  Speed meets The Taking of Pelham 123 . . .  
   
   
   
  In the latest Human for Hire whirlwind adventure. 
   
   
   
  This wasn't like Adam Cain—AKA: The Human for Hire. He wasn't supposed to be compassionate and caring. But for some reason, he'd taken the former Third-Generation Human John Martinez under his wing and was now determined to show him what the real Human race was all about. As a 3G, Martinez had been raised by the Klin to believe a completely false narrative about his native race. But having never been to Earth—and after only a few tragic encounters with other Humans—what was Martinez to believe? 
   
   
   
  And that was why Adam was taking Martinez to Earth . . . and aboard the luxurious space liner Starship Andromeda. 
   
   
   
  But of course, where Adam goes, trouble follows, and soon he and Martinez are ensnarled in a vast and deadly conspiracy that risks the lives of everyone aboard the Starship Andromeda, as well as every soul on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Get ready for more non-stop action and heroics from Adam Cain—the alien with an attitude. And the stakes have never been higher.

  Prizewinner in New Welsh Writing Awards 2022 Rheidol Prize for Prose with a Welsh Theme or Setting
  'This is a beautifully written retelling, demonstrating that some old stories never lose their power to move us.' – Alexander McCall Smith
  'These are extraordinary transformations of ancient narratives into an immediate contemporary vitality. Written with wit, inventiveness, compassion and economy, they persuade us that the step from the chaotic world of the biblical Middle East to modern south Wales is not really all that far.' – Rowan Williams
  'Sensual, ambitious, flowing and intimate... [a] warm, [diverse] exploration of mental health, dodgy money and optimism.' – Gwen Davies, adjudication, New Welsh Writing Awards 2022
  A fish, a dog, a property shark and the luck of the draw...
  Who turns up when the chips are down? In these contemporary feminist adaptations of two timeless stories from the Old Testament, we find out. Here are women who are resilient in the face of sudden change, harness the enduring power of jazz, and welcome a house guest whose skills in medicine and matchmaking prove providential.
  Set in a diverse Cardiff and Newport, the novella Anna and the Angel transforms the apocryphal tale from the Book of Tobit. Edna and Anna, the women of the original story, are brought from the shadows to tell their own tale. Starting with a confession of how Anna's family is unravelling as a result of an accident which leaves her husband disabled, the women's rich email correspondence evolves, changing them from strangers to firm friends with a shared renewal of trust. The bonus story, 'Debs and Jay', moves the military acumen of Deborah from Judges to present-day Cardiff, where Debs finds everything she has worked for is jeopardised by an unscrupulous property developer. Casting her mind back to Girl Guide camp days, she starts to see how revenge is hatched.

  Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn't get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than anyone else to prove herself.

  It's all hands-on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper's bullet? 
   
   
     
  As you've come to expect from bestselling author Lynette Eason's stories, this tightly wound plot unfurls at breakneck speed and will leave you breathless.

  One is in everything. One lives throughout the universe and beyond...
  
  One of the most remarkable women writers of the mid-twentieth century, Margiad Evans is a key post-modern Welsh author in the English language.
  
  Written as a series of nature journals, Margiad Evans' Autobiography (1943), is an extraordinary experiment in what she called 'earth writing'. It explores in delicate and precise detail the writer's intensely-felt, even mystical relationship with the natural world. From 1941, she lived in a farmworker's cottage, Potacre, on the summit of a hill above Llangarron and in sight of the Welsh mountains. A meditation on the difficulty of translating the reality of the 'now' into words, Autobiography traces a spiritual journey towards understanding the profound connection between all living things.
