Haar pad het jare gelede kortstondig gekruis met dié van Max Krige, 'n eks-Interpolagent wat deesdae 'n top-onderhandelaar is vir 'n internasionale sekuriteitsmaatskappy … en toe het die vonke gespat. Nou bevind Sabine haar in 'n lewensgevaarlike situasie as een van die gyselaars wat uit die deltagebied weggevoer word. Reeds is 'n bloedspoor agtergelaat. Kan Max verdere lewensverlies verhoed?

Grensloos is 'n boeiende roman, propvol spanning en intrige, asook die meesleurende karakterverhoudings waarvoor Wilna Adriaanse so geliefd is.

From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds. Because when Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly.

This is the oldest love story of all time . . .

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.

Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.

And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .

There is an invisible weapon among us. By the time you know you are a victim, it has turned you into a killer. A compelling, fast-paced, ticking clock non-fiction thriller from the author of the bestselling Nuclear War: A Scenario.

A lab accident, a bio-attack, a global pandemic, and the collapse of human society. In this explosive new book, based on dozens of new interviews with experts with high-level political, governmental, medical, and military responsibility, Annie Jacobsen examines this very scenario.

There is no mushroom cloud, no shock wave or blast. Instead, the scenario that could end the world as we know it begins with something so small and malicious, that when used for evil, only evil can result.

This is what could happen; a roadmap to the hours, days, and weeks following the release of a biological agent, that serves as the most essential, forward-looking journalism in preparation for urgent societal upheaval.

Her boat. Her rules. His music. Their hearts . . .

From the queen of cosy fantasy and acclaimed author of The Spellshop, Sea of Charms is a delightful fantasy romance about finding your crew, your family, and moreover, finding yourself.

Marin has always belonged on the great blue sea. Betrayed by love, she lives and works as a supply runner, sailing from island to island, delivering an array of goods with Perri the sea serpent and Ree the sailor shrub as her crew. On one of her routine trips to the capital, Alyssium, Marin finds a revolution underway ― and a friend in the line of fire.

What starts as a rescue evolves into a deal: Marin will keep Dax on as a member of her crew if he pretends to be her boyfriend at the End-of-Harvest Festival back home. But against her better judgment, Marin finds herself intrigued by his stubbornness, his passion for stories, his charming smile ― and realizes that perhaps she isn’t saving him. Maybe it’s the other way around.

Set in the same beautiful, cosy world as The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse, this is the third standalone in Sarah Beth Durst's beloved fantasy series – perfect for both fans and newcomers.

Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.

Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."

Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.

In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.

In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

Rafe is dead – murdered in bed as you lay next to him – and everyone is going to think you did it.

A fascinating deep-dive into game theory, its history and its practical applications by award-winning expert on computer science and artificial intelligence.

Most of us have some idea about game theory. Concepts like zero-sum games and the prisoner's dilemma crop up in films, novels and casual conversation, often as shorthand for cut-throat competition or inevitable betrayal. But game theory, the science behind these ideas, is widely misunderstood. All too often it's seen solely as the science of conflict and greed. In fact, this field has a lot to teach us about how to make a better world. It shows us just what it takes to enable cooperation and mutual benefit.

This essential primer presents twenty one 'life lessons from game theory', which illustrate the key ideas in the field, and which are packed with real world examples: from overfishing in the Atlantic; to the Cuban Missile Crisis; to security measures at international airports; to advertising wars between major brands.

This is a hopeful and practical book that highlights the value of game theory and provides a course correction for its integration into the real world.

Steven Bartlett, creator of The Diary of a CEO, returns with his most unique and uncompromising book yet.

How do you do the thing when you don’t know how to do the thing?

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who talk about changing their lives, and those who actually do it. This book is written for the second group: for anyone ready to cross that line.

After close to a decade spent interviewing scientists and spies, monks and misfits, billionaires and athletes, founders and failures, Steven has learned one truth that sits above all others: the thing blocking you isn’t talent, luck, resources or readiness. It’s the wall you’ve built around yourself. And it’s not made of concrete - it’s made of paper.

