Those in PerilWilbur Smith

Hazel Bannock is the owner of the Bannock Oil Corp, one of the major global oil producers. While cruising in the Indian Ocean, her yacht is hijacked

by Somalian pirates and her nineteen year old daughter Cayla kidnapped.

Major Hector Cross is an ex-SAS operative and the man behind Cross Bow Security, the company contracted to Bannock Oil to provide all their security. His loyalty to the Bannock family goes beyond the call of duty.

Th e pirates demand a crippling ransom for Cayla’s release, and complicated political and diplomatic sensitivities render the major powers incapable of intervening. With growing evidence of the horrifi c torture to which Cayla is being subjected, Hazel calls on Hector to help her rescue her daughter. Between them, Hazel and Hector are determined to take the law into their own hands.

Another outstanding adventure from one of the world’s best loved storytellers.

The Thieves’ LabyrinthJames McCreet

A death on Waterloo bridge, a body in the river near Wapping, a lady robbed on Wych Street – all common enough daily incidents in early Victorian

London. But when an outrageous theft is committ ed at the port, the clues from these seemingly unconnected crimes soon point irresistibly to a mystery deeper and murkier than the Th ames itself.

Th e rapacious Inspector Newsome has much to prove, ex-police detective George Williamson faces diffi cult choices, and the mysterious Noah Dyson is once more drawn unwillingly within the reach of the authorities. Meanwhile, competing against them all, there is the enigmatic fi gure calling himself Eldritch Batchem…

Th e Th ieves’ Labyrinth is a dazzling Victorian entertainment – a gripping, richly atmospheric murder mystery.

James McCreet was born in Sheffi eld. He taught

English abroad for several years before returning to

GermaniaA Pe r s o nal Hi s t o r y o f G e r man s A n c i e nt a nd Mod e r n

Simon Winder

Germania is a very personal guide to the Germany that Simon Winder loves. Equally passionate about the region’s history, folklore, cuisine, architecture

and landscape, Winder describes Germany’s past afresh – and in doing so sees a country much like our own: Protestant, aggressive and committ ed to eating some very strange food. Th is accessible, enthusiastic and startlingly vivid account is a brilliant introduction to the hidden wonders of Germany.

Simon Winder works in publishing and lives in

Wandsworth Town, London.

‘It made me laugh so hard that I woke up my wife and had to give up reading the book in bed. If Bill Bryson had collabo-rated with W. G. Sebald to write a book about Germany, they might have wound

up with something like this’ Sunday Times July

The Man Who Saved BritainSimon Winder

Aft er victory in World War II, Britain was a relieved but also a profoundly traumatized country. Simon Winder, born into this nation of uncertain identity,

fell in love (as many before and since) with the man created as the antidote, a quintessentially British fi gure of great cultural signifi cance: James Bond. Writt en with passion, wit and a great deal of personal insight and aff ection, this book is his wildly amusing att empt to get to grips with Bond’s legacy and the diffi cult decades in which it really matt ered.

Th e Man Who Saved Britain is a hilarious blend of cultural history, biography and memoir from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Germania.

‘A more entertaining tour of 007, and the period associations that get sucked into

Winder’s great comic intelligence, is hard to imagine’

Good ScienceA G rand Tour

Richard Hamblyn

Science. Does the word fi ll you with excitement, or dread, or something in-between? Th e extracts contained in this book span centuries and continents,

but are unifi ed by their authors’ desire to understand and benefi t the world in which we live.

Good Science is not necessarily a book about great scientifi c theories, complicated equations, or grand old men (or women) in their laboratories; instead, it’s about the places we draw our inspiration from; it’s about daily routines and sudden fl ashes of insight; about dedication, and – sometimes – desperation; and the small moments, questions, quests, clashes, doubts and delights that make us human.

From Galileo to Lewis Carroll, from Marie Curie to Stephen Jay Gould, from rust to snowfl akes, from the fi rst use of the word ‘scientist’ to the fi rst computer, from why the sea is salty to Newtonian physics ‘for women’, Good Science is a book about people, rather than scientists, and as such, it’s a book about politics, passion and poetry.

Richard Hamblyn is the author of The Invention

of Clouds, which won the 2002 Los Angeles Times

Book Prize. He lives in London.

A story of music, madness and the Manic Street Preachers. In February 1995, Richey Edwards checked out of a London hotel instead of fl ying to the US with the rest of the Manic Street Preachers.

The Godless Boys Naomi Wood

England. 1986. Th e Church controls the country, and all members of the Secular Movement have been expelled to the Island. On the Island, religion is outlawed. A gang of boys patrols the community, searching for signs of faith, and punishing any believers. When an English girl arrives – intent on fi nding her mother who disappeared, mysteriously, ten years ago – she is swept up in the dangerous games of the gang.

