'Utterly addictive' Victoria Selman 'Funny, engrossing, and
brilliantly written' Claire McGowan 'One of the best books we've
read in a long time' Bella Sometimes all it takes to bring a family
together is the possible end of the world Meet the Altman family.
Fifty-something Dan is struggling to cope with a mid-life career
change. MBA-educated wife and mother Jen has dealt with life's
disappointments by becoming a closet alcoholic. Seventeen-year-old
Chloe is obsessing about getting into the right university and her
state tennis semifinals. Fourteen-year-old Max is trying to figure
out when he can next sneak a puff on his beloved vape and plotting
revenge on the school bully. They're a normal family with normal
problems. Until, one day, the lights go out. Mobile phones don't
work. Lights, laptops, cars, trains - anything that uses
electricity - just stops. And what happens next will change
everything... Funny and heart-warming, Lights Out in Lincolnwood is
the story of one ordinary family and their unexpected adventure of
a lifetime 'Thrilling, heartfelt, humorous and wonderfully
original. Lights Out in Lincolnwood takes a darkly wry look at just
what happens when ordinary meets extraordinary. I loved it' Chris
Whitaker 'This is a heartwarming read that we couldn't put down'
Closer 'A darkly comic and refreshingly unique story' Lisa Hall
Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a
masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak,
dystopian future.
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and
literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires
rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of
commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they
are hidden.
Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions
produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred,
who spends all day with her television "family." But then he meets
an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past
where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees
the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless
chatter of television.
When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears,
Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts
hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the
fireman has to run for his life.
The fifth book in the exciting AMP series The Grid has come to rest
in a new sector. New hostiles emerge, once again setting the Human
existence in jeopardy. A peek is given of the origin of the Human
race. Follow along with the action as the follies of Don Grange and
his Gray Ghoul fighters continues

Audrey Niffenegger. Thora and Santi have met before... Under the
clocktower in central Cologne, with nothing but the stars above and

yet, but they'll meet again: in numerous lives they will become
friends, colleagues, lovers, enemies - meeting over and over for
the first time, every time; each coming to know every version of
the other. Only they can make sure it's not for the last time. But
as they're endlessly drawn together and the lines between their
different lives begin to blur, they are faced with one question:
why? They must discover the truth of their strange attachment
before this, and all their lives, are lost forever.

In a disintegrating and increasingly lawless land, a young man is
travelling north. Ben is a young painter from the crowded,
turbulent city. For six months his fiancee Cara has been living on
the remote island of Sanctuary Rock, the property of millionaire
philanthropist Sir John Pemberley. Now she has decided to break off
their engagement and stay there for good. Ben resolves to travel to
the island to win Cara back. But the journey there is a harsh and
challenging one, and when he does arrive, a terrible shock awaits
him. As Ben begins to find his way around Pemberley's perfect
island, he knows he must also discover - what has made Cara so
determined to throw her old life away? And is Sanctuary Rock truly
a second Eden, as the mysterious Sir John claims - or a prospect of
hell? ___________________ Readers can't get enough of The Sanctuary

disaster.
Jack Vance is one of the most remarkable talents to ever grace the world of science fiction. His unique, stylish voice has been beloved by generations of readers. One of his enduring classics is his 1964 novel, The Dying Earth, and its sequels--a fascinating, baroque tale set on a far-future Earth, under a giant red sun that is soon to go out forever.
This omnibus volume comprised all four books in the series, The Dying Earth, The Eyes of the Overworld, Cugel's Saga and Rialto the Magnificent. It is a must-read for every sf fan.
