Halo

"2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters, but in the way lies humanity's greatest champion, the super-soldier Spartan John-117--the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as 'Halo' at the hands of the Master Chief"--Back cover.

The New York Times bestselling aftermath of Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters, but in the way lies humanity’s greatest champion, the super-soldier Spartan John-117—the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as “Halo” at the hands of the Master Chief. One faction—a squad of Spartans lead by Blue Team’s Fred-104 and Kelly-087—is trapped on the glassed surface of Reach, the only planet they’ve ever known as home. And beneath this ruined world, Dr. Catherine Halsey has discovered an ancient secret...one that could alter the course of the war. Meanwhile, the Master Chief and Cortana lead a second group toward a gathering of Covenant warships, as the United Nations Space Command’s worst nightmare has finally come true: the Covenant has discovered the location of Earth and is forming a massive fleet to utterly destroy it, as well as all who oppose the indomitable will of the Prophets…

Halo: First Strike: Volume 3

Discover the chilling new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Murder Road and The Sun Down Motel, a terrifying ghost story about the scariest place of all - home. 'From the book's chillingly creepy setting... to a nerve-jangling plot... to the writing itself... everything about St. James' latest is done to perfection." Booklist -- It all started with a game of hide and seek. The four Esmie children were playing together when the youngest brother, Ben, went off to hide, and was never seen again. That was long ago. It's been eighteen years since the siblings fled their childhood home, Fell House, the one that holds all the ghosts of the past. They've built separate lives, but all of them carry the psychological scars of that fateful day. But then Violet receives a call from the house's caretaker. He's too scared to keep working there. He says he saw the spirit of a young boy whispering two words . . . Come home. -- PRAISE FOR SIMONE ST JAMES "As creepy and unsettling as a rain-faded wreath and teddy bear found by the side of the road to mark a missing person, [it] lingers like a ghost long after it's finished." Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of How to Sell a Haunted House "From its terrifying opening to its jaw-dropping conclusion, this thriller has it all-small town secrets, ominous dark deeds after midnight. You will follow this shocking road to its climatic end!" Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Still See You Everywhere 'Fast, chilling, entertaining, unexpectedly touching, and with two broken, memorable characters at its core' New York Times Book Review'Clever and wonderfully chilling. It held me hostage' Fiona Barton

The stunning new book club novel about the power of female friendship

Love By The Book

"A magnificent debut" (Laila Lalami) that explores loneliness and community, religion and repression, and the pleasure and pain of womanhood. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Debutiful, Lit Hub, Chicago Review of Books, and Autostraddle By turns tender and irreverent, the 11 genre-bending stories in Please Don't Touch the Body are thrillingly concerned with the devastation-and power-of being alive today. In the collection's first story, a Japanese woman finds healing in a secret life as a sex advice columnist after being fetishized by her white husband for decades. In the fourth story, Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a puppy and must cope with being squeezed, dropped, and controlled by his young, queer owner. And in "Thank You No Thank You," a young woman grapples with the rules she learned in her religious childhood, the freedoms of her new and more liberal life, and her actual desires as she vacations with her long-term boyfriend. Together these inventive, emotionally rich stories reveal an incredible new vision and "a writer to watch" (Rita Chang-Eppig).

"A magnificent debut" (Laila Lalami) that explores loneliness and community, religion and repression, and the pleasure and pain of womanhood.

Please Don't Touch the Body

'A comedy about tragedy. Séamas O'Reilly has written a brutal, profound, and very funny novel' NINA STIBBE 'Prestige Drama is bristlingly funny, richly humane . . . Séamas O'Reilly is a writer with a rare and vital comic gift' MARK O'CONNELL 'Séamas is one of my favourite living writers. Honestly - there is nobody else who could write a book like this about tragedy, loss and who gets to tell a story, with such deft and moving wit' EVA WISEMAN Derry is already abuzz with news that famous American actor, Monica Logue, has flown to the city and will be starring in a new series set during the Troubles. And then she goes missing . . . All eyes are on Diarmuid, the flaky scriptwriter who was the last to see Monica alive. From budding young actors hoping for a role to grieving parent whose story forms the backbone of the narrative; newspaper editors covering the mystery to taxi drivers hearing all the news from their clients, Prestige Drama follows the city's cast as they all try to locate themselves in Monica's disappearance. Séamas O'Reilly's debut novel is a comedy about dramatising tragedy, and the responsibilities of a teller to a tale. It brings to life the voices of a city, the people, families and communities who find themselves obsessed with, and terrified of, interrogating their past.

the ‘hilarious and profound’ debut novel from the bestselling author of Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?

Prestige Drama

Fünf Leben, in denen sich die jüngste europäische Geschichte widerspiegelt

Bosnien Anfang der 90er. Fünf Personen treten vor die Bühne: Zwei Bosniaken, zwei Serben und eine Kroatin. Eindrucksvoll erzählen sie von der Tragik, dem Zauber und den Sehnsüchten in ihrer Heimat. Dabei kreisen ihre Gedanken stets um Familien, um Liebe und ums Überleben. 
"Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last" vereint diese fünf bewegenden Novellen, die von vielschichtigen Lebensschicksalen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien erzählen. Mit eindringlicher Kraft und sprachlicher Präzision gelingt es Karsten Dümmel, individuelle Erfahrungen von Krieg, Flucht, Verlust und Identität zusammenzuführen und dem Unsagbaren eine Stimme zu geben. Zwischen Zerbrechlichkeit und Widerstandskraft ensteht so ein Raum für Erinnerung und Mitgefühl. Ein Buch, das Brücken schlagen kann und dem Vergessen mutig entgegentritt.