Th e Godless Boys is a book about faith, and life without faith; about love, and its absence. But above all, it’s about power, and how dangerous it can be to stand out from the crowd.

Naomi Wood lives in London. She studied at

Cambridge and at UEA for her MA in Creative Writing.

Originally from York, she has gone on to live in Hong

The Girl in the Painted CaravanMe m or i e s o f a R omany Chi l d h ood

Eva Petulengro

Born into a Romany gypsy family in 1939, Eva Petulengro’s childhood seemed to her to be idyllic in every way. She would travel the country with her

family in their painted caravan and spend evenings by the fi re as they sang and told stories of their past. She didn’t go to school or visit a doctor when she was unwell. Instead her family would gather wild herbs to make traditional remedies, hunt game and rabbits, and while the men tended horses to make a living, the young girls would join the women in reading palms. But Eva’s perfect world would be turned upside down as the countryside became increasingly hostile to all travellers.

Eva describes the wonderful characters in her family, from her grandfather ‘Naughty’ Petulengro to her four beautiful aunts who entranced everyone they met, as well as the fascinating people they came across on the road. Moving, evocative, romantic and funny, Th e Girl in the Painted Caravan vividly captures a way of life that has now, sadly, all but disappeared.

Th is is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Romany in the 1940s and 50s, just as that world was changing forever.

Eva Petulengro spent her childhood on the road

with her family in their beautiful painted caravan,

before going on to become one of the country’s

leading astrologers, with many famous clients. She

lives in Brighton.

Unreliable SourcesHow th e Twe nt i e th C e nt ur y wa s R e por te d

John Simpson

Through many decades of groundbreaking journalism, John Simpson has become not only one of the most recognisable and trusted British

personalities. With his new book he turns his eye to how Great Britain has been transformed by its free press down the years. He shows how the press has exercised the power it has over the events it reports – at times irresponsibly. He examines how it changed the world and changed itself over the course of the last hundred years, from the fi rst stokings of anti-German sentiment in the years leading up to the First World War, to the Sun’s propping up of the Th atcher government, and beyond.

In this self-analysis from one of the pillars of modern journalism some searching questions are asked, including whether the press can ever be truly free and whether we would desire it to be so. Always incisive, brilliantly readable and never shy of controversy, Unreliable Sources sees John Simpson at the height of his game as one of Britain’s foremost commentators.

John Simpson is the BBC’s World Affairs Editor.

He has twice been the Royal Television Society’s

Journalist of the Year. He has also won three

BAFTAs, including the Richard Dimbleby award

in 1991 and the News and Current Affairs award in

2000 for his coverage, with the BBC News team, of

Arriving at the great houses of 1920s London, fi ft een-year-old Margaret’s life in service was about to begin. As a kitchen maid – the lowest of the low – she entered an entirely new world; one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Yet from the gentleman with a penchant for stroking the housemaids’ curlers, to raucous tea-dances with errand boys, to the heartbreaking story of Agnes the pregnant under-parlourmaid, Margaret’s tales of her time in service are told with wit, warmth, and a sharp eye for the prejudices of her situation. Brilliantly evoking the long-vanished world of masters and servants, Below Stairs is the remarkable true story of an indomitable woman.

Climbing the StairsFrom K i tch e n M aid to C ook Margaret Powell

From the grand houses of Brighton to imposing London mansions, life as a kitchen maid in the 1920s could be exhausting and demoralising. It wasn’t being at the beck and call of the people upstairs, but having to deal with temperamental cooks, starchy butlers and chauff eurs with a roving eye. Told with wit and warmth, Climbing the Stairs is a unique, sharp-eyed tale of a time when the idea of masters and servants began to decline, and of a remarkable woman who grasped the opportunities of this brave new world with both hands.

Margaret Powell was born in 1907 in Hove, and left school at

the age of 13 to start working. At 14, she got a job in a hotel

laundry room, and a year later went into service as a kitchen

maid, eventually progressing to the position of cook. The

publication of the fi rst volume of her memoirs in 1968 turned

her into a celebrity. Margaret died in 1984.

Robert Service

In the immediate aft ermath of the Revolution, the Western powers were anxious to prevent the spread of Bolshevism across Europe. Lenin and Trotsky were

equally anxious that the Communist vision they were busy introducing in Russia should do just that. But neither side knew anything about the other. Th e revolution and Russia’s withdrawal from the First World War had ensured a diplomatic exodus from Moscow and the usual routes to vital information had been closed off .

