Proto: A New History of Our Ancient Past, From the Author of the International Bestseller Pale Rider
‘The fascinating story of ancient words … new revelations await’ The Guardian
‘A magisterial feat’ New Statesman
________________________________
One ancient language transformed our world. This is its story.
Star. Stjarna. Stare. Thousands of miles apart, people look up at the night sky and use the same word to describe what they see.
Listen to these English, Icelandic and Iranic words and you can hear echoes of one of the most extraordinary journeys in humanity’s past. All three of these languages – and hundreds more – share a single ancient ancestor.
Five millennia ago, in a mysterious Big Bang of its own, this proto tongue exploded, forming new worlds as it spread east and west. Today, nearly half of humanity speaks an Indo-European language. How did this happen?
In Proto, acclaimed journalist Laura Spinney sets off to find out. With her we travel the length of the steppe, navigating the Caucasus, the Silk Roads and the Hindu Kush. We follow in the footsteps of nomads and monks, Amazon warriors and lion kings – the ancient peoples who spread these tongues far and wide. In the present, Spinney meets the linguists, archaeologists and geneticists racing to recover this lost world. What they have discovered has vital lessons for our modern age, as people and their languages are on the move again.
Proto is a revelatory portrait of world history in its own words.

‘Quietly profound, beautifully written, Hare is now lodged in my heart’ – TRACY CHEVALIER
__Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.
When Chloe, a city-dwelling professional with a high-pressure job, finds a newly born hare, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival – despite being the least likely caregiver to this wild animal.
Raising Hare is the story of their journey together. It chronicles an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. Their improbable bond of trust reminds us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.

Six Minutes to Winter: Nuclear War and How to Avoid It
‘Terrifying and timely, this is a book everyone should read and heed’ – George Monbiot
‘Urgent, gripping and sobering, Six Minutes to Winter is a hair-raising wake-up call’ – David Wallace-Wells
‘Powerful and insightful. Although many have forgotten about nuclear weapons, we shouldn’t’
– Charles OppenheimerThe world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.
Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity’s immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.
We are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. Six Minutes to Winter presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.

Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) (The Hunger Games)
“Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive, heart-wrenching addition to The Hunger Games, adding welcome texture to the cruel world of Panem … This is the project of dystopian fiction: to shine a light in tyranny’s greasiest corners and show how people — ordinary, determined human beings — might take it apart” – New York Times
“Collins is an excellent writer, and there are moments of surprising lyricism … Sunrise on the Reaping contains enough both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty fan” – Guardian
When you’ve been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honour of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.
Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.
When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town.
As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
- Four books, five films and one worldwide phenomenon, The Hunger Games original trilogy changed the face of global YA and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was an instant number one bestseller (Nielsen Bookscan, May 2020).

The Age of Diagnosis: Sickness, Health and Why Medicine Has Gone Too Far
‘Covers so many topics that have been troubling me but I haven’t been able to resolve myself – as a parent and a clinician. An absolutely absorbing read from start to finish.’ – CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
‘A brilliant study of the dangers of overdiagnosis’ – GUARDIAN, book of the day
‘Compassionate and bracingly independent thinking’ – THE TIMES, best books of 2025
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good?
The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn. Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be ‘normal’. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they’re even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren’t as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients. Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.

The Devils: 2025’s biggest fantasy sensation – prepare for a wickedly dark and twisted adventure
Europe stares into the abyss.
Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.
Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .
And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.
Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.
When you’re headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

The Greatest Story Ever Told: An Eyewitness Account
The incredible true story about a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.
Beautifully told through the eyewitness accounts of those who knew him best.
This real-life story will never leave you.
This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.
He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth.
His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming.
This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.
The local elite and governing rulers eventually tortured him and put him to death in the most violent and public of ways. Yet that was only the beginning…
In the years since, billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth.
To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.
How we each respond to this story dictates the course of our lives. And it all rests on the great mystery that occurred at the end of his life – a supernatural event that he had predicted with utter clarity.
Did this humble man tell the truth?
Could one man really be the focal point of the universe?
Read on to find out, and get ready to make up your own mind.
Wherever this journey takes you, this is arguably:
THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.
