JUST BEFORE THE DAWN is a ‘snap-shot’ of four former African colonies as they approached independence at the end of the 1950s. It is also a travel book based on the author’s experience and adventures whilst living and working at that time in Tanganyika, Zanzibar, Ruanda-Urundi (as they were then called) and Kenya. The book touches on those countries’ differing histories, both ancient and recent. It also offers the reminiscences of an elderly man pondering his first experiences of the worlds of work, and of love. The book’s leitmotif is dawn, along with its challenges: the coming dawn of change in those four countries, and in the author’s personal life. Additionally, he describes the magnificent dawn he experienced while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, as seen on this cover. Some of the comments on the author’s book on Russia: ‘A calm and objective witness for the truth’ – John Le Carré ‘It affords twin pleasures of content and style’ – a reader in France ‘An excellent book’ – Lord Wright of Richmond, former Head of the Diplomatic Service ‘A fascinating account of conflicts and tensions’ – The Church Times ‘Extraordinarily observant’ – Andrei Voznesensky, poet

Kole Omotoso, one of Nigeria's major writers, is always provocative. His writing is informed by a passionate concern for society and politics in Nigeria. This major work is a blend of fact and fiction dramatizing the first one hundred years of Nigeria. Most of the characters and incidents inthe book are real; the narrative is conceived and written as a novel. The story covers riots, uprisings, private hopes and griefsand coup d'etats -a history marred by violence, with an outcome satisfactory to none. The book was received as a major contribution to African writing, in its innovative style, and was awarded Special Commendation in the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa in 1989 , which described it as providing a more profound understanding than is available in conventional history books and novels.

“Meaty, well-written.” —Kirkus Reviews “Timely and informative.” —The New York Times Book Review “By far the best book I have ever read on humanity’s deep history.” —E. O. Wilson, biologist and author of The Ants and On Human Nature Nicholas Wade’s articles are a major reason why the science section has become the most popular, nationwide, in the New York Times. In his groundbreaking Before the Dawn, Wade reveals humanity’s origins as never before—a journey made possible only recently by genetic science, whose incredible findings have answered such questions as: What was the first human language like? How large were the first societies, and how warlike were they? When did our ancestors first leave Africa, and by what route did they leave? By eloquently solving these and numerous other mysteries, Wade offers nothing less than a uniquely complete retelling of a story that began 500 centuries ago.

An FBI agent’s hunt for a killer resurrects ghosts from his past in a romantic thriller that “expertly twines terror and true love” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Ex-Navy SEAL Tucker Frost has seen evil up close. His own brother Jason was a sadistic serial killer. A killer Tucker himself put down in order to save Jason’s final victim—Dawn Alexander, the only girl who got away from the infamous “Iceman.” It’s Tucker’s personal experience with evil that makes him perfect for Samantha Dark’s experimental profiling division in the FBI. And when women start turning up murdered with the same MO used by the Iceman, Tucker is sent back to Louisiana to investigate. Seven years have passed since Tucker faced down his brother . . . and since he last saw Dawn, his former lover. But as Tucker and Dawn grapple with a desire that never died, they must also face the terrifying thought that Jason Frost has somehow come back from the dead to hunt again . . .
