We are thrilled to announce two new novels from the Master of Adventure, Wilbur Smith, coming in 2025.

We can now share that the next gripping thriller from the Master of Adventure, coming in May 2025, will be Crossfire.

A brand-new Saffron Courtney adventure.

It’s 1943. The tide of the Second World War is turning. The Russian victory at Stalingrad - the bloodiest battle in history - has opened the door for the Allies. Now, they must strike decisively at the heart of Hitler's Reich. But military success cannot be guaranteed without total secrecy.

Special Operations Executive, Saffron Courtney, is sailing from the west coast of Scotland to New York on the Queen Mary. Her mission - to identify the mole in the British Embassy in Washington, DC before Churchill and Roosevelt begin the talks that will determine British and American military strategy in the wake of the Russian victory.

Haunted by the ghosts of her previous mission in the Low Countries, and with dangerous agents on her tail, Saffron must find the spy who could derail the Allied advance. Time is running out. Will Saffron complete her mission? Or will she succumb to the shadows of her past?

Don’t miss the gripping WWII thriller, coming May 2025! 

And coming in August 2025, we're thrilled to share that Taita and Piay will be back in the 10th novel in Wilbur Smith's Ancient Egyptian series, House of Two Pharaohs. 

Since becoming Nomarc, Piay has thrown himself into pulling the city of Memphis back from the brink. The once starving inhabitants have been fed, a new school for Royal Princes and the sons of aristocrats has been established, and Piay has been recovering the many riches looted by the Hyksos. But when the heavily-guarded vault is found locked with the body of a murdered scribe inside - the mark of Anubis, god of death scrawled in his own blood - panic sweeps the city. Only the wisest man in all Egypt can solve this mystery: Piay's mentor, the great Mage Taita.

To Taita's reckoning the culprit can only be one person: a new enemy known to be the wisest and cleverest in the Lower Kingdom, obsessed with Egypt's history and grandeur. For many years, this person worked to undermine the Hyksos and since then their reputation as a criminal mastermind has spread across the Lower Kingdom in awed whispers.

As Taita works to track down the new and dangerous threat, his enemy has another plan: to draw Taita in and ultimately destroy him so they can become the true guide of Egypt's fortunes - the Dark Pharaoh.

We hope you are excited to hear of these new novels and look forward to getting your copies!
