    Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?
    Blending personal narrative and cultural criticism, Speak Still takes Tong's bilingual experience in Hong Kong and the UK as a point of departure and reflects on the meaning of language, selfhood, and belonging. Through poignant observations of everyday life as it is experienced between languages, Tong conceptualises a possibility to communicate and connect beyond words: by reclaiming silence as an interlocutor that interrupts cultural homogeneity and creates space for the unheard.
    Speak Still shows that this silence, indeed, speaks volumes.

    Power. Money. Blood. Influence. 
    What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth. 
    In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life. 
    Discover: 
    •	How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime. 
    •	The secret alliances between drug lords, politicians, police, and billionaires. 
    •	How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons. 
    •	The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.” 
    From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization. 
    Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away. 
    Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

    Book 2 of 3: Hardy has a hot lead that could finally provide him with answers to his questions. Together with Madeline, Frank, Dimitrij and Esra, he takes the dangerous journey and finds new allies in Harry and his community. But Hardy's fight against the creature has left traces that are becoming more and more obvious and seem inexplicable. After a brutal attack on Madeline, the community is surprisingly attacked by undead. With an old locomotive, they cross the vast steppes of Russia and repeatedly get into dicey situations. Shortly before Moscow, a ruthless and well-organized group appears in an attack helicopter, who only want one thing - Hardy. Using Madeline and Frank as leverage, Hardy complies with every request from Castor, a sick psychopath. Hardy meets would-be philanthropist Lydia, who resides in a well-protected mansion and apparently knows more about him than he does. Over dinner, the situation between the parties escalates and Hardy finds himself in a seemingly hopeless situation. Meanwhile, a horde of undead makes its way to the supposedly safe estate. The chaos is pre-programmed. Denny N. Dwight's cliché-laden declaration of love to the horror and action films of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s enters its second round. Again, he makes use of numerous quotes and allusions from films of these eras. In addition, the author brings up many topics that have been making the rounds among conspiracy theorists for years.
