The truth of the Value System is too outrageous to believe. Lawrence has won the support of the Shellingfield dynasty to attack the Value System. But first, he has to prove to the world it’s as evil as he claims. He must get living evidence. As the first tribune of the Protectorate, Nightminster has tasted power, and it’s a taste he likes. He has every intention of getting more of it. His alliance with the Krossington dynasty makes him a formidable force. He’s going to purge the Value System and have Bishop Donald Aldingford indicted for the murder of Julius Shellingfield. He’ll win the support of the glory trusts by putting Sarah-Kelly Newman on trial for mass-murder. With no enemies left, what can stop him achieving supreme power? Operation Ultimate is the fourth part of the Sovereigns of the Collapse dystopian thriller series.
Since the financial Armageddon, it’s been guns, gold and lots of slaves. It is 2106. Seventy years have passed since our times collapsed into the mother of all depressions; strangely permanent, brutally profound. No one cares about over-population, mass extinctions or climate change, because they don’t have to. The world is a post-apocalyptic paradise—for a few. One of those ‘few’ is Donald Aldingford, a star barrister much in demand by high society. He suffers the catastrophe of being shot down and jailed for trespassing into private airspace. And while in prison, he picks up alarming rumours about his younger brother Lawrence, who disappeared ten years earlier, aged seventeen. Despite the risk of becoming ‘disappeared’ himself, Donald takes a deeper interest in the world around him. As he closes on the mystery of his long-lost brother, he pierces the last, most dangerous veil of a rotten society. Sovereigns of the Collapse is a gritty dystopian saga about the world we should have seen coming. It contains adult themes and is not recommended for the under-16s.
Escape to freedom or escape to hell? Lawrence makes a desperate bid for escape across a winter wilderness where danger is patient and very sly. The best he can hope for is a death worth dying. He does not know the outside world is changing. Revolution is in the air. The National Party has launched the Atrocity Commission to track down glory criminals like him. Its enquiries are exposing a brutal world that has existed for decades. And that brutal world has Sarah-Kelly and her National Party in its sights! When the shooting starts, there will be no place for neutrals. Even honest Donald will have to take sides, or perish. The Night of Blind Ambition is the second book in the Sovereigns of the Collapse dystopian saga.

Then suddenly all three are on the run for their lives!

On the way, they discover not all that glitters is gold—sometimes it’s a deadly trap. Meanwhile, Sarah-Kelly’s Atrocity Commission is reaching farther and farther from London. The Church of Nuclear Science is the third book of the Sovereigns of the Collapse dystopian thriller series.
The Invisible Bicycle brings together different insights into the social, cultural and economic history of the bicycle and cycling in historical eras of ubiquitous bicycle use that have remained relatively invisible in bicycle history. It revisits the typical timeline of cycling’s decline in the 1950s and 1960s and the renaissance beginning in the 1970s by bringing forth the large national and local variations, varying uses and images of the bicycle, and different bicycle cultures as well as their historical background and motivations. To understand the role, possibilities and challenges of the bicycle today, it is necessary to know the history that has formed them. Therefore The Invisible Bicycle is recommended also to present-day practitioners and planners of bicycle mobility. Contributors are: Peter Cox, Martin Emanuel, Tiina Männistö-Funk, Timo Myllyntaus, Nicholas Oddy, Harry Oosterhuis, William Steele, Manuel Stoffers, Sue-Yen Tjong Tjin Tai, Frank Veraart.
Have you ever wondered what that 1 outlier would say when you see commercials and products boasting that 9 out of 10 doctors recommend something? Well here’s your answer.... Three doctors explore and explain the least recommended techniques and cures lurking in the darkest corners of medicine through the ages. Entertaining and informative, (and sometimes just plain gross), 1 Out of 10 Doctors Recommends examines the strangest and most unusual medical practices, including drinking your own urine to fight infection, using live eels to relieve constipation, and licking a patient’s head to diagnose cystic fibrosis. As licensed medical physicians who believe that humor is the best medicine, the authors decode the methods behind the seemingly mad science. Fascinating examples include: * the use of bee venom to treat herpes * infecting yourself with intestinal parasites to relieve allergies * “natural” ways to make your genitalia larger * how the insertion of a potato reportedly stops post-delivery bleeding * the effects of salt pork on a sore throat * the supposed benefits of “vampire facials”
