Danny Pearson is trying to build a normal life. He's got a house in Walthamstow, a permanent role at Greenwood Security, and the scars from his last mission are finally starting to fade. But when a British intelligence officer calls in a favour, Danny is sent to Vienna on what should be a simple retrieval job - pick up a package, bring it home.

Nothing about it is simple.

The package contains evidence of a global conspiracy: a shadowy group known only as 'the board' has been quietly seizing control of the world's most powerful energy companies. Hydrogen power, battery technology, oil - they're buying it all, and anyone who gets in their way disappears. A journalist is dead in Hong Kong. A British agent has been murdered. And now a lethal contract killer known as the Chinaman - a ghost who uses ancient weapons and leaves no trace - is hunting Danny and the one woman who can expose the truth.

From a pirate attack in the Gulf of Aden to a deadly pursuit through the streets of Vienna, from the corridors of Whitehall to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and a firefight in the mountains of Montana, Danny is drawn into a web of power, betrayal, and murder that reaches into the highest levels of government on both sides of the Atlantic.

With MI6 compromised and enemies closing in from every direction, Danny must rely on his lethal SAS training, his closest allies, and his own instincts to survive - and to stop a conspiracy that could reshape the balance of global power forever.

Who Holds The Power is the third instalment in the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. A globe-trotting, high-stakes thriller with a chilling villain, explosive action, and a conspiracy that will keep you guessing until the final page.

Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy.

Today's Kentucky Derby is a multimillion-dollar spectacle involving corporate sponsorship, worldwide media coverage, and an annual citywide festival in Louisville. Over its nearly century-and-a-half history, the Kentucky Derby has grown to be one of the biggest sporting events of the year, attracting 150,000 spectators at the track and nearly 15 million television viewers on the first Saturday each May.

But 1875, the year of the first Derby, was a different time. The Louisville Jockey Club track, which would one day bear the name "Churchill Downs," was a small structure that might, on its best day, provide seating and standing room for 12,000 spectators. The grandstand was plain and functional and included a section reserved for bookmakers, whose trade was legal and who operated in the open. Perhaps most significantly, the majority of jockeys in the race were Black, in stark contrast to the present-day Derby, where participation by African-American jockeys is rare.

In The First Kentucky Derby, racing historian Mark Shrager examines the events leading up to the first "Run for the Roses," the unsuccessful effort that the winning owner might have made to rig the race for his preferred horse, and the prominent role played by African Americans in Gilded Age racing culture--a holdover from pre-emancipation days, when slaves were trained from birth to ride for their wealthy owners and grew up surrounded by the horses that would be their life's work.

Two-Thirds Water is a collection of fly-fishing essays covering Arnie Sabatelli's broad and varied lifetime experience of fishing all kinds of waters, salt and freshwater, from remote Adirondack ponds to the Long Island Sound, Bahamian flats, Michigan steelhead rivers, and tiny streams high in the mountains of Mexico.

Fly fishing for Arnie is such a meaningful pursuit and through it, in the quiet time on the waters and the reflection and introspection that follow, Arnie contemplates the presence of water within and around us to come to a deeper understanding of who he is and what matters.

In these essays, whether he's praising the raw, muscularity of catching bluefish, enjoying the solitude of hiking into remote places to fish from a canoe, looking at quantum physics to address nuanced dimensions of catching fish with a fly, or using fishing memories to express feelings of personal loss, Arnie reaches for and grasps the mystery and beauty at the heart of fly fishing.

The collection will inspire you to look more fully at the world around you, especially the fish-filled waters covering two-thirds of our planet.

The story begins with Frank and Joe Hardy barely avoiding being hit by a speeding driver, who they notice has bright red hair. Later, this same red-haired driver attempts a ferry boat ticket office robbery and successfully steals a yellow jalopy called Queen from the Hardys' friend, Chet Morton. Due to one witness reporting that the villain had dark hair, the Hardys assume he is using a red wig. It is learned that the thief returned to Chet's home to steal a tire, helping Frank and Joe to find Queen abandoned in a public wooded area.

The excitement of finding Queen is quickly gone when it is reported that there has been a robbery of forty thousand dollars in securities and jewels from the Tower Mansion owned by siblings Hurd and Adelia Applegate. Hurd Applegate is convinced that the Tower's caretaker, Henry Robinson, is the guilty party. The Hardys are especially concerned by this accusation, because Henry's son, Perry, is a friend of theirs who will have to quit school to work since his father can no longer get a job as a result of Applegate's accusation. The only "proof" of Henry Robinson's guilt is that he was suddenly able to pay off a debt and refused to reveal where he got the money to do so.

