'FIZZES WITH ENERGY AND REBELLION' SAMANTHA SHANNON 'WITTY, GRITTY, AND VICIOUS FUN' HANNAH KANER 'UTTERLY ENTHRALLING' SAARA EL-ARIFI An explosive cyberpunk SF thriller from the author of Mindwalker, set in a world of corporate intrigue and dangerous technology. No more quiet rebellions. Born into a religious cult, Indra Dyer lives a simple, tech-free existence. But when an illicit trip leaves her with a debilitating - and terminal - condition, Indra must choose: die faithful or betray her Order and accept the cure Glindell Technologies is offering. Forced to sign over her life, Indra is horrified to learn the true nature of Glindell's plans. Instead of saving her body, they upload her mind to a MindDrive, housed in a robotic shell. On the outside, Indra looks the same; on the inside, she's not so sure. She keeps finding herself in places she really shouldn't be, with no memory of how she got there, and dangerous abilities she can't explain. So when news breaks of an attack against Glindell's biggest rival, Indra suspects the worst. With the help of Tian - a research assistant with questionable morals and a smile that won't quit - Indra must uncover the truth, before Glindell can use it to change the face of technology, and what it means to be human, forever . . . READERS LOVE KATE DYLAN 'I LOVE this universe - we are literally encased in a dystopian/sci-fi bubble with all the representation and I am solidly here for it!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This was an absolute thrill-ride: fast-paced, utterly compelling, and with the right balance of science and fiction' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I read Mindbreaker as I had just read and loved Mindwalker also by Kate Dylan - and I was not let down!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book should be a movie' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'YA RAGE HULK SMASH . . . a PERFECT sapphic romance' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

DO NOT SURRENDER CONTROL. 'Mindwalker is a cinematic gut punch of action and espionage. Sharp-edged, tense and thrilling, you'll be holding your breath until the last page' Tasha Suri Eighteen-year-old Sil Sarrah is determined to die a legend. But with only twelve months left before the supercomputer grafted to her brain kills her, Sil's time is quickly running out. In the ten years she's been rescuing field agents for the Syntex corporation - by commandeering their minds from afar and leading them to safety - Sil hasn't lost a single life.

Desperate to prove she's no traitor, Sil infiltrates the Analog Army, an activist faction working to bring Syntex down. Her plan: to win back her employer's trust by destroying the group from within. Instead, she and the Army's reckless leader, Ryder, uncover a horrifying truth that threatens to undo all the good she's ever done. With her tech rapidly degrading and her new ally keeping dangerous secrets of his own, Sil must find a way to stop Syntex in order to save her friends, her reputation - and maybe even herself.

The Moor's Last Stand
Author: Elizabeth Drayson
Publisher: Profile Books
ISBN: 1782832769
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
In 1482, Abu Abdallah Muhammad XI became the twenty-third Muslim King of Granada. He would be the last. This is the first history of the ruler, known as Boabdil, whose disastrous reign and bitter defeat brought seven centuries of Moorish Spain to an end. It is an action-packed story of intrigue, treachery, cruelty, cunning, courtliness, bravery and tragedy. Basing her vivid account on original documents and sources, Elizabeth Drayson traces the origins and development of Islamic Spain. She describes the thirteenth-century founding of the Nasrid dynasty, the cultured and stable society it created, and the feuding which threatened it and had all but destroyed it by 1482, when Boabdil seized the throne. The new Sultan faced betrayals by his family, factions in the Alhambra palace, and ever more powerful onslaughts from the forces of Ferdinand and Isabella, monarchs of the newly united kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. By stratagem, diplomacy, courage and strength of will Boabdil prolonged his reign for ten years, but he never had much chance of survival. In 1492 Ferdinand and Isabella, magnificently attired in Moorish costume, entered Granada and took possession of the city. Boabdil went into exile. The Christian reconquest of Spain, that has reverberated so powerfully down the centuries, was complete.

Book Description
"Cleverly blending the real and imagined worlds until the reader can't differentiate the two, Knox has created a twisty, turny thriller that cuts through the heart of the modern true crime fascination, all while keeping us enraptured by it."—BuzzFeed THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! For fans of true crime documentaries and Only Murders in the Building comes the chilling story of a university student's sudden disappearance, the woman who became obsessed with her case, and the crime writer who uncovered the truth about what happened... What happens to all the girls who go missing? In 2011, Zoe Nolan walked out of her dormitory in Manchester and was never seen or heard from again. Her case went cold. Her story was sad, certainly, but hardly sensational, crime writer Joseph Knox thought. He wouldn't have given her any more thought were it not for his friend, Evelyn Mitchell. Another writer struggling to come up with a new idea, Evelyn was wondering just what happens to all the girls who go missing. What happens to the Zoe Nolans of the world? Evelyn began investigating herself, interviewing Zoe's family and friends, and emailing Joseph with chapters of the book she was writing with her findings. Uneasy with the corkscrew twists and turns, Joseph Knox embedded himself in the case, ultimately discovering a truth more tragic and shocking than he could have possibly imagined... Just remember: Everything you read is fiction. Praise for True Crime Story: "Stunningly unique...For fans of stories with a little something extra, this book is set up like an oral history, complete with emails, newspaper clippings and photos that propel the story all the way to a shocking and satisfying conclusion." —Newsweek "Mr. Knox is a fantastic writer. His ambitious fourth novel satirises and celebrates the true-crime genre with glee. True Crime Story, by turns horrific and hilarious, is scandalously entertaining." —The Times (UK) "The gifted Joseph Knox continues his upwards trajectory with True Crime Story forging something original and innovative." —Financial Times (UK) "This is one of the most engaging cold-case novels I have read." —Literary Review (UK)
