Preorder THEM GIRLS, the breathtaking new Eva Verde novel, coming Spring 2026. A deeply affecting novel, In Bloom tells of strength, survival, forgiveness, resilience and determination, and the fierce love and unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters. Delph has kept herself small and quiet as a form of self-protection, ever since the love of her life Sol’s untimely death left her pregnant and alone at the age of twenty-four. Theirs was such a once-in-a-lifetime love, that the loss of her soulmate broke her heart ‒ and almost broke her, too. Years on, Delph’s protective bubble bursts when her daughter Roche moves out of the flat Delph shares with her partner Itsy and in with her estranged nan, Moon. Now that it’s just the two of them, the cracks in Delph and Itsy’s relationship begin to grow. Feeling on the outside of the bond between her fierce-yet-flaky tarot-reading mother and volatile martial-arts-champion daughter, Delph begins questioning her own freedom. Is her life with Itsy all it seems? And has keeping small and safe truly been her choice all these years…? Praise for In Bloom: ‘I’m a sucker for a mother-daughter tale at the best of times and In Bloom certainly didn’t let me down. Bittersweet, funny, very real. I couldn’t put it down’ Louise Hare ‘Sensitively explores the lives of three generations of women as they search for freedom from guilt and regret. In this novel of hope and love Eva Verde shows that there is always the potential for a second chance’ Sarah Armstrong, author of The Moscow Wolves series 'A beautiful tale of resilience' Heat 'A really powerful, beautifully written story about three generations of working class women with each character so vividly drawn that they leap off the page' Red Online 'Raw and insightful' Good Housekeeping Praise for Lives Like Mine: ‘Londoner Eva Verde’s Lives Like Mine explores the theme of a school-run affair and the complications and joys it brings to a dual-heritage mother struggling with her intolerant in-laws’ Independent 'A bitter sweet story of longing and self-discovery, of deceit and regret. Visceral, authentic and funny, Eva’s prose reads like something between a conversation and a confession. An exciting new voice and a joy to read' Kit de Waal ‘Eva's writing breaks new ground in a confident and original voice, with a sharp eye for detail, wonderful characterisation and some seriously badass humour’ Yvvette Edwards, author of the Man Booker Prize longlisted novel, A Cupboard Full of Coats

Engineer Uma Ozakka has always been fascinated with the past, especially the desperate peace mission that ended the war with the Felen and ushered in a new age of collaboration - a mission Keeven's first mate Leesongronski is supposed to be leading right now.

Babylonia

As the Advent season approaches, Bernice finds herself faced with the prospect of an old-fashioned family holiday, surrounded by her loved ones on a world they now call home... a time to forge new memories, together... and for a bitter enemy to claim what is rightfully hers. Life is never straightforward, however. The most haunted planet in the galaxy is requesting an archaeologist, and something very peculiar is happening at the last manned shipyard in the cosmos. But ghostly planets and waterlogged zombies are the least of Bernice's worries. Because her friends have been hiding secrets - about who they are and where they've come from... and as Bernice will soon discover, the truth will out. 1. A Handful of Dust Written by Xanna Eve Chown "S.O.S. Emergency. Please send... an archaeologist?" On a routine postal mission for a deranged millionaire, Bernice, Ruth and Jack intercept a distress signal from the most haunted planet in the galaxy: Nemeqit. Taking their newly-christened shuttle - The Irverfield - down to investigate, the trio soon find themselves confronted with a pair of childlike extra-terrestrials; Vonna Byzantium, presenter of Paranormal Planets and part-time diva... and an awful lot of dust. But something else is going on beneath the surface of Nemeqit, something none of them ever imagined. And this time, Bernice really can't save everyone... 2. HMS Surprise Written by Alexander Vlahos Mortis Dock: the last manned shipyard in the cosmos. Population: 6002. And now, not a soul in sight... at least, until Bernice, Peter and Jack are drawn off-course. Where have all the workers disappeared to? Why is Jack behaving oddly? And what is the secret of the HMS Surprise? Only a stranger in a lighthouse holds the key... but can he be trusted? 3. The Curse of Fenman Written by Gary Russell It's Advent Day on Legion: a time that traditionally calls for celebration; a day spent with the people you love, when all the family come together, setting aside their differences... or when they bring old scores to settle. An old foe has been biding her time, manipulating the people and events around Bernice Summerfield for as long as any of them can remember... She knows so many secrets - the secrets they've all been hiding - but not everybody wants to learn the truth. Today is the day Avril Fenman comes to Legion. She comes to claim her son... and to set Bernice on her final, lonely battle. But will her friends stand by her, one last time?

