Citizen Survivors: The Red Book

The War is over, Britain has fallen. It wasn't necessarily that Britain had lost the Second World War. In fact, the Citizen Survivors would disagree whether they had simply bowed out, if it was still raging on somewhere else, or whether the whole thing was simply an unfortunate misunderstanding that they were better off having no part of. Citizen Survivors: The Red Book is a nightmarish black comedy, retelling history's most famous 'what if?’ - Not only what if Britain lost World War Two, but what would that mean for those who survived? The Red Book is a dystopian anthology containing eleven short stories written by ten authors. Often tragic, often spooky, often funny, but always weird. Mi...

"10th Century Wales is a country divided, with the kingdom of the south becoming Saxon and the north violently defending the old ways. The inevitable civil war is brutal and savage in this tale of divided loyalty and revenge, treachery and love. The bishops of Wales struggle to keep the faith while knights and war lords turn events to advantage and the lives of ordinary people are changed forever by the conflict. Queen Sacrifice is a tale of love and sacrifice, soldiers and spies, heroes and assassins, who meet in the war to end all wars. The tale is perfect for fans of George R R Martin. The narrative also follows every move in the queen sacrifice game, known as 'The Game of the Century' between Donald Byrne and 13-year-old Bobby Fischer on October 17th, 1956"--Provided by publisher

Moon Rising

Book twelve in the Kit Marlowe series. May 1593. The rumour spreading around London like wildfire is that Kit Marlowe, playwright, poet and government agent, is dead; killed, men say, in a tavern brawl. But can it be true? And is it that simple? A Puritan stranger turns up at the Rose theatre in Southwark bearing somewhat of a resemblance to the man of fire and air. Is it a trick of the light? Is it a ghost? Or has Kit Marlowe really cheated death and is he now out for revenge on those who tried to kill him? From the highest in the land, in the Whitehall corridors of power, to the lowlife of the Smock Alleys, everyone is a target as the dead poet hunts down the men responsible. Moon Rising sees the welcome return of the queen's most enigmatic spy, the Muse's darling, who doesn't let a little thing like death stand in his way.

Diary of a Vigilante

'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves'. ​ One man's angel is another man's devil. One man's hero is another man's killer. ​ It's a blurred line between hero and villain, between vigilante and criminal, between decent citizen and maniac - and this is where Jack finds himself. Jack is a man haunted by the failures of a justice system he feels is broken and the seemingly arbitrary punishments measured out to those who have offended the state. ​ When his friend's family find themselves threatened by a sexual predator and let down by the police, Jack snaps, and a journey of vigilantism, anger and revenge pursues. Told from his point of view, the Diary of a Vigilante, Jack descends further into the pits of the underworld, and the man who set out to clean the streets, finds that he has become the top target of law enforcement. ​ What price will Jack pay for his vengeance, and in a world of eye-for-an-eye justice, what sort of man will he be at the end? Will he become the very same monster he sought to destroy?
