The enemy is in our waters . . .

July 1941

Having left England to join his father in the South Africa, Lieutenant Jack Pembroke has found a new home – and a new love – in Cape Town and is put in command of a small, anti-submarine flotilla at the Royal Navy base in Simonstown. He has precious little time to train his men, and prepare his ships, for the arrival of deadly Nazi wolf packs – U-boats sent by Admiral Dönitz from bases in France to cripple the Cape convoy route. With the Mediterranean all-but closed to maritime traffic, and Rommel’s forces rampaging through North Africa, this sea route is vital to supplying Allied forces in Egypt at a critical point in World War II.

Everything will hang in the balance with the arrival of the enemy in South African waters. Gruppe Savanne comprises five long-range Uboats under the command of Fregattenkapitän Wolfgang Brand, a hardened veteran, who will stretch the Cape’s defences to the limit. On board he carries a South African spy and ardent Nazi, who is to be landed on the West Coast to start a campaign of sabotage, assassination and rebellion bent on toppling the pro-British government of Prime Minister Jan Smuts.

With the spy safely ashore, and the Cape Peninsula under attack, Jack must now escort a convoy to Durban with the U-boat pack lying in wait. So begins a cat-and-mouse game that will push Jack and his men to breaking point. The Wolf Hunt is the second book in the thrilling Jack Pembroke series, each of which is a stand-alone story.

Detective Isaac Bell faces an attack on the Federal Reserve in this all-new adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Clive Cussler.

1914: As America’s century of dominance dawns, the country’s greatest detective, Van Dorn agent Isaac Bell, is pitted against a master thief and his assassin accomplice. They’re plotting to pull off the greatest heist in America’s history: the theft of a billion dollars from the newly created Federal Reserve.

When an aerial attack is launched against Woodrow Wilson’s yacht during a meeting among the Federal Reserve’s branch leaders, Bell thwarts it, only to find that the strike was just the opening of an even deadlier gambit. It’s up to Bell to find the link between the attack, the mysterious death of a Newport heiress, and growing evidence of an unimaginably audacious heist.

Double-cross and betrayal are Bell’s stock and trade, but this time, the deeper he delves into the puzzle, the less he seems to understand. He is in a race against his most ruthless opponent yet, to prevent a financial panic that would bring the United States to its knees.

Willem Pretorius is een van ons voorste skilders wat die Suid-Afrikaanse platteland vasvat met soortgelyke patos as Walter Meyer, aan wie alle skilders in hierdie genre hulde bring. Sy skilderye is amper foto-realisties maar inspireer tog ʼn sekere gevoel van nostalgie na ʼn verlore onskuld, na die sogenaamde goeie ou dae wat nie vir almal goed was nie. Daar is ook ʼn afstandelikheid, ʼn gebrek aan kommentaar: Die landskap spreek vir homself.

Die boek bevat kleurafdrukke, professioneel gefotografeer, van sy 50 jongste werke, ʼn goeie mengsel van sy gebruiklike onderwerpe: huise, treine, versaakte swembaddens, landskappe, ou karre en gekrokte bakkies, plattelandse winkels, huise en dorpstonele, ensovoorts.

Elke skildery is begelei deur ʼn skryfsel van ʼn bekende skrywer, musikant, digter of skilder. Dis nie ʼn beskrywing of tegniese ontleding van die skildery nie, eerder vry assosiasie, ʼn kort kortverhaal, ʼn herinneringskets. Elk is ongeveer 500 woorde en beslaan dus nie meer as een bladsy nie; die bladsy langs die skildery wat dit geïnspireer het.

Although the theory is based on material used in the USA and other overseas universities, South African students will be able to identify with the local examples, TV programmes and other mass media, and the political and social experiences referred to in this title, many of which have been localised to reflect the South African context. Beginner students majoring in communication studies as well as those who are studying towards various degrees or qualifications where communication is a prerequisite, will find this title useful. In addition to interpersonal, group and mass communication, there is an extensive chapter on public speaking, which takes into account that many professionals today have to address their colleagues and business associates in order to succeed in their profession. Public speaking in this sense is a skill required by most graduates in any job or profession, and the chapter is pitched at these requirements as well as at speaking to larger audiences. The title is divided into two parts. The first provides students with a strong foundation of communication, while the second focuses on the areas of specialisation within communication studies. In addition, each chapter starts with the learning outcomes and a short overview of the chapter. Students may monitor their learning with the summaries and 'test yourself' questions at the end of every chapter. Scenarios provide examples of how the theory can be applied in practice.

