But even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that Chorley, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long term plan. A plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague, Lesley May, who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch. Future classics.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some very slight edge wear to top of spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 564pp. A major literary novel set against the end of the First World War, the inter war years, and the start of the Second World War. The narrative is the life of Yves Beauchamp, told as he lies dying in a Vancouver hospice. From his education at a brutal British public school, the story moves to his battle experiences in France as a junior officer in 1917, to his involvement in the post war resurgence of Germany, and his debauched tour through the ruins of Europe in 1946. Yves' auditor is a troubled architect, a volunteer at the hospice, preoccupied by marital turmoil, but increasingly overwhelmed by the old man's narrative. Yves' story centers on his relationship with a German officer, Werner Schacht, whom he meets during the last days of the war in 1918, then again in Paris during the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Their difficult friendship, and Yves' romance with a German speaking French nurse from Alsace, bring out the lethal flaw at the heart of the Treaty. As the peace unravels, Werner and Yves make an attempt to stay the tyranny of events, ending in disaster for them both. The story includes descriptions of the Battle of Cambrai of 1917, the politics of the Treaty, the failed coup against National Socialism in 1938, and the almost successful plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. The hideous fate of Werner Schacht as one of the plotters captured after the failed attempt is the climax of the book, based on a reel of film made to satisfy Hitler's revenge, but later lost in the chaos as the War ended. A description of the shocking celluloid images has never before been attempted, here recreated by Grieve from German archives and witness statements. The author's acclaimed debut novel.

Now comes the book every fantasy reader has been waiting for. It's ten years later, and Linden Avery thought she would never see the Land, or Covenant, her beloved, again.

The Land is in turmoil, and Lord Foul has plans for them all.

Property developers are planning to destroy the borough's beloved football ground and build executive homes on the site. Shock! Outrage! Horror! Something must be done to halt this iconoclasm. The lads of The Flying Swan, Brentford''s most celebrated drinking house, take up the challenge. Norman the corner shopkeeper has some ideas. He's recently discovered a Victorian computer which holds the plans to the secret super technology of a bygone age. And Archroy, Brentford's lone yachtsman and explorer, has just returned from his seventh voyage, bringing with him the fabled Golden Fleece. There's Jim Pooley and John Omally, unemployed bachelors of this parish. And that Victorian time traveller who's crash-landed on the allotments. Surely with all these stalwarts working for the cause, Brentford's football ground can be saved? Would it were so, but this is Brentford and ancient forces of evil are forever stirring in the boroug,: Old Testament terrors, Lovecraftian loathsomes and beasties from the bottomless pit. And if the team make it through to the final, it's going to be a match that no one will forget. What with the fate of mankind hanging upon the result. And everything. A modern classic.

Hal Hennessey and his partner Barney Kruger are doing fairly well out of the misfortune of others, retired from the NYPD they run a missing persons agency tracking down the debris from families that have broken apart under the pressures of a society that is disintegrating. When they are approached by one of the leading figures in the new radical lesbian chic underground, desperate to find her missing girlfriend Hal is forced to confront his own past and the whereabouts of a sister he hasn't seen in more than fifteen years. And behind it all, the big software companies are rushing to perfect a new generation of virtual reality (VIRTUA) environments to give people the heavens they have lost. Anyone asking awkward questions around them better have good life insurance. Especially when the VIREX underground campaign against VR is hotting up.

The reticulated python is thought to be the longest snake in the world. After the capture of a 28-foot member of the species in the swamps of South East Asia in 1912, President Roosevelt established a $1000 reward for the capture of a 30-foot python. Eighty-seven years later the award remains unclaimed (having risen in increments to $50,000) and Robert Twigger, after being apprenticed to a bunch of former headhunters turned expert snake catchers, heads into the remote jungles of Indonesia armed with only a tin of High Toast Snuff (deadly if sniffed by a snake) in search of his prey. Along the way, he investigates the legendary beautiful women of Sulawesi, treads in Nabakov's footsteps through the remote area of Bone, looks for giant snakes beneath the sewers of Kuala Lumpur, and spends time with a variety of snake catchers and cults. After being caught up in anti-Chinese riots, surviving on greasy civet cat in the jungle, Twigger finally comes face to face with the big one. But the final capture is not what he quite had in mind.

