Octavia E. Butler's ground-breaking masterpiece, with an original foreword by Ayobami Adebayo. 'A marvel of imagination, empathy and detail' NEW YORK TIMES 'The marker you should judge all other time-travelling narratives by' GUARDIAN 'One of the most significant literary artists of the twentieth century. One cannot exaggerate the impact she has had' JUNOT DIAZ -- In 1976, Dana dreams of being a writer. In 1815, she is assumed a slave. When Dana first meets Rufus on a Maryland plantation, he's drowning. She saves his life - and it will happen again and again. Neither of them understands his power to summon her whenever his life is threatened, nor the significance of the ties that bind them. And each time Dana saves him, the more aware she is that her own life might be over before it's even begun. This is the extraordinary story of two people bound by blood, separated by so much more than time.

BUTLER, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'Unnervingly prescient and wise' YAA GYASI 'Butler's evocative, often troubling, novels explore far-reaching issues of race, sex, power and, ultimately, what it means to be human' NEW YORK TIMES 'Butler's prose, always pared back to the bone, delineates the painful paradoxes of metamorphosis with compelling precision' GUARDIAN 'Octavia Butler was a visionary' VIOLA DAVIS 'An icon of the Afrofuturism world, envisioning literary realms that placed black characters front and center' VANITY FAIR 'Butler writes with such a familiarity that the alien is welcome and intriguing. She really artfully exposes our human impulse to self-destruct' LUPITA NYONG'O

The second volume in the acclaimed Squire Quartet. Spanning fifty years and three continents - from pre-war Suffolk, to the Far East in the 1940s, to Oxford and America in the present day - Forgotten Life is a novel of immense scope, encompassing comedy and tragedy, joy and grief, as its three main characters try to work out the most difficult problem of all - the meaning of their own lives. Brian says: 'This novel, which in retrospect can be seen to have a similar ground plan to Non-Stop, written thirty years earlier, was more warmly received than any other Aldiss novel, not simply by its reviewers but by readers.' Features a new introduction by the author.

The third book in the Squire Quartet. Russian born Dominic is one of the success stories of the eighties, when yuppies made fortunes on the stock market . Ray Tebbutt is among the unlucky ones.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Epic in scope, its worldbuilding as intricate as filigree,THE FINAL STRIFE sings of rebellion, love, and the courage it takes to stand up to tyranny' Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE The Empire rules by blood Red is the blood of the elite, of magic, of control.

'FAHRENHEIT 451:' THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH BOOK PAPER CATCHES FIRE AND BURNS.

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.

'Fahrenheit 451' is the classic novel of a post-literature future. It stands alongside Orwell’s '1984' and Huxley’s 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilisation’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Ray Bradbury’s vision is astonishingly prophetic: wall-sized television screens showing interactive soap operas; billboards two hundred feet long, so that speeding drivers can make sense of them; a populace oblivious of everything but the constant music and news delivered by miniature speakers plugged into their ears.

Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with an uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, forty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

“His masterwork.”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH.

“'Fahrenheit 451' is the most skilfully drawn of all science fiction’s conformist hells.”
KINGSLEY AMIS

“Bradbury’s is a very great and unusual talent.”
CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD

“Ray Bradbury has a powerful and mysterious imagination which would undoubtedly earn the respect of Edgar Allan Poe.”
GUARDIAN
