mission darkness

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER An "urgent [and] ingenious" (The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice) novel of rupture and repair in the digital age, delving into a hidden world deep under the ocean-from the acclaimed author of Apeirogon and Let the Great World Spin "The spirit of Joseph Conrad hovers over the text, but here the heart of darkness lies at the bottom of the ocean."-Salman Rushdie A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, BookPage "Everything gets fixed, and we all stay broken." Anthony Fennell, an Irish journalist and playwright, is assigned to cover the underwater cables that carry the world's information. The sum of human existence-words, images, transactions, memes, voices, viruses-travels through the tiny fiber-optic tubes. But sometimes the tubes break, at an unfathomable depth. Fennell's journey brings him to the west coast of Africa, where he uncovers a story about the raw human labor behind the dazzling veneer of the technological world. He meets a fellow Irishman, John Conway, the chief of mission on a cable repair ship. The mysterious Conway is a skilled engineer and a freediver capable of reaching extraordinary depths. He is also in love with a South African actress, Zanele, who must leave to go on her own literary adventure to London. When the ship is sent up the coast to repair a series of major underwater breaks, both men learn that the very cables they seek to fix carry the news that may cause their lives to unravel. At sea, they are forced to confront the most elemental questions of life, love, absence, belonging, and the perils of our severed connections. Can we, in our fractured world, reweave ourselves out of the thin, broken threads of our pasts? Can the ruptured things awaken us from our despair? Resoundingly simple and turbulent at the same time, Twist is a meditation on the nature of narrative and truth from one of the great storytellers of our times.

The first in a sweeping and epic debut fantasy trilogy—set in a stunning Latinx-inspired world—about a face-changing thief and a risk-taking prince who must team up to defeat a powerful evil they accidentally unleashed. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi and Sabaa Tahir. To Finn Voy, magic is two things: a knife to hold under the chin of anyone who crosses her…and a disguise she shrugs on as easily as others pull on cloaks. As a talented faceshifter, it’s been years since Finn has seen her own face, and that’s exactly how she likes it. But when Finn gets caught by a powerful mobster, she’s forced into an impossible mission: steal a legendary treasure from Castallan’s royal palace or be stripped of her magic forever. After the murder of his older brother, Prince Alfehr is first in line for the Castallan throne. But Alfie can’t help but feel that he will never live up to his brother’s legacy. Riddled with grief, Alfie is obsessed with finding a way to bring his brother back, even if it means dabbling in forbidden magic. But when Finn and Alfie’s fates collide, they accidentally unlock a terrible, ancient power—which; if not contained, will devour the world. And with Castallan’s fate in their hands, Alfie and Finn must race to vanquish what they have unleashed, even if it means facing the deepest darkness in their pasts. Enemies to Lovers: A face-changing thief who trusts no one. A grieving prince who trusts the wrong kind of magic. When they’re forced to team up, sparks fly and loyalties are tested. Forbidden Magic: To save his murdered brother, Prince Alfehr will risk dabbling in the darkest of spells—even if it costs him his throne, and his soul. Unique Magic System: Explore the world of Castallan, where everyone has an affinity for an element, but only a rare few are born with a propio—a personal, and sometimes dangerous, magical ability. Morally Grey Characters: He’ll do anything to bring his family back. She’ll do anything to survive. When their desperate paths collide, they’ll have to decide who to save: themselves, or the world.

Brigitte Knightley, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy 'This book is a g*d damn masterpiece.' ***** Reader review ------------------------------------------------------------- The first book in a new dark, seductive and all-consuming fantasy series, in which a human commander and the masked enemy interrogator sent to break her are drawn into a slow-burn, dangerous bond - one that could end a fifteen-year war or ignite something far deadlier. Vordell was beautiful once. Its people lived in harmony as they harnessed the power of light - until darkness came. The Iron Sky smothered the suns, the earth split, releasing vicious creatures, and the long-buried Dar'rak reclaimed the world above. A high-ranking commander, Soraya Tollmere has spent most of her life on the front lines of the brutal war that followed. By day, she leads covert missions across ruined lands through enemy territory. By night, she meets with a Dar'rak defector who has kept humanity alive with his steady stream of secrets. But when a lead that could turn the tide of the war draws her into enemy territory, Soraya is captured by The Demon, the Dar'rak's most feared soldier. His orders are simple: break the human commander and uncover humanity's greatest weapon. As devastating truths unravel and loyalties blur, Soraya must decide who to trust in a world where light is dying... and where her greatest enemy may be her only salvation. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PRAISE FOR UNDER THE IRON SKY . . .

But something new and evil is stalking him. As the Skin Walkers seek to take command of a new century, they need Quentin at their side. Just as the prophecy foretold... 2. Blood Dance by Stephen Mark Rainey "I knew instantly that a dangerous power was at work here..." The year is 1929, and Quentin Collins finds himself in Chicago, captivated by the city's energy and the prospect of a new love. Drawn into the twilight world of speakeasies and organized crime at the Arcadia Club, he becomes embroiled with owner Chandres Tessier - an enigmatic woman to whom he is inexorably drawn, but who hides a dark secret... 3. London's Burning by Joseph Lidster 1941: As bombs fall on the city of London, Quentin Collins is reunited with his old friend, Rose. Trapped in an Underground station, she claims to have no memory of him. So he tells her how they met... 1906: Music hall star Rosie Fay is the talk of the town. But what connects her to the cases of spontaneous human combustion plaguing London's ladies of the night? And why is Quentin so interested in the song she sings? 4. The Creeping Fog by Simon Guerrier London, 1941. Quentin Collins need not fear the bombing because he is immortal, but there's much else to be scared of. The voices of his past will not rest. They are the ghosts of those he's lost. And there are other voices... A creeping fog reaching out to him... Taking refuge in an old museum will not help Quentin either, for the museum has ghosts of its own. More voices reaching out through the darkness... 5. Operation Victor by Jonathan Morris "As the saying goes, all's fair in love and war." Immortal wanderer Quentin Collins has done his best to stay on the sidelines of the Second World War, but now he's been recruited by the British Secret Service. His mission: to infiltrate the castle of Professor Moloch in the heart of the Black Forest. For the Third Reich is hiding a dark secret - Moloch has been dabbling in the occult, and he's reached out to some very dark forces indeed. Will Quentin be able to stop him? And does dashing agent Sally Green have a score of her own to settle? 6. The Haunted Refrain by Aaron Lamont "Nobody here now. Nobody but me and them. Can't you hear them? Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch..." Barbara loves her husband and their new home. But something is missing from her life. Something she can't explain... Until, one day, she finds it. An old gramophone sits in the attic. And, on it, she hears the voice of man called Quentin Collins. A voice that talks back to her, begging her for help. Something has trapped the soul of Quentin Collins. But he isn't alone... 7. The Darkest Shadow by Nev Fountain "I am Olivia Corey, the eternal actress. I've lived my whole life in two dimensions. Perhaps I prefer it that way." Olivia Corey has been offered the role of her life. They're making a movie called The Curse of Collinwood by Mr D Curtis. Apparently it's based on a true story about an old house in Maine where all manner of terrible things happen. Olivia is offered the role of 'Amanda Harris', a woman created from a painting, destined to fall in love with a cursed man, destined to roam the Earth to find him again. How could she refuse? After all, it's the part she was born to play... 8. Panic by Roy Gill "The further into the antique shop she explored, the darker it seemed to get, until Lela couldn't see the walls at all..." Lela Quick is a busy woman. She's got essays to mark, journals to edit, books to write...
