Sinopse

In "The Dop Doctor," Richard Dehan intricately weaves a narrative that melds disparate elements of the human psyche with the allure of the unknown. Set within a backdrop of psychological intrigue, the novel explores the transformative power of drugs and heightened consciousness through its protagonist, who navigates the labyrinth of addiction and societal expectations. Dehan's stylistic approach is characterized by vivid imagery and a nuanced exploration of character, which allows readers to immerse themselves in the often tumultuous landscape of the mind—echoing the Modernist literary tradition while remaining accessible to a broad audience. Richard Dehan, born in England in 1870, was a prolific writer whose experiences in various cities and colonies informed his literary voice. His works reflect a penchant for examining social issues, such as class struggle and the complexities of human desire. Dehan's background, having lived through the cultural shifts of the early 20th century, undoubtedly shaped his perspectives on the pervasive effects of addiction, which he believes not only afflict the individual but also have far-reaching impacts on society at large. "The Dop Doctor" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of psychology, medicine, and morality. Dehan's profound insights and eloquent prose make this book not only a work of fiction but also a thoughtful commentary on the human condition. Readers seeking to engage with a narrative that challenges their perceptions and provokes deep reflection will find this novel an essential addition to their literary repertoire.

    In a fading gold town, the seams of violence run deep. 
     
    'I was like a man washed ashore on an island, half mad and only my warrant card and blood-soaked uniform to vouch for me. But I had to act as if I knew what the hell to do.' 
     
    In Autumn of 1912, mounted trooper Augustus Hawkins arrives at his new post in the fading gold town of Colley, NSW. On his first day, he is ambushed by a hidden gunman, his junior officer is killed before his eyes, and he escapes back to town to find the police station burning to the ground. Someone has it in for the mounted troopers. 
    A traumatised veteran of the Boer War, and a stranger to Colley, Hawkins is deeply shaken and ill-equipped to solve the case. But with only green troopers and a drunken, incompetent detective available to hunt down the murderer, he is forced to take the lead. Soon he finds that Colley hides a lot more than gold beneath its surface, for anyone who knows where to dig. 
    In Skull River, Gus Hawkins returns for a gripping and immersive hunt through a small town at the edge of a troubled empire. With black humour, Fioretti weaves a story that's both a cracking murder mystery and a razor-sharp portrayal of a country on the verge of transformation.

    The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, the draft was completed on January 22, 1927 and it remained unrevised and unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.

    Great Expectations is a timeless journey of ambition, pride, love, and redemption.

Along the way, he discovers love in Estella, loyalty in Joe, and gratitude in Magwitch—the convict whose unexpected generosity transforms Pip’s destiny. 
    From the decaying mansion of Miss Havisham to the bustling streets of London, the novel explores the cost of chasing illusions and the strength found in humility. Pip’s “great expectations” teach us that true wealth is not measured by fortune or status, but by authenticity, loyalty, and love.

    The first in a BRAND NEW action thriller series from the Wilbur Smith Prize-Shortlisted author Alex Shaw.Perfect for fans of Tom Wood, Vince Flynn and Mark Greaney, this is an explosive action thriller you won’t be able to put down 💥📚 
    ‘Another excellent stripped-back, razor-edge thriller from Alex Shaw’ - New York Times bestselling author James Swallow 
    Killing for a living is easy, living for a reason is much harder 
    Meet Ruslan Akulov. 
    In the shadowy world of assassins for hire, he is known as ‘Wolf Six’. 
    A Ukrainian raised in Moscow, conscripted into Russia’s most covert Special Forces unit ‘The Werewolves’, Akulov is full of loathing for the country that built and then broke him. The only rules he follows now are his own. 
    Unable to shake the guilt of his past, Akulov has made it his business to seek out those who prey upon the innocent. The name Wolf Six is legendary - whispered by those who know it with fear. But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes… 
    His mission of retribution takes him from Chicago to Kyiv, to Havana and back into the US, where Akulov must stop at nothing if he is to remain alive. No simple mission, even for the world’s deadliest assassin.
