In THE FIGHT FOR ORDER, richly adorned with piercing honesty, Justin Bedan Muturi uses his searing gift of storytelling to deliver an unflinching exposé about Kenya’s kleptocratic circus, the petty political theatre and the plundering ineptitude in government that keeps holding the country back.
With over four decades in public service, as the only Kenyan to serve in the Judiciary, in opposition politics, and as the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Attorney General of Kenya, and Cabinet Secretary, Muturi gives a raw blistering insider portrait exposing the inner workings of a state captured by obsessive grasping greed, driven by visionless small-minded hustle, and crippled by crude, contemptuous impunity.
He was part of the system until it chewed him up, spat him out, and left him with nothing but the piercing wisdom of a truthful pen.
Now he rips back the curtain with a sharp-edged confession, a reckoning with power and a masterclass in why values,
institutions, and the rule of law still matter in a country where
politics kills them first.
“.Personal, raw, and exhilarating book dripping with convivial banter and bis trademark honesty.

My Brief History by Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of bestsellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution. My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity.
Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology.
Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time—one of the iconic books of the twentieth century. Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking’s personal cosmos.

What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20
Brief Summary
Major life transitions such as leaving the protected environment of school or starting a new career can be daunting. It is scary to face a wall of choices, knowing that no one is going to tell us whether or not we are making the right decision. There is no clearly delineated path or recipe for success. Even figuring out how and where to start can be a challenge. That is, until now.
As executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Tina Seelig guides her students as they make the difficult transition from the academic environment to the professional world, providing tangible skills and insights that will last a lifetime. Seelig is an entrepreneur, neuroscientist, and popular teacher, and in What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 she shares with us what she offers her students—provocative stories, inspiring advice, and a big dose of humility and humor.
These pages are filled with fascinating examples, from the classroom to the boardroom, of individuals defying expectations, challenging assumptions, and achieving amazing success. Seelig throws out the old rules and provides a new model for reaching our highest potential. We discover how to have a healthy disregard for the impossible, how to recover from failure, and how most problems are remarkable opportunities in disguise.
What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20 is a much-needed book for everyone looking to make their mark on the world

Divergent by Roth Veronica
Paperback features over fifty pages of bonus materials, including a sneak peek of Insurgent, an author Q&A, a discussion guide, a Divergent playlist, faction manifestos, and more! In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives.
For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made.
Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen.
But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her. Veronica Roth is the New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, the first in a trilogy of dystopian thrillers filled with electrifying decisions, heartbreaking betrayals, stunning consequences, and unexpected romance."

Hot Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman
Brief Summary
Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America
In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America.
Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession.
The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

Reckless
Once upon a time, Tracy Whitney was one of the best thieves in the business. Then she settled down and had a child—a beautiful, bright, mischievous boy who was the center of her life. Tracy planned to spend the rest of her days quietly, living anonymously deep in the stunning Colorado mountains, devoted to raising her son. But tragedy forces her to face her greatest nightmare. Now, with nothing left to protect, this superb con artist, jewel thief, computer wizard, and cat burglar returns to the hunt, more dangerous, ruthless, and reckless than ever. The world faces a new terror threat from Group 99, a diverse collection of global hackers intent on the collapse of capitalism and private wealth and the creation of a new world order. When the group turns to violence—kidnapping an American investigative journalist, shooting a British military hostage, and blowing up an international industrialist—the mysterious woman pulling their strings, a wily and wealthy American known only as Althea, becomes the CIA’s most sought criminal. But their only hope of finding her is a woman with a dark and dangerous past of her own. A woman who has also successfully evaded detection by the authorities around the world: Tracy. Convinced that Althea is behind the deadly act that shattered her life, Tracy sets out on a global hunt to flush out her prey. But as she soon discovers, the truth is as elusive as her target. Hampered by corruption, lies, and enemies masked as allies, Tracy will be pushed to the brink, where she must face her darkest demons. All of her experience tells Tracy that the answers are right in front of her—if only she can look at the clues in the right way. Propelled by an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and with the fate of so many resting in her hands, just how reckless will Tracy become when she has nothing left to lose? An addictive tale of espionage, mystery, passion, greed, betrayal, and vengeance that takes you from the beautiful Rocky Mountains to Europe’s oldest and grandest cities, filled with a cast of intriguing characters both new and familiar, Sidney Sheldon’s Reckless is a glamorous thrill ride that will leave you breathless until its shocking end."

