The first novel in a new series by Andy McNab, about a brilliant cryptography and cyberweapons specialist for hire.

From the central bank of El Salvador to a tantalum mine in Rwanda, the Acropolis Museum in Athens to the biggest freeport on the planet in Dubai, enter a world ruled by ones and zeroes and inhabited by people who don't believe in trust.

Nathan Pike is one of those people. To some he's a digital Robin Hood. To others he's nothing but an amoral hacker. A codebreaking and encryption expert, he sells his skills to whoever can pay him what he wants or give him something he needs.

And when he's sprung from a Cambodian prison by a woman calling herself Melody Jones, he's made an offer the likes of which he's never seen before.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING?!!! This was the authors' immediate reaction when they saw these prompts from Google (so many people had previously searched all of these that Google assumed they were going to as well). Consider how many millions of people need to have typed in these particular statements relating to their jobs for this to occur?

Alex Reeve - known as OPERATIVE 66 - is a former special-ops soldier and one of the UK's most lethal weapons. Previously a member of SC9, an elite covert unit with a remit to assassinate the country's enemies, Reeve was framed for treason and now lives a nomadic existence - as the merciless killers he once trained alongside hunt him down.

For a chance of a normal life, Reeve must expose and dismantle the sinister SC9. So when a series of brutal killings in Germany have all the hallmarks of an SC9 tactic - the murder of 'ghost targets', decoys to camouflage the true intended victim - Reeve finally sees opportunity for revenge.

Sucked into shadowy conspiracy involving dark global powers, Reeve will risk his life to save others - and to secure his freedom. But if there's one man with the skills to do so... it is Operative 66.

From the internationally bestselling author of the Wilde & Chase series comes an explosive new thriller - the perfect pulse-racing read for fans of LEE CHILD, VINCE FLYNN and GREGG HURWITZ.

Wanneer Tomas ’n draakvrugboom in sy oupa se tuin ontdek en ’n klein drakie uit een van die vrugte bars, ontdek hy dat drake baie meer moeite is as komkommers! Daar is ontploffende draakbolle oral ‒ selfs eenkeer in Oupa se ontbytgraan ‒ die huiskat word gedurig rondgejaag en Tomas se tandeborsel (en ander persoonlike items) word gereeld brandgesteek. Maar dis darem nie net chaos en ontploffende draakbolle nie! Die eerste keer toe Flikker sy stert om Tomas se nek krul en hom met sy groot diamant-oë kyk, kom Tomas agter dat daar heelwat meer as net towerkrag in drake steek. Maar as jy ’n draak het moet jy dit geheim hou, want wie wil nie hulle eie draak hê nie?

Tomas het ’n groot geheim: hy het ’n klein drakie wat hy in sy oupa se tuin gekweek het. En dis nie al nie – sy vriende, Ted, Kai en Kat het ook hulle eie drake! Om ’n draak te hê is ’n betowerende ondervinding, maar dis netsowel jy dra ’n onvoorspelbare vulkaan in jou broeksak! Om die drake uit die moeilikheid te hou is baie harde werk. Boonop lyk die drakevrugteboom effens verlep. Tomas en sy vriende moet die drakevrugteboom weer gesond kry en ook probeer uitpluis wat Liam, die skoolboelie, in die mou voer.

New parents Pi and Cordelia have been enjoying a period of quiet since their last run-in with the reef's resident shark Troy.

Seeing an opportunity to kidnap Cordelia, Troy sends his loyal factotum Ronny into the community to distract Pi and the rest of his friends and neighbours while he concocts his plan of revenge.

But with Pi weary of strangers coming to the reef, it isn't long before he recognises Ronny's real intent and so sets about stopping Troy once and for all...

Tasked with rescuing the daughter of one of America's richest families from the grips of a dangerous cult, Nick Stone expects his latest mission to be quick and straightforward.

Travelling to the frozen depths of Northern Russia, all he needs to do is assassinate the sinister cult leader and bring the woman home alive.

But there are deadly complications - not least that she is at the heart of a chilling conspiracy that will threaten the democratic stability of the West.

1000 years ago, a disparate group of heroes Hippolyta, Black Adam, Swamp Thing and the Viking Prince banded together to prevent the world from freezing at the hands of the Frost King, an exiled Norse god with the ability to control entire ecosystems. The heroes triumphed, but victory came at a terrible price, one that has been kept secret until now. When the Justice League discovers an extinction-level storm at the former site of Superman s Fortress of Solitude, their search for answers will put them in direct conflict with the Frost King, an ancient entity who wields great power and an army of loyal soldiers. What does he want? And what s his tie to some of the oldest heroes in the DC Universe? Justice League: Endless Winter is a crossover event collection that includes Aquaman #66, The Flash #767, Justice League #58, Justice League Dark #29, Justice League: Endless Winter #1-2, Teen Titans: Endless Winter Special #1, Black Adam: Endless Winter Special #1, and Superman: Endless Winter Special #1.

Archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, former SAS soldier Eddie Chase, believe their globe-trotting adventures are over - the biggest worry being how their now-adult daughter Macy is going to spend her life.

But after the violent theft of dangerous relics, with the only surviving guard claiming his attackers were "angels", Nina and Eddie are thrust back into action. Without their knowledge, though, Macy is approached by a mysterious group called the Knights of Atlantis - who want to recruit her.

In a deadly race stretching from the glamorous French Riviera to the blistering heat of the Karakum desert, Nina and Eddie must confront mercenaries, secret societies and the machinations of the world's first trillionaire - with the fate of the world in their hands...

In December 2010 while in Port Elizabeth, Andy Kawa was abducted, attacked and raped for 15 hours at Kings Beach. Her attackers were never caught. She successfully sued the police for failing to properly investigate her attack.

In November 2018, Port Elizabeth Judge Sarah Sephton found police officers were 'grossly negligent' in the performance of their duties with regards to her case both in the search and investigation.

This is Andy's story.
