Blink by Aj Kirby
A group of common-or-garden scientists and engineers plot a course for Planet 121-131, a new planet which they figure has the potential to be terraformed into a new Earth. Upon reaching the planet, they begin to perform tests on it, slowly understanding that the place seems to disobey all known physical laws. Indeed, this unknown, extreme planet gradually reveals itself as so far out of leftfield that it throws everything the crew know about themselves, and the universe into question. The planet bends truth and reality, it blinks in and out of existence. This Schrodinger's cat of a place wants them nowhere near it, but curiosity draws them closer and closer to it, like a force field, until the ultimate confrontation is reached. Does curiosity kill the cats? This philosophical science fiction tale comes from the much-praised pen of the genre-writing tyro, AJ Kirby, the author of Sharkways, Paint this town Red, Perfect World and Bully.

Stereoelectronic Effects

Understanding these effects is the key to understanding molecular behavior, since the same basic three-dimensional interactio ns are responsible for both structure and reactivity. This concise and very accessible volume provides a comprehensive, intentionally non-ma thematical coverage of stereochemistry, along with an in-depth discuss ion of the main classes of organic reactions, promoting a logical and simple way of thinking about chemistry.
The Policy of Truth
"In my line of work you kind of get to know other people's stories. I used to call it 'the osmosis of carrying the sack'. I'm the mailman and I carry your secrets. Once you get down to the brass-tacks of it, life behind the hedges and up the garden paths of brassy north east Leeds resembles a soap opera. And where there is brass there is indeed muck. I can't resist riffling out a few letters every day. I take them home, steam them open, get comfy in my chair and then feast on the truth of them." But what happens when the truth occurs a little closer to home? What happens when you find out a terrible secret which could tear a family apart? What happens when the truth becomes too much to bear? A.J. Kirby's 'The Policy of Truth' is a dark, disturbed masterpiece of a short story. Compellingly told through a highly unreliable narrator, the tale examines the wounds left behind when the band-aid of secrecy is yanked off and the awful truth is revealed.

He Died with His Eyes Open
When a middle-aged alcoholic is found brutally battered to death on a roadside in West London, the case is assigned to a nameless detective sergeant, a tough-talking cynic and fearless loner from the Department of Unexplained Deaths at the Factory police station. Working from cassette tapes left behind in the dead man's property, our narrator must piece together the history of his blighted existence and discover the agents of its cruel end. What he doesn't expect is that digging for the truth will demand plenty of lying, and that the most terrible of villains will also prove to be the most attractive. In the first of six police procedurals that comprise the Factory series, Derek Raymond spins a riveting, and vividly human crime drama. Relentlessly pursuing justice for the dispossessed, his detective narrator treads where few others dare: in the darkest corners of London, a city of sin plagued by unemployment, racism and vice, and peopled by a cast of low-lifes, all utterly convincing and brought to life by Raymond's pitch-perfect dialogue.
