About the book
Murderbot just wants to binge its favorite shows in peace. Instead, it’s dealing with kidnapped humans, a sudden rescue mission, and an old frenemy in urgent need of help.
In Network Effect, the first full-length novel in Martha Wells’ Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award–winning Murderbot Diaries, everyone’s favorite anxiety-ridden, media-obsessed security unit is once again pulled into a life-or-death situation it absolutely didn’t ask for. Armed with sarcasm, weaponized competence, and zero patience, Murderbot must decide if saving the humans (again) is really worth it.
Full of razor-sharp wit, action, and deeply relatable A.I. angst, Network Effect delivers everything fans love—now with more pages, more problems, and more Murderbot.

A detox retreat. Bland tea. Tasteless yogurt. And—naturally—an international nuclear crisis.

His mission takes him to the Bahamas, where sun-drenched beaches hide dark secrets. There, he encounters the beautiful and elusive Domino, the mistress of SPECTRE's shark-obsessed agent, Emilio Largo.
But Largo answers to someone even more dangerous: the cunning and sadistic Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Time is ticking. The stakes are global. And Bond? He’s about to get wet.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Tom Keeler, a former elite Air Force operative, wants nothing more than a quiet escape in the French village his mother once loved. But tranquility shatters when three men attack him, and his elderly cousin turns up dead—murdered with a sharpened screwdriver. Something’s wrong in Alencourt, and the local police seem complicit.
As Keeler digs deeper, he uncovers layers of corruption and brutality that test even his hardened instincts. The rot in this picturesque town runs deep, and its ruthless perpetrators will do anything to protect their secrets.
For Keeler, this isn’t just a mystery—it’s personal. As his investigation heats up, so does the danger, and Alencourt’s enemies may have underestimated the deadliest force they’ve ever faced. Will Keeler survive the fight—or burn it all down trying?

Choose your retailer
About the book
Harry Bauer was trained to kill—and he’s damn good at it. But after a rogue assassination attempt gets him kicked out of the SAS, he’s dumped back into civilian life with no mission, no paycheck, and no idea how to be “normal.”
Then the Russian Mafia offers him a job: take out the Albanians, get rich, stay lethal. Sounds simple—until a mysterious colonel and a covert operation called Cobra throw him headfirst into a shadow war far deadlier than anything he faced overseas.
From USA Today and Amazon bestselling author Blake Banner comes Dead of Night, a gritty, high-octane thriller that introduces a hero who doesn’t play by the rules—because he is the weapon. If Jack Reacher had a darker twin, his name would be Harry Bauer.
