Candy lives in Chickentown USA: the most boring place in the world, her heart bursting for some clue as to what her future may hold. She is soon to find out: swept out of our world by a giant wave, she finds herself in another place entirely. The Abarat: a vast archipelago where every island is a different hour of the day, from the sunlit wonders of Three in the Afternoon, where dragons roam, to the dark terrors of the island of Midnight, ruled by Christopher Carrion. Candy has a place in this extraordinary world: she has been brought here to help save the Abarat from the dark forces that are stirring at its heart. Forces older than Time itself, and more evil than anything Candy has ever encountered. She's a strange heroine, she knows. But this is a strange world:- (original cost £6.99).

Cover Art: Stephen Frink / Getty Images (illustrateur). 1st Edition. © 2003: 1st in the 'Dreamers' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing. Ex-library book with missing front endpaper & usual markings:- Synopsis: They are called the Dreamers. They look like sleeping children. They are, in fact, Gods. There are eight elder Gods, four awake, four asleep, by turns. When they sleep, they sleep for eons. The only time the Gods are vulnerable is when the sleepers awake. Knowing this, the Ruler of the Wasteland, ambitious to become a God by destroying Gods, watches and waits, marshalling troops for war. So it is that the coming of the Dreamers passes unnoticed in the Wasteland. But the world is soon out of kilter, it is being dreamed, and the awakening of Gods is no simple transition. The sleeping Gods are stirring. When they wake the battle will begin. There will be trickery and deception. Tribes of humans, creatures of the deep, the sea itself and the earth, the weather and the divinities, all will play their part in the epic struggle against the Ruler of the Wasteland. In their own exquisitely effortless style, David and Leigh Eddings weave a web around the reader of magic, mystery and humour. 'The Elder Gods' is a stand-alone novel of mythological proportions, and it is also the first in a new and eagerly anticipated series of four books by the bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings. It is a magical, action-packed, totally engaging and characterful novel on the grandest scale:- (original cost £17.99).

Paperback: 9¼" x 6". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Getty Images / EkhornForss (illustrateur). 2002 Edition. © 2002: A stand-alone novel by Stephen Baxter. 1st printing of 2002 edition:- Synopsis: Their story began when dinosaurs dominated the Earth. And, down through countless millennia of the day-to-day dramas of survival of the fittest, they have survived. The Primates. They dodged the thunderous feet and scything teeth of the dinosaurs. 65 million years ago they survived the apocalyptic asteroid strike and inherited an empty world. They have been carried by the infinitely slow, stately dance of the continents, lived through the swift advance and retreat of the great ice packs. They fumbled their way out of the forests, they became human, they covered the Earth, they fell but they have survived. And they have evolved. Adapted to life on a changing, dying world. This is their story. 'Evolution' follows the ebb and flow of one stream in the great river of DNA. It turns the story of Darwinian evolution into a constant drama, a daily life and death struggle, a heroic story of life's endurance. It is a story that transcends generations, species, mankind and, in the end, the Earth itself:- Review(s): "Speaking as an evolutionary biologist, Stephen Baxter has persuaded me that we really could have evolved as he describes in the stories he tells" - Jack Cohen DSc, PhD / "A stunning talent!" - Locus:- (original cost £12.99).

Unknown publication date. 6th printing of 2004 edition:- Synopsis: Things are going to be very different now. Sisters matter more than daughters. Ignorance is strength. Listen to your sisters. As the light of the Roman Empire gutters and fails one woman begins a remarkable quest to protect her family. It is a quest that will last 2000 years and threaten everything we know, In present day England, George Poole is looking for his long-lost sister. It is a search that will take him to Rome and into the heart of an ancient secret: a secret that holds a terrifying truth for all our futures. Whether telling the vivid story of a dying Empire, charting the compelling history of a city, or detailing chilling evolutionary possibilities for mankind, 'Coalescent' is never less than an enthralling piece of storytelling. Following his landmark work 'Evolution', 'Coalescent' is proof positive that Stephen Baxter is perhaps the most important SF writer of his generation:- Review(s): "Strong imagination and a capacity for awe abound in the work of Stephen Baxter. A truly Wellsian vision" - The Times Literary Supplement:- (original cost £7.99).

Cover Art: Sidonie Beresford-Brown / Getty Images (illustrateur). 2004 Edition. © 2002: A stand-alone novel by Christopher Priest. 1st printing of 2004 edition. Winner of the 2003 Arthur C Clarke Award & The British SF Award:- Synopsis: In 1936, twin brothers return to Britain from the Berlin Olympic Games with bronze medals and a young Jewish woman, a refugee from the Nazis, concealed inside their van. This act of compassion sets in train a sequence of events which has the potential to change the course of history. Soon the brothers' bond is broken apart for their rivalry for the girl, and the first of many separations takes place. World War II is looming, but the brothers take different paths: Jack becomes an RAF pilot; Joe, a conscientious objector, works for the Red Cross. Both are destined to become victims of the war, this pacifist and this warrior. Five years later, in Britain's hour of greatest danger, an opportunity for peace unexpectedly arises. A larger separation, a dividing of ways, becomes a real possibility. Which of the brothers is to stride briefly across the stage of history?:- Review(s): "A major work of alternate history, masterfully conceived and written, thoughtful, audacious, a stab to the heart of historical appearances. 'The Separation' is not just another respectable realist tome about World War II, but, rather, one of the finest SF novels of 2002" - Locus / "Priest builds an impressive set of imagined places and times. He knows the literature of the mass bombing raids and the debate as to their morality as well as he knows the blackout and the sceptical version of Churchill's role" - Independent:- (original cost £6.99).

They detected the flash of the first nuclear tests on Earth, even out in deep space. Now sinister intelligences far greater than our own - the Grand Galactics - have assembled a vast invasion force to fly to our planet and exterminate every living thing. Meanwhile, Ranjit Subramanian, a young Sri Lankan astronomy student has become obsessed with a three-hundred-year-old mathematics problem. Determined to solve it better and faster than anyone else, his rise to fame draws him into the clutches of a secret weapons project codenamed 'Silent Thunder'. On the eve of invasion, with China, America and Europe in a battle for supremacy, Ranjit's daughter is taken. Now he is all that stands between doom, not only for his own family, but the entire human race:- Review(s): "Like listening to two of science fiction's grand old men speaking" - SFX / "Clarke was a towering figure in science fiction" - Richard Morgan, author of 'Black Man' / "Pohl is the most consistently able writer science fiction has produced" - Kingsley Amis:- (original cost £7.99).

They first fought for life when dinosaurs dominated the Earth. And down through countless millennia, they have survived. The Primates. This is their story. They walked out of the forests, they became human, they covered the Earth, they fell. But they have survived and they have evolved.

Mankind has become a mighty star-spanning host, and is locked in a millennial war for the Galaxy itself. A war against the utterly unknowable Xeelee. We have survived the shock of alien occupation and, led by the 'Coalition', have fought for survival for twenty millennia. A vast selective breeding campaign allows only successful soldiers to pass on their genes for the creation of the ultimate human being: the child soldier. And the campaign - 'The Third Expansion' - has been successful. But humanity's advance has stalled at the heart of the Galaxy, at the Xeelee fortress. And after twenty millennia at war the Xeelee aren't about to go quietly:- Review(s): "Absurdly ambitious, technically brilliant and downright exciting" - SFX / "Warfare and human evolution as they have rarely been depicted.
