    Shooting alien scumbags on their home turf. Flying in the face of common sense, the Unity League has decided to send a peace mission into Ragger space. A single shuttle named Colorado carries the hopes of billions. Lieutenant Tanner Conway finds himself amongst the delegation. He isn’t happy, having fought the Raggers before - he knows you can’t make peace when the enemy sees you as cattle to be slaughtered and eaten. Fortunately, the ULAF high command is led by experienced officers who aren’t stupid enough to trust the Raggers either. The result: a mission for Captain Jake Griffin. He’s tasked with following the Colorado in a heavily-armed assault craft to watch for signs of treachery. When betrayal comes, Griffin delivers retribution in the form of a nuclear warhead, which wipes out much of a primary Ragger facility and almost wrecks his spaceship. He ends up trapped in a place far beneath the ground. Elsewhere, Conway and his squad are left in the ruins with no hope of rescue. Somehow, they must fight their way to safety. The odds are overwhelmingly stacked against them. The Ragger base isn’t completely destroyed and the aliens have spaceships as well as thousands of ground troops. Conway’s goal lies right where the enemy are strongest. The coming few days will be a test that neither Griffin or Conway wanted. Both are amongst the few with the skills to succeed. Success or failure may be undecided, but the death of many Raggers is guaranteed. Havoc Squad is a fast-paced military sci-fi shooter filled with guns, tech and warfare.

    True or false? Lindgren's forger "simply creates freedom. Freedom from certainties and markets and the authorities. What are called forgeries," he says, "are the only true expression of our age." Marklund the picture-framer sinks all his savings into a Madonna by Dardel, the Swedish artist's masterwork. Suddenly the picture makes a duplicate appearance, in the studio of the man with the goatee beard; and the tax authorities confiscate the original; and the sitter's son turns up asserting it is stolen property; and Marklund's ex-girlfriend claims a half-share. Marklund's childhood friend Ingela, meanwhile, has learnt to sing and is taken up by an impresario who launches her career as Paula, Sweden's biggest name in pop. But is she too a forgery - if not in the eyes of her plastic-surgeon lover, then in those of the press who "created" her? Recounting this burlesque adventure of the two young innocents at odds with contemporary values, Torgny Lindgren has once again achieved a perfect tale for our times, ironic, profound, many-layered and utterly enjoyable.

    

    

    The quantum world doesn't play by those rules. Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry.But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater. If you liked the authenticity of The Martian, the page-turning pace of Da Vinci Code, and the inspirational world views of Arthur C. Clarke and Carl Sagan, you'll love The Quantum Series.
