Paradise can be murder! When Christian Fletcher dies in the fire that consumes the Bounty, destroyed against his will to prevent any possibility of ever returning to England, the men who risked everything for freedom find themselves without their leader — and imprisoned forever in paradise. 'I never liked Fletcher Christian. Mister Fletcher Christian. Yet after I held him as he died, watching the great HMS Bounty burn, I feared for what the future may hold. The eighteen of us had risked everything for freedom; we had stood up to Captain Bligh's tyranny, but with no good man to lead us we were imprisoned in paradise. Blissful blue skies and tranquil bays were not going to be enough to save us from ourselves!' A story of low treachery and high adventure, murder under the palm trees, trouble in paradise and a lost Eden in the South Seas.

From the co-author of The Dangerous Book for Boys, comes the first in the widely anticipated Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants. A remarkable story of heroism and adventure, of a boy who had to become a man too soon, of a family and a tribe who had to learn to win to survive. A man without a tribe was at great risk, so the young boy abandoned with his siblings on the harsh Mongolian plains had to struggle to avoid death. He survived both starvation and hostile attacks by learning remarkable leadership skills and gathering a group of outsiders like himself. Hunted and alone, he dreamed of uniting the tribes into one house, one nation. He became a great warrior. He would become father to his people. He would be Genghis Khan.

Historical fiction master Conn Iggulden retells the gripping story of the English civil war in his new Wars of the Roses series. King Henry V — the great Lion of England — is long dead. In 1437 his gentle son comes of age and takes the throne. Frail in body and mind, King Henry VI is dependent on his supporters to run his kingdom. Richard, Duke of York, however, believes that without a strong king England will fall. His fears seem justified as English power comes under threat from France, and discontent and rebellion spread at home. On the counsel of his advisers, Henry marries the young princess Margaret of Anjou, in order to forge an alliance with France — but is it too late? As the storm clouds gather, King Henry and his queen are besieged abroad and at home. Who can save the throne? Who will save the kingdom? The Wars of the Roses series will be a benchmark for historical fiction, showcasing Conn Iggulden at his finest. Praise for Conn Iggulden: This is energetic, competent stuff; Iggulden knows his material and his audience. (Independent). Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction. (Daily Mirror). Iggulden... tells an absolutely cracking story. (The Times).