Into this void stepped an extraordinary collection of opportunists, journalists and spies. Acclaimed historian Robert Service turns his meticulous eye to this ragtag group of people and reveals one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century.

Robert Service is a Fellow of the British Academy

and of St Antony’s College, Oxford. His most recent

book, Trotsky: A Biography was awarded the 2009

Duff Cooper Prize. Married with four children, he

Diamond QueenEl i z abe th I I and He r Peopl e

Andrew Marr

Published alongside a fl agship BBC television series to mark her Diamond Jubilee, this book is an account of Th e Queen’s reign. With the fl air for narrative and

the meticulous research that readers have come to expect, Andrew Marr turns his att ention to the monarch – and to the monarchy, chronicling the Queen’s pivotal role at the centre of the state, which is largely hidden from the public gaze, and making a strong case for the institution itself.

Arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, Marr dissects the Queen’s political relationships, crucially those with her Prime Ministers; he examines her role as Head of the Commonwealth, and her deep commitment to that Commonwealth of nations; he looks at the drastic changes in the media since her accession in 1952 and how the monarchy – and the monarch – have had to change and adapt as a result.

Andrew Marr was born in Glasgow in 1959. He

studied English at the University of Cambridge

and has since enjoyed a long career in political

journalism. From 2000 to 2005 he was the BBC’s

Political Editor. He has written and presented TV

Th e batt le of iSandlwana was the single most destructive incident in the 150-year history of the British colonisation of South Africa. In one bloody day over 800 British troops, 500 of their allies and at least 2000 Zulus were killed in a staggering defeat for the British empire. In Zulu Rising, Ian Knight shows that the brutality of the batt le was the result of an inevitable clash between two aggressive warrior traditions. For the fi rst time he gives full weight to the Zulu experience and explores the reality of the fi ghting through the eyes of men who took part on both sides.

Ian Knight is the leading authority on the Anglo-Zulu War and

The Seventies UnpluggedA K al e id os c op i c L ook at a Vi ol e nt D ecad e Gerard Degroot

If the 1960s was the decade of peace, love and understanding, the 1970s was the decade of glitt er and glam rock. Gerard DeGroot peels away the polyester to examine what really happened in a decade that began with the death of Jimi Hendrix. Some commentators have writt en off the Seventies as a period in which nothing happened, yet politically it was a time of both great hope and extraordinary violence. Th e Seventies became an era when dreams died, hope was thwarted, problems long ignored fi nally exploded, and optimism repeatedly crushed gave way to frustration. Incisive, iconoclastic and hugely entertaining, Th e Seventies Unplugged is popular history at its best.

Bear GryllsBear Grylls spent three years with the British Special Forces. During this time he had a horrendous

parachuting accident in southern Africa, breaking his back in three places. Two years later he overcame

the odds to become the youngest British climber ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Facing the Frozen OceanO n e M an’s D re am to L e a d a Team A c ros s th e Tre a ch e rou s Nor th A t l ant i c

Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2004, this is the compelling account of the most recent adventure of the bestselling author of Facing Up. What started out as a carefully calculated att empt to complete the fi rst unassisted crossing of the frozen north Atlantic from Canada to Iceland in an open rigid infl atable boat, became a terrifying batt le against storm-force winds, crashing waves and icebergs as large as cathedrals.

Facing UpA R e mark abl e S tor y to th e S um mi t o f Mount Eve re s t

At the age of 23, Bear Grylls became the youngest Briton to reach the summit of Mount Everest. At extreme altitude youth holds no advantage over experience, and it is generally acknowledged that younger climbers have more diffi culty coping with the adverse eff ects of mountaineering. Nevertheless, only two years aft er breaking his back in a freefall parachuting accident, Bear Grylls overcame severe weather conditions, fatigue, dehydration and a last-minute illness to stand on top of the world’s highest mountain. Facing Up is the story of his adventure, his courage and humour, his friendship and faith.

The Meaning of LiffDouglas Adams and John Lloyd

In Life* there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist.

On the other hand, the world is litt ered with thousands of spare words which spend their time doing nothing but loafi ng about on signposts pointing at places.

Douglas Adams and John Lloyd saw it as their job to get these words down off the signposts and into the mouths of babes and sucklings and so on, where they could start earning their keep in everyday conversation and make a more positive contribution to society. Th e Meaning of Liff was the bestselling humour book that resulted. It sold hundreds of thousands of copies and remains to this day, nearly thirty years later, a much-loved classic of its kind.

Th is is a collectible new edition of Douglas Adams and John Lloyd’s classic humour book.

*And, indeed, Liff .

Douglas Adams was the world-famous creator of

the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. John Lloyd
