A razor-sharp psychological suspense thriller for fans of Gillian Flynn about the family secrets that bind us - and break us. When Elspeth returns from New York to her hometown of Geelong, it's not for a holiday - it's because her mother has vanished. While her sister, Aoife, and Elspeth wait for news, they circle around their father's death years earlier, reopening old wounds. But Elspeth's own behaviour soon unsettles those around her, and the police begin to wonder if she's hiding something.  Elspeth teams up with a local crime reporter to search for the truth, leading to the discovery of her mother's unfinished memoir. It includes letters that expose long-buried betrayals and shocking secrets. As the investigation tightens, so does the net around Elspeth. Is she an investigator, a grieving daughter, or someone more dangerous?  In a family built on lies, digging too deep can be deadly.  'Richly observed and deliciously dark. I defy you not to fall for this damaged narrator who sees what other people don't. This is a story of trying (and failing) to leave your past behind, delivered with a stylish and sly malevolence that lingers long after the last page. Mali Cornish is a gift from the writing gods.' - Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town and Girl Falling   'Like her enigmatic, troubled narrator Elspeth, Mali Cornish toys with the reader until you're not sure what or who to believe. The Missing Mother is a nuanced exploration of the legacy of unresolved childhood trauma, wrapped up in a suspenseful narrative which comes to a cracking conclusion. You'll be second guessing yourself until the very last, delicious sentence!' - Kate Horan, author of On the Edge

Winner of the Matt Richell New Writer of the Year, ABIAs 2026 A country town, a brutal murder, a shameful past, a reckoning to come... The injustices of the past and dangers of the present envelop Aboriginal policewoman Renee Taylor, when her unwilling return to the small outback town of her childhood plunges her into the investigation of a brutal murder. Renee Taylor is planning to stay the minimum amount of time in her remote hometown - only as long as her mum needs her, then she is fleeing back to her real life in Brisbane. Seconded to the town's sleepy police station, Renee is pretty sure work will hold nothing more exciting than delivering speeding tickets. Then a murdered woman is found down by the creek on the outskirts of town. Leading the investigation, Renee uncovers a perplexing connection to the disappearance of two young women thirty years earlier. As she delves deeper and the mystery unfurls, intergenerational cruelties, endemic racism, and deep corruption show themselves, even as dark and bitter truths about the town and its inhabitants' past rise up and threaten to overwhelm the present... Authentic, gripping crime drama from a bright new voice in fiction. 'A page-turner with purpose. Refreshing, surprising, and propulsive. Angie Faye Martin is a name to watch.' Tracey Lien, author of All That's Left Unsaid 'Melaleuca is rich with authenticity and heart. Angie Faye Martin skillfully paints a picture of outback Queensland so that the scents, sounds and heat become a physical experience for the reader.' Laura McCluskey, author of The Wolf Tree 'Atmospheric and blistering. Melaleuca will leave you wanting more. What a remarkable debut.' Fleur McDonald, author of The Prospect 'A fresh, authentic perspective to the much-loved genre of the Australian outback thriller. Compelling, thought-provoking and twisty, Melaleuca is both a gripping, tightly plotted mystery and an unflinching exploration of the dark underbelly of institutionalised racism and corruption in Australia.' Kate Horan, author of The Inheritance 'This intense, heart-wrenching and beautifully written novel introduces a bold, and important voice in Australian crime fiction. Set in a small, outback Queensland town, it features the resilient, courageous, and marvelously flawed Aboriginal detective, Renee Taylor. An atmospheric, compulsive read that I defy you to put down.' Karen Brooks, author of The Good Wife of Bath 'Powerful First Nations crime noir that interrogates law enforcement and how it intersects with Indigenous victims. Melaleuca is a compelling exploration of a police officer caught between two worlds, small-town complicity and justice long overdue.' Dinuka McKenzie, author of The Torrent 'Angie Faye Martin brings an important new voice to Australia's rich rural crime tradition. With a gutsy First Nations heroine, an atmospheric setting and a shocking crime that exposes a small town's prejudices, this is a book that deserves a large and enthusiastic audience.' Cassie Hamer, author of The Stranger at the Table

