  WHAT IF THE END OF WORLD WAR III… WAS JUST THE BEGINNING?
  
  When the satellites fall, the power goes dark, and the global order collapses overnight, every person on Earth becomes a soldier in a war no one was prepared for.
  
  Hidden beneath decades of black-budget programmes, secret alliances, and buried bloodlines lies a truth so explosive it could shatter everything we thought we knew about history—and the future. The world's elite have known this day would come. They just never expected it to arrive so soon.
  
  Frontline Earth unleashes a world on the brink, where ancient families, rogue intelligence factions, and so-called conspiracy theories converge in a battle for humanity's survival. At the centre is Marine Alex Matthews—torn between his oath and a shocking discovery that will change the course of the war, and the planet, forever.
  
  Blending geopolitical thriller with pulse-pounding action and a shadow of science fiction, Frontline Earth: The Last Alliance is the explosive debut from Xander Lucas—where every conspiracy was just a warning, and the end of peace… was only the beginning.

  The name of Dunstan Vardis had become almost legendary in the underworld since his escape from prison five years ago. In some secret and mysterious way he had developed a sure-fire method of hiding wanted criminals. Every killer in the underworld came to Dunstan Vardis for protection. 
  “Just a minute, Mr. Klaw!” a photographer begged. “Stand still for a second, will you?” 
  The man raised a bulky camera to his eye and sighted through the periscope. He had his finger on the lever to click it down. Before he could do so, Stephen Klaw took his right hand from his pocket. There was an automatic in it. Without wasting a fraction of an inch of motion, Klaw fired from the hip. 
  The shot echoed and re-echoed like thunder in the vaulted train-shed. The slug smashed square into the camera, driving through the box and embedding itself in the photographer’s skull. 
   * * *  
  Tepperman was one of the high-output pulp author of the 1930s, able to deliver readable, action-packed fiction stories like clockwork, securing his place in the hall of fame of pulp writers.

  NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, THE SUNDAY TIMES, AND THE FINANCIAL TIMES 
   
   
   
  A searing debut set in a modern India simmering with the tension of growing religious intolerance 
   
   
   
  Teetapur, an unassuming village just a few hours outside of bustling Delhi, is famous for nothing—until one of its children, eight-year-old Munia, is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree. 
   
   
   
  In the largely Hindu village, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor. Suspicion ignites like wildfire, fueled by religious tensions that simmer beneath the surface. 
   
   
   
  The responsibility of uncovering the elusive truth—and prevent the lynching of the prime suspect—now rests on the weary shoulders of Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh. With only one other officer beneath him, and just a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father and an angry village—or will Teetapur demand vengeance instead? 
   
   
   
  Offering listeners a gripping mystery and a sweeping state-of-the-nation saga, Black River stands as a searing critique of modern India, weaving an intricate narrative that captures the essence of a nation grappling with its own complexities and contradictions.
