Silencing Anna by Wanjiru Waithaka
Silencing Anna tells the story of a young female journalist, blacklisted from all the media houses in the country, after exposing a prominent tycoon’s clandestine activities.

When a whistle blower gives her the chance to bring Ndegwa down, Anna takes him on again despite her fear. The resulting drama moves quickly through the streets of Nairobi, the port of Mombasa, the Indian Ocean and ultimately into the wilderness of Tsavo East National Park where Anna faces her greatest test.
An elephant rescued from the wild after poachers killed its mother holds the key to Anna’s survival. Can she be saved before it’s too late? A final heart-breaking twist ends this fast-paced thriller that you won’t want to put down for even one minute.

The Siege Of The Shwedagon by Michael...
Ruddin is a self-styled revolutionary with a heart for vengeance. His ethnic minority people have been displaced from the place they have called home for generations-Myanmar. Armed with nothing more than a tattered map and revolutionary ideas, he embarks on the most treacherous journey of his life.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is a significant symbol in his onslaught against the junta regime he is hell-bent to depose. It was a childhood fantasy ‘must-visit’ imposing stupa. But now, the almost impossible to penetrate fortress is his perfect hideout to nab his nemesis-the young leader of Myanmar and commander of Tatmadaw.
The young leader is his presumptive father-in-law but the young U Thwe despises the Rohingya, the ethnic minority in which Ruddin belongs. Repatriating the millions of the displaced people from Bangladesh, back to Myanmar, would be a tall order. Where do you even start? How do you even gain entrance to the gilded stupa and execute your mission with military precision? What would be the coincidence that the young leader would be on a spiritual pilgrimage to the pagoda and by happenchance ,you are poised to nab him?
This make-believe fictional account strains the bounds of credulity, invariably offering a glimpse of hope to the millions of displaced Rohingya people. The story is unreal. The people are real. The scenarios are real. The places are real. Reality is twisted. Imagination is real……and impossible is nothing!

A Wakini Kuria Prize & African Writers Awards shortlisted author
Murdering Romance is a story about Mukami who simply wanted to experience an actual authentic moment of genuine love and call it her own. But let the title not lull you into thinking that the book is solely about romance. It is much more. The author first portrays Mukami as this lady who seems to be on a revenge mission disguised as a pursuit of love but as the plot thickens, the storyline evolves into other deeper issues. The book delves deep into several themes including domestic violence, toxic masculinity, femininity, absentee parents and abuse, among others.
Often there is a gulf of difference between fiction and non-fiction but in Murdering Romance, the dissimilarity between the two is too blurred to discern.
Pruned to Bloom by Linus W. Mbuu
This is a Christian thriller fiction book.
In a world where we have sovereign power (free will) to choose whatever we wish to do, in our fallen nature we have the tendency to choose darkness over light. What we have no control over are the consequences attaching to our respective choices. Some of our choices prune us to bloom, while some lead to eternal destruction.
The unbridled in the spirit continuously add to the bank of their wickedness, unknowingly fattening themselves for the day of their slaughter. The day of reckoning for Rasta, Terminator and Stout dawned with their eyes set expectantly on an attractively glittering mirage.
However, before the dusk could usher in the darkness that often covered the nudity of their evil hearts, they were sizzling literally in a lake of fire as their lives ebbed away in dishonor. However, one smoldering remnant was rescued from the flames, mercifully redeemed to bloom again in dignity.
Hercules on the other hand hang on a different cross but was lucky to have been let go half-naked wading through stinging nettles that set him off in sores to walk barefoot in a territory where the scepter of the wicked reigned every night.
He was pruned off his lust, pride and immorality escaping with his life by the skin of his teeth, reformed to transform the souls and lives of others.

The Chronicles of a Village Surgeon is a masterfully written book, easy to read and spiced with humour. The book captures accounts of the clinical experiences of a dedicated surgeon working in the remote towns of Kenya.
Pulsating with passion and hear moving stories of patients experience to health challenges and health systems attempt to help, the book paints a picture of how things work and sometimes fail to work at the time patients are on the nick of need.
Literally, through the pages, the author shows us how the society looks through the lenses of a surgeon; from domestic and gender based violence to belief in curses and alternative medicine; from doing everything to save a patient's life to respecting a patient's autonomy even when it puts their life in danger. Besides, we get to see what it takes to become a surgeon and how it feels to offer medical care in resource-restrained settings of Kenya.
Strange as some of the stories shared here may sound, none of them is. The society we live in and serve is full of people whose experiences and perspectives may sound far-fetched but they are all here with us.
The book is a compilation of stories that cover Twenty Eight critical themes, useful for both common reader as well clinical practitioners seeking to learn and appreciate the dynamics of health care.
