‘An extended meditation on human frailty and the lack of spirituality in the Western world . . . Houellebecq displays compassion and empathy, and a belief in the redemptive power of love.’ – New Statesman
‘The most important novelist to have been publishing in all of Europe over the past three decades’ – The Sunday Times
It is 2027. France is in a state of economic decline and moral decay.
As the country plunges into a closely-fought presidential campaign, the French state falls victim to a series of mysterious and unsettling cyberattacks. The sophisticated nature of the attacks leaves the best computer scientists at the DGSI – the French counter-terrorism agency – scrambling for answers.
An advisor to the country’s Finance Minister, Paul Raison is close to the heart of government. His wife Prudence is a Treasury official, while his father Édouard, now retired, has spent his career working for the DGSI. When Édouard has a stroke, his children have an opportunity to repair their strained relationships, as they determine to free their father from the medical centre where he is wasting away.
Michel Houellebecq’s Annihilation reveals new sides to his writing, adding compassion and tenderness to the emotions of rage and irony that have powered both him and his earlier works to international fame.
‘We have no one to match Houellebecq.’ – The Daily Telegraph
Translated from the French by Shaun Whiteside

The intense action thriller from million copy bestseller Rob Sinclair, perfect for fans of Mark Dawson
This mission will test him to his limit…
When a simple surveillance mission goes awry and the key target is kidnapped in broad daylight in a busy London square, James Ryker, a veteran intelligence agent now working for the secretive Joint Intelligence agency, knows he has his work cut out.
Ryker is tasked with figuring out what went wrong. But when his good friend Sam Moreno disappears without a trace, the mission becomes more personal than he could have imagined.
Torn between toeing the government line, and finding the answers he needs, Ryker realises there’s only one way to find those responsible and to punish them… His way.
Readers can’t get enough of Rob Sinclair’s gripping thrillers:
‘A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can’t help but root for!’ – John Ryder
‘Wow, what a book, I loved it!! Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can’t recommend this book highly enough.‘ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series. After being gutted when the Enemy series ended. Just in case you didn’t know I am a massive fan… lol. But Rob Sinclair has pulled out all the punches with this latest story, it is without a doubt his best book yet….. I freaking loved it.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘I would think Rob Sinclair might rival some of the greats in his field. His writing is tight, current and gripping. He weaves easily between settings and great characters –there appear to be quite a few. And the pace is compelling. This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’. I loved it.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘The Red Cobra is one fast paced, action packed, thrill of a read. It is actually screaming out to be put on the big screen. Who needs Lara Croft when you have The Red Cobra? Without a doubt this is a fantastic start to a new series and I am literally counting the days down until the author quenches my thirst for more.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘This book is perfect for the fans of Robert Ludlum, Jim Grant and early James Patterson works.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘Brilliantly crafted high-octane thriller with echoes of Robert Ludlum’s infamous Bourne novels!’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘I can highly recommend this brilliant book by the master of action, Rob Sinclair.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
