        The Last Case of Journalist Cronina

        by Anastasiia Pika

        Aliona Cronina is a young Ukrainian journalist who started working in a highly censored publication, fully controlled by its Russian sponsor. During Euromaidan, she realized that she can no longer be a detached witness to the events and wants to fight Kremlin propaganda and reveal the truth to people. Aliona will build a brilliant career: IT journalist, Ukrainian parliament employee, MI6 intelligence agent — and she will try to thwart the Russian invasion of Ukraine that started on February 24, 2022.   The novel consists of four parts, each chapter corresponding to a case file the heroine takes on. The novel is not just about modern Ukrainian history in 2012–2022; it is primarily about the development of Ukrainian journalism and democratic society. The author seeks to answer the question of why neither censorship, nor Putin’s propaganda in the Ukrainian media, nor the attempts to suppress Ukrainian revolutions by force, nor even forced emigration and war can make a dent in Ukrainians’ inner strength and perseverance.

        The Unsinkable Herr Goering

        by Ian Cassidy

        Contrary to what the so-called history books tell you, Hermann Goering, Hitler's Deputy, Head of the Luftwaffe and second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, did not leave this world courtesy of a cyanide tablet secreted in the heel of his jackboot minutes before his appointment with the hangman. The truth is far more bizarre. THE UNSINKABLE HERR GOERING is a monumental debut novel by Ian Cassidy. It follows Goering, a man blindsided by hubris, on his attempted escape – from both Germany as well as from the Allies – and the inept men of mettle who put a stop to it. It is a hilariously depraved story of of villainous villains, slightly less villainous heroes, bad behavior (and even worse beer), and uncomfortable underwear. Not since A Confederacy of Dunces has a book brought to life such audaciously flawed characters. It gets so much wrong, yet so much right.

      • MY COUNTRY AFRICA

        by Andrée Blouin

        My Country, Africa chronicles, in her own eloquent words, the extraordinary life of Andree Blouin, a pivotal figure in Africa’s struggles for independence, who became chief of protocol to Congolese prime minister Patrice Lumumba. In an absorbing and intensely personal account, Andrée traces her evolution from rebellious schoolgirl to "black pasionaria.” Possibly the only woman to emerge a leader of the liberation movements of the 1950s and 1960s, she was at times branded a courtesan and a witch. Slander, expulsion, even attempts against her life did not deter her while she was embroiled in the events that led to the assassination of Lumumba. She won world acclaim as the Madame de Stael of the African Independence Movement as she fought to teach her humiliated and resigned countrywomen a new sense of pride and dignity.
