Bandit the dog, Tinker the cat, and Pirate the rabbit were once ordinary pets—until they became WE3, government-engineered cyborg assassins with terrifying firepower. When the trio is slated for decommission, they escape, embarking on a desperate journey to find “home” in a world that now sees them as weapons of mass destruction. Relentlessly pursued by their creators and hunted by terrifying new cyber-enhanced foes, WE3 must rely on their instincts, their bond, and their enhanced abilities to survive. This gripping tale of loyalty, survival, and the cost of freedom will leave readers breathless and deeply moved. This volume collects We3 #1-3.

Buck, a loving and docile St. Bernard mix becomes forcibly changed when he is nabbed from his home in sunny California and sold into service as an Alaskan sled dog. Forced to endure the harsh climate of the Yukon backcountry, Buck becomes progressively more savage in an effort to stay alive among the other dogs in the pack. Relying on primal instincts, Buck emerges as an intimidating and fearless leader in the wild. Jack London's most famous tale is a stark reminder of how important it is to trust one's instincts. Though examined through the eyes of a dog, The Call of The Wild is a tale far greater than that of a life lived on four paws. London's intention is clear: When faced with dire and inhumane conditions, there is nothing left to do but revert to a wild state fight to stay alive.

From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, Sledghammer is a blistering, high-stakes thriller about redemption, sacrifice, and how far one man will go for family. Mack Holland might as well have the word "former" tattooed across his chest. He's a former Green Beret. A former CIA Ground Branch Team Leader. A former husband. A former father. At least his dog, Blue, still appreciates him. But when a black SUV with government plates crunches down the gravel driveway of his remote backwoods home, Mack's quiet, post-operator life is shattered. The G-man who steps out brings news Mack never expected to hear: his daughter Lindsey, officially dead and buried for five years, is alive. And she's being held hostage in Syria. With his frozen heart suddenly ablaze with hope, Mack reassembles his old Counter Terrorism team from Ground Branch. The mission is nearly impossible but so is stopping a father on a rescue. As the team plunges into enemy territory, Mack's resolve--and his aging body--are pushed to the limit. Because bringing his daughter home will cost far more than he ever imagined.

No. For this misanthropic crusader against an America fallen into vice and ignorance has a mission: to rescue a naked female philosopher in distress. And he has a pirate costume and hot-dog cart to do it with . . . _____________ 'I succumbed, stunned and seduced, page after page, vocal with delight.

'Masterful . . . superior entertainment that makes most other novels of suspense appear dull and slow-witted by comparison' Publishers Weekly What should have been a simple pick-up turns into a day-long nightmare for Bad Sam Chapman. When an operational catastrophe puts a gun in the hands of a young man, who then breaks into South Oxford Nursery School and takes a group of hostages, teacher Louise Kennedy fears the worst. But Jaime Segura isn't there on a homicidal mission, and he's just as scared as those whose lives he holds as collateral. As an armed police presence builds outside the school's gates, Bad Sam Chapman - head of the intelligence service's internal security force, the Dogs - battles the clock to find out what Jaime is after. But the only person Jaime will talk to is Ben Whistler, an MI6 accountant who worked with Jaime's lover, Miro. Miro's gone missing, along with a quarter of a billion pounds allotted for reconstruction work in Iraq. Jaime refuses to believe that Miro is a thief - though he's always had his secrets. But then, so does Louise, so do the other hostages - and so do some people on the outside, who'd much rather Jaime was silenced.

'For all its sound and fury, Doge achieved no meaningful cuts. Taking its false economies into account, Doge might even have added to the US deficit. Yet as Michael Lewis sets out in his commendable new book, Blockers, the effects of Doge's 18-week storm will be felt for years to come... Those who want to know about how this is being done and what is at stake should read Lewis's exemplary volume' - Financial Times A wild ride through the destruction of the American government - and the unsung heroes who tried to stop it - by the No. 1 bestselling author of The Big Short In early 2025, an army of young men invaded the offices of US government. Armed with laptops and sleeping bags, a raft of prejudices and a bulletproof sense of mission instilled in them by their new boss, Elon Musk, the tech bro acolytes of DOGE were on a mission to seek and destroy, by any means necessary. But once inside, they came up against a group of people whose courage, commitment and in some cases lifelong devotion to the nation they served would quickly earn them the wrath of Musk. He called them Blockers. Find the Blockers, Musk told his band of worshipful young men - and eliminate them. Blockers is the story of the unsung heroes at the heart of the most complex and powerful machine ever designed by humankind, who fought back when DOGE, and then even darker forces, wanted to smash it all up. One kept Americans' most sensitive tax data out of the wrong hands, another made sure that politicians and civil servants played by the rules. One figured out how to stop wildfires from destroying suburban neighbourhoods, another delivered the cure to cystic fibrosis. There was also a security guard. This is a thriller about unlikely rebels and power-drunk villains. It is also a cautionary tale that asks, what do we do when the idea of public service becomes worthless? When the things we didn't even realise we were taking for granted suddenly no longer exist. When we don't know what we've got until it's gone.

I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.

Only he doesn't know the truth. That I'm haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I've come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice. The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission.

NICK BAKER'Immediately accessible.'

An archaeologist travels to a distant planet to spend time among a mysterious community, a people who live in temperature-controlled domes, worship a deity called Dog, and repeat an elliptical phrase from which they draw their name: mulai, the tree comes. The descendants of a long-forgotten space mission, the Mulai have abandoned the social norms that once bound them to Earth. Over centuries of isolation, their language has become more about change than stability, and the ways they eat, write, reproduce, bury their dead and understand gender have all transformed into something almost unrecognizable. As the archaeologist records his attempts to understand their world - a strange negative of our own - questions of translation, meaning-making and the ultimate precarity of civilization come to the fore. Drawing on Borges, Le Guin and Calvino, The Mulai is a mind-bending work of metafiction whose interlocking puzzles resound with Munir Hachemi's singularly playful and eclectic style.Text copyright Munir Hachemi, 2023.Published by agreement with Casanovas & Lynch Literary Agency.Translation copyright Julia Sanches, 2026
