    Amandla: Born of the First Congo War is one of those books that lingers in your mind long after you finish it. The storytelling is honest and vivid, allowing readers to feel the uncertainty, fear, and fragile hope that shapes everyday life during conflict. Highly recommend!

    The book is a true masterpiece! I loved the way the story was woven together. The writing is engaging, and the themes are thought-provoking. The author is an incredibly talented person, and I’m so proud of that, Can’t wait to see what he writes next.

  8. Nina Bola – 24th October 2025

    Rated 5 out of 5

    The author’s candidness and emotional depth elevate this beyond a war story. It becomes a mirror reflecting what it truly means to be human amid chaos. A chaos of the war in Congo and its impact. A deeply moving read I highly recommend.

  9. Adhiambo Juma – 12th July 2023

    Rated 5 out of 5

    War,like rain sends no sure signs. It just falls one day, first slowly – in bits- then angrily.
    The story of a child who woke up to war- Innocent, unaware.
    The story of robbed innocence and childhood,
    The story of resilience,
    The story of the rainbow after the rain,
    The story of hope.

  10. Sikula – 4th January 2023

    Rated 5 out of 5

    A very informative book, with lots of sad stories and events, but narrated in an interesting and captivating way

  11. Ygal – 11th October 2022

    Rated 4 out of 5

    Between the corollaries that follow the instability of the African Great lakes looms a dire lack of narrative from the victim’s perspective. Antonio’s Born of the First Congo War is a book that navigates the complexity of telling such a story by revealing a personal experience and putting into contexts the bigger its picture.

  12. Abi Matheka – 9th October 2022

    Rated 5 out of 5

Dirk Pitt returns, in the thrilling new novel from the grand master of adventure and #1 New York Times bestselling author. While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous—a post-Castro power struggle for control of Cuba. Meanwhile, Pitt’s children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast treasure.

The Solomon Curse

Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs855.00 KShs813.00
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?

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs1,590.00 KShs1,400.00
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs1,890.00 KShs1,690.00
The first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them." Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with "cynical adolescent." Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies (the two of course are not mutually exclusive) capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation."

The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho

Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs1,590.00
A profound meditation on personal power and innocent dreams that are manipulated or undone by success, The Winner Stands Alone is set in the exciting worlds of fashion and cinema. Taking place over the course of twenty-four hours during the Cannes Film Festival, it is the story of Igor, a successful, driven Russian entrepreneur who will go to the darkest lengths to reclaim a lost love—his ex-wife, Ewa. Believing that his life with Ewa was divinely ordained, Igor once told her that he would destroy whole worlds to get her back. The conflict between an individual evil force and society emerges, and as the novel unfolds, morality is derailed. Meet the players and poseurs behind the scenes at Cannes—the "Superclass" of producers, actors, designers, and supermodels, as well as the aspiring starlets, has-been stars, and jaded hangers-on. Adroitly interweaving the characters' stories, Paulo Coelho uses his twelfth novel to paint an engrossing picture of a world overrun by glamour and excess, and shows us the possibly dire consequences of our obsession with fame."

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs1,200.00 KShs990.00
Brief Summary The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters — the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery. This is the first critical edition to use the serial text of 1837-9, presenting Oliver Twist as it appeared to its earliest readers. It includes Dickens's 1841 introduction and 1850 preface, the original illustrations and a glossary of contemporary slang.
