Publisher's summary
Dit is die Eerste Wêreldoorlog. In ’n Britse militêre hospitaal staan Susan Nell voor die deur van een van die private sale. Op die deur is ’n enkele naam aangebring. Sy ken daardie naam. Sestien jaar tevore, in een van die Anglo-Boereoorlog se konsentrasiekampe, het daardie naam soos ’n liddietbom in haar lewe gebars. Sy lig haar hand om die deur oop te maak, maar dit bewe so dat sy die knop nie vasgevat kry nie. Sy moet dit doen. Sy is ’n psigiatriese verpleegster en dit is haar taak om getraumatiseerde soldate terug te bring na die lig. Maar as daardie soldaat die een is wat sestien jaar tevore met sy heupe alle lig uit jou gestamp het . . .? Susan Nell se hand word loodswaar. Iets soos ’n warrelwind ruk deur haar. Sy wankel op die drumpel tussen lewe en dood.
Kamphoer is die ware verhaal van ’n vrou wat gedurende die Anglo-Boereoorlog wreedaardig verkrag en vir die aasvoëls gegooi is. Met die hulp van ’n reeks weldoeners ontsnap sy aan die kloue van die dood en wy sy uiteindelik haar lewe aan die genesing van presies die soort trauma waaraan sy onderworpe was. En in die proses word sy teruggestamp in ’n bomkrater wat sy geglo het lank reeds toegegroei het en veilig bedek was.
In Kamphoer word die weerbarstigheid van die menslike gees opgeweeg teen die ewe blywende invloed van trauma. Dit is ’n sielkundige riller wat jou tot op die laaste bladsy in sy yskoue greep sal hou.
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

Story
’n Nuwe lewe wag op hom. In 1939 bars die oorlogbom in Europa. Drie miljoen kinders word uit London ontruim na veiliger gebiede. Een van hulle is die sesjarige Charles Smith, op pad na ’n onbekende tante van sy pa in ’n klein dorpie in Skotland. By aunty Grace wag ’n nuwe lewe op hom. Aan die anderkant van Europa ruk die Duitse Sesde Leër op teen Rusland. Tussen die manskappe is die vurige majoor Oswald von Stein, Hildegard se stiefseun. Voor hulle wag die Russiese winter, Stalingrad en die krygsgevangenekampe van Siberië. 90 000 word gevange geneem, net sesduisend oorleef.

Fees van die ongenooides is sekerlik die uitnemendste toonbeeld van P.G. du Plessis se vertelkuns. Sy roman is weliswaar een van die heel grootste werke oor die Boereoorlog, maar dit is ook ‘n werk wat in ‘n hedendaagse idioom vrae vra oor hoe ons onthou, wat ons onthou en wat die implikasies is van vergeet.

Hulle is almal in die land. Die Italianers met hulle Mafia-verbintenisse, die Chinese triades, die Nigeriërs, die Russe, Koreane, Indiërs, die hele lot, en dan natuurlik nog die plaaslike ouens ook. Niemand is hier vir die land en die Kaap se natuurskoon nie. Hulle het nie sentiment oor ’n politieke bestel of ’n reënboognasie nie. Geld is die enigste god wat aanbid word. Toe Ellie McKenna instem om hierdie wêreld te infiltreer, het sy gedink sy weet waarvoor sy haar inlaat. Maar soos haar pa altyd gesê het, die duiwel deel nie visitekaartjies uit nie.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Great read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The gaps in Susan's story are well placed leaving enough to the imagination to make it really interesting.