One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until the day she gets a call that sends her racing back to Barry's Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek - the man she never thought she'd have to live without. For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family restaurant and curling up together with books, Percy and Sam had been inseparable. And slowly that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Percy must confront the decisions she's made and the years she's spent punishing herself for them, in order to determine, once and for all, whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing - a stunning story of corruption and tragedy in one of the world's great cities: London. "A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you'll be turning pages for hours" Los Angeles Times 'Patrick Radden Keefe [is] one of the top narrative nonfiction authors of his generation' TIME In 2019, a London teenager, Zac Brettler, mysteriously fell to his death from a luxury apartment building on the banks of the Thames. When his grieving parents began their desperate quest to understand how their son had died, they made a terrible discovery: Zac had been leading a fantasy life, posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. In his inimitably gripping and forensic prose, Baillie Gifford Prize winner and New Yorker writer Patrick Radden Keefe follows Zac's parents on a dark journey to find out what brought Zac to the balcony that night - and how a teenager's world of make-believe drew him into the city's terrifying underworld. London Falling is at once a devastating family tragedy, a riveting story of greed, power and deception, and an indictment of the culture that has transformed London into a haven for the malignant forces that have come to influence us all.

Bryan Brown's distinctive storytelling voice returns in this unflinching, gripping novel from the bestselling author of The Drowning . 'Tight, tense, this mystery rockets along. All you can do is hang on and hope your favourites survive.' CANDICE FOX 'Stepping into The Hidden is like arriving as a voyeur into a small town gripped by everyday difficulties and some much bigger problems. With the rapid-fire switching between characters, Brown crafts a tale that is both intimate and cinematic – layered with suspense and a quiet intensity that keeps you turning the page. If you appreciate a well-told tale with heart and grit, The Hidden delivers.' VIKKI PETRAITIS The Heads was once a small village on the NSW north coast. Now it's a large village with a lot of action below the surface. A shipment of coke, a crime squad investigation and a drug overdose keep the local sergeant pretty busy. Someone is preying on the women of The Heads. And what does the discovery of buried roosters in the forest mean to a young boy?  Will Sergeant William Jarrett uncover what is really going on or will it all remain hidden? Praise for THE DROWNING '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. I'm furious.' SAM NEILL  '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

Step into a world of hot hockey players, feisty heroines and steamy romance in this addictive spin-off from the bestselling Off-Campus! Read The Chase for the perfect brother's best friend romance! She's the one girl he shouldn't want . . . Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there's no logical reason why I'm so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don't usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I'm flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn't help that he's buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we're roommates? I suppose it doesn't matter. Fitzy has made it clear he's not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I'm not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I'm not about to start. I've got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he's missing? He knows where to find me. *** Why fans love Elle Kennedy ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

They assume it's business related until his body is washed up on the beach close to his clifftop home. Susan is convinced he was murdered and slowly discovers that each of the small group of suspects has a motive. Is the killing linked to the break-in… or is this a crime of passion?

The never-before-told true story of a brave young nurse who was the only Australian survivor of the sinking of the Titanic . Evelyn Marsden was a young girl with big dreams. Born in the dusty backblocks of South Australia, she was an accomplished horsewoman and a champion rower who, during family holidays by the Murray River, would challenge herself by rowing against the tide. But Evelyn wanted more than was expected for women of her time. Training in Adelaide as a nurse was her first step in expanding her horizons, but then an opportunity to travel as a stewardess on ocean liners came along, and she grabbed it. Europe, Jamaica, Africa, the Mediterranean, New York ... Evelyn immersed herself in it all, seeing wonders she'd only ever read about. And then, in her late twenties, she met a handsome ship's doctor, Dr William James. They fell in love, became engaged soon afterwards, and felt blessed a short time later when they were both promised positions on RMS Titanic's maiden voyage. However, scheduling complications meant Evelyn, alongside 2240 passengers and crew, boarded the world's largest and most luxurious ship alone. Then, just before midnight on 14 April 1912, the supposedly 'unsinkable' Titanic struck an iceberg and, as panic took hold, the best and worst of humanity revealed itself. Evelyn calmly helped distressed passengers until she was finally ordered into a lifeboat, where she took the oars and helped row against the pull of the sinking ship. While saving herself and others, she was also desperately hoping she would find a way back to her beloved William. Through exhaustive research and evocative storytelling, Lisa Wilkinson reveals the drama onboard the Titanic, the tyranny of human errors that sealed the ship's fate, and Evelyn Marsden's own extraordinary story. It's a tale that will ensure readers fall in love with this heroic young Australian woman. 'Deeply researched . . . Wilkinson is particularly adept at putting the reader on the spot, especially in the often surreal mayhem of the evacuation . . . Thoroughly engaging' SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 'Immersive . . . The thoroughly researched story puts you right on the Titanic, in the first-class staterooms alongside the celebrities and powerbrokers of the day and in the lifeboats, a witness to the ship's final hour' COURIER-MAIL 'Wilkinson's turn of phrase is buoyant [and it] is quite the service she's done, putting Evelyn back into our history . . . I was so moved' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN 'Evocative' WHO WEEKLY