Blending unforgettable stories from the world’s biggest doers with methods drawn from behavioural science, Just Fcking Do It gives you the tools to overcome fear, easy comfort, inertia, embarrassment or self-deception and to take action. Now. Before the window closes.

Because this isn’t just a book – it’s a wake-up call. Will you answer it?

From the actor in Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah’s reality.

In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed.

Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like – and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what’s real, and what’s imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.

From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah’s life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.

Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.

When the founder of Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, Michael Lutzeyer, bought a piece of farmland in a coastal corner of the Western Cape in 1991, little did he know that his ‘holiday home’ would one day become globally recognised for both its conservation practices and its sustainable tourism efforts.

For close on 30 years, the 3,500-hectare reserve has welcomed international and local visitors to experience its treasure trove of botanical and wildlife wonders – now showcased in this new comprehensive field guide, Life at Grootbos and in the Walker Bay region (which follows in the wake of the magnificent illustrated Grootbos Florilegium).

Both a record of all that Grootbos has achieved, and a tool for identification of most of the organisms occurring there, the field guide covers primitive plant forms and flowering plants, fungi, and a wide variety of animal groups (insects, spiders, scorpions, reptiles, fish, amphibians, mammals and birds). Also highlighted are the fascinating history and geology of the region as well as insights into the early days of Grootbos, how it has grown, how it functions, and the important training and skills development it delivers through its ongoing community projects.

Laura and Dee haven't spoken since the day they buried a body together...

2001. It was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. A break from university, from parents, from wasting their time on Irish boys with farmer's tans. They'd imagined flirting with Ryan Phillippe on a New York rooftop. Instead, with summer jobs waitressing at a country club on Long Island, pickings are slim.

Mikey is a bully. Marco is off limits. Jose is angry. Mr Haight is a sleaze. Josh is too keen. And Other Josh. he's something else entirely. It's a miracle only one of them ends up dead.

Dee is pretty sure she didn't mean to kill him. Laura, to her credit, never asked.

Not until she sends an email, out of the blue, more than twenty years later. It's finally time to mend the biggest heartbreak of that summer; Laura wants her best friend back.

From its inception, liberalism offered a glittering promise of shared prosperity, equality, democratic values and the free pursuit of knowledge. At first, it flourished. And then it faltered. Once a tantalising beacon of hope, it began to erode and decay at the hands of elitism, intolerance and rising autocracy.

One could say that liberalism is broken. So what comes next?

Nobel prize-winning co-author of Why Nations Fail Daron Acemoglu charts the rise and fall of liberal democracy, and offers hope for a way forward: a new theory that lays the groundwork for how we can - and must - remake liberalism before it's too late.

Most people spend their lives solving small problems―following rules they never question, chasing goals they didn’t choose, and accepting limits that don’t actually exist. If you’ve ever felt you were meant to play a bigger game, this book shows you how.

In Counterintuitive, Naveen Jain―serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of multiple billion-dollar companies―reveals the way of thinking that allowed him to consistently do what others believed was impossible. Jain shares that his success did not come from being smarter, luckier, or more connected. Instead, it came from asking better questions and challenging the conventional.

Breakthrough success doesn’t come from working harder within the system. It comes from stepping outside it entirely. It’s thinking so big that problems become simpler. It’s using imagination as a discipline, not a daydream. And it’s choosing bold optimism when the world insists on cautious realism. This is not a book of tactics. It’s a blueprint for a mindset shift.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• Why thinking bigger is often easier than thinking small―and why the world’s most complex problems are the most solvable
• How to unlearn the invisible rules that limit ambition, creativity, and impact
• How to train your imagination to see opportunities where others see constraints
• The counterintuitive principles Jain used to build billion-dollar companies, shape industries, and tackle global challenges

Blending personal stories, hard-won lessons, and unconventional insights, Counterintuitive challenges you to stop settling for what you’re told is realistic and start reaching for what’s truly possible.
