DI Eden Brooke is called to the aerodrome five miles east of the city when the remains of an airman, identified by his dog tag, are uncovered as workmen extend the runway. It's clear the victim has been buried for decades. Brooke discovers the base was used to train US pilots in the Great War - a quarter of a century earlier. When another soldier's body turns up just days later, it's clear there is a connection . the clues all lead back to a long-lost parish register, and a story of love and revenge which spans two world wars."

Aelfred's Britain: War and Peace in the Viking Age

"Bloomsbury presents Aelfred's Britain by Max Adams, read by Kris Dyer. The story of Aelfred the Great, his war against the Vikings and the foundations of modern Britain. In AD 865, a 'great host' of battle-hardened Norse warriors landed on England's eastern coast, overwhelmed East Anglia with terrifying swiftness and laid the North to waste. Ghosting along estuaries and inshore waters, in 871 they penetrated deep into the southern kingdom of Wessex, ruled over by a new and untested king, Ælfred son of Æðelwulf. It seemed as though the End of Days was come. Max Adams tells the story of the heroic efforts of Ælfred, his successors and fellow-kings of Britain, to adapt and survive in the face of an apocalyptic threat; and in so doing, to lay the foundations of the nations of modern Britain in all their regional diversity.

Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left

"Bloomsbury presents Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left by Roger Scruton, read by Kris Dyer A devastating critique of New Left thinking. In Fools, Frauds and Firebrands, Roger Scruton first surveys and then deconstructs the golden idols of left wing thought from the 1960s to the present day. He dissects the hollow works of Hobsbawm and E. P. Thompson, Galbraith and Dworkin, Sartre and Foucault and exposes the lack of coherence in the works of Althusser, Lacan, Deleuze, Badiou and Žižek. Scruton ponders why the humanities have become so unambiguously aligned to the left, and reveals how fully such thinking has seized the academy in its grasp. In this provocative, compelling and highly entertaining book he explains why empty rhetoric abounds over careful analysis and blatant nonsense over respectable logic, in a shattering demolition of some of today’s most fashionable philosophers.

Green Money

"Young George Ferrier's frivolous jaunt in London ends with an unexpected encounter with the wealthy Mr. Green, an old friend of his father, who spontaneously drafts George into being a trustee for his daughter Elma. George accepts (primarily due to the payment involved) and puts it out of his mind, returning home to his high-spirited Irish mother, distracted astronomer father, and friends Peter Seeley and his sister Cathy. But Mr. Green's sudden death - and the discovery that his fellow trustees are distinctly on the shady side - launches George into a series of rollicking adventures as he attempts to secure the overly-sheltered Elma's wealth, protect her from fortune-hunters, and shield her from her own naïve instincts. First published in 1939 and out of print for many years, Green Money is a delightful tale of fortune and fraud, innocence and experience - and of course romance."

The Life and Trials of Cliff Richard: The Biography

"'Cliff had exploded onto the scene, had become Britain's very own Elvis, and was about to embark on a career that, at the time of writing, has extended into its eighth decade. Nobody at that moment - least of all Cliff - could have foreseen the triumphs that lay ahead, and amongst them, the catalyst for the trial to which that stardom ultimately led.' Sir Cliff Richard is Britain's most successful home-grown pop star with a career that's unlikely ever to be surpassed. Since 1958 he's sold over 250,000,000 records, had fourteen Number 1 and sixty-seven Top 10 singles and, along with Elvis Presley, is the only act to make the UK Top 10 in six consecutive decades. Even now, in his ninth decade, he's still recording and touring to packed venues. With these sorts of figures, it's no wonder Sir Cliff Richard - the pop star - is an entertainment phenomenon. But Sir Cliff Richard - the person - is somewhat of an enigma. In this new book, authors Matt Richards & Mark Langthorne dig deep to find out who Sir Cliff Richard really is. In profiling his life and career, his success, his relationships and his beliefs, they uncover a man of contradictions; the rock & roller who rejected sex and drugs, the poster boy for Christianity, the very public performer who gives little away about his private life, the star who's a national treasure to many yet a figure of ridicule to others. From the stories behind the hit records to the battle to break America, from childhood memories in India to recent abuse allegations and career-threatening headlines, nothing is off-limits in this definitive portrayal, painting a picture of an artist and a man who has become increasingly misunderstood and maligned when he should simply be celebrated for the performer and the person he is."

Joe Victim

"Sometimes reality can really get in the way of a good story. Joe Middleton's story is this: He doesn't remember killing anyone, so there' s no way a jury can convict him of serial murder. He calls himself Joe Victim, trying, as he awaits trial, to convince the psychiatrists that he wasn't in control of his actions, trusting that the system will save him in the end. But others know Joe as the infamous Christchurch Carver and they want to see him dead. There's Melissa, Joe's accomplice in one of the murders, who plans on shooting him on his way to the courthouse before he gets a chance to start talking. Then there's Raphael, whose daughter was one of the Carver's victims. Though he's tried to move on with life as the leader of a counseling group for grieving family members, he'd like nothing more than to watch Joe pay. Finally there's Carl Schroder, the ex-detective who locked Joe up and is determined to put things right for the case of his career. To extract himself from this epic mess, Joe has come up with a desperate plan involving a television psychic who's looking to get rich by making people believe just about anything. It's a long shot, but it had better work before he becomes the poster boy for a death penalty that may be reinstated in New Zealand, which isn't quite the dramatic ending he is hoping for … 'Cleave pulls out all the stops in his seventh Christchurch noir ... [He] juggles all the elements with impressive ease. Darkly humorous references to horrific violence will resonate with Dexter fans.' – Publishers Weekly (starred) 'A little Hannibal Lector. A little Richard von Krafft-Ebing. A lot of gore' – Kirkus Reviews 'Cleave does his usual great job of threading two ongoing stories from two different serials into a single, closely knit unit and as usual, keeps the reader eager for more. It's hard not to empathize with Joe, even cheering for the bad guy is allowed, if for no other reason, we need to know what he will do next.' – Suspense Magazine 'Clever, compelling, and not for the faint hearted. Joe Middleton is the guiltiest 'innocent man' in crime fiction.' – Michael Robotham 'Highly, highly recommended … Enjoy this series, it's unique, different, funny and very, very, good' – Goodreads review 'OMG … this book is at times hilarious, horrific and so packed with twists and turns … Outrageous, impossible to predict and sometimes so visceral that you can't help but buckle in and ride along in this world. Cleave is a rare talent and now that I've blazed through his books, I want to go back and do it again while waiting for MORE!' - Goodreads review"

Eyes in the Sky: Space Telescopes from Hubble to Webb

"Over 50 years ago, astronomers launched the world's first orbiting telescope. This allowed them to gaze further into outer space and examine anything that appears in the sky above our heads, from comets and planets to galaxy clusters and stars. Since then, almost 100 space telescopes have been launched from Earth and are orbiting our planet, with 26 still active and relaying information back to us. As a result of these space-based instruments, such as NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope, we know much more about the universe than we did half a century ago. But why is Hubble, orbiting just 540 kilometres above the Earth, so much more effective than a ground-based telescope? How can a glorified camera tell us not only what distant objects look like, but their detailed chemical composition and three-dimensional structure as well? In Eyes in the Sky, science writer Andrew May takes us on a journey into space to answer these questions and more. Looking at the development of revolutionary instruments, such as Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope, May explores how such technology has helped us understand the evolution of the Universe."
