Vaseem Khan
"Khan has crafted a cunning and propulsive thriller brimming with wit. A sparkling addition to Bond's literary universe."
The House of Wolf (2025)
(House of Aethelwolf, book 1)
Tony Robinson
"A compelling historical epic, rich in character and detail. Every bit as wise, witty and hugely entertaining as you would expect from one of our greatest storytellers. I can't wait for the next in the series."
Blood Like Mine (2024)
(Blood , book 1)
Stuart Neville
"Blood Like Mine is Stuart Neville at his considerable best. A shocking and powerful thriller that is as moving as it is gripping. This is a book you will not forget in a hurry and which will leave you hungry for the next instalment."
