The second volume of Don Quixote is much darker than the first,
picking up the story where Volume I left off and taking us to Don
Quixote's death. Don Quixote battles cats, puppets and the famous
Knight of the Mirrors. He plunges head first into the legendary
Cave of Montesinos and seeks to disenchant his imaginary truelove
Dulcinea del Toboso, who is imprisoned there. Meanwhile Sancho
Panza is finally given an island to rule over by the Duke and
Duchess who, like many characters Quixote and Sancho meet in Vol
II, have read Vol I. The Duke and Duchess play endless cruel tricks
on our heroes and slowly our heroes’ madness and foolishness
becomes painfully apparent. On his deathbed Quixote becomes Alonso
once more, he finally denies the existence of Giants, Knights,
Damsels and to Sancho’s horror he denies there ever was a Don
Quixote de la Mancha. Sancho begs that they should ride out one
more time, but it is too late Alonso Quixana is dead.

A striking expose of the insidious business practices that have
generated enormous profits for the companies operating within the
UK's gambling industry. 'A methodical, sensitive and occasionally
harrowing polemic about the gambling industry . . . The book has
echoes of Patrick Radden Keefe's award-winning Empire of Pain.'
SUNDAY TIMES 'A serious attempt to grapple with the extent of
Britain's problem.' THE SPECTATOR 'Persuasive.' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Fascinating.' IRISH TIMES 'Eye-opening.' TELEGRAPH *** 716: the
number of gambling logos displayed in a single Premier League
football match GBP421 MILLION: the salary of Bet365's CEO in 2020.
GBP14 BILLION: the annual losses incurred by British gamblers. Over
half of the population gambles in the UK every year. How did we get
here? What keeps us hooked when the odds are so heavily stacked
against us? And who are the real winners and losers? Jackpot dives
deep into gambling's seedy underbelly to answer these questions,
and many more. From the first National Lottery draw in 1569 to the
Wild West of today's online casinos, Guardian reporter Rob Davies
follows the money to show who profits - and at what cost.
The Motherless Oven and The Can Opener’s Daughter may have raised
more questions than they answered. But The Book of Forks explains
everything. Castro Smith finds himself imprisoned within the
mysterious Power Station, writing his Book of Forks while
navigating baffling daily meetings with Poly, a troubled young
woman who may be his teacher, his doctor, his prison guard… or
something else entirely. Meanwhile, back home, Vera and Scarper’s
search for their missing friend takes them through the chaotic
warzone of the Bear Park and into new and terrifying worlds. With
The Book of Forks, Rob Davis completes his abstract adventure
trilogy by stepping inside Castro’s disintegrating mind, to
reveal the truth about the history of the world, the meaning of
existence and the purpose of kitchen scales.

In the British Comic Award-winning The Motherless Oven, Scarper Lee
asked: "Who the hell is Vera Pike?" In the second part of Rob
Davis' trilogy, we get a chance to find out. This is Vera's story.
Grave Acre is a cruel world of opportunity and control. Vera's
mother is the Weather Clock, the omnipotent and megalomaniacal
Prime Minister of Chance. Her father is a can opener. Charting
Vera's unsettling childhood, the book takes us from her home in
Parliament to suicide school, and from the Bear Park to the black
woods that lie beyond. In the present day, Vera and Castro Smith
are determined to see their friend Scarper again - but is he still
alive? And if so, can they save him? Can anyone outlive their
deathday? Both a sequel and a darkly inventive standalone graphic
novel, The Can Opener's Daughter answers many of the questions
posed in The Motherless Oven, while asking plenty more of its own.
