Ultimatum raises the stakes as a renegade cell within Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps pushes for nuclear dominance in the Middle East; when a secret rendezvous goes catastrophically wrong, Carlton is thrust into a dangerous geopolitical gambit. Outbreak opens deep within the Arctic Circle, where researchers discover a scene of biological contamination, forcing Carlton to race against a deadly, spreading pathogen with echoes of real-world bio-security nightmares. Across all three novels, Gardner draws on decades of frontline reporting and insider access to intelligence and security services, lending every page a rare sense of authenticity. Reviewers have praised the trilogy for combining cinematic action with plausible, well-researched detail. Each book is a bestseller in its own right, with Crisis a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller and both Ultimatum and Outbreak following it into the top ten — together forming a satisfying arc of contemporary spy fiction, ideal for extended reading or as a gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete run of three bestselling Luke Carlton thrillers in matching brand new paperback editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Frank Gardner, BBC Security Correspondent, drawing on real intelligence and security expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, globe-spanning plots spanning South America, the Middle East and the Arctic Circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fans of Lee Child, Gerald Seymour and other authentic, insider-informed thriller writers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to collect an entire series in one go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays or any spy thriller enthusiast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Gardner has been the BBC's Security Correspondent since 2002 and holds a degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies.

Sacked from her research post, Elizabeth reluctantly becomes the reluctant star of a cookery show, using it to quietly champion science, equality and independent thinking. Sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving, this modern classic has become a global phenomenon, adapted into a hit Apple TV+ series, and is a must-have for fans of witty, character-driven historical fiction with real emotional heft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSet in the early 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry introduces Elizabeth Zott, an exceptionally gifted chemist whose career at the Hastings Research Institute is derailed at every turn by the casual sexism of her era. Pushed out of the lab, Elizabeth unexpectedly finds herself hosting Supper at Six, a television cooking programme that she transforms into something far more radical: a platform for teaching women chemistry, confidence and the courage to question the world around them. Told with dry wit and genuine warmth, Bonnie Garmus weaves together romance, grief, motherhood and scientific curiosity into a story that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Elizabeth's singular voice, her devoted dog Six-Thirty, and a supporting cast of vividly drawn characters bring real texture to a narrative that never shies away from injustice, yet still finds room for humour and hope. The novel's exploration of gender inequality in mid-century America feels strikingly relevant today, and readers consistently praise its balance of laugh-out-loud moments and quietly devastating ones. It has become one of the defining word-of-mouth bestsellers of recent years, translated into dozens of languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-million-copy international bestseller praised for its wit, warmth and originality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA unique heroine in Elizabeth Zott, whose story champions science, resilience and equality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow adapted into a critically acclaimed Apple TV+ television series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for book clubs, gifting, and fans of thoughtful historical and women's fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends genuine emotional depth with sharp, laugh-out-loud humour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBonnie Garmus is an American author and former copywriter and creative director who has worked across technology, medicine and education, and has lived in the US, Switzerland and the UK, where she now resides.
