The world is on the brink of apocalypse. Zero Day has come. The only thing more terrifying than millions of spiders is the realisation that those spiders work as one. But among the government, there is dissent: do we try to kill all of the spiders, or do we gamble on Professor Guyer's theory that we need to kill only the queens?

This isn’t a story about the future. It’s a story about now. About a world where everyone knows disaster is coming—yet no one speaks. Where generals run “just in case” scenarios, knowing that the case is already on its way. Where nuclear war is no longer taboo. It’s a plan. Nuclear War is a global political thriller that begins with one strike—and ends the way the world might.

An SAS unit codenamed Zero 22, operating covertly in the war-torn badlands of Northern Syria, is ambushed and massacred by a small army of mercenaries dressed like Hell's Angels. Danny Black survives the massacre and back in London learns that his unit was betrayed by a mole feeding high-level military intelligence to the Russians. Like any SAS man worthy of the name, his first thought is to avenge the men who lost their lives on the Zero 22 op.

The blasts stopped. The dying didn't. Months after the strikes, the real disaster is simple: there are no medicines. A small cut turns septic. Appendicitis becomes a death sentence. Childbirth is dangerous again. Diabetes without insulin, asthma without inhalers, infections without antibiotics—people die quietly in apartments, shelters, and hospital hallways. Hospitals are still standing, but many operating rooms are useless: no anesthesia, no sterile supplies, no antibiotics. Doctors must choose who gets the last dose and who is sent back to wait.

NUCLEAR WAR: HISTORY REPEATS (DAY ZERO • BOOK 10)An assassination attempt on the Monarch and the murder of the Prime Minister of Great Britain trigger events that cannot be stopped. What was meant to be a demonstration of strength turns into a public humiliation of the state. Belfast erupts. London loses its center of control. The royal family evacuates. Within hours, a local crisis becomes a struggle for power over the entire British state. Britain has survived nuclear strikes, hunger, epidemics, and years of brutal endurance. It held together where other states would have collapsed.

A nuclear device detonates high above the North Atlantic. No crater. No invasion. No declared target. No instant casualties. And New York still goes dark. Satellites drop off the map. Comms snap. Power grids die. Markets freeze; radars see only shadows.

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware proves that she is the “new Agatha Christie” (Air Mail) with this adrenaline-fueled thriller about a woman in a race to clear her name and find her husband’s murderer. Hired by companies to break into buildings and hack security systems, Jack and...

After the war, the world learned a terrible truth: children are no longer only victims. They are labor. They are leverage. They are the future. Tens of millions have been left without parents, homes, papers, or any country able to say who they are. Some were torn away during evacuations. Others disappeared into camps, transit zones, and temporary centers where names can be changed, identities reassigned, and lives erased.

Washington is gone. One strike erased the political center of the world. After that, everything began to fall apart. Communications failed. Satellites went silent. Fuel, medicine, and supply chains stopped moving. Electricity survives only in scattered places where small grids and generators still work. Cities struggle to function. Hospitals run out of supplies. Millions begin moving, searching for water, medicine, and safety. But the explosions were only the beginning. Disease spreads in crowded shelters. People with injuries receive no treatment.

The world survived nuclear strikes, hunger, and epidemics. But peace never came. Now the struggle is about who will control what remains. The Recovery and Security Pact has become a new global center of power, uniting the United States, the United Kingdom, key European allies, Canada, Australia, Japan, and China. Its mission is to protect the remaining corridors, secure resources, restore order, and keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of blackmailers and shadow networks.

An airliner's controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine...

The Pacific is becoming the place where the world could burn again. An American convoy enters the waters near Luzon in the northern Philippines. First, its communications are cut. Then comes a calculated show of force. Only after that does the sea erupt in fire. Ships burn. People die. And the entire region understands that a new struggle for the Pacific has already begun.

Zero Day is the explosive first instalment in David Baldacci's thrilling John Puller series. Distinguished as a top investigator in the US government, John Puller is called in to conduct an enquiry into the brutal murders of a family in a remote area of West Virginia. It soon becomes clear that...

London is gone. After a massive blackout over the North Atlantic damages satellites and communication networks, the world enters a dangerous new phase. Governments are no longer talking about escalation — they are managing it.

Six months after the nuclear strikes, the world faces a new crisis. Not war. Hunger. Governments struggle to rebuild order as supply chains collapse and food becomes the most valuable resource on Earth. Borders fade and maps no longer matter. What matters now are corridors — roads, ports, and warehouses that must be protected if millions are to survive. Convoys carrying grain, fuel, and medicine move under armed escort. One broken route can push entire regions into chaos.

When a teenager is shot dead after chasing a criminal in the street, investigating journalist Cynthia Bonsant is led to the popular social media platform Freemee, a competitor to Facebook whose lifestyle app claims to give you everything you need to succeed in life. But there is someone who warns against its evils: Zero, the world’s most-wanted activist, known for exposing the toxic truths behind social media giants and their pursuit of total control.