Bernice Summerfield - New Frontiers (Unabridged)

Brand Management, by Christopher Cooper "You're listening to Live Audio Stream G371, the only official source of government approved easy listening entertainment, as sponsored by the Dominicci Corporation. It's the thirteenth day of the thirteenth month, and that means just one thing, people - it's time to PARTAYYY...!" Bernice Summerfield needs a job. Professor Harry Burtenshaw thinks she's just the ticket. But with the people of Lyndyaz celebrating their most important festival, and the ruling Dominicci Corporation maintaining control with draconian glee, has Bernice turned up in the wrong place at the wrong time? Bad Habits, by Simon Barnard & Paul Morris Meet Sister Bernice - newest initiate into the order of Saint Celestion. Such is her devotion to the faith that she has undertaken a pilgrimage to the planet Agora, birthplace of the blessed Saint himself. The pilgrims aren't alone, however. Also on the planet is a team of archaeologists searching for the lost tomb of Celestion - a subject in which Sister Bernice seems curiously interested... In her quest to unearth an ancient relic that will point the way to Legion, Bernice will face some fearsome challenges: the dreaded Blood Beast of Thaloon, the randiest Bishop in the galaxy, and an ancient cult with some very bad habits indeed... Paradise Frost, by David Llewellyn Kaff Zarnak was once the holiday destination of choice for the rich and famous. At least, it was until the planet spun off its axis, and a deadly virus wiped out its population. Now it's absolutely the last place anyone wants to visit: a barren, ice-encrusted wasteland, sitting amongst the stars. So when Bernice and her loud-mouthed cab driver Ray are drawn off course, it's fair to say that they've both had better days. Taking refuge inside the Xanadu Tower resort, the trio encounter Kaff Zarnak's only survivors... and maybe the only remaining clue to what took place there. But food supplies are low, Sandroaches are attacking on every side, and the only hope of their survival seems to be locked at the top of the Tower. Perhaps there's a reason what happens on Kaff Zarnak stays on Kaff Zarnak...

Bernice Summerfield, Road Trip (Unabridged)

1. Vesuvius Falling Written by Tony Lee Things aren't going great for Bernice Summerfield. Her one time comrade-cum-adversary, Irving Braxiatel, isn't the man she knew; her long-lost teenage son, Peter, isn't exactly pleased to see her; and she's woken up with one hell of a hangover... But when an ancient and dormant spacecraft threatens the safety of Legion City, Bernice and Peter have to put their differences aside in order to investigate an inexplicable mystery involving time-travelling scientists, corporate espionage and simple, cold-blooded murder... Can Benny discover the true killer before a warp core breach destroys them all? Can a five thousand-year-old body solve a murder yet to happen? And will the Vesuvius fall to the planet below...? 2. Shades of Gray Written and Directed by Scott Handcock 'They used to say this house attracts nothing but evil... What are we all doing here, I wonder?' Many years ago, in an old and dilapidated house, a priceless and powerful artefact was hidden: an item that has long since been forgotten... at least until Bernice, Ruth and Jack were sent to collect it. In the depths of Triptic House, Bernice and her friends find themselves at the mercy of an ancient and ruthless entity, one that has been yearning for escape, biding its time and going mad... It has lived so very long now, with so many stories to share - tales of haunted mental institutions; tormented tapestries; living nightmares - and through each of them now, its stories shall be told. They shall be told, lived, suffered, shared... and ultimately, concluded. 3. Everybody Loves Irving Written by Miles Richardson Bernice and Braxiatel have never quite seen eye-to-eye... but now he wants to make amends. He's taking her on a leisure drive across Legion's deadly surface to an Ikerian settlement not far from Legion City. Their mission: shopping. The Ikerians are renowned traders, dealing in everything from the finest art to cut-price battlecruisers. They're willing to do a good deal too. After all, they know Irving Braxiatel of old... and better than this Brax knows himself. Everywhere they go and everyone they deal with, Braxiatel's reputation precedes him. He has good friends and even better enemies... but one thing's for certain. Everybody loves Irving.