A powerful historical drama about a young woman’s fight to chart her own destiny, challenging norms for women of the time, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

Born in Paris in 1900, at the dawn of a new century, Alexandra Bouvier was raised believing that, with hard work and dedication, she can achieve anything. But when World War One erupts across Europe, coupled with the fast-spreading Spanish flu, Alex’s world is upended, and by age eighteen, she has already suffered unimaginable losses.

Bravely setting sail for a new life in America, Alex is taken in by her last living relative, her American grandfather. He owns a small but respected Illinois newspaper, and agrees with her modern ideas, despite the restrictions imposed on women of the time.

With his support, Alex attends university and her journalistic talent secures her an internship with a New York newspaper, where she meets crime reporter Oliver Foster. The two are drawn to each other, though both fear any attachment, and Alex is determined to remain true to her ambitions.

By doing so, Alex is not only following her own dreams, but changing history for other women of her day, and all those who will come after her.

“We thank you for the inspiration and strength

That you have given to Madiba,

Enabling him, over so many years, to draw out the best in others,

rousing us always, by word and example,

to seek the highest good for every child of this nation.”

So prayed Archbishop Thabo Makgoba with Nelson Mandela in his home in 2009 at the request of Graca Machel. This marked the start of an unusual relationship between southern Africa’s Anglican leader and Mandela in his quietening years. Join Makgoba in his journey towards faith, from his boyhood in Alex as the son of a ZCC pastor to Bishopscourt and praying with Mandela. He shares his feelings about his pastoral approach to the world icon, and how they influenced his thinking on ministering to church and nation in the current era. What did praying with those nearest and dearest to Mandela mean? What was his spirituality? In trying to answer these questions, Makgoba opens a window on South Africa’s spiritual make-up and life.

While teaching in Rome during the early days of her career, Scarpetta had a love affair with acclaimed astrophysicist Sal Giordano that led to a lifelong friendship.

The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano's skin is strangely red. Scarpetta's niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft.

As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil . . .

Saam met die sterwe van die ou Suid-Afrika het ook “Afrikaner Volkskapitalisme” gesneuwel, wat veral gekenmerk is deur die einde van die eens magtige Sanlam en sy eweknie in die Noorde, Volkskas, wat eers deel van Rembrandt en toe later deel van Barclays van Brittanje geword het. Hierdie twee organisasies het vir dekades die dinamo van Afrikaner-sake aan die gang gehou.

Terwyl Afrikaner-kapitalisme oor die laaste dekade of wat byna krampagtig gesoek het na nuwe suurstof om te kan oorleef, is daar stil-stil ’n nuwe grondslag gelê vir ’n nuwe geslag Afrikaner-kapitaliste. Nuwe mijardêrs is orals geskep deur aandele-pryse wat ten hemele gejaag is en in die proses het dit in die jongste tyd begin lyk of van hierdie bate-spirale op baie dun ys gebou is en dalk ook groot sarsies bedrog.

This is indeed a story of mercy - and the redemption it offers.

On the eve of his retirement, Spokes Moloi, a police officer of spotless integrity, investigates one final crime: the possible murder of Emil Coetzee, head of the sinister Organisation of Domestic Affairs, who disappears on the same day a ceasefire is declared and the country's independence beckons. In following the tangled threads of Coetzee's life, Spokes raises and resolves conundrums that have haunted him, and his country, for decades under colonial rule. In all this, he is staunchly supported by his paragon spouse, Loveness, and his unofficially adopted daughter, the unorthodox postman Dikiledi.

In her most magnificent novel yet, award-winning author Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu showcases the history of a country transitioning from a colonial to a postcolonial state with a deft touch and a compassionate eye for poignant detail. Linked to The Theory of Flight and The History of Man, Ndlovu's novel nevertheless stands alone in its evocation of life in the City of Kings and surrounding villages. Dickensian in its scope, with the proverbial bustling cast of colleagues both good and bad, villagers, guerrillas, neighbours, ex-soldiers, suburban madams, shopkeepers, would-be politicians and more, The Quality of Mercy proposes that ties of kinship and affiliation can never be completely broken - and that love can heal even the most grievous of wounds.

Ruth Williams was a middle-class Londoner who loved ballroom dancing and ice skating when she met Seretse Khama. He was chief designate of the most powerful tribe in Bechuanaland, today Botswana, on the borders of apartheid South Africa. Their union sparked outrage, fear and anger.

The couple was humiliated, tricked and eventually exiled to England. But, despite all these tribulations, their love triumphed over the politics and prejudice of the time.

This is the story Ruth Khama told well-known journalist and author Sue Grant-Marshall ‒ the story of an extraordinary woman, who had the courage of her convictions in marrying the man she loved and accepting his country and people as her own.
