3 The Sword Saint Empire of Salt Book III C.F. Iggulden

The third instalment in a brand-new dark fantasy series from the country's most daring historical novelist

Conn Iggulden is back with the spellbinding third instalment in the EMPIRE OF SALT trilogy.

True darkness flooded in as the lamp winked out. It filled his mouth and eyes and ears like liquid and the silence was profound and eternal. Until something moved, a scrape of rock that filled Jean with horror. He still had the belt wrapped around his hand and he was up and shuffling with the wall at his back, trying to guess how far away the door was. He thought he sensed something watching him, something that would cry out his guilt. His own breath was the loudest thing in the world. When he felt the far door frame under his hands, he almost wept and clung to it in relief. He never saw the shadow detach from that much deeper darkness and follow him. It was no bigger than a cat, though it crept on more than four limbs.

C. F. Iggulden is one of the most successful authors of historical fiction writing today. He has written three previous bestselling historical series and two stand alone novels: Dunstan and The Falcon of Sparta. Shiang is the second novel in his epic fantasy series, The Empire of Salt.

33 Airhead The Imperfect Art of Making News Emily Maitlis

Newsnight anchor Emily Maitlis gives us a peek behind the curtain of interviews with the most powerful and charismatic individuals of our age

It's thirty seconds to air. The interviewee has walked off in a huff. The next guest hasn't arrived. There's a wall of riot police behind me. The cameraman only speaks Hungarian and has out my head out of the shot but I don't know his word for 'wide angle'. Then comes the quiet. Utter silence in my head. We've just lost comms with the whole team back in London. I can choose to scream. Or to surrender to the moment.

Then, a hand is waved at me as a visual cue. And I start talking.

The things that are said on camera are only part of the story. Behind every interview there is a backstory. How it came about. How it ended. The compromises that were made. The regrets, the rows, the deeply inappropriate comedy. Making news is an essential but imperfect art. It rarely goes according to plan.

I never expected to find myself wandering around the Maharani of Jaipurs bedroom with Bill Clinton or invited to the Miss USA beauty pageant by its owner, Donald Trump. I never October 2019 expected to be thrown into a provincial cuban jail, or to be 9781405938341 drinking red wine at Steve Bannon's kitchen table or spend B Format three hours in a lift with Alan Partridge. I certainly didnt expect £8.99 : Paperback the Dalai Lama to tell me the story of his most memorable poo. 352 pages The beauty of television is its ability to simplify, That's also its weakness: It can distill everything down to one snapshot, one soundbite. Then the news cycle moves on.

Airhead is my step back from the white noise. Before and after the camera started rolling, this is what really happened.

The Canadian born Sheffield raised British television presenter and journalist began her career in Hong Kong. She lives in London with one husband, two boys, and a large whippet.

53 Armageddon: A Ladybird Expert Book Joann Fletcher

An accessible and authoritative introduction to the true history of the biblical concept of Armageddon for adult readers

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Armageddon is an accessible and authoritative introduction to an idea so deep- rooted in our culture that it's often referred to as the end of the world.

Written by Egyptologist and lecturer of archaeology Joann Fletcher, Armageddon explores the true history behind the biblical prophecy of the destruction of the world at the 'hill of Armageddon': Megiddo.

Inside you'll learn we need not wait for the armies of heaven and hell, for the battle of Armageddon has already been fought, over and over again. Since the first recorded battle in history took place at Megiddo in c.1457 BC, 34 major conflicts have been fought in the last 34 centuries.

With its violent past ever present, Israelis and Palestinians continue to kill each other across their shared landscape, in which the hill of Megiddo reveals little of what lies beneath - over four millennia of war, fire, blood, death, and humans' pathological inability to ever learn from the past.

48 The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz The Sunday Times Bestseller Jeremy Dronfield

The inspiring true story of a father and son's fight to stay together and to survive the Holocaust

In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer in Vienna, was seized by the Nazis. Along with his teenage son, Fritz, he was sent to Buchenwald in Germany. There began an unimaginable ordeal that saw the pair beaten, starved and forced to build the very concentration camp they were held in.

Based on Gustav's secret diary and meticulous archive research, this book tells his and Fritz's story for the first time - a story of courage and survival unparalleled in the history of the Holocaust.

56 The Pianist of Yarmouk Aeham Ahmad

A powerful, moving account of life in Damascus, and a story of how the power of music can unite people in the face of conflict

One morning on the outskirts of Damascus, two starving friends are walking through their desolate city and come across a familiar street that has been turned to rubble, concrete bridges towering above them like tombs and houses turned inside out. Aeham turns to the only comfort he has left and pushes his piano into the street to play a song of hope to his fellow Syrians. It is a song that will reach far beyond the streets of his home and carry consequences he could never have dreamed of.

This tender and poetic account of Aeham's experiences, from losing his city, friends and family to leaving his country and finding safety, will move readers with its raw and candid emotion. This is a gripping portrait of a man's search for solace and of a country that has been fiercely torn apart.

Aeham Ahmad, born in Damascus in 1988, grew up in Yarmouk, a suburb of Damascus. From the age of four onwards his father encouraged his musical talent and at seven he received piano lessons at the Arab Institute in Damascus. He later studied music education in Homs and worked as a music teacher.

In 2015 he was forced to flee to Germany because of the war in Syria. Today he lives with his family in Wiesbaden and gives October 2019 concerts all over Europe. In December 2015, Ahmad was 9780241347522 awarded the International Beethoven Prize for Human Rights. B Format £8.99 : Paperback This is his first book. 288 pages
