by Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah's memoir chronicles his extraordinary coming-of-age in apartheid South Africa and the dawn of its freedom. His very birth was a crime, a mixed-race child born to a Swiss father and a Xhosa mother when such unions were illegal. Hidden away to protect him, Trevor's early years were shaped by his mother's courageous defiance. After apartheid's fall, they embarked on a journey of liberation, embracing the hard-won opportunities of a new South Africa. 'Born a Crime' is a poignant and often hilarious account of a young man's struggle for identity and his unbreakable bond with his fearless, religious mother, who fought tirelessly to shield him from poverty and violence.

by Sandy Mitchell
In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is celebrated as a legend of the Imperium—a shining beacon of courage and inspiration to his troops. At least, that is what the official propaganda claims. In reality, Cain is a reluctant hero whose only true ambition is a quiet life far from the front lines. Yet, fate and a desperate instinct for self-preservation repeatedly thrust him into the galaxy’s most lethal war zones. Forced to bluff, scheme, and dodge his way through impossible odds, Cain constantly finds himself hailed as a hero despite his best efforts to stay alive. This action-packed omnibus collects the first three novels in the series—For the Emperor, Caves of Ice, and The Traitor’s Hand—along with three exclusive short stories, blending high-stakes military sci-fi with dark humor and gripping adventure.
