Description

Daniel Juma was a church boy in his Sunday best. One shortcut across Nairobi’s railway line changed everything.
Ambushed by a knife-wielding thug called Moto, Daniel is dragged into the “twigs and shadows” of Southern Bypass gang. Under a khat-chewing Boss and the cold gaze of Amani, “Peace” who offers none, he’s stripped of his clothes, his name, and his prayers. The process is called “naturalization.”
To survive the blade and the pistol, the boy who prayed must learn to snarl. But when his own sister spots him mid-robbery, Daniel must choose: disown her, or die. Abandoned during a bypass heist, he lands in a courtroom dock, a stranger to everyone, including himself.
Home at last. But at what cost?

THE UNFORGIVING STREETS: From Sunday Service to Sunday Streets by Edie K’Roni

KShs500.00 KShs200.00
Dive into a sprawling insect-scale epic fantasy perfect for readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time and the dystopian intrigue of Animal Farm. This is a tale of rebellion, conspiracy, and one unlikely hero's fight for the truth. The setting is a fantasy world resonating with Rural Africa. The Story Ziggy is a worker in the massive Termite Mound, just a cog in a machine fueled by fear and rigid doctrine. For generations, the colony has survived by following one rule, stay in the dark and obey the Monarchy. But when the sky-monsters descend, shattering the fortress and leaving Ziggy’s home in ruins, he realizes a terrible truth. The leadership keeps its people obedient, but it is failing to protect them. And when Ziggy suggests a desperate alliance with the Ant Kingdom, his idea is rejected. Permission to visit is denied. He goes anyway, defying their orders, and his own people brand him a traitor. During his visit to the Ant Kingdom, he narrowly escapes a poisoned cup and a brutal execution. Now a fugitive with a limp and a target on his back, Ziggy is thrust into the World of the Small, a terrifying landscape where every shadow hides a predator, and old grudges run deeper than the tunnels. From the treacherous Ant Citadel to the bone-crushing hunting grounds of the Rooster, Ziggy must evolve from a peaceful worker into a master strategist. With the help of an unlikely ally, an ant from the rival kingdom named Henry, he uncovers a shocking secret. They discover a way to exploit the giants’ greatest weakness by attacking their feet, a weapon that could ground them forever. But the clock is ticking. To save a colony that has already condemned him, Ziggy must return to the heart of the corruption, expose a centuries-old conspiracy, and lead a revolution against a ruthless Monarchy. Ziggy once believed diplomacy could save the Mound. He was wrong. It wasn't peace, as he had dreamt, but survival, in a war. To save his world, he’ll have to be both clever and ready to fight their enemies.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

,
KShs1,790.00 KShs1,590.00
So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one... Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their heads touching, their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents, moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos, with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways in which we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.

There are many rumors about the bay off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Some say it was the site of the lost empire of the Solomon king and that great treasure lies beneath the waters. Others say terrible things happened here, atrocities and disappearances at the hands of cannibal giants, and those who venture there do not return. It is cursed. Which is exactly what attracts the attention of husband-and-wife treasure-hunting team Sam and Remi Fargo. How could they resist? Clues and whispers lead them on a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, and what they find at the end of the trail is both wonderful and monstrous—and like nothing they have ever seen before.

The Survivor

Top secret data has been stolen from the CIA, and the only man who knows its hiding place is dead. CIA operative Mitch Rapp must race to find the classified information in this blistering novel that picks up where The Last Man left off in Vince Flynn’s New York Times bestselling series. Joseph “Rick” Rickman, former boy wonder at the CIA, stole a massive amount of top secret and hugely compromising intel concerning classified operations all over the world, offering it (and himself) to the Pakistani secret forces. Only his plans went awry when CIA director Irene Kennedy sent Mitch Rapp to hunt him down. It turns out that killing Rickman didn’t solve anything—in fact, the nightmare is only intensifying. Rickman stored the potentially devastating data (CIA assets, operatives, agents) somewhere only he knew, and somehow, from beyond the grave, he still poses a mortal threat to America. Now it’s a deadly race as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search for Rickman’s accomplices and the information they are slowly leaking to the world. Will Rapp outrun and outthink his enemies, or will the Pakistanis find it first and hold America hostage to their dream of becoming the world’s new nuclear superpower?

The final novel in the Cousins’ War series, the basis for the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries, The White Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author and "the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory tells the fascinating story of Margaret Pole, cousin to the "White Princess,” Elizabeth of York, and lady-in-waiting to Katherine of Aragon. Regarded as yet another threat to the volatile King Henry VII’s claim to the throne, Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York (known as the White Princess) and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, is married off to a steady and kind Lancaster supporter—Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is entrusted with the governorship of Wales, but Margaret’s contented daily life is changed forever with the arrival of Arthur, the young Prince of Wales, and his beautiful bride, Katherine of Aragon. Margaret soon becomes a trusted advisor and friend to the honeymooning couple, hiding her own royal connections in service to the Tudors. After the sudden death of Prince Arthur, Katherine leaves for London a widow, and fulfills her deathbed promise to her husband by marrying his brother, Henry VIII. Margaret’s world is turned upside down by the surprising summons to court, where she becomes the chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine. But this charmed life of the wealthiest and "holiest” woman in England lasts only until the rise of Anne Boleyn, and the dramatic deterioration of the Tudor court. Margaret has to choose whether her allegiance is to the increasingly tyrannical king, or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or the theology which serves the new masters. Caught between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole has to find her own way as she carries the knowledge of an old curse on all the Tudors." " ISBN:2147483647 Author:Philippa Gregory

The Godfather of Kathmandu

,
KShs899.00 KShs855.00
Sonchai Jitpleecheep--John Burdett's inimitable Royal Thai Police detective with the hard-bitten demeanor and the Buddhist soul--is summoned to the most shocking and intriguing crime scene of his career. Solving the murder could mean a promotion, but Sonchai, reeling from a personal tragedy, is more interested in Tietsin, an exiled Tibetan lama based in Kathmandu who has become his guru. There are, however, obstacles in Sonchai's path to nirvana. Police Colonel Vikorn has just named Sonchai his consigliere (he's been studying "The Godfather" on DVD): to troubleshoot, babysit, defuse, procure, reconnoiter--do whatever needs to be done in Vikorn's ongoing battle with Army General Zinna for control of Bangkok's network of illegal enterprises. And though Tietsin is enlightened and (eerily) charismatic, he also has forty million dollars' worth of heroin for sale. If Sonchai truly wants to be an initiate into Tietsin's "apocalyptic Buddhism," he has to pull off a deal that will bring Vikorn and Zinna to the same side of the table. Further complicating the challenge is Tara: a Tantric practitioner who captivates Sonchai with her remarkable otherworldly techniques. Here is Sonchai put to the extreme test--as a cop, as a Buddhist, as an impossibly earthbound man--in John Burdett's most wildly inventive, darkly comic, and wickedly entertaining novel yet" ISBN:2147483647 Author:John Burdett

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic. Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior—to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature."
