FROM THE AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST and #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF COLLUSION A gripping investigative account of how Russia's spies helped elect Donald Trump, backed Brexit, murdered enemies and threatened the very basis of western democracy. NEW AND UPDATED EDITION 'Luke Harding is one of the best reporters in the world . . . [they are] an oustanding writer, stuck in the beating heart of political and criminal power, sinking their teeth in and never letting go.' ROBERT SAVIANO 'Shadow State raises fresh questions about the way the UK government has handled claims of Kremlin interference in Britain's democratic processes.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'If you doubt that hostile foreign powers were happy to assist Britain into decline, I recommend Shadow State . . . dazzling and meticulous.' OBSERVER 'Excellent.' THE SCOTSMAN 'Reads like a thriller.' IRISH TIMES 'Detailed and compelling.' GUARDIAN *** No terrorist group has deployed a nerve agent in a civilian area or used a radioactive mini-bomb in London. The Kremlin has done both. Shadow State is a riveting and alarming investigation into the methods Russia has used to wage an increasingly bold war in the UK and beyond. In this updated edition, featuring a new afterword, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Luke Harding uncovers fake news, cyber intrusions, dirty money and ruthless spies in disguise, showing how Vladimir Putin helped elect Donald Trump, backed Brexit, and now threatens the very basis of Western democracy itself. 'A superb piece of work . . . essential reading for anyone who cares for his country.' JOHN LE CARRÉ, on Collusion

Every year the British government spends £80 billion outsourcing public services. Today, private companies are responsible for fulfilling some of the most sensitive and important roles of the state – running prisons and providing healthcare, transport, legal aid, even child protection. These organizations have been handed enormous amounts of power and yet for the most part they operate with no transparency or accountability. From deportations to NHS cutbacks, Alan White exposes what goes wrong when the invisible hand of the market is introduced into public services. Informed by exclusive interviews with senior managers, campaigners and whistle-blowers, Shadow State is the first book to examine the controversial phenomenon of government outsourcing. Not only does White provide the full story behind scandals involving G4S, Serco and ATOS, but he also reveals previously unknown cases of system failure in areas such as social care, welfare and justice. The picture that develops is deeply troubling.

What Brynn Caldwell can’t remember might get her killed. Brynn is a promising science student recovering from a major setback: Last year, a bad relationship sent her spiraling into depression. But as she puts the pieces of her life back together, a few don’t fit. Soon Brynn starts having flashbacks—hazy memories of being abducted and possibly brainwashed. It’s all connected to a wonder drug to treat PTSD that might actually be the ultimate weapon: a tool to control people’s memories. And Brynn can’t trust the people who know the truth—her best friend turned enemy, her genius scientist mother with a secret, and Brynn herself, whose memories might all be lies. Now, to stop a possible terrorist attack, Brynn has to uncover what she’s been forced to forget—and learn what side she’s really on. Elyse Brayden’s Shadow State is a pulse-pounding thriller that tackles homeland security, government conspiracy, and obsessive love, with a final-page plot twist you’ll never forget. An Imprint Book "Suspenseful, with a relatable but unreliable narrator and a gripping premise." —Booklist

A powerful analysis of events that helped galvanise resistance across civil society. The 2017 publication of Betrayal of the Promise, the report that detailed the systematic nature of state capture, marked a key moment in South Africa’s most recent struggle for democracy. In the face of growing evidence of corruption and of the weakening of state and democratic institutions, it provided, for the first time, a powerful analysis of events that helped galvanise resistance within the Tripartite Alliance and across civil society.Working often secretly, the authors consolidated, for the first time, large amounts of evidence from a variety of sources. They showed that the Jacob Zuma administration was not simply a criminal network but part of an audacious political project to break the hold of whites and white business on the economy and to create a new class of black industrialists. State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) such as Eskom and Transnet were central to these plans. The report introduced a whole new language to discuss state capture, showing how SOEs were ‘repurposed’, how political power was shifting away from constitutional bodies to ‘kitchen cabinets’, and how a ‘shadow state’ at odds with the country’s constitutional framework was being built. Shadow State is an updated version of the original, explosive report that changed South Africa’s recent history.

