  Wyatt steals $ 50,000 and a sought-after piece of jewelry in a burglary of a politician's house. Wyatt snatches the cash easily enough. He bypasses the alarm system, eludes the cops, makes it safely back to his bolthole in Hobart. It’s the diamond-studded Tiffany brooch - and perhaps the girl - that brings him undone. Now some very hard people want to put Wyatt and that brooch out of circulation. But this is Wyatt's game and Wyatt sets the rules - even if it means a reckoning somewhere far from home. 
   
  Port Vila Blues is Wyatt's fifth heist. It's faster than ever, racing towards the inevitable confrontation on a clifftop above the deceptively calm waters of Port Vila Bay. 
   
  "In a murky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing - not a word wasted." MARELE DAY, author of Lambs of God 
   
  "Tough, violent, relentless and thoroughly convincing." STUART COUPE, author of The Roadies 
   
  "To Disher's usual brisk pacing, add heaps of noir...a banquet for those who like it uncut and unsparing." KIRKUS REVIEWS

Ally’s ex-wife goes missing and he is framed for her murder by a struggling painter with no talent who is having an affair with both Ally’s girlfriend and ex-wife. Meanwhile an Asian policeman suffering from a terminal condition and his female partner get caught up in these people lives which reaches a murderous conclusion.

  Emily Trigger and the Special Forces, the Prodigal Suns have been chasing the God of Magic and being chased by zombies all around the world and it's all come down to this. 
   
   
   
  The final showdown. At last. 
   
   
   
  They think they have all the pieces together. The right people, an ancient goddess, and as much magical and good old-fashioned firepower to either lock Heka away for good or end him once and for all. 
   
   
   
  Of course, Heka has a few things up his bony sleeve as well. There are a few benefits to being the old ruler of magic. You can create your own mercenaries to protect you. 
   
   
   
  And whose side is Isis on anyway? Heka or the Prodigal Suns? Only time will tell. 
   
   
   
  This won't be a fight anyone will soon forget. 
   
   
   
  Have Emily and the Prodigal Suns trained enough, and do they know each other's strengths and weaknesses well enough to put a one in the win column? Or has Heka grown strong enough to defeat them and take over the world?

  "Filmer" by H.G. Wells is a gripping tale of ambition, obsession, and the ethical boundaries of scientific discovery. The story centers on Filmer, a brilliant but reclusive scientist who develops a method for human flight. Consumed by his desire to achieve greatness, he grapples with the moral implications of his invention and the societal pressures it attracts. As Filmer’s dreams collide with reality, Wells delves into themes of isolation, hubris, and the cost of progress. The narrative explores the tension between personal aspirations and collective responsibility, questioning whether innovation should come at the expense of humanity. A thought-provoking blend of science fiction and psychological drama, "Filmer" reflects Wells’s enduring fascination with the complexities of human ambition.

  Only One Who Cannot Be Bound by Magic Can Defeat the Witch Queen 
   
   
   
  Karn was just a boy when dark forces tore his home apart, leaving him orphaned and burning for vengeance. Taken in by an unlikely mentor, he finds himself thrust into The Forge—a brutal training ground where the Witch Queen molds her deadliest warriors. Strength is survival, and every lesson is paid for in blood. 
   
   
   
  But Karn is different. Magic cannot touch him. And in a world where power is everything, that makes him dangerous. 
   
   
   
  As he battles through ruthless trials and shifting alliances, Karn unearths secrets buried deep in his past—truths that could shatter the Witch Queen's reign . . . or doom him to her service. The path to revenge is treacherous, and every choice comes with a cost. 
   
   
   
  To break free, Karn must decide: is he a weapon forged for war, or something far more deadly?