The Hardys suspect that the red-haired man may be involved with the Tower robbery and search the place where The Queen was found, finding the red wig. The Hardys' dad, detective Fenton Hardy, learns that the wig was manufactured in New York City. Fenton Hardy goes to New York and learns of a criminal named John "Red" Jackley who is fond of using disguises. Soon, Jackley is injured in a railroad handcar accident, causing him to be hospitalized. About to die, Jackley confesses that he committed the Tower Mansion robbery and put the loot "in the old tower..." Jackley dies before he is able to explain further. Jackley is a tall man with dark hair.

A series of reflections surveying the events of an ailing country traversed by civil war on multiple fronts.

What is it to be Black in America? It is to be constantly given unsolicited advice on how to run your life by people of all stripes, cultures, races, and opinions, so that the message is, by its very design, inconsistent with itself. However, there is one common feature that unites them all, besides their arrogant insistence to respond to what no one has asked of them: you can be sure that not one of these philistines has read--let alone understood--a single line of Plato. It is with this guiding insight that the author seeks to think his own material existence and resolves that philosophy must implicate itself in the utter demise of the alienated and oppressive wasteland in which he has been thrown.

Are you done with reels that show moms who make it look so easy when some mornings you don't even manage to get your hair brushed before taking your kids to school?

Have you ever been mom shamed for something you've done or haven't done for your children? Or have you-even unintentionally-mom shamed someone else?

Are you tired of the unrealistic expectations of motherhood that is portrayed all over social media? The truth is, momming isn't about having it all figured out. No mom has it all figured out.

Instagram Moms are Full of Sh*t, To Hell With Mom Shaming shows the honest, often chaotic, realities of being a mom, and knowing that in all the wonderful craziness, they are doing a great job!

Writing from personal experience and input from other moms, Lesley Prosko, mother of two little ones, takes an in-depth look at some of the most common mom-shaming themes, considering cultural, generational, historical, and parenting style differences, including:
- birth plans
- breastfeeding vs formula
- vaccinations
- child sleep habits
- working mom vs stay-at-home mom
- exercising while pregnant
- navigating screen time
- and more

Told with insight, humour, and sporadic sarcasm, this practical resource is designed to help real moms stop comparing themselves to other moms who want the world to think that every day is a great one-because those moms are full of sh*t.

In Congress's Cryptographer: A Novel of James Lovell and the American Revolution, Jean C. O'Connor highlights an extraordinary moment in US history.

The historical fiction novel, Congress's Cryptographer, based on primary source research, tells a true story of James Lovell's years in Congress during the American Revolution. A biographical portrait of a forgotten founding father, Lovell is our first Foreign Affairs Secretary, writing to Adams, Franklin, and other diplomats. In this inspirational story, James Lovell's previous prison experiences in British jails, both in Boston and Halifax, fuel his desire to help the American cause. He befriends Abigail and John Adams, and works with Lafayette, Benjamin Franklin, General Nathanael Greene, and General Washington. Knowledgeable in cipher and cryptography, he instructs diplomats in the use of his keyword cipher and breaks British code, an invaluable feat.

Decoding an intercepted letter penned by British General Cornwallis while surrounded by Americans and French at Yorktown, Lovell opens a window into the depleted state of the British army for American generals. The ups and downs of the Americans during the Revolutionary War, the struggles of the Continental Army and of Congress, make this enlightening war fiction. Images of James Lovell's cipher included Congress's Cryptographer offer a glimpse into the world of the American Revolution, where a spy, a code, or a secret could change everything.

James Lovell is honored in the 2023 inductees to the Cryptologic Hall of Honor at the National Security Agency for his work deciphering British code and for promoting cipher. He is called "Congress's one-man NSA for the Revolution."

On the morning of July 4, 1910, thousands of boxing fans stormed a newly built stadium in Reno, Nevada, to witness an epic showdown. Jack Johnson, the world's first Black heavyweight champion--and most infamous athlete in the world because of his race--was paired against Jim Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion then heralded as the "great white hope." It was the height of the Jim Crow era, and spectators were eager for Jeffries to restore the racial hierarchy that Johnson had pummeled with his quick fists.

Transporting readers directly into the ring, artist Youssef Daoudi and poet Adrian Matejka intersperse dramatic boxing action with vivid flashbacks to reveal how Johnson, the self-educated son of formerly enslaved parents, reached the pinnacle of sport--all while facing down a racist justice system. Through a combination of breathtaking illustrations and striking verse, Last on His Feet honors a contentious civil rights figure who has for more than a century been denied his proper due.
