Book Description
In 1942, enemies—human and otherwise—lurk in every corner of Europe. Upon infiltration of an Axis technical research facility, a spy named Amelia (code name: “Annika”) discovers new, frightening weapons, along with tales of strange, blue-skinned people. Determined to destroy the cache of weapons, Annika and her young apprentice, Daniel, board a train to Lastpeak, in Norway. When the train is stranded due to an avalanche, the driver, Miles—who doesn’t know what he’s transporting—and other members of the crew set out on a harrowing trek through sub-zero wilderness in search of a nearby Norwegian town. What they discover there is a chilling, mind-bending reality that threatens the very future of humankind. Meanwhile, back on the train, Annika has entered a battle of wits with the handsome and mysterious weapons expert Khalid Pasha as she tries to gain access to the secrets he is guarding. But the true extent of the secrets aboard the train is beyond both Annika and Khalid’s wildest imagination. All will come to a terrifying conclusion as espionage, sci-fi, and romance convene in Ahmad Hani H.'s phantastic vision of history.

Book Description
In this suspenseful tale of seduction and deception, a wealthy banker is smitten by an alluring young woman while traveling aboard the express train from Beijing to Shanghai. A consummate storyteller and one of the most popular novelists of his day, Zhang Henshui sweeps us on board with them and takes us through train stations and back and forth between first, second, and third class cars, evoking the smells of this microcosm of the urban world. We see what various travelers wear; we hear their conversations; we feel the chill or the warmth of each car; we detect a trace of perfume in one, pickled vegetables and greasy meats in another. Here is popular Chinese fiction at its best. Shanghai Express was considered "entertainment" fiction and was enormously popular in the 1930s. William Lyell’s sparkling translation at last allows an English-reading audience to share in the fun.

Book Description
For the first time, Kate Ceberano, one of Australia's best-loved entertainers, shares her story. In her own unmistakeable voice, Kate Ceberano takes us on a very personal journey from her suburban childhood, her immersion in the Melbourne club scene of the eighties and her rise to stardom at the age of fourteen when she fronted the wildly popular funk band I'm Talking, to the life of a female performer and recording artist in London, Los Angeles and New York. With parallel careers as a pop and jazz singer and songwriter, Kate has received the highest awards in the Australian music industry including the ARIA for Best Female Artist. She has delighted audiences in Harry M. Miller's hugely successful Jesus Christ Superstar, won a legion of fans when she won Dancing with the Stars, and made a triumphant debut for Opera Australia in South Pacific. Now she reveals, for the first time, just what that was like. People have been talking about Kate Ceberano since she was a teenager: Hugh Jackman described her as having 'truly one of the great voices this country has produced'; for Rolling Stone she is 'pure, soulful and powerful'. Now Kate is talking for herself. Accompanied by never before seen photos.