Bernice Summerfield - Legion (Unabridged)

“Terribly moving. A clear-sighted, poignant rumination on loneliness, love, the melancholy of age and of youth—and, in its quiet way, the end of the world.”— China Miéville, author of Perdido Street Station An utterly original coming-of-age tale, marked by wrenching humor and staggering charisma, about a young woman resisting the savagery of adulthood in a community of the elderly rejecting the promise of youth. “It’s too hot for most of the clothes I packed to come here, when I thought this would only be for a week or two. My mother kissed me with those purple-brown lips of hers and said, we’ll be back, hold tight.” Seventeen-year-old Kid doesn’t know where her parents are. They left her with her grandmother Lolly, promising to return soon. That was months ago. Now, Lolly is dead and Kid is alone, stranded ten miles off the coast of New Hampshire on tiny Swan Island. Unable to reach her parents, and with no other relatives to turn to, Kid works for a neighbor, airbrushing the past—digitally retouching family photos and movies—to earn enough money to survive. Surrounded by the vast ocean, Kid’s temporary home is no ordinary vacation retreat. The island is populated by an idiosyncratic group of elderly separatists who left behind the youth-obsessed mainland—”the Bad Place”—to create their own alternative community. These residents call themselves the Swans. Kid calls them the Wrinklies. Even as Kid tries to be good and quiet and patient, the adolescent’s presence unnerves the Swans, turning some downright hostile. They don’t care if she has nowhere to go, they just want her gone. She is a reminder of all they’ve left behind and are determined to forget. But Kid isn’t the only problem threatening the insular community. Swan Island is eroding into the rising sea, threatening the Swans’ very existence there. To find a way forward, the Kid must come to terms with the realities of her life and an unknown future that is hers alone to embrace. Season Butler makes her literary debut with an ambitious work of bold imagination. Tough and tender, compassionate and ferocious, intelligent and provocative, Cygnet is a meditation on death and life, past and future, aging and youth, memory and forgetting, that explores what it means to find acceptance—of things past and those to come.

A Box Full of Murders

""In this stellar debut thriller from playwright Robinson, London-based interpreter Revelle Lee considers the consequences of sabotaging a murder investigation."" —Publishers Weekly, starred review With the taut psychological drama of The Silent Patient and the propulsive storytelling of The Club, a chilling debut thriller about a London-based interpreter with dark secrets—and the enemy determined to take her down. Innocent or guilty: it all hinges on a single word . . . Thanks to a nomadic childhood, Revelle Lee is fluent in ten languages, which she puts to use at crime scenes and in courtrooms across London. Being a court interpreter is a stressful job, one that makes her privy to the most personal and often dark details of others’ lives. In the meantime, she’s close to adopting a six-year-old boy named Elliot from foster care. Revelle is determined to be the mother she never had, and to make up for a terrible mistake she made years ago. Though the sweet, loving little boy is learning to trust her, she’s begun receiving disturbing messages which she suspects are from his birth family. When one of her cases involves a murder victim she knew slightly, Revelle fears she’s seeing a miscarriage of justice play out. Putting both the adoption and her career at risk, she deliberately mistranslates a Polish man’s alibi to put his accused friend behind bars, even though he insists he’s innocent. Revelle thinks she’s gotten away with it free and clear. But someone seems to know what she’s done—and about her long-ago error and its terrible consequences. And they intend to destroy Revelle’s life, piece by piece. . .

