Jump Jet: The Secret History of the Harrier

"THE FASCINATING AND UNEXPECTED STORY OF THE ICONIC HARRIER JUMP JET, AND THE BRITISH ENGINEER WHO BUILT IT Victory in the Falklands War made the Harrier’s name as a world-beating British icon, as capable of giving the enemy a bloody nose as it was of thrilling the crowds at airshows with its thunderous aerial ballet. Its failure seemed inconceivable. But that’s not the real story of the Harrier. From its inception, it faced an uncertain future. Designed to survive a nuclear war, it barely survived government cuts. And in an era of big, supersonic, fighters, the little jump jet was too often dismissed as a novelty. The Harrier’s designer, Ralph Hooper, knew that the naysayers were as wrong as the digital data that failed to produce a working rival to his little jump jet. He saw what the computers could not. Hooper’s masterpiece was born of instinct and feel. And, from day one, was nurtured by American confidence in his unique creation. Rich with revelatory detail, Jump Jet tells the inspiring story of the Harrier’s unlikely triumph, but also reveals for the first time the inside story of Ralph Hooper’s revolutionary design for the Harrier’s successor. And uncovers how Hooper, discarded at home by the company whose reputation he helped cement, was called back to save the day when America’s own troubled jump jet was on life support. This is the real story of a British flying legend, and of the man who made it. © Michael Pryce 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

Model Actress Whatever

"From the acclaimed critic and award-winning author of Anno Dracula comes a bitingly satirical story of superheroism, soap opera and alternative reality -- for readers of Austin Grossman’s Soon I Will Be Invincible and George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards. When Chrissie Chambers (model actress whatever) discovers her soap opera character is about to be killed off, she finally stops dieting and discovers hitherto untapped supernatural abilities. Meanwhile, Chrissie’s aunt - former national heroine Lady Shade - goes missing. Afraid for Jasmine’s safety and itching to costume-up, Chrissie and her ghost-possessed best friend Loulee break into Devil’s Dyke, the asylum where Jasmine works as a therapist with the most dangerous cutthroats (supervillains) in Britain… only to find the inmates have taken over… Chrissie debuts successfully as a cloak (superheroine), but who will become the arch-nemesis of Lady Shade II? In Chrissie’s timeline, the Beatles didn’t split up and recorded a hallucinodelic album in 1972 – Never Mind (strictly, Never Mind the Beatles) – which literally changed the world. Set in an alternative 2020s London, this hugely entertaining, darkly humorous superhero tale is packed with Newman’s trademark wit, and comes with wickedly sharp edges."

Her Perfect Husband: A totally addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

"A dream holiday. A fractured couple. And one of them won’t make it home. James and Laura escape to the sun-drenched hills of Andalusia for what is meant to be a much-needed break. She’s a trauma therapist, burnt out after the suicide of a vulnerable client. He’s reeling from layoffs at work. A week in a remote finca might be just what they need to reconnect. But within hours of arriving, Laura vanishes. There’s no sign of a struggle. No note. Just silence. James is frantic. With no neighbours for miles—aside from a mysterious Dutch family he was certain shouldn’t be there—he turns to Carmen, the flirtatious owner of a nearby bar, for help. She’s eager to assist... maybe too eager. When Detective Isabella Santos is assigned to the case, she quickly finds herself navigating a maze of contradictions. James’s medical history suggests he may not be telling the whole truth—or even remembering it. Carmen’s involvement begins to raise more questions than it answers. A local drunk insists he knows where Laura is. And then there’s the Dutch family in the neighbouring finca—especially their unsettling son, who creeps around James’s property with a grin that never quite reaches his eyes. As secrets surface and the clock ticks, Santos must decide who to trust. Because in the blazing heat of the Spanish countryside, nothing is quite what it seems. And Laura’s time is running out. A tense, unsettling psychological thriller that explores how easily the mind bends under pressure—and how far people will go to keep their secrets buried."

Gone With The Wind: A BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatisation

"A brand new adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s iconic novel, set against the turbulent backdrop of the American Civil War Margaret Mitchell only had one book published in her lifetime, but it was a blockbuster. The epic, 1000-page, 1936 Pulitzer Prize-winning Gone With The Wind?has been hailed as the Great American Novel, sold over 30 million copies worldwide and is one of America’s most cherished books. Epic and sweeping in scale, it tells the story of a passionate, headstrong young woman whose destiny is forged by love and war. Sixteen-year-old Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara lives a life of ease and privilege at her wealthy family’s Georgia plantation home, Tara. But her carefree world is about to be turned upside down. When the man she adores, Ashley Wilkes, marries another woman, she is heartbroken – but worse is in store for her and her family. As the Civil War rips through the South and Atlanta burns, she finds herself fighting for survival. Determined to save her beloved Tara, Scarlett enlists the help of cynical opportunist Rhett Butler, and they embark on a tempestuous romance – yet she cannot let go of her dreams of Ashley... With its unforgettable anti-heroine and vivid depiction of a nation mortally divided and a people forever changed, this classic tale has entranced readers and movie audiences for 90 years. Both seminal and controversial, it has attracted criticism for its racist attitudes, sympathetic stance towards the Confederate South and failure to address the evils of slavery. This major radio retelling skilfully navigates these problematic issues, while never losing sight of the novel’s heart: its compelling characters and stirring, irresistible narrative.

'A remarkable imagination continually provokes both pity and terror' OBSERVER 'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN"

The Doll and Other Stories

"FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA. 'I want to know if men realise when they are insane. Sometimes I think that my brain cannot hold together, it is filled with too much horror - too much despair . . . I cannot sleep, I cannot close my eyes without seeing his damned face. If only it had been a dream.' This collection showcases the budding talent and fierce imagination of Daphne du Maurier, before she went on to write one of the most beloved novels of all time. In these tales of human frailty and obsession, a waterlogged notebook washes ashore, revealing a dark story of jealousy and passion; a vicar coaches a young couple divided by class issues and an older man falls perilously in love with a much younger woman. Each tale demonstrates du Maurier's extraordinary storytelling gifts and her deep understanding of human nature. 'She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense' GUARDIAN 'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Du Maurier employs well the assured balancing of uncanny possibilities ... and the bitterly wry sense of absurdity that were to characterise her finest fiction' HELEN TAYLOR, INDEPENDENT"

The Breaking Point and Other Stories

"FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF REBECCA. 'The apathy of Sunday lay upon the streets. Houses were closed, withdrawn. 'They don't know,' he thought, 'those people inside, how one gesture of mine, now, at this minute, might alter their world. A knock on the door, and someone answers - a woman yawning, an old man in carpet slippers, a child sent by its parents in irritation; and according to what I will, what I decide, their whole future will be decided . . . Sudden murder. Theft. Fire.' It was as simple as that.' In this collection of suspenseful tales in which fantasies, murderous dreams and half-forgotten worlds are exposed, Daphne du Maurier explores the boundaries of reality and imagination. Her characters are caught at those moments when the delicate link between reason and emotion has been stretched to the breaking point. Often chilling, sometimes poignant, these stories display the full range of Daphne du Maurier's considerable talent. 'In this collection, Daphne du Maurier's peerless craftmanship, her eerie sense of the macabre, her gift for sheer story telling come to full fruition' KIRKUS REVIEWS 'She wrote exciting plots ... a writer of fearless originality' PATRICK MCGRATH, GUARDIAN 'The appeal of romance and the clash of highly-charged emotions' NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE"
