Conn Iggulden
Wolf of the Plains
Temujin, the second son of the khan of the Wolves tribe, was only eleven when his father died in an ambush. His family were thrown out of the tribe and left to starve to death on the harsh Mongolian plains. It was a rough introduction to a sudden adult world, but Temujin survived. A man, a small family, without a tribe was always at risk but he gathered other outsiders to him, creating a new tribal identity. It was during some of his worst times that the image of uniting the warring tribes and bringing the silver people together came to him. He would become the khan of the sea of grass - Genghis.

H.R.F. Keating
One Man And His Bomb
Late one afternoon, Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens and her husband get a phone call that changes their lives: Their twin sons, Graham and Malcolm, who had made Harriet proud by following in her footsteps into the police force, have been the victims of what appears to be a terrorist booby-trap. Graham is dead and Malcolm is in hospital, gravely injured. An organization of Indian terrorists take the blame, allegedly fighting against all forms of Western Imperialism. Harriet is overwhelmed by grief, so her boss, deciding that work will help her cope, gives her a sensitive solo assignment: to probe the theft of a genetically modified herbicide from Heronsgate House, an agricultural research station situated right on the outskirts of Birchester. This bioweapon could decimate Europe's agricultural crops and, in terrorist hands, cause widespread panic and death....

Alan Furst
The Foreign Correspondent
Paris: December, 1938. Journalist Carlo Weisz, an expatriate Italian who is half Slav, is fighting the Mussolini regime by writing for the Paris-based underground opposition newspaper, the Liberazione. When agents of the OVRA, the Italian secret police, murder the Liberazione's editor in the arms of his mistress, Weisz assumes greater responsibility for keeping the paper running. OVRA targets Weisz and his surviving colleagues, forcing him to scramble to stay alive while continuing his subversive work ... Through the exploits of his understated hero, Alan Furst presents a potent portrait of Europe on the eve of World War 11.
