Only Here, Only Now (2024)
Tom Newlands
"It's not every day you read a modern classic. But this feels destined to become one. A thunderous achievement."
thumb
Moral Injuries (2024)
Christie Watson
"Moral Injuries takes the reader into a world where medicine meets morality, and every choice has a cost. With page-turning twists, it explores friendship, betrayal and the decisions that define us."
thumb
Orbital (2023)
Samantha Harvey
"Orbital is a magnificent, thunderous work and yet so brief, so fleeting. It is an elegy to planet Earth in all its splendour and fragility. Exquisitely well-written, it confirms Samantha Harvey as a singular talent."
