THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The complete history of the world,
from the beginning of time to the present day, based on the beliefs
and writings of the secret societies. Jonathan Black examines the
end of the world and the coming of the Antichrist - or is he
already here? How will he make himself known and what will become
of the world when he does? - and the end of Time. Having studied
theology and learnt from initiates of all the great secret
societies of the world, Jonathan Black has learned that it is
possible to reach an altered state of consciousness in which we can
see things about the way the world works that hidden from our
everyday commonsensical consciousness. This history shows that by
using secret techniques, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac
Newton and George Washington have worked themselves into this
altered state - and been able to access supernatural levels of
intelligence. This book will leave you questioning every aspect of
your life and spotting hidden messages in the very fabric of
society and life itself. It will open your mind to a new way of
living and leave you questioning everything you have been taught -
and everything you've taught your children.
A moving novel of love and war by the author of The Beekeeper of
Aleppo and Songbirds. It is July 1974 and on a bright, sunny
morning, the Turkish army has invaded the town of Kyrenia in
Cyprus. For many people, this means an end to life as they know it.
But for some, it is a chance to begin living again. Everyone has
always talked about Koki. They never believed she was her father's
daughter and her mother died too soon to quiet their wagging
tongues. And when she became pregnant and there was no sign of a
husband, her fate was sealed. So she lives outside the town and
hides from her neighbours' eyes. But, held captive with the very
women who have made her life so lonely, Koki is finally able to
tell them the truth. To talk of the Turkish shoe-maker who came to
the town and took her heart away with him when he left. And how she
has longed for him all these years. Meanwhile, Adem Berker finds
himself back in Kyrenia, his former home, now as a member of the
invading force. Here he left everything he ever wanted and, by
cover of darkness, risking his life, he is searching every house,
every cafe, every old pathway, for just a glimpse of the only woman
he has ever loved. For readers of The Island, The Book Thief and
The Kite Runner.

Slowly she opened her eyes and he rewarded her with one of his
softest smiles, brushing her wet, sticky hair off her face, using
the edge of her coat sleeve to wipe away the slime around her nose
and lips. 'I don't want to,' she whispered, trembling as she gazed
at him. 'I don't want to...' She couldn't finish the sentence. Die.
Die with me. Be with me forever. That's what he said. You could
find your new best friend on the net...or discover your worst
nightmare. For fifteen-year-old Gemma, it's already too late. Her
body was found in the nave of the parish church in Ealing. For D.I.
Mark Tartaglia and the murder squad at Barnes, it's just a matter
of time before the tragedy repeats itself. For Elena Forbes, it's a
cracking start to her new career as a crime writer.

'I am in awe of Dan Simmons' Stephen King This story shall be about
my friend (as at least about the man who was once my friend)
Charles Dickens and about the accident that took away his peace of
mind, his health, and, some might whisper, his sanity... In 1865
Charles Dickens, the world's most famous writer, narrowly escapes
death in the Staplehurst Rail Disaster. He will never be the same
again. A public hero for rescuing survivors, he slowly descends
into madness as he hunts the individual he believes to be
responsible for the carnage: a spectral figure known only as Drood.
His best friend, Wilkie Collins, is enlisted for the pursuit.
Together they venture into Undertown, the shadowy, lawless web of
crypts and catacombs beneath London. Here Drood is rumoured to hold
sway over a legion of brainwashed followers. But as Wilkie spirals
ever further into opium addiction and jealousy of the more
successful novelist, he must face a terrifying possibility: is
Charles Dickens really capable of murder? Readers are loving Drood

Laos, 1976. The monarchy has been deposed, the Communist Pathet Lao
have taken over. Most of the educated class has fled, but Dr Siri
Paiboun, a Paris-trained doctor remains. And so this 72-year-old
physician is appointed state coroner, despite having no training,
equipment, experience or even inclination for the job. But the
job's not that bad and Siri quickly settles into a routine of
studying outdated medical texts, scrounging scarce supplies, and
circumnavigating bureaucratic red tape to arrive at justice. The
fact that the recently departed are prone to pay Siri the odd,
unwanted nocturnal visit turns out to be an added bonus in his new
line of work. But when the wife of a party leader turns up dead and
the bodies of tortured Vietnamese soldiers start bobbing to the
surface of a Laotian lake, all eyes turn to Siri. Faced with
official cover-ups and an emerging international crisis, the doctor
enlists old friends, village shamans, forest spirits, dream visits
from the dead - and even the occasional bit of medical deduction -
to solve the crimes.

Matthew Sobol is dead, but his final creation survives. It begins
with a bizarre murder, where the only possible perpetrator happens
to be dead. As more killings follow, the police are completely out
of their depth. It falls to the unlikely partnership of Sebeck, a
computer-illiterate cop, and Ross, an enigmatic hacker, to realise
the scale of the imminent danger. The Daemon is seemingly
unstoppable, and murder is the least of its capabilities. As it
leaves a trail of death and destruction in its wake, Sebeck and
Ross must face up to a terrifying possibility. Can they convince a
disbelieving world to take drastic action, and shut down the Daemon
before it is too late? Explosive, action-packed, terrifyingly
relevant, Daemon redefines the high-concept thriller for the
information age.
