one of those rare books that gets better with every page. One of the best spy novels I’ve read’ I. S. Berry, author of The Peacock and the Sparrow ‘Clever plotting, rich detail and a compelling story of a young man forced to become a double agent to survive in a world where friends become adversaries and no one can be trusted. Every Spy a Traitor will reward fans of Graham Greene, Charles Cumming, Frederick Forsythe and Alan Furst’ Paul Vidich, author of Beirut Station ‘Fascinating... A pleasant blend of John Buchan derring-do if lightweight adventures and the more gritty Le Carré-like grey travails in the secret corridors of power’ Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time ‘An absorbing portrait of a world on the brink that disarms you before it floors you’ Tim Glister, author of Red Corona |

With sales of over 16,000 copies of Sweet Jimmy , Bryan Brown's distinctive storytelling voice continues in this unflinching, gripping novel. 'A work of rattling and serpentine suspense ... gripping and sinuous and so, so good.' Trent Dalton   ' The Drowning has all the hallmarks of great Aussie crime writing ... Brown's punchy prose makes this novel absolutely devourable, and all will be revealed in due time. The Drowning is highly recommended holiday reading.' Better Reading The body of a local teenage boy is found on the beach of a sleepy northern New South Wales town. David went for an evening swim and got into trouble ... at least, that's what it looks like.  Three weeks before, Leila, a young backpacker, didn't turn up for her shift at the local cafe. Benny, the owner, isn't worried. It happens - backpackers are always on the move. There'll be another one. One of the locals, Adrian, has been a help to Benny. He's found him a nice little sideline. Not exactly legal. Is that all Adrian is arranging on the coast? He once was a cop but has he gone bad?  And in the backblocks outside town, a bikie gang is gearing up for a large consignment from South America.  Murder, drugs, liaisons and lies are stirring up this small coastal town. With Bryan Brown's characteristic laconic storytelling - humorous, tough and suspenseful - the secrets of this seemingly idyllic town slowly come to the surface. Praise for Sweet Jimmy 'Uniquely Australian and uncommonly good, I could hear the author's voice in every spare, haunting line. More please.' - Michael Robotham 'My friend Bryan Brown, quite apart from his other manifold talents, turns out to be an excellent writer. An authentic voice; highly imaginative yet completely believable, with a flair for fully realised characters and a gripping narrative ... a great storyteller. This is utterly baffling.

So, it seems like a boneheaded move for her to risk her dream of becoming a Master Diver, a coveted position, for an affair with her off-limits instructor. But even as the forbidden relationship tempts her, Blue shows her exactly the kind of hero he is and crossing the line becomes almost impossible as it dawns on her bit by bit that she knows how to heal him and in the process, maybe he could save her, too. Will her heart rule her head? While they work to overcome their trauma, Blue’s past comes back to haunt him in a violent way, putting Charlie’s life in danger. After all that they have to overcome, will this tear them apart? |
40. Once A Pilgrim - James Deegan

|
‘You couldn’t make it up. Brilliant.’ Jeffrey Archer ‘Decades of war has given James Deegan a natural ability to create a world that is incredibly realistic and exciting. This takes military fiction to a whole new level entirely. Deegan is a master’ Tom Marcus Mi5 Survellance officer, Author of Capture or Kill ‘Move over Andy McNab and Chris Ryan, there’s a new SAS veteran writing thrillers and he’s good. Very good.’ Stephen Leather John Carr has recently left the SAS, after a long and distinguished career, and is now working for a Russian oligarch in the murky world of private security. But an incident from his past – in which three terrorists were brutally killed – suddenly comes back to haunt him. Tracked by a hitman out for revenge, John Carr is forced to step over the line to defend himself and his family. It’s a cruel and violent world – and one he thought he’d left behind. But some wars never end. Patriot Games meets Taken: In Once A Pilgrim, John Carr shows all the Reacher-esque hallmarks of a cold-blooded antihero doing what needs to be done, whatever the consequences. JAMES DEEGAN MC is a fantastic new voice in the thriller genre, writing with unprecedented authority and authenticity. ‘Carr is a hero for our times’ Daily Mail Reviews ‘Inevitably Deegan will be compared to Andy McNab and Chris Ryan, but he adds his own brand of contemporary authenticity. Carr is a hero for our times.’ Daily Mail ‘Fans of Andy McNab will lap up ONCE A PILGRIM by SAS veteran James Deegan, a cracking page-turner’ DAILY EXPRESS ‘As close as it gets to the real thing’ Mark 'Billy' Billingham MBE . Former SAS Warrant Officer and star of TV's SAS Who Dares Wins ‘James Deegan write with masterful authority and unsurpassed experience as he transports the reader deep into the troubles of Northern Ireland – and then brings them back up to date with a dramatic bang. Uncertain times require certain people, and ex-SAS operator John Carr fits that bill. A tough, enigmatic man from the shadows, he is brought to life in this fast-paced, easy-reading thriller, and is bound to end up on screen. The character detail is credible but not clinical, and ONCE A PILGRIM will undoubtedly introduce James Deegan and John Carr as forces to be reckoned with.’ Chantelle Taylor, Combat Medic and author of Battleworn ‘authentic detail and heart stopping narrative grips you from the outset bringing the shadowy world of today’s special forces bursting in to life in a way that other authors of the genre couldn’t hope for….the best thriller I’ve read in years’ Major Chris Hunter QGM – Author of Eight Lives Down and Extreme Risk ‘exposes the raw with the reality. This is a gripping high intensity drama’ Bob Shepherd, ex SAS Warrant Officer and bestselling author ‘Move over Andy McNab and Chris Ryan, there’s a new SAS veteran writing thrillers and he’s good. Very good.’ Stephen Leather 'An impressive debut, that rates up there with Gerald Seymour and Fredrick Forsyth; blending a realistic vernacular of special forces soldiering to make a cracking read with page turning pace from start to finish.'