Bodies that are thousands of years old, uncannily preserved. Bodies with strange injuries that suggest ritual torture and human sacrifice. When a corpse is found in a bog in Galway, Cormac Reilly assumes the find is historical. But closer examination reveals a more recent story. The dead man is Thaddeus Grey, a local secondary school principal who disappeared two years prior. There's nothing in Grey's past that would explain why he was murdered, or why his body was mutilated in a ritual manner. At first, progress on the case is frustratingly slow and Cormac struggles to keep his mind on the job. His ex-girlfriend, Emma Sweeney, is in trouble, and she's reached out to him for help - Emma's new husband has gone missing in Paris, and the French police are refusing to open an investigation into his disappearance. Cormac is sure that he has found Grey's killer, and is within hours of an arrest, when another mutilated body is discovered on the other side of the country. Two days later, a third body is found. Press attention is intense. Is there a serial killer at work in Ireland? Has Cormac been on the wrong trail? And if so, can he find the murderer before they strike again?

Sam Faurier is in deep trouble. Which normally wouldn’t be a problem for an elite firefighter with razor-sharp instincts and cocky bravado to spare. Except this time, his impulsive decision on a call got fellow firefighter, Lucy de Costa, into hot water, too. Did he mention that he’s had an unrequited crush on her for years? Or that she’s the battalion chief’s by-the-book daughter? Or that the call that got them both benched was actually arson, only Sam can’t prove it without help? Lucy de Costa doesn’t break the rules, and she sure as hell doesn’t catch feelings for other firefighters. She’s worked way too hard to make her way up the ranks for that, no matter how sexy Sam Faurier’s smile is—or how hot his determination. He’s convinced there’s an arsonist on the loose. Trouble is, she’s the only one who believes him. And she’s going to have to throw protocol and caution out the window in order to help him prove it. Even if she finds herself unable to resist him—and how much he wants her—in the process. But the more they uncover, the deeper the danger becomes. To catch the arsonist, Sam and Lucy will have to rely on their wits, their training, and each other. Before it’s too late.

Strangers reads with all the momentum and colour of water-tight literary fiction' British Vogue How do we go on when a loved one betrays us? On a chilly day in March of 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, Belle Burden’s husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her. His decision shocked Belle to her core: she believed he was a happy man, a committed partner, and a devoted father to their three children. She thought he was a man who had settled into the life he had always wanted: a successful career, summers spent at their beloved home on Martha’s Vineyard, lots of tennis. Overnight, he transformed from her steady companion into a stranger. As she pieces her life together in the wake of a loss she had never imagined coming, she finds she is much stronger than she ever expected. Exploring the transformation of a shy, quiet girl, nicknamed ‘Belle the Good’ to a powerful, brave, determined woman who has learned to use her voice to expose the patriarchal structures that have forced women to be discreet and compliant for far too long, Strangers is a must-read memoir of self-discovery. 'Burden is an elegant writer … As Strangers and myriad tv shows attest, even the most intimate and long marriages can yield nasty surprises. In the end, how well do you really know the person who lies next to you in bed every night?' Economist ‘A compelling tale of marriage and deception… Strangers raises some serious questions about the nature of intimacy and what makes a “perfect” marriage … She weaves the narrative together deftly: I devoured Strangers in about two days, greedily absorbing every twist and painful turn … I loved it.’ Lucy Denyer, Telegraph ‘Examines how we view intimacy, how the people closest to us can change without us knowing, and how to move forward in the wake of devastation.’ W Magazine ‘Burden’s sharp, personal writing brings readers deep into her unthinkable circumstances and offers a promise to anyone suffering: you can make it to the other side.’ Town & Country

For readers of Sally Hepworth, Jo Dixon and Ali Lowe, this twisty domestic suspense holds you captive from its gripping beginning to its shocking denouement. Maz Antonio has spent the last two years in prison so is determined to make the first major family gathering in their new home deep in Australian suburbia as perfect as possible.

