Science fiction meets science fact in this fully illustrated
hilarious book from one of the UK and Ireland's best-loved
comedians. Genuinely qualified space expert, Dara O Briain, is here
with all the answers to help you sort your science fiction from
your science fact. Includes: * how life begins in the first place *
how Earth was created * whether aliens might exist elsewhere in the
Solar System * the search for other planets like our own * how we
could possibly ever get there and . . . * would we really meet
aliens? Alongside this runs the hilarious, but not very true story
of Clara and her cat, Sputnik, who will join you on the journey of
the book to help take you from novice alien-hunter to bona-fide
space expert, with a brilliant final twist! So, is there anybody
out there? NO. (Well, maybe.) And do aliens really exist? Probably.
(Possibly.) As presenter of STARGAZING LIVE, MOCK THE WEEK and
ROBOT WARS, Dara O Briain is one of the UK and Ireland's best-loved
comedians and TV stars.
Tania is a princess of the Faerie court. But the court now lies
in ruins.
Back from the Mortal World of modern London, Tania returns to
Faerie with the long-lost Queen Titania. But when they cross
between the worlds, they find only devastation. The evil Sorcerer
King of Lyonesse is now free of his amber prison, and the Faerie
court is falling into decay as he grows in power.
Now it's up to Tania and her true love, Edric, to rescue King
Oberon, their only hope of defeating the evil Sorcerer King. And
Tania must prepare to fight a war she may not survive, one that
will determine whether she must return to the Mortal World--this
time for good.
In the quiet city of Fallbrook, Jared is having a rather ordinary,
boring day at school. But ordinary is about to become extraordinary
in the space of a few minutes . After Jared arrives home from
school, he's astonished to discover his cell phone morphing into a
strange object with three red buttons, an oval-shaped black screen,
and a short, red antenna. The object propels him to another
dimension where he watches a warrior battling a volcanic creature.
These strange happenings start to make sense when Fallbrook is
suddenly invaded by inter-dimensional beings. Jared and his five
friends are granted powers based on the elements of nature and
charged with the duty to protect the world from harm. When an
unsuspected twist leads them to another world, they will realize
the true terrors and dangers of evil and come face to face with the
ultimate tempter of living beings-Satan himself.

Brigg lives in a small, grey room in a large, grey city. When he
finds a book in the library labelled 'Do Not Read', he cannot
resist taking it home. In it, he comes upon pictures of bright,
vibrant objects called flowers. He cannot find flowers anywhere in
the city, but stumbles instead on a packet of seeds. This sets off
a chain of events which bring about unexpected results, continuing
to grow and bloom even after we have turned the last page. John
Light's enigmatic story is told with utter simplicity, but
resonates long after we finish reading this book. His increasingly
optimistic vision is hauntingly captured by Lisa Evans's beautiful
and whimsical illustrations.

virtual-reality space adventure Inside the space station, Star Park
had created a gigantic version of their new computer. This gigantic
computer could create a world-size virtual-reality adventure. Scott
had jumped at the chance to win such a prize. The only way to enter
the contest was to buy a Star Park computer. Then with the

make up an adventure and submit it to Star Park. The winning

whole idea irresistible. He had never wanted anything more than to
win this contest."