A brutal, forensic takedown of the House of Sussex at its most fragile moment yet' The Daily Beast, The Royalist Podcast with Tom Sykes 'The Royal Family's vulnerability was exposed... Treachery in the family was rarely rewarded - as Harry and Meghan realised. The Palace chose silence as its only option... Few could anticipate the endgame.' The British Crown is in crisis, with constitutional threats at home and abroad. Since their infamous 'Megxit' split from the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have dominated global headlines. Ferociously controversial, not least for demanding privacy while seeking the spotlight, the Sussexes have remained a subject of gripping fascination for both supporters and cynics alike. Both camps are united on one platform: what is the endgame? Fighting to preserve their royal titles and privileges, In their attempts to create a Sussex brand the couple have fuelled bitter hostility. Accusations of disloyalty have been trumped by recriminations about dishonesty. Amid High Court battles with the government and the media, and the infamous publication of Spare , the Sussexes have reeled after successive Netflix flops and their doomed collaboration with Spotify - only to be ridiculed for Meghan's self-invention as a domestic goddess. At a landmark moment in royal history, the Sussexes' challenge to the British monarchy echoes worldwide. The fallout always threatens to be catastrophic. Just five years on from 'Megxit', can King Charles overcome the scandals that blight the family and limit the Sussexes' threat to the monarchy? Can the broken bonds between the Houses of Sussex and Windsor ever be repaired or will the King choose to strip them of their titles and banish them forever? The Sussexes are in a race against time to solve their predicament. With inimitable research and exclusive interviews from insiders, Britain's leading investigative biographer Tom Bower exposes the latest contortions in the explosive Royal saga of power and betrayal. 'Tom Bower is the Inspector Morse of investigative biographers, a fluent, phlegmatic story-teller and a master of intricacies.' Sunday Times |

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER **INCLUDES NEW MATERIAL** ‘If you want to write a novel or a script, read this book’ SUNDAY TIMES ‘The best book on the craft of storytelling I’ve ever read’ MATT HAIG ‘A masterpiece. I am in awe’ ADAM RUTHERFORD Why stories make us human and how to tell them better. There have been many attempts to understand what makes a good story – but few have used a scientific approach. In this incisive, thought-provoking book, award-winning writer Will Storr demonstrates how master storytellers manipulate and compel us. Applying dazzling psychological research and cutting-edge neuroscience to the foundations of our myths and archetypes, he shows how we can use these tools to tell better stories – and make sense of our chaotic modern world. ‘A hugely compelling reading experience. Storr’s superb exploration of the enduring appeal of the novel offers a smart, fascinating exploration of the science and psychology behind our most sophisticated art form that also works as an effective how-to guide’ OBSERVER ‘It is clear, compelling and tightly shaped around one fascinating and productive idea … Storr wants to free writers from programmatic, plot-based writing guides, and his approach feels liberating’ SUNDAY TIMES Reviews ‘Rarely has a book engrossed me more, and forced me to question everything I’ve ever read, seen or written. It’s a masterpiece. I am in awe’ Adam Rutherford ‘The best book on the craft of storytelling I’ve ever read’ Matt Haig ‘Easily the best book I've read this year’ Hannah Fry ‘A hugely compelling reading experience.

