  For fans of mind-bending stakes: Think The Man in the High Castle meets Dark Matter, with a dash of Cloud Atlas’s interconnected destinies. 
  In a world where history took a different path after a pivotal 17th-century battle, historian Oskar Sobieski makes a shocking discovery: the reality he knows—a technologically advanced Eastern European nation that never lost its sovereignty—was never supposed to exist. When he touches an ancient coin, Oskar glimpses an alternate timeline where his homeland fell, was erased from maps for over a century, and fought desperately for its resurrection. 
  Researchers investigating these timeline anomalies are mysteriously dying, thrusting Oskar and the enigmatic diplomat Marie-Claire Poniatowska into a dangerous conspiracy. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: entities known as the Architects have been manipulating reality itself, and now three divergent timelines are collapsing toward a catastrophic convergence. 
  With the gleaming fusion-powered city around them experiencing increasingly dangerous reality fluctuations, Oskar must confront his own alternate self—a bitter, scarred version from a timeline of occupation and struggle. As the barriers between realities thin, Oskar faces an impossible choice: which version of history deserves to survive? 
  A mind-bending thriller that reimagines European history through the lens of quantum physics, The Crown Splits weaves rich historical heritage with cutting-edge speculative fiction. The fate of multiple realities is in the balance in this world of royal intrigue, interdimensional entities, and impossible choices.

  Nick Turnhouse continues his helter-skelter advance from Dorset farmhand to naval officer, relying on his sword arm and quick intelligence to achieve success. As he progresses, he is increasingly conscious of all he does not know, and how much he must rely on his subordinates to provide their knowledge of the sea. He also keenly appreciates how much he needs the aid and advice of Captain Woodmore, who has done so much to help him rise in the world. 
   
   
   
  His pursuit of promotion and prize-money is almost diverted when Arabella Whitefield, the squire's daughter and now the voluptuous wife of a major, appears in English Harbor and fondly recalls their early romance. Nick manages this affair of the heart adroitly, narrowly avoiding jeopardizing his next promotion. Rising to Master and Commander, he will henceforth earn two-eighths of every prize he takes in his own sloop. 
   
   
   
  Taking to the sea again, and hoping to bring his wardroom with him, he becomes aware of the increasing unrest of the lower deck hands, whose pay has not risen in more than one hundred and twenty years and who live in miserable poverty. A serious situation that must be addressed, somehow.

  You will not believe what you are reading - even though it all feels so real. 
  Only a man like Smilin’ Jack could monetize civil war. After the infamous business tycoon launches a hit TV show that pits American and Confederate gladiators in brutal battles, his grisly spectacle draws the attention of psychopaths across the nation. 
  When a mysterious Christian nationalist sparks a nationwide manhunt after a string of massacres in the name of his God, Department of Homeland Security analyst Victoria Morales plunges into a deadly race against time to track down the elusive terrorist and prevent more bloodshed. 
  But with no leads, and constrained by government regulations, the FBI is left grasping at straws. Vicky is sick and tired of fighting a maniac with one hand tied behind her back – and she’s fed up with the violent culture glamorized by television shows like Coliseum. 
  As the fight between the gladiators spirals into a personal vendetta, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish the world of make-believe and that of reality. The Archangel doesn’t play by the rules – and to stop him, Vicky will have to take the law into her own hands. 
  Can Vicky take down the Archangel and prevent his twisted holy war? Or has Coliseum inspired so much hate that it’s pushed America over the edge? 
  Step into a gritty and suspenseful near-future thriller that delves into hard-hitting themes of American militarism and Christian nationalist terrorism. In a world where America’s fractures are portrayed through televised battles for all to see, Coliseum is a chilling exploration of what we’re willing to accept in the name of entertainment.

  Published posthumously in December 1817, Persuasion was Jane Austen's final completed work before her death in July 1817.  It has delighted readers ever since. It is a historical romance, which delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency. It revolves around the life of Anne Elliot who was persuaded when she was 19 years old, to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a promising, though relatively poor young lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  
  Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
  In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
  This is the fourth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection. 
  Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
  Soundtrack written and produced by Jean Miles Carter.
