There’s no grounds for murder. There’s no ground at all. The people exploring and exploiting alien universes risk everything, including their lives. But Devin Gupper’s death makes no sense.

'Fall of the Suns' is a galloping crime-thriller with large doses of fun. The story is set against modern maritime backdrop and invigorated with a handful of colourful characters, an ill-conceived weapons deal is entered into, one that will simply not go according to plan: for anybody. Enter the totally inept Thai criminal, Sun Junior, the bumbling black sheep, whose corrupt Police Chief father has disinherited him. Desperate to win back his father's affection, and after years of failed illegal enterprises, the buffoon gambles his last assets on an ill-conceived weapons deal, one that is built on the back of an overheard but very mistaken conversation. Over in Lithuania, Ludwig Stanislovas, the extremely suave and self-obsessed arms dealer, is giving himself a routine full-body inspection when his gold-speckled phone disturbs his concentration. The caller is the unknown Sun Junior, demanding a container load of weapons. During this annoying call, Ludwig, who is itching to pull out an elusive strand of grey hair from his otherwise shiny black moustache, reluctantly agrees to a deal, for due recompense of course. However, MI6 come to learn of this and decide to prevent the deal concluding 'at all costs' but cheaply. They dispatch Agent Ray who tries his best, but falling in love, a youthful Thai agent and gut-reaction place large obstacles in his path. As the sun works its way across the sky events heat-up in cataclysmic fashion: enter the extremely tall Preacher, whose initial intention appeared to have been to get back his own container of 'Golfing Equipment and Bibles', until he unexpectedly pulls the trigger. The author's experiences at sea are obvious throughout the book along with a tongue in cheek approach. Unexpected and humorously creative situations echo throughout, combining well with the intolerable heat of the day as it drives the players to desperation in a gripping finale. The obvious tone of the book presents modern portrayal of maritime mayhem: the theme abruptly dragging nautical fiction from the era of sails and wood, to today's steel and rumbling engines. This book is a first: it fills a large gap in fictional writing that only a seafarer could achieve. Ieuan manages this with ease in his debut novel - added and well-dispersed laughter and suspense keeping the reader asking for more.
Author Jeffrey Cox conducts a thorough and compelling investigation of the Java Sea Campaign, the first major sea battle of the Pacific War, which inflicted huge costs on the Allies and set the stage for Japan's rout across the Pacific and Indian oceans. Few events have ever shaken a country in the way that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor affected the United States. The Japanese forces then continued to overwhelm the Allies, attacking Malaya with its fortress of Singapore, and taking resource-rich islands in the Pacific in their own blitzkrieg offensive. Allied losses in these early months after America's entry into the war were great, and among the most devastating were those suffered during the Java Sea Campaign, where a small group of Americans, British, Dutch, and Australians were isolated in the Far East – directly in the path of the Japanese onslaught. It would be the first major sea battle of World War II in the Pacific.

A novel set during the reign of Genghis Khan and his Mongol Empire from the acclaimed author of Ghost on the Steppe, “a master storyteller” (Houston Chronicle). Cecelia Holland’s historical fiction is well known for its immersion in exotic cultures, and Until the Sun Falls, one of her most successful books, takes the reader into the heart of the Mongol horde during the conquest of Russia and eastern Europe in the thirteenth century. Genghis Khan had told his people they were destined to rule the world, and by his death they had made an impressive start. His four sons followed him to the leadership of the enormous new empire and continued the expansion. His eldest son, Batu, launched the conquest of the West—Russia and Europe. In a few years of devastating warfare, the Mongols reached as far as Vienna, mowing down every army that dared face them, like an irresistible force of nature. Until the Sun Falls stars a Mongol general, Psin, whose battles against the enemies of the Kha Khan sometimes seem easier than his struggles with his wives and his son. Wise, brave, and bloody-minded, Psin embodies the passions and dreams of the greatest conquerors the world has ever seen, at the height of their power.