Storr’s stories about storytelling, relayed in his inimitable way, reveal that we are the biased protagonists of our own stories – and that culture would be vastly improved by a recognition of our own cognitive flaws. Because stories are not about facts, but understanding’ Pandora Sykes ‘A brilliant, accessible and very human book not just for writers but for anyone interested in how the mind works – not least their own. Will manages to be both detached and compassionate on every page, sometimes within the same sentence. That such a complicated book is so easy to read is testament to his clarity of thought and skill as writer. A stupendous achievement’ Robert Webb |

|
A blisteringly fast, fresh, funny and hugely entertaining novel of mothers, daughters and one gutsy wild colonial girl who gets caught up in Australia's last female bushranger's quest for revenge. Think Leah Purcell's The Drover's Wife meets Trent Dalton. 1918: Australia's last bushranger, Dulcie James, holds up Anna King's falling-down farmhouse. There's a scrawny unloved infant on the floor, Anna seems more furious than frightened, and it's the bushranger who's left shaken. And the next day, Anna disappears. Twelve years later, Anna's daughter, Billie King, is a girl ready to explode. With a missing mother, the rent in arrears and her alcoholic father's gambling debts to cover, she has no time for school. But when child services threaten to remove Billie from her father, she must decide between continuing her search for her missing mother and keeping what's left of her family together. If she fails to hold onto her father, she'll be taken away and placed in a children's home, but if she doesn't find her missing mother, who will? 'This blazing novel had me gripped from first page to last. Wildly original, utterly tender, fiercely feminist and astoundingly good storytelling, I inhaled it.' Tess Woods, The Venice Hotel 'If Quentin Tarantino had set Kill Bill in the 1930's Aussie bush with a gun-slinging 12 year old, it would be something like Shannon Kelly White's debut novel, Billie King.

Kerryn Mayne, Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder 'An extraordinary debut - an utterly unique take on a fascinating era, bursting with fierce, funny characters that will break your heart and put it right back together again. I loved every single word of this brilliant story!' Kelly Rimmer, The Midnight Estate 'Fierce, furious, and fearless: Billie King is destined to become an iconic character in Australian fiction.

One of my top reads for the year!' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'You are going to want to read this book. An exceptional debut novel' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Stirring! Heartbreaking! Fair dinkum! Beautiful!

56. The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances - Glenn Dixon
|
|||
|
In a near future, where even the smallest of appliances are sentient, a young Roomba vacuum sets out to save the humans of her house from a rising technological power in this compelling, original novel. 'Great book. Weird, wonderful. I loved this' Matt Haig In a self-running, smart house, a young and sentient Roomba listens as her owner, Harold, reads aloud to his dying wife, Edie. Mesmerized by To Kill a Mockingbird and craving the human connection she witnesses in Harold's stories, the little vacuum renames herself Scout and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. But when Edie passes away, Scout and her fellow sentient appliances discover that there are sinister forces in their midst. The omnipresent Grid, which monitors every household in the City, seeks to remove Harold from his home, a place he's lived in for fifty years. With the help of Adrian, a neighborhood boy who grows close to Scout and Harold, as well as Kate, Harold and Edie's formerly estranged daughter, the humans and the appliances must come together to outwit the all-controlling Grid lest they risk losing everything they hold dear. 'A delightful examination of the wonderment and fragility of life through the eyes of a curious robo-vac who's trying to get a handle on humans and their emotions.' Hilde Hinton, author of The Loudness of Unsaid Things 'Sentient appliances come to the rescue in this cute, speculative fiction. Life's fragility is part of its preciousness in Dixon's vision, and he layers a relaxed parable of ageing and grief (and more than a touch of Before the Coffee Gets Cold-style quirk and spirituality) into a techno-utopian premise' The Age 'I fell in love with this book. It is timely, heartfelt and completely unexpected in the best possible way. Glenn Dixon masterfully brings his characters to life, including, yes, kitchen appliances. Who knew I could fall in love with a protagonist who happens to be a Roomba?' Susin Nielsen, author of Snap 'A fantastic book. One that makes us think, feel, and appreciate the ways in which we humans, our technologies, and our love of literature intersect.' Evan Friss, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop 'Quaint, wistful, and profound, Dixon's novel pits scrappy innocence against a pitiless, totalitarian future. This is a deeply satisfying read at exactly the right time.' Sierra Greer, award-winning author of Annie Bot 'An incredibly timely and charming novel' Library Journal 'Extraordinary. Fresh, original and with an intelligent, thoughtful undertone reminiscent of Black Mirror, it's a modern 'fairytale' that's deceptively cozy and simple. It will touch your heart and mind in ways you will not see coming and leave you with plenty to think about. This is Animal Farm for the 21st Century.' Janice Hallett, international bestselling author of The Killer Question 'Enchanting ... Dixon crafts a fascinating character in Scout, who brims with humanity ... The story avoids sentimentality, reaching an ending that feels genuinely hopeful despite the dystopian trappings. Readers will be endeared by this inspired domestic drama' Publishers Weekly 'The plot is tender and suspenseful as Scout begins to grasp love, grief, and resistance. Readers who enjoy stories that mix an intimate domestic setting with big questions about AI and control will find this both moving and surprisingly hopeful' Booklist |