This special lunch is her chance to make things right for her husband and children, to show everyone that she can maintain her sobriety, that things can go back to normal. (Whatever normal looks like when you have traumatic, confusing flashbacks of that fateful day where two innocent lives were lost.) Her sister, Elli, is in. So is her husband's brother. Her distant father-in-law is gracing them with his presence and her mum Margaret is on the way from Newcastle, bringing a colleague - a virtual stranger she impulsively invited. But is this man really a stranger? Or could it be that he is intimately connected to the past that Maz has so desperately been trying to put behind her - a past that's about to explode across the dinner table in the deadliest of ways...

In this true crime exposé, a single mother is accused of torturing and murdering her own daughters—and involving their siblings in the coverup. Raising her five kids alone in a rundown section of Sacramento, Theresa Cross Knorr seemed like the ultimate survivor. But her youngest daughter, sixteen-year-old Terry, told police another story: one in which Theresa—no longer the petite brunette she once was—became insanely jealous of her pretty eldest daughters and enlisted the help of her two teenaged sons in a vicious campaign against them. According to Terry, Theresa drugged, handcuffed, and shot sixteen-year-old Suesan, allowing her wounds to fester until the day she ordered her sons to burn their sister alive. Next, Terry said Theresa severely beat twenty-year-old Sheila and then locked her in a broom closet, so that when the girl finally starved to death, her brothers dumped her body in the same desolate mountain range where they had cremated Suesan. It took Terry five agonizing years to convince authorities to investigate her grisly account of a mother so sadistic and deranged that she became her children's own executioner.

REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK FOR NOVEMBER 2025! ‘ At once a gripping mystery, an exquisitely written ode to the natural world, and a taut, psychological thriller, Wild Dark Shore is a triumph. Charlotte McConaghy is masterful in her ability to show the intricate connections between place and the human heart, and Wild Dark Shore shows her at the height of her powers. Breathtaking. ’ HANNAH KENT Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers. But with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants, packing up the seeds before they are transported to safer ground. Despite the wild beauty of life here, isolation has taken its toll on the Salts. Raff, 18 and suffering his first heartbreak, can only find relief at his punching bag; Fen, 17, has started spending her nights on the beach among the seals; 9-year-old Orly, obsessed with botany, fears the loss of his beloved natural world; and Dominic can’t stop turning back towards the past, and the loss that drove the family to Shearwater in the first place. Then, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman washes up on shore. As the Salts nurse the woman, Rowan, back to life, their suspicion gives way to affection, and they finally begin to feel like a family again. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting her heart, begins to fall for the Salts, too. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers the sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises Dominic is keeping his own dark secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, the characters must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it’s too late—and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together. A novel of heartstopping twists, dizzying beauty and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is a story about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is ending.

Some risks are meant to be taken . . . College was supposed to be my chance to get over my ugly-duckling complex and spread my wings. Instead, I wound up in a sorority full of mean girls. I already have a hard time fitting in, so when my Kappa Chi sisters issue the challenge, I can't say no. The dare: seduce the hottest new hockey player in the junior class. Conor Edwards is a regular at Greek Row parties . . . and in Greek Row sorority beds. He's the one you fall for before you learn that guys like him don't give girls like me a second glance. Except Mr. Popular throws me for a loop - rather than laughing in my face, he does me a solid by letting me take him upstairs to pretend we're getting busy. Even crazier, now he wants to keep pretending. Turns out Conor loves games, and he thinks it's fun to pull the wool over my frenemies' eyes. But resisting his easy charm and surfer-boy hotness is darn near impossible. Though I'm realizing there's much more to Conor's story than his fan club can see. And the longer this silly ruse goes on, the greater the danger of it all blowing up in my face. *** Why fans love Elle Kennedy ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate. The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural. Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her. INDY I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and approachable guy. Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and untrusting of others. Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up, one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend, will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's celebrity hero. Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake. Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all . . .

THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON 'A word-of-mouth smash hit' New York Times 'For anything to be truly good, there must be love in it. Nothing is what it's supposed to be if love is not at the core.' One morning, a stranger arrives in the town of Golden. No one knows who he is or where he came from… His name is Theo and he's arrived there by chance – or has he? He visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits by a local artist of the people of Golden.

