The Royal Navy is larger than it has ever been – nearly eight hundred ships and one hundred and twenty thousand men – and it is too small for the tasks demanded of it if the war is to be won.British hardwood forests have been destroyed, with the exception of the untouchable New Forest. It is impossible to build enough ships to make up for losses, let alone to expand. At least twenty of the ships at sea are unfit for service, may well sink in the next storm.
The sole answer is to find an ally with a large fleet, or to capture the ships required, which is easier said than done.
Denmark has a large ocean-going fleet, but is neutral and terrified of France. Nick Turnhouse is tasked to find a way of taking the Danish fleet, laid up in Copenhagen, intact and immediately usable.
There is a way – provided he and the government of the day are prepared to sacrifice honour and decency. Perfidious Albion may yet prevail.

Unfortunately, the expected ration carrier has failed to arrive and is presumed lost and there are no barrels of beef and bags of biscuit to fill his depleted hold.
Nick sets off on a year-long voyage with less than six months of stores to hand. He has to scavenge food that his conservative crew will eat, from lands that do not grow wheat and where the beef cow is a rarity. The best hope, he suspects, must be to capture Spanish ships and garrisons and rob them of their rations.

In process, he adds a little to his store of prize money and more to his reputation as a wild and often lucky captain.

None of You Shall Be Spared
It’s coming for all of us.
Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy Award-winning author Brian Evenson has become one of the defining voices of contemporary horror. His sparse, inventive and intimate style has left a permanent impression on the landscape of dark fiction. Praised by Peter Straub for placing himself “furthest out on the sheerest, least sheltered narrative precipice”, heralded by legends such as George Saunders and R. L. Stine, and beloved by readers of literary fiction and horror alike, there are few authors who bring so much to the table.
This brilliant collection contains twenty of his most spectacular short stories never put into a collection before and includes three brand new tales. In trademark Evenson fashion, one can feel a palpable connection to the yearnings, fears, and losses that his characters suffer. From the terror of being stalked by a man you thought you’d killed, to the desperate hope for the return of a loved one, each story is woven from deep imagination, sincere emotion, and the unblinking examination of everything dark that surrounds us.
These stories will enthrall you. They will leave a bit of themselves within you, and you will leave a bit of yourself within them. No one is safe from the web Evenson weaves, and none of you shall be spared.
Brian Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story collection The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell (2021) and the Weird West microcollection Black Bark (2023). His collection Song for the Unraveling of the World (2019) won the Shirley Jackson Award and the World Fantasy Award and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times’ Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction. Previous books have won the American Library Association’s RUSA Award and the International Horror Guild Award, and have been finalists for the Edgar Award. He is the recipient of three O. Henry Prizes, an NEA fellowship, and a Guggenheim Award. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. He lives in Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.

The Hitman’s Guide to Codenames and Ill-Gotten Gains
Leland
Stopping a robbery was only the beginning—to fun, action-filled mayhem. Jackson’s afraid that I’m running headfirst into trouble (again), but I’m not… I’m running gun-first into it. When one of the robbers who’s really just a kid comes begging for my help, I definitely have no choice but to help him.
The kid is convinced his brother has been wrongly accused, and while Jackson My Love might be over there going, “You were hired to look into it, not to go undercover, sink a boat, and hunt down a gang,” I feel like he’s simply confused… because I’m gonna hunt down TWO gangs (and is that a car chase I see?).
Jackson
A simple “Whodunnit” turns into us being targeted by multiple bad guys as we run after them instead of away from them, dragging Cassel and Henry—and some others—along for the ride. I really can’t be the only one who sees the issue here, but… as I watch them race into danger, I’m starting to think I am.
Loving Leland comes easy, but keeping him safe doesn’t because there’s someone trailing Leland who might want to hurt him. The problem is that as Lucas strings us along and tales begin to become tangled, it’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.
Contains: Lifejackets used to protect all the wrong things (Leland: all the RIGHT things), the greatest tragedy of ALL TIME (involving The Fence)(even if Jackson doesn’t think so), and the kind of friends that make you realize you don’t need enemies.

Seduced by Greed: The Insatiable Quest For More
This bumper offering of three contemporary novels reveals how criminality flourishes when driven by greed, particularly when nobody has the courage to report wrongdoing.
1. The Whistleblower Affair: Exposing Immorality within boardrooms
A major British bank is in trouble. Investors and account-holders alike are in peril. The rot is embedded at board level. Step forward a highly paid employee so infuriated by his director’s behaviour that he links up with a journalist to expose the criminality involved.
Few anticipate the ferocious worldwide response to the news that much is amiss within this bank; certainly not the journalist, or the whistleblower. Within hours both are put under pressure, from surprising quarters.
Venturing into this field of unbridled greed and avarice, Jonathan Veale, in his wry manner, exposes the criminal behaviour of millionaire bank directors too busy feathering their own nests to deal with complaints about the dreadful services offered to account holders, if any can be found at all in some areas by!
This insightful novel pulls few punches as it denounces these overpaid, rapacious people while informing and entertaining in equal measure.
2. A Chateau To Die For: A Lothario Hell-bent On A Bargain
Property bargains excite Brits contemplating a new life abroad, and French estate agents welcome these expat hopefuls with open arms.
‘Too good to be true,’ is not a concept that bothers dreamers, especially those who have had one too many cognacs and already sold their overpriced homes in Britain for what they regard as the lottery win of a lifetime.
In this diverting story, expat chateau-owners are threatened by an amoral chancer who befriends lonely women anxious to believe they have at last met ‘the right man’. Stryker Upshott’s thoughts are elsewhere, however. He plans to acquire the chateau at a knockdown price as the couple find themselves temporarily stuck for cash. He’s in for a shock. Women, too, can play it rough, and one is briefed to do just that.
And then a Mafia connection surfaces, encouraging both greedy and romantic aspirations to take off in new and unexpected directions.
3. Katie Turns To Crime: Comeuppance for an Actress?
And finally, a female of the species takes centre stage, many of whom have struggled valiantly in the first two novels while, as usual, well meaning men make fools of themselves.
Diamond dealing in Amsterdam, money laundering with a maverick Sicilian in Ibiza, and all the while neglecting her beloved cats . . . what on earth possessed this young now widowed actress to leave her cottage in deepest France and move into circles that would give most of us nightmares?
A few years earlier, Katie Maltravers had undertaken one short role, to help out a friend. Her performance, a real life one, was spectacularly profitable, and the windfall has prompted her to seek further wealth. Soon, nothing is ‘beyond the pale’. Crime awaits, as do complications, romantic and legal. One can only hope Katie eventually sees sense, and repents?
A fitting novel to complete this series of entertaining stories about all too human beings. Of course, we would never behave so inappropriately . . .

The Love Hypothesis: The Tiktok sensation and romcom of the year!
With an exclusive new bonus chapter… from Adam’s POV
Based on the available information and the data hitherto collected, my hypothesis is that the further I stay away from love, the better off I will be.
‘Contemporary romance’s unicorn: the elusive marriage of deeply brainy and delightfully escapist.’ Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
*
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman’s carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is on her way to a happily ever after was always going to be tough, scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting woman, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when he agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire and Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support (and his unyielding abs), their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion.
Olive soon discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.
What the five star reviews are saying about The Love Hypothesis:
‘Did I read this in 24 hours? Yes.’
‘Funny. Snarky. Intelligent. Real.’
‘If you’re even slightly thinking about getting this book to read, just go a head and do it’
