Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Some patterns should never be left unfinished. Claire Hedley came to Nether Combe to rebuild a life the violin had ended for her. In the bell tower of St. Osyth's she found what she was looking for: a discipline exact enough to quiet grief, seven other people who needed her to be on time, and a village that had kept one rule for two hundred years and would not explain it. Then she found Fenwick's Silence. It is a change-ringing composition, abandoned in 1826, four rows from its end, on the morning its author climbed the tower to test one row he had written down that he was not ready to finish. He died beneath his own bells. The village has rung around the row ever since. Claire rings it by accident, on an ordinary Tuesday in November. The dead start coming back to Nether Combe in the order the mathematics forgot to call them-oldest first, 1826 first-confused, cold, and looking for houses that were pulled down a century ago. They are not angry. That is the worst of it. They are lost, and they are getting closer to the present with every week, and the churchwarden's arithmetic says six weeks before the queue reaches graves that still get flowers. To send them home, Claire has to persuade a fractured band of ringers to finish a peal no living person has heard to its end-five thousand and forty changes, one morning, no stopping once it begins. The arithmetic tells them how long it will take. It does not tell them what finishing will cost. CHANGE RINGING is a standalone folk horror novella built on the real mathematics of English church bells: no curse, no demon, no haunted object. Only an unfinished sentence, and the two hundred years a village spent being frightened of the wrong half of it.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Three thousand meters down, something is killing this station one system at a time. Nadia Voss is the only one awake when the numbers stop adding up: a scrubber failing too fast, a hull seam stressed on purpose, a colleague dead in a flooded corridor with a full tank of air. Someone built these failures to look like age, deniable, gradual, the kind no inquiry would ever trace back to a decision. She has six hours of breathable air to prove they didn't. The person who did this might be one of the three people she just woke up to help her survive it. What she finds isn't an accident. It's a decision, made forty-one floors above an ocean none of its architects will ever have to survive, and the only way to stop it from happening again is to make sure the whole world hears exactly what she heard. Some things don't fail on their own.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eighty guests. Forty metres down. No way up. Opening night at the Halcyon Deep, the world's first luxury underwater resort. A string quartet. A manta ray gliding over the glass dome. Eighty of the wealthiest people in Asia raising champagne beneath the Andaman Sea. And beneath the wine cellar, a foundation built on a lie. Engineer Maya Rao warned them. Her report described the seabed beneath pile three as structurally equivalent to wet cake. The company buried the evidence, ignored the risk, and put her signature on the safety certificate. At 9:47 p.m., the ground answers. The habitat begins sliding toward a shelf break deep enough to swallow every secret its owners tried to hide. No rescue for hours. A storm on the surface. Two escape pods for ninety-one people. Every passing minute pushes the structure closer to total collapse. Maya and dive supervisor Elias Varga must keep terrified guests alive long enough to do the boring thing that saves everyone, because the fast thing only saves whoever is fastest. When the sea finally claims the wreck, the real disaster begins, one engineered in boardrooms by people who never get wet. Book One of the Halcyon Deep Trilogy. Perfect for readers who love deep-sea survival, engineering disasters, corporate conspiracies, and relentless, high-stakes suspense. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The mountain agreed with her. Nobody else did. Avalanche forecaster Sutton Reyes digs one more snow pit before sunrise and finds exactly what she was afraid of: a slope loaded wrong, a weak layer ready to go, and a hundred and forty investors about to be guided across it for a single perfect photograph. She calls it considerable. She recommends the bowl stays closed. Nineteen minutes later, someone with more authority and less patience changes the public-facing danger rating from considerable to moderate. Minutes after that, five people are buried under it-including a fifteen-year-old boy who was never supposed to be more than a photo op, and a resort executive four thousand feet below who has just decided that a livestream matters more than a search-and-rescue callout. Sutton has to keep them alive through a second night, a second slide, and a storm that's rewriting the mountain in real time-while the evidence of what really happened that morning survives on a device no one else knows still exists. Some slopes don't forgive a mistake. This one is about to find out whether it forgives a cover-up. A tight, unputdownable survival thriller for readers of Zero Fathoms and Ballast-read it in one sitting.…