Holly Ringland Shortlisted for the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year at the ABIA's 2026 Lexi Villiers is a 29-year-old Englishwoman doing her medical residency in Hobart, working too hard, worried about her bank balance, and living with friends. It's a good life, and getting even better, because as the dawn is breaking on New Year's Day, Lexi is about to kiss the man she loves for the very first time. But by midnight, everything will change. Because Lexi is in fact not an ordinary young woman. She is Princess Alexandrina, third in line to the British throne - albeit estranged from the rest of her family and living in voluntary exile on the other side of the world.

Called back to do her duty, she arrives in London to a Palace riven with power plays and media leaks, all the while guarding painful secrets of her own. Palace waters are treacherous, rumours are rife, and selling each other's secrets is a family tradition. And with the Crown just within her grasp, Lexi must choose what bonds she will keep ... and what she is willing to leave behind.

And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous . . . and who better to play the girlfriend role than his sassy new neighbour? Despite Diana's reluctance to break her rule, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can't deny something is sizzling between her and Shane. Something hot and completely unexpected. And it might just be getting a little too real. *** Why fans love Elle Kennedy ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! 'Delicious, complicated and drama-filled . . .

'Smart, funny, and driven by unforgettable characters ... a must-read' Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry ' A rip-roaring adventure of found family, complex sisterhood and tested moral compasses' Sunday Times 'Pure hell-raising entertainment' New York Times ' The biggest publishing event of the year' Mirror 'Exquisite storytelling ... a joyful, heartbreaking, heartwarming read. I loved it so much' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things “You give a girl a taste of fresh air and then you take it away—she’ll grow fierce and wild to get it back.” Oxford, Mississippi, 1933. Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one. Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she’s been one of the 'unadoptable' girls at the town’s orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed. When she meets Birdie , a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg’s future. But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister’s charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose. Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women. But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences … Bold, heartwarming, and riotously funny, The Calamity Club is an unforgettable story of resilience and friendship, and a sisterhood of underestimated women who risk everything to take back control of their fates.

"A meditation on the 'art of reading' . . . [and] a celebration of 'the reader's whims—trust in pleasure and faith in haphazardness.'" — The New Yorker Here are thirty-nine reflections on the joy and solace of reading by the internationally celebrated author Alberto Manguel, who is widely considered one of the world's great readers. Narratives of Jonah, Homer, and Dante; topics ranging from Pinocchio to comics, from Borges to Che Guevara; and especially Lewis Carroll's Alice books animate this extraordinary literary journey. Whether he is writing about censorship or intellectual curiosity, the art of translation or the history of the page, the ideal reader or those numinous memory palaces we call libraries, Manguel shows how words lend coherence to the world and offer us "a few safe places, as real as paper and as bracing as ink, to grant us roof and board in our passage through the dark and nameless wood." "Essays of this quality are worth reading, or rereading, wherever they are encountered." —John Gross, The New York Review of Books "'There are,' writes Manguel, 'certain books that, in themselves, are an ideal library.' This book might be one of them." —Ángel Gurría-Quintana, Financial Times "Many famous authors have extolled the pleasures of the printed page, of course, but to my mind none in recent years has done it so expertly or eloquently as Alberto Manguel. Happily, a collection of his best literary meditations is now on offer, A Reader on Reading , and it is a must for book lovers." —John Sledge, Mobile Press-Register

Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Or does he? An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could imagine it, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian -- while taking us to places it never dreamed of going. ________________________________________ 'One of the most original, compelling, and fun voyages I've ever taken.' ERNEST CLINE, author of Ready Player One and Ready Player Two 'Undisputedly the best book I've read in a very, very long time. Mark my words: Project Hail Mary is destined to become a classic.' BLAKE CROUCH 'Andy Weir's brilliant Project Hail Mary ...is one of those stirring sci-fi novels about every government on Earth banding together, through science, to save civilisation from collapse. I loved it.' THE TIMES 'A suspenseful portrait of human ingenuity and resilience [that] builds to an unexpectedly moving ending. A winner.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Weir returns with gusto . . . his writing flows naturally, and his characters and dialogue crackle with energy. With this novel, he takes his place as a genuine star in the mainstream SF world.' BOOKLIST