The Interpreter

Brought to you by Penguin. The prizewinning author of The Ungrateful Refugee asks who is believed in our society, who is not - and why? Dina Nayeri's wide-ranging, groundbreaking new book combines deep reportage with her own life experience to examine what constitutes believability in our society. Intent on exploring ideas of persuasion and performance, Nayeri takes us behind the scenes in emergency rooms, corporate boardrooms, asylum interviews and into her own family, to ask - where lies the difference between being believed and being dismissed? What does this mean for our culture? As personal as it is profound in its reflections on language, history, morality and compassion, Who Gets Believed? investigates the unspoken social codes that determine how we relate to one another.

Doctor Who: Ten Days of Christmas

Brought to you by Puffin. A brand new audio bundle of three Doctor Who stories to celebrate the 60th anniversary. 1990s - Wannabes by Dave Rudden It's Dublin in 1994, and the Doctor and Donna have arraived at the tiny nightclub known as Headlong. Headlong is famous for precisely one thing - holding the karaoke night where four young women came together to make the biggest girl band of the 90s: the Honeybloods. Donna has convinced the Doctor to visit their first ever concert (she reckons she could have been one of them if the timelines were different) - and he has begrudgingly agreed. Naturally the band is kidnapped by a deadly pack of siren-like creatures who adapt to and feed off human adulation, usually harvested by taking the form of cultural icons. With Dublin and the world to save, Donna may get her chance to perform on the world's biggest stage . . . 2000s - The Monster in the Cupboard by Kalynn Bayron When the Doctor and Rose stumble across thirteen-year-old Lily, they both agree she needs their help. Lily thinks there are monsters in the closet, hiding under the bed. And that they've taken her mother and brother - who went missing months ago. When asked about the monster, Lily can only say it's made of immense light and power. Rose and the Doctor must find out who and what the creature is, and where it's taken Lily's family. It is a search that will take them right back to the childhood of Lily's grandmother, and another disappearance all those years ago . . . 2010s - The Angel of Redemption by Nikita Gill A poem of tragedy and beauty . . . The Weeping Angels are an ancient race of terrible power. With the ability to propel their victims backwards in time, their true form is a mystery - they turn to stone on sight. So they wander the universe, cursed never to see one another. But they see everything else: the whole course of time and space - even the journey of their deadliest enemy, the Doctor. In this extraordinary, epic poem, the Weeping Angels sing the story of the years they've battled the Doctor, and everything in between, as - like a Greek Chorus - they tell the world with their tragic tale.

Doctor Who: Icons 1

In "Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands," Mary Seacole presents a captivating autobiographical narrative that explores her remarkable life as a nurse and entrepreneur during the mid-19th century. Written in an engaging and vivid prose style, the book reflects the author's rich cultural heritage and experiences, blending elements of travelogue, memoir, and social commentary. Seacole's vivid depictions of her adventures across Jamaica, the United States, and the Crimean War showcase her resilience and dedication to serving soldiers in dire circumstances, while also providing a unique perspective on racial identities during an era of colonial expansion and conflict. Mary Seacole, a Jamaican-born woman of Scottish descent, faced significant obstacles in her pursuit of a nursing career, particularly because of the racial biases of her time. Her determination to provide care, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, led her to establish the "British Hotel" in Balaklava during the Crimean War, where she tended to injured soldiers. Through her experiences, Seacole challenges the dominant narratives of history that often sidelined the contributions of women of color in healthcare and warfare, offering a powerful testament to her legacy. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of race, gender, and imperialism in 19th-century literature. Seacole's enchanting storytelling and her profound insights into human resilience make it not just a historical account but a timeless exploration of compassion and courage that resonates with contemporary readers.