Beatrice Kitimo –
One line after another, this book quietly dismantles the myths we tell ourselves about clean politics and neutral institutions. It doesn’t ask you to be cynical, just honest.
Dr Ochieng –
A necessary, unsettling, and oddly hopeful book. Hopeful because once you see the machinery laid bare, you realise change is about choices.
Ogot Maranda –
I wish I had read this before my internship in a government office. So many small details in the book echo things I saw but didn’t fully understand at the time. I now refer to particular chapters when talking about ‘how things are done’ versus how they should be.
Malachi Nanok –
This is the political education the average citizen never gets. Awesome storytelling.
Darius –
Excellent job! Superbly written, excellent editing, great book design.
This man has set standards for biography writing in Kenya.
Easily my 2025 political book of the year!
Ojwang’ Ndege Esq. –
This book gave me the political education that school never did. It shows how a signature here, a meeting there, and a ‘small’ compromise can alter the lives of millions. The storytelling is unhurried but precise, and the impact sneaks up on you. You watch as institutions bend, laws are treated like suggestions, and public good is quietly traded away. When I was done, the only thing that felt right was to put it on Easy Coach and send it to my father in the village. I see them quote it in our village WhatsApp group every time Riggy G speaks about some scandal. Muturi did the country a favour. And yet, some idiots still shout TUTAM! They should get a copy before opening their mouths.
Mueni Wanza –
This book will make you rethink every press conference you’ve ever watched. Behind each polished statement, you start to imagine the off-record conversations Muturi describes so clearly, the bargaining, the threats, the casual way billions are discussed like loose change. Excellent book.
Prof Smith –
I’ve studied Kenyan governance for years, but this book still managed to shock me, because the stories are so specific, so plausible, so recognisable.
Rahma Farah –
I read a chapter in a matatu and had to stop, stare out of the window, and breathe. The calm way Muturi describes reckless decisions is more disturbing.
SIKO SAWA.
You can’t be the same after reading it.
Waceke Mwihaki –
As a political science student, I wish this had been on our reading list. It brings to life the theories we discuss in class: elite capture, state weakness, informal networks. Kudos to the former Speaker and AG and Minister. Only him could write such a tome.
Marcus Likalama –
Some books make noise; this one makes sense. JB patiently connects high-level intrigue to the frustrations we live with every day, from stalled projects to vanishing funds. Halfway through, I caught myself wishing a bold billionaire would buy a copy for every Kenyan ndio kila mtu aone vile tunachezwa na system ya ufala.
Lemaiyan –
If donors and governance NGOs are serious about accountability, this is the one book they should quietly buy for every elected leader in Kenya. And even voters. It should be required reading!
Levi Kyalo –
This is the kind of book you finish and immediately think, ‘People need to read this.’ It explains in detail how a handful of people can tilt an entire country’s destiny. I sent my copy to my brother with a note: ‘Now you’ll understand why fuel, food, and school fees feel like they’re fighting us.’ He read it in two days and just replied, ‘So this is how they’ve been playing us all along.” WANTAM is real!
Makau S S –
Forget the polite handshake politics we see on TV; this book takes you to the backrooms where the real games were played. JB paints a picture of the KANU era that is frantic and unpolished. Wild, wild, wild, wild things. Hats off to him for telling the story. As a Gen Z, I didn’t know things were this bad in KANU days. Still reading, and completely in love with the writing!
Mike Kipkorir –
As a governance researcher, I can confidently say that this is one of those quiet books that refuses to let you go. It burns with truth. Imagine the president, his deputy, and key ministers, sitting by a fire at night talking loosely about billions to buy PRIVATE land, and on the side, billionaires calling the Attorney General to approve the transaction. Yet, the money for the land is not even in the budget, the land had not been valued and yet there was a figure (!!) and somehow, the transaction went through!
Reading this, you begin to see why life feels so heavy for ordinary Kenyans. Muturi doesn’t rant. He doesn’t point fingers. He simply shows you how things really work, and once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.
Alfarouk Maalim –
Absolutely gripping! I was so moved by its depth and truth that I bought a copy for every one of my classmates in our political science course. Page after page, it lays bare the inner workings of Kenya’s legislative politics, the power struggles, the lingering grip of neocolonial influence, and the relentless manoeuvring of foreign interests desperate to control our political destiny.
What struck me most is how boldly it exposes the realpolitik behind elections: the secret deals, the money trails, and the corruption that decides candidates long before the public ever votes. It’s raw, fearless, and deeply relevant. It will change how you see power, politics, and the forces shaping our democracy.