How did Corporal Hitler's Luger from the First World War end up being the weapon that killed an IRA turncoat in Kempsey, New South Wales, in 1933? When an affluent Kempsey matron spots a young Aboriginal boy who bears an uncanny resemblance to her husband, not only does she scream for divorce, attempt to take control of the child’s future and upend her comfortable life, but the whole town seems drawn into chaos. A hero of the First World War has a fit at the cinema and is taken to a psychiatric ward in Sydney, his Irish farmhand is murdered, and a gay piano-playing veteran, quietly a friend to many in town, is implicated. Corporal Hitler's Pistol speaks to the never-ending war that began with 'the war to end all wars'. Rural communities have always been a melting pot and many are happy to accept a diverse bunch … as long as they don’t overstep. Set in a town he knows very well, in this novel Tom Keneally tells a compelling story of the interactions and relationships between black and white Australians in early twentieth-century Australia. _______________________________________ PRAISE FOR TOM KENEALLY ‘Always a first-rate storyteller of a traditional kind, Keneally displays his mastery of narrative technique in a series of cinematic set pieces that propel the story forward while intimately developing the characters.’ The Guardian ‘A lively historical fiction grounded in the soapy intrigues and infidelities of small-town life, but reaching beyond its parochial setting to touch on global conflicts.’ Sydney Morning Herald |

Numbers have fascinated humanity for centuries. Across cultures and throughout history, numbers have been studied not only as mathematical tools but also as symbols of order, structure, and meaning. From ancient philosophical traditions to modern reflective practices, many people have explored the possibility that numerical patterns can serve as points of focus for personal awareness and intentional thought. Among these systems, Grabovoi Codes have gained attention as a set of numerical sequences used by individuals for reflection, mindfulness, and intention-setting.The Grabovoi Codes Made Simple: The Complete List of Healing Numbers, Meaning, and How to Use Them is designed as an educational and practical guide for readers who wish to explore this subject in a clear, balanced, and thoughtful way. This book presents Grabovoi Codes as symbolic tools that some individuals incorporate into personal reflection practices.

The book also includes a detailed directory of commonly referenced codes, step-by-step guidance for applying numerical sequences, and a special section dedicated to reflective practices involving pets.In addition, this guide emphasizes the importance of personal interpretation and mindful application.

Hero Whakaari helicopter pilot and former NZSAS soldier Mark Law on surviving a series of life-threatening events that would shape his life and career. Lucky You're Tough chronicles the life of helicopter pilot and NZSAS soldier Mark Law, from growing up in the rural wilds of Whangamomona through to surviving a series of life-threatening events that would shape his life and career. After a career as a badged soldier in the NZSAS that led to an intriguing stint with the British SAS and then working as private security in active war zones, Mark returned to New Zealand to start his own helicopter business, Kahu NZ. While on a sunny day off on 9 December 2019, he got the call that Whakaari/White Island was erupting. All those years of service and expertly trained instincts led to a split-second decision: Mark and his Kahu NZ colleagues would fly to the erupting volcano to rescue any survivors they could find.  This daring rescue mission would ensure that Mark and the other pilots were able to comfort the injured, as well as to fly those 12 stranded survivors off the island, after they were left there when authorities announced that no official rescue would be coming. Mark's decision led to himself and his fellow heroic pilots being awarded medals for bravery by the New Zealand government.  Within 12 months of the Governor General presenting his medal, however, his one-man company was hit with a six-figure penalty based on charges brought by WorkSafe related to Kahu's past tours on Whakaari. The decision to lay those charges made a year after the eruption outraged New Zealanders and led more than 140,000 Kiwis to sign an online petition asking the government to drop the charges. They didn't.  From Whangamomona to Whakaari, Lucky You're Tough is a story of service, adventure, humour and resilience, and surviving when the odds are against you. |

Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice? *This is a reissued edition of the original Love, Theoretically with an updated cover and containing a new note from Ali herself, plus never-before-seen bonus content* *Ali Hazelwood's Mate was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 11 and 18 October 2025. |