The Ugly Truth

When Bernice Summerfield was invited to participate in a cult archaeology broadcast on the mysterious world of Saravas, she could never have imagined the secrets she might unearth there... or the terrible Truth that would stalk her back to Legion. With friends and family by her side, Bernice quickly finds herself flung into the face of danger: either combatting deranged despots at terraformed garden parties, appeasing gunslingers in the White Rabbit bar, or simply attempting to survive on a barren desert planet, all alone... The odds are stacked against her, and this is undoubtedly the end for Bernice Summerfield... but she's determined to go out fighting! 1. Big Dig Written by Hamish Steele Bernice has been invited to appear on a very special live edition of the archaeology series Big Dig: a programme she grew up with as a girl... which now makes her feel very old. Not as old, however, as the mysterious stone robot she unwittingly uncovers during an excavation on the planet Saravas. With no other trace of civilisation, this could be the only clue to the truth of the planet's inhabitants. But when Ruth and Jack start acting strangely, Bernice realises there was a reason things were hidden... and secrets aren't the only things to be buried. Welcome to the biggest Big Dig ever! 2. The Revenant's Carnival Written by Martin Day Bernice Summerfield has never been to Moros Prime before - and it's unlikely she'll be rushing back. Moros is a world of diplomacy and warfare, ruled over by a variety of creeps, dandies and outright weirdoes, where cybernetic implants are the latest fashion accessory and the native humans are ethically harvested for their organs. Peter Summerfield, however, has a job to do: heading the security team at the country estate of Willem van der Heever, the effective ruler of Moros Prime. Because Van der Heever is throwing a masquerade ball - which means fancy dress, fluorescent peacocks and an almost certain attempt on his life. Van der Heever is not without his enemies... But as Bernice and Peter uncover more about his past, whose side will they end up taking? 3. The Brimstone Kid Written by David Llewellyn "Welcome to the White Rabbit. What'll it be?" "You can start by locking and bolting the doors. Then everyone in here can keep real calm..." Bernice and Irving were expecting another quiet night at the White Rabbit saloon - their only customers a veteran prospector named Toothless Bob and timid schoolteacher Miss Hannigan. But the evening takes a sinister turn with the arrival of the Brimstone Kid, a wanted outlaw, and the terrifying bounty hunter Cazador hot on his trail... Soon, Bernice and Irving find themselves caught up in an adventure involving giant, flightless crows, buried treasure and the galaxy's most ruthless detective agency. 4. The Winning Side Written by James Goss Bernice is lost in the ruins of an alien world. Long ago, something arrived there. Something arrived and found an idyllic civilisation: a city of wonders full of artists and scientists and poets... Something came to this world and destroyed it. Wandering the ruins, Bernice tries to solve the mystery. What came to this planet? What wiped out its people? Was it a plague? An alien invasion? Bernice Summerfield explores all that remains of paradise. And she discovers the name of the creature that came and wiped it out: 'Bernice Summerfield' 5. In Living Memory Written by Scott Handcock and Gary Russell Bernice Summerfield is alone. Having been captured - albeit technically rescued - by an old enemy, she finally learns the truth her friends and their disappearances... and realises that she is a cog in a far greater machine. Whatever happens, this is now the end for Bernice Summerfield... and she's determined to go down fighting. But how long can she resist when the odds are stacked against her? And is there really such a thing as a happy ending...?

