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.

December 1941. It’s the height of World War II and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Lieutenant Jack Pembroke is ordered to join a convoy and sail his beloved ship, HMSAS Gannet, from South Africa to Egypt, where he will join the coastal escorts. With the Mediterranean all but closed to maritime traffic and Rommel’s forces rampaging across North Africa, it seems unlikely Gannet will survive.

Jack finds passionate romance with a Spanish beauty in exotic Alexandria but is soon thrust into battle while escorting ships running supplies to the beleaguered town of Tobruk, home of the Second South African Infantry Division. With the pressure building and ships around him being sunk by enemy bombers, Jack must deal with his own trauma while leading his men to safety.

It all comes to a head when Tobruk is surrounded, about to fall to Axis forces, with Gannet still trapped in the port.

Hell Run Tobruk is the third book in the thrilling Jack Pembroke series, each of which is a stand-alone story.

“Let us, then, set off together on a series of journeys around South Africa with an old kitbag full of books instead of maps to guide us. Let us follow meandering paths through the landscapes of literature, and celebrate how local authors, characters and readers are shaped and inspired by place …”

In this gripping travelogue, Justin Fox goes on a one-of-a-kind journey. Marrying his love for travel and writing, he sets off to explore the places of his favourite books. From the mountainous eastern Karoo of Olive Schreiner to the big-game lowveld of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, from Deneys Reitz’s wide-open Cape interior to the bushveld of Eugène Marais’s Waterberg, Fox reveals the majestic power of place. Through the savannah of Herman Charles Bosman’s Marico, the dusty plains of JM Coetzee’s Moordenaars Karoo, the forests of Dalene Matthee’s Garden Route, the subtropical hamlets of Zakes Mda’s Wild Coast, and finally the sandstone crags of Stephen Watson’s Cederberg, he brings to life the settings we’ve only seen through characters’ eyes.

Place is a moving love letter to South Africa, merging literature and landscape, and taking the reader on a breath-taking journey – into the heart of South Africa’s spectacular landscape and the inner-worlds of its most celebrated authors.

The financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent Great Recession demolished many cherished beliefs--most significantly, the theory that financial markets always get things right. Justin Fox's The Myth of the Rational Market explains where that idea came from, and where it went wrong. As much an intellectual whodunit as a cultural history of the perils and possibilities of risk, it also brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing--from the formative days of Wall Street through the Great Depression and into the financial calamities of today. It's a tale featuring professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house at blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It's also a story of free-market capitalism's war with itself.

Chronicling the rise and fall of the efficient market theory and the century-long making of the modern financial industry, Justin Fox's "The Myth of the Rational Market" is as much an intellectual whodunit as a cultural history of the perils and possibilities of risk. The book brings to life the people and ideas that forged modern finance and investing, from the formative days of Wall Street through the Great Depression and into the financial calamity of today. It's a tale that features professors who made and lost fortunes, battled fiercely over ideas, beat the house in blackjack, wrote bestselling books, and played major roles on the world stage. It's also a tale of Wall Street's evolution, the power of the market to generate wealth and wreak havoc, and free market capitalism's war with itself. The efficient market hypothesis - long part of academic folklore but codified in the 1960s at the University of Chicago - has evolved into a powerful myth. It has been the maker and loser of fortunes, the driver of trillions of dollars, the inspiration for index funds and vast new derivatives markets, and the guidepost for thousands of careers.The theory holds that the market is always right, and that the decisions of millions of rational investors, all acting on information to outsmart one another, always provide the best judge of a stock's value. That myth is crumbling. Celebrated journalist and columnist Fox introduces a new wave of economists and scholars who no longer teach that investors are rational or that the markets are always right. Many of them now agree with Yale professor Robert Shiller that the efficient markets theory "represents one of the most remarkable errors in the history of economic thought." Today the theory has given way to counterintuitive hypotheses about human behavior, psychological models of decision making, and the irrationality of the markets. Investors overreact, underreact, and make irrational decisions based on imperfect data. In his landmark treatment of the history of the world's markets, Fox uncovers the new ideas that may come to drive the market in the century ahead.
