An exclusive short story for World Book Day from one of our bestselling authors. This brilliant comic thriller will have you on the edge of your seat.

 Albert Rossi has many qualities. He's a man who can spot polyester at a hundred paces. He's the person you'd have on speed dial were you to find yourself at the centre of a tailoring emergency. He has an excellent working knowledge of Bonnie Tyler's back catalogue. These skills are essential to a Gentleman's Outfitter from Eastcote. They are not necessarily on the job description for recruiting an assassin.

 When Albert hits an unsuspecting pedestrian whilst listening to 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' in his Nissan Micra he is amazed to escape the inevitable knock on the door from the police. Instead he receives a mysterious phone call from a man who sounds surprisingly like Stephen Hawking telling him that his money will be left in the 'usual' place. At that very moment, Albert Rossi decides to change careers.

 Albert Rossi's life is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Quantum of Tweed - The Man with the Nissan Micra

La pitié et la faiblesse n'ont pas leur place dans les steppes d'Asie centrale. Lorsque Yesugei, khan de la tribu des Loups, meurt sous les coups des Tatars, ses anciens compagnons en profitent pour prendre le pouvoir. À onze ans, Temüdjin est bien trop jeune pour s'opposer à ce coup de force. Impuissant, le second fils de Yesugei est abandonné avec sa famille à la merci des bêtes sauvages et du vent glacé, livré à une mort certaine. Mais c'est ainsi que se forgent les destins. Et celui de Temüdjin, hors du commun, est de devenir le plus grand conquérant mongol, le prodigieux Gengis Khan...

Le loup des plaines (L'épopée de Gengis Khan, #1)

The second in the bestselling new Conqueror series on Genghis Khan, it is a wonderful, epic story which Conn Iggulden brings brilliantly to life.

 The gathering of the tribes of the Mongols has been a long time in coming but finally, triumphantly, Temujin of the Wolves, Genghis Khan, is given the full accolade of the overall leader and their oaths. Now he can begin to meld all the previously warring people into one army, one nation. But the task Genghis has set himself and them is formidable. He is determined to travel to the land of the long-time enemy, the Chin and attack them there. The distances and terrain-the wide deserts, the impenetrable mountains-make it a difficult venture even for the legendary Mongolian speed of movement, but the greatest problem is that of the complex fortifications, a way of fighting wars of a settled urban population which the nomadic Mongolians had never come across. Finding ways to tackle that and keeping his tribes together in a strange environment presents another new and exciting challenge for Genghis Khan.

 Not only must Genghis succeed in this incredible campaign, but he must also reconcile the restless factions among his own generals, mediate between his ambitious brothers and cope with his own reactions to his growing sons. The young warrior has become a notable and victorious military commander of thousands: he must now learn to become a great leader of peoples of many different races and religions.

 Lords of the Bow is a deeply satisfying novel. It is epic in scope, convincing, and fascinating in the narration of an extraordinary story. Above all Genghis Khan continues to dominate the scene as he matures from the young boy of Wolf of the Plains to the great Conqueror.

Lords of the Bow

Jaloux de sa prospérité, un regard de glace s'est braqué sur Darien. Celui d'un faux roi, assoiffé de conquête. Ses soldats apporteront le désespoir et la désolation dans la cité. En proie à la trahison, l'antique capitale semble près de s'effondrer. Mais entre les murs de cette grande cité, une petite troupe s'assemble. Tellius les connaît tous : un chasseur, un joueur, un revenant, un colosse, une sorcière... et le saint des lames de Shiang. Lorsque Darien elle-même est menacée, Tellius leur demande de la défendre. Une cité est aussi importante que la vie de ceux qui y habitent. Les rues, les cours, les maisons et les tavernes de Darien sont comme un feu de joie sur la colline, un symbole de vie et de lumière dans un monde implacable. C'est pourquoi ils sont prêts à mourir pour la sauver.
