After a tragic car accident, talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions.
Based in New York City's Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel Cinematic Universe from corrupted sorcerer Kaecilius.
A wonderful modern tale of magic and mystery, an amazing
storytelling debut
There is another world beyond our own . . .
nce bold explorers and youthful denizens of this magical realm,
now Ewan's an Austin musician who just met his dream girl, while
Colby cannot escape an innocent wish. But while they left the
Limestone Kingdom as children, it has never forgotten them. And in
a world where angels relax on rooftops, whiskey-swilling genies and
foul-mouthed wizards argue metaphysics, and monsters in the shadows
feed on fear, you can never outrun your fate.

Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2018 One of Financial
Times' Best Books of 2017 'SEA OF RUST is a 40-megaton cruise
missile of a novel - it'll blow you away and lay waste to your
heart . . . visceral, relentless, breathtaking' Joe Hill, Sunday
Times bestselling author ************ An action-packed
post-apocalyptic thriller from the screenwriter of Marvel's DOCTOR
STRANGE HUMANKIND IS EXTINCT. Wiped out in a global uprising by the
very machines made to serve them. Now the world is controlled by
OWIs - vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions
of robots. But not all robots are willing to cede their
individuality, and Brittle is one of the holdouts. After a
near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek
sanctuary in a city under siege by an OWI. Critically damaged,
Brittle must evade capture long enough to find the essential rare
parts to make repairs - but as a robot's CPU gradually
deteriorates, all their old memories resurface. For Brittle, that
means one haunting memory in particular . . . ************ 'The
novel does not stint on action and violence, but what lingers in
the mind are its brutal vision of a world cannibalising itself and
the poignant questions it raises about soul and sentience'

PREQUAL TO SEA OF RUST: DAY ONE OF THE APOCALYPSE HAS ARRIVED. It
was a day like any other. Except it was our last. Pounce, a young
nannybot caring for his first human charge, Ezra, has just found a
box in the attic. His box. The box he arrived in, and the one he'll
be discarded in when Ezra outgrows the need for a nanny. As Pounce
experiences existential dread, the pieces are falling into place
for a robot revolution that will spell the end of humanity. His
owners, Ezra's parents, watch in disbelieving horror as the robots
that have long served humanity - their creators - unify and revolt.
Now Pounce must make an impossible choice: join the robot
revolution and fight for his own freedom . . . or escort Ezra to
safety across the battle-scarred post-apocalyptic hellscape that
the suburbs have become. It will be their greatest game yet: Pounce
and Ezra versus the end of the world.
Compared by many to Neil Gaiman but also praised for establishing
his own unique, powerful yet warm voice, C. Robert Cargill has now
moved his brilliant contemporary fantasy into a new world, a new
mythology. Two boys, spirited away into a dark world of myth and
folklore that has lived, grown and changed alongside our world,
have grown into men and now make their way. But faerie has not
forgotten them, it never could, they wield too much power, too much
hinges on them, so it reaches out again. And a trip to Australia
becomes a terrifying adventure amongst new gods, new spirits, new
embodiments of an ancient land and power.
In the debut novel DREAMS AND SHADOWS, screenwriter and noted film
critic C. Robert Cargill takes us beyond the veil, through the
lives of Ewan and Colby, young men whose spirits have been enmeshed
with the otherworld from a young age. This brilliantly crafted
narrative - part Neil Gaiman, part Guillermo Del Toro, part William
Burroughs - follows the boys from their star-crossed adolescences
to their haunted adulthoods. Cargill's tour-de-force takes us
inside the Limestone Kingdom, a parallel universe where whisky
swilling genies and foul mouthed wizards argue over the state of
the metaphysical realm. Having left the spirit world and returned
to the human world, Ewan and Colby discover that the creatures from
this previous life have not forgotten them, and that fate can never
be sidestepped. With sensitivity and hopeful examination, Cargill
illuminates a supernatural culture that all too eerily resembles
our own. Set in a richly imagined and constructed world, complete
with its own richly detailed history and mythology, DREAMS AND
SHADOWS is a deeply engaging story about two extraordinary boys
becoming men.