Bernice Summerfield - Missing Persons (Unabridged)

The Kraken's Lament, by Mark Wright "Gather round, wretched peoples of Atlantis, for Acanthus the Talesmith has a story to tell! A story of adventure, of courage, of a Winged Goddess searching for truth and sanctuary in a friendless city... On the streets of this fair city, the Goddess searches for a path to the child of two worlds, but finds instead only questions and danger. Be astonished as she defies the rage of the dreaded Kraken! Wonder as she sups with the tragic Queen in her carved stone palace, high above the city! Marvel at her bravery as she gazes deep into the Further Beyond! Come one, come all and listen! Listen to Acanthus the Talesmith and let him amaze you with his story... the story of Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Kraken's Lament!" The Temple of Questions, by Jacqueline Rayner Life can be dangerous when a god's got it in for you. Bernice and her Historian allies, Ruth and Leonidas, are trying to unearth the truth behind the mysterious world they're living in. Poseidon, god of the seas, is apparently offering them answers - but only if they play his games. And he's not playing fair... Bernice's new family is in danger of being ripped apart by forces that are beyond their understanding. To keep her friends, she might have to lose the games... and her life with them. Private Enemy No 1, by Tony Lee The Great Leader is dead... Long live the Great Leader! Atlantis is in disarray. The Historians are hiding Bernice, Leonidas and Ruth within their safe house - but the world is changing more than they could have ever imagined. People are being erased from existence, their memories wiped clean and replaced with those of others. Entire buildings are altering, times are changing... and the Hierophants are on the move. Can Bernice and her friends save Atlantis from the end of existence? Or will they too be assimilated? Judgement Day, by Scott Handcock Atlantis has fallen. The Epoch are in command. And terrible decisions lie in wait for Bernice Summerfield. Bernice and her comrades will be put to the ultimate test - facing Neanderthals on prehistoric Earth; alien creatures on the streets of Victorian London; and the Epoch in the far, far future - but which world will they choose to make their home? Their journeys have been long and arduous. But soon, they will all end. Because Bernice Summerfield dies today... and, when she does, reality will fall apart around her.

One of the last people to see him alive, the crime is pinned on Junior Clerk Dean who ‘seems like the type’.

The one Tom used to blackmail Lee’s friends and enemies alike to do his bidding? The one containing secrets some might kill to keep hidden? Maybe finding it will be the key to solving his murder.

The Most Secret Memory of Men

Brought to you by Penguin. A luminous, uplifting and deeply moving memoir by a care worker, told through her funny, heartbreaking, sometimes frustrating, and always eye-opening encounters with the often overlooked and marginalised people she cares for. 'Being as close as this to someone is a uniquely precious place to be. It is a place where secrets are revealed and fears are shared and outrageous jokes are made that could not be told to anyone else. It is a coal face of human experience' Kate never expected to become a home care worker. But when she left her senior role in the NHS, burnt-out and disheartened, she thought caring for people in their own homes would be a simpler job. Despite being determined not to become too involved with her 'customers', she soon found herself developing firm friendships, forging deep connections and bearing witness to the extraordinary drama to be found in ordinary lives. With energy, compassion and clarity, her memoir gives an astonishing insight into this unsung - and often maligned - profession, and into the hidden lives of the housebound and infirm. From Beryl who screams like a banshee whenever Kate tries to wash her, but collapses in giggles when her toes are tickled, to bawdy Mr Radbert who 'promised to give me his car when he can remember where he left it'. Every Kind of People is clear-eyed about the challenges facing the NHS and the care system. But it is above all a celebration of humanity and of the life-changing impact of caring, on those who offer it and those who receive it. 'The work of a natural storyteller ... All kinds of brilliant' JON McGREGOR ‘I am in love with Kate's storytelling, her ability to see the person and her fabulous, dry humour. This is a book about caring, and it's also a book about being in love with humanity’ KATHRYN MANNIX 'An extraordinary account of what it is to care for others, both beautiful and painful to read. This book is a compassionate invitation to get up close to the human condition and those who attend to it' DR GWEN ADSHEAD, author of The Devil You Know 'An extraordinary and important book that will make you laugh, cry, admire and despair in equal measure... A wonderful achievement' DAVID HASLAM ©2024 Kathryn Faulke (P)2024 Penguin Audio
