Ambitious and addictive, Only Time Will Tell is the first novel in
Jeffrey Archer's The Clifton Chronicles, beginning the epic tale of
Harry Clifton, a working-class boy from the docks of Bristol. It is
1920, and against the backdrop of a world ravaged by conflict,
Harry's story begins with the words 'I was told that my father was
killed in the war'. Harry's existence is defined by the death of
his father and he seems destined to a life on the docks until a
remarkable gift wins him a scholarship to an exclusive boys school
and entry into a world he could never have envisaged. Over the
course of twenty years, as the Second World War and the fight
against Hitler draws nearer, Harry will learn the awful truth about
his father's death and of his own connections to a powerful
shipping family, the Barringtons. And in doing so, he will change
his destiny forever . . . Richly imagined and populated with
remarkable characters, The Clifton Chronicles will take you on a
powerful journey, bringing to life one hundred years of family
history in a story neither you, nor Harry, could ever have dreamt
of. Continue the bestselling series with The Sins of the Father and
Best Kept Secret.
Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny,
one-plane charter airline; staffed by two pilots, one on his way
down, and one who was never up to start with. Whether flying a cat
to Abu Dhabi, dealing with a nervous bassoonist, hunting for a
cleverly-hidden lemon or attempting to celebrate Christmas in seven
minutes, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too
difficult. Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has
employed two of the very cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain
Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little
thing like lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas
Richardson, smooth-voiced old sky-god and eternal schemer.
Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur,
proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat. Written by
John Finnemore (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, The Now Show),
Cabin Pressure stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict
Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore
as Arthur. 'The more I listen to John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure,
the more I think what a stonking masterpiece it is. Perfect in
every department.' - Philip Pullman '... a diamond in radio's
crown' - Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph 10 CDs. 8 hrs 50 mins.