Her father, the Warrior King Xyron, is dead and her incompetent half-brother Xymund is on the throne; she has chosen to serve her people as a healer, until she is needed to make a marriage of alliance. But the once-great kingdom of Xy is threatened by the Warlord and his barbarian Firelanders, and her brother Xymund is forced to surrender. The terms are fair: the kingdom will remain under Xymund's control, and the taxes and tithes are reasonable. All prisoners and wounded are to be exchanged unharmed. There is just one thing more: to ensure a true peace - no pillaging, no looting, no rapine - the Warlord has claimed tribute. He claims Xylara, Daughter of Xy, to be his Warprize . . .

When Lara disobeys, she pays the price, for both she and Keir are struck down by the fatal disease - and so is their entire encampment. In the midst of the dying, a rival warrior gathers his followers and challenges Keir for the right to rule their tribe. If Keir, weakened by sickness, loses - he dies. And so does Lara . . .

Not humanity, obviously, we're appalling, but until we manage to kill every other living thing on the planet there are some truly wonderful places on Rrth and some wonderful creatures living in them. Best take a look while they're still there. But on one trip to Rrth our alien biologist causes a horrendous accident. The occupants of a car travelling down a lonely road spot his ship (the sort of massive lemon coloured, lemon shaped starship that really shouldn't be hanging in the sky over a road).

From the car. From Rrth. From her humanity. And now eleven years later a girl called Terra is about to go to school for the first time. It's a very alien experience. The author's debut novel.

But Geoffrey's family, the vast Akinya business empire, has other plans. After the death of Eunice, Geoffrey's grandmother, erstwhile space explorer and entrepreneur, something awkward has come to light on the Moon, and Geoffrey is tasked - well, blackmailed, really - to go up there and make sure the family's name stays suitably unblemished. But little does Geoffrey realise - or anyone else in the family, for that matter - what he's about to unravel. Eunice's ashes have already have been scattered in sight of Kilimanjaro. But the secrets she died with are about to come back out into the open, and they could change everything. Or shatter this near-utopia into shards . . .

Don't know the answers? Then read THE END OF HARRY POTTER?.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Jacket by Edward Bettison (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, very slight lean, not price clipped (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg++ copy. 309pp. In the contested and unexplored territories at the edge of the Empire, a boat is making its labourious way up stream. Riding along the banks are the mercenaries hired to protect it, from raiders, bandits and most of all, the stretchers, elf like natives who kill any intruders into their territory. The mercenaries know this is dangerous, deadly work. But it is what they do. In the boat the drunk governor of the territories and his sons and daughters make merry. They believe that their status makes them untouchable. They are wrong. And with them is a mysterious, beautiful young woman, who is the key to peace between warring nations and survival for the Empire. When a callow mercenary saves the life of the Governor on an ill fated hunting party, the two groups are thrown together. For Fisk and Shoe, two tough, honourable mercenaries surrounded by corruption, who know they can always and only rely on each other, their young companion appears to be playing with fire. The nobles have the power and crossing them is always risky. And although love is a wonderful thing, sometimes the best decision is to walk away. Because no matter how untouchable or deadly you may be, the stretchers have other plans. Quite scarce in this first impression.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Jacket by Sidonie Beresford-Browne (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£18.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, looks almost unread. 369pp. The Adamantine Palace lies at the centre of an empire that grew out of ashes. Once dragons ruled the world and man was little more than prey. Then a way of subduing the dragons alchemy was discovered and now the dragons are bred to be little more than mounts for knights and highly valued tokens in the diplomatic power-players that underpin the rule of the competing aristocratic houses. The Empire has grown fat. And now one man wants it for himself. A man prepared to poison the king just as he has poisoned his own father. A man prepared to murder his lover and bed her daughter. A man fit to be king? But unknown to him there are flames on the way. A single dragon has gone missing. And even one dragon on the loose, unsubdued, returned to its full intelligence, its full fury, could spell disaster for the Empire. But because of the actions of one unscrupulous mercenary the rivals for the throne could soon be facing hundreds of dragons . . . Stephen Deas has written a fast moving and action fuelled fantasy laced with irony, a razor sharp way with characters, dialogue to die for and dragons to die by. The author's debut novel.
