Abel &amp; Cole’s story starts in 1988 with Keith Abel flogging potatoes door-to-door. ‘Of course potatoes are organic,’ he thought, ‘they’re vegetables’. However, he quickly discovered how unnecessarily complicated our food system had become and, consequently, realised the huge benefits of going organic and never looked back. In fact, Abel &amp; Cole still get veg from the farm where Keith's first organic spuds came from. 
To this day, their priorities remain the same. Now, selling 100% organic produce, Abel &amp; Cole believe that organic farming (a holistic system that encourages biodiversity) is the very best way to go. It protects our countryside and the critters that inhabit it, insists on the very best animal welfare, supports your local community and, frankly, tastes heaps better. Abel &amp; Cole think so anyway.

A Perfect Beast – After Earth

Forrest Brazeal

Silicon Valley just invented time travel. The consequences are rewriting history. 
 
Meet the Bleb 1, the world’s first consumer time-travel device. It has the potential to change the world for the better—but for now, people are using it to steal limited-edition Doritos from the 1990s, or kill their past selves for TikTok clout. 
 
Behind the device is Paradox Inc., a start-up prepared to do anything to stay ahead, even as the time-travel bubble threatens to destroy reality itself. 
 
As the industry spirals, three people find themselves at the centre of the chaos: an engineer who knows too much, a rival executive trying to impose order, and a journalist uncovering a conspiracy too vast for any tech giant to hide. Together, they confront the truth: the future may still be unwritten, but the past is no longer safe. 
 
After all, those who do not understand history are doomed to screw it up.

Paradox Inc.

Danielle L. Jensen

From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom comes the first book of a gritty post-apocalyptic fantasy duology.

Defy the Dusk

A.T. Emerald

The first book in a new dark, seductive and all-consuming fantasy series, in which a human commander and the masked enemy interrogator sent to break her are drawn into a slow-burn, dangerous bond - one that could end a fifteen-year war or ignite something far deadlier. Perfect for fans of Alchemised and Samantha Shannon. 
 
Vordell was beautiful once. Its people lived in harmony, and their civilization flourished as they learned to harness and control the power of Light. 
 
Then the darkness came. 
 
The Iron Sky unfolded dark clouds across the land, thick enough to choke out the light of the suns. The ground cracked, releasing vicious creatures that looked like humanity’s oldest fears. The Dar’rak - an enemy long believed to be buried and forgotten - returned to claim the world above. 
 
Soraya Tollmere has spent most of her life on the front lines of the brutal war that followed. Now a high-ranking commander, she knows loss better than anyone. 
 
By day, she leads troops across ruined landscapes and guides covert teams through enemy territory. By night, she meets with a Dar’rak defector who has kept humanity alive with his steady stream of secrets. 
 
On a mission to investigate his latest lead - one that could turn the tide of the war - Soraya is captured by The Demon, the Dar’rak’s most feared soldier. 
 
His orders are simple: break the human commander, uncover where the humans are keeping a weapon that could win them the war, and bring it to the Dar’rak. But as he gets to know the fierce warrior, the lines between interrogator and enemy, prisoner and ally, begin to blur. 
 
As devastating truths surface and loyalties shatter, Soraya must decide who to trust in a world where light is dying - and where her greatest enemy may be her only salvation.

Under the Iron Sky

Rebecca Roanhorse

Over a decade into the Empire's reign, life under imperial rule has become routine. The days of the Republic have long passed into memory - if they are remembered at all. 
 
Within the Senate, Mon Mothma and Bail Organa face dwindling influence, for there is no difference between the will of the Emperor and the direction of his Empire. Bail increasingly shifts his focus to support clandestine resistance efforts, knowing a successful fight against the Empire will come from beyond the halls of power. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma sees once chance to take a stand when she makes a horrifying discover about the lengths the regime will go to weaponize truth and loyalty. The Empire's newest target: the next generation raised under the Emperor's deepening shadow, including Mon and Bail's daughters. 
 
Across the galaxy, disparate rebel factions are rendered outcasts, branded criminals, and pitted against each other. On Ghorman, an idealistic student group seeks to make meaningful change, unaware of the ISB agent who seeks to sabotage them from the inside. Leaders like Saw Gerrera and Anto Kreegyr squabble and bargain to survive one more day against the crush of Imperial might. Trust is rare and betrayal quick. A distracted, disorganised resistance is one that is easy to snuff out. 
 
There are few heroes...and no alliances. 
 
When one of Gerrera's partisans is captured by the Empire, time is running out for senators, outcastes, spies, and all those that desire a better tomorrow. What the prisoner knows could held the Empire eradicate any whisper of resistance, end any rebellion before it can truly begin - and ensure that the Empire's truth is all the galaxy will ever know.

With Doctor Doom only a heartbeat away from gaining unlimited control over all reality in every universe, America Chavez must gather a team of nexus beings from across the Multiverse to make one last stand.

Marvel: What If...The Multiverse Was Doomed?

Madeleine Roux

After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey’s teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia’s knowledge is limited, Rey’s lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way? 
 
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey’s saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there—and to her surprise, so does Leia. 
 
Rey and Leia’s nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple’s mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.