In 2024, fourteen months following the apocalyptic events of Episode One, a new global threat begins to rear its ugly head. While encased inside a dragon-shaped amulet necklace once belonging to the late Ravan, Vritra's remains have changed hands in a newfound alliance between two Cold War-era foe nations. A former biotech engineer for the fallen Final Wave terrorist organization Anastasia Zima establishes a foreign asset to her handler, POTUS Kenneth Hill, in their partnership with an elusive, seditious cabal named The Shadow State. Their objective is to form a new world order with Vritra's remains coupled with geoengineering experiments at the hands of a technological, evil mastermind, Jagmohan Gyan, based in New York City plot to topple the free world ahead of the imminent 2024 Presidential Election imperiling the nation and the entire planet. Abhu (a.k.a. Caleb Porter) continues his career with a full year of experience under his belt at the Elite Justice Force Squad based in Atlanta, Georgia. Alongside his best friend and fellow stellar agent, Singh Puneet Sherpa, they both must work together with the entire EJFS to put a stop to the Shadow State before they attempt to accomplish their terrible goal. The race against time continues as the superagency encounters many dangers and obstacles in their quest to retain integrity, honesty, and justice in the political season while doing their best to protect humanity. Will the EJFS overcome all odds to bring down the Shadow State, or will the Shadow State overpower them and lead the rest of the world to their doom? ------ The Elite Justice Force Squad saga continues during the time of a looming election season. A seditious and secret cabal known as The Shadow State begins to rear its ugly head while casting a terrible omen over the world through weaponized espionage and weather warfare. The story begins in the late-night hours in New York City on one rainy November night. An artifact buyer named Judson Clayborn from Upper Manhattan seeks out vital information regarding the whereabouts of the ancient necklace containing Vritra's dormant energy after Vritra was defeated in the previous year by both EJFS Agents Abhu and Singh. He meets with a darkly-clad individual who has the information Clayborn is seeking. Soon enough, he falls into a trap set by The Shadow State to capture the expeditor to reprogram him into a Shadow State powerhouse operative to carry out a series of missions to accelerate the Shadow State's hostile takeover of the world, forming a New World Order. ------ EJFS Agents Abhu and Singh form romantic relationships with fellow agents Durga and Gangi, respectively. They enjoy a relaxing vacation at Singh's beachfront villa in Savannah, Georgia. Little did they know, both agents were bound to be called back into intense action in the field as they work together to prevent a global catastrophe from imperiling the world. ------ An intense lead-up to a contentious presidential election builds as an administration rife with corruption and questionable practices threatens the stability of the US amid the upcoming political season. ------ EJFS Chief Commander Khali leads the charge to bring down the Shadow State and all of those involved. His second-in-command, Raj, backs him up as they deploy teams to various locations in Europe to capture the Shadow State leader and secure the necklace of Vritra. The effort encounters difficulty as an evil tech giant, Jagmohan Gyan, geoengineers a monstrous hurricane to impact the nation before Election Day. Can Abhu, Singh, and the rest of the EJFS expose and prevent the Shadow State from toppling the free world? ------ The journey spans the globe in multiple locations, including Atlanta, Georgia; New York; Washington D.C.; Hungary; Switzerland; Poland, and Belgium.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Party Is Over delivers a no-holds-barred exposé of who really wields power in Washington Every Four years, tempers are tested and marriages fray as Americans head to the polls to cast their votes. But does anyone really care what we think? Has our vaunted political system become one big, expensive, painfully scriped reality TV show? In this cringe-inducing expose of the sins and excesses of Beltwayland, a longtime Republican party insider argues that we have become an oligarchy in form if not in name. Hooked on war, genuflecting to big donors, in thrall to discredited economic theories and utterly bereft of a moral compass, America’s governing classes are selling their souls to entrenched interest while our bridges collapse, wages, stagnate, and our water is increasingly undrinkable. Drawing on sinsights gleaned over three decades on Capitol Hill, much of it on the Budget Committee, Lofgren paints a gripping portrait of the dismal swamp on the Potomac and the revolution it will take to reclaim our government and set us back on course.
