Nobodaddy's Children

In a place and time unknown, two elderly sisters live in a walled garden, secluded from the outside world. For as long as they can remember, Evelyn and Lily have only had each other. What was before the garden, they have forgotten; what lies beyond it, they do not know. Each day is spent in languid service to their home: tending the bees, planting the crops, and dutifully following the instructions of the almanac written by their mother. So, when a nameless boy is found hiding in the boarded house at the centre of this new Eden, the reality of their existence is irrevocably shattered. Who is he? And where did he come from?

The Garden

These are dangerous times on the fourth planet from the sun. Mars, the crown jewel among Earth‿s colonies, has erupted into violence. A group of rebels known as Mars First has launched an uprising against Earth‿s control of the red planet. For Hadrian Stricks, these momentous events are taking place just as his own life is unraveling‿he‿s been accused of killing the richest man on Mars, Gerhard De Brecht. Since he‿s been having an affair with the dead man‿s wife, it‿s not difficult to understand why the police think he‿s guilty. Sure, Hadrian has fantasized about killing Gerhard, but he didn‿t actually do it. Desperate to elude the authorities and prove his innocence, Hadrian hasn‿t got a clue how to accomplish either. Salvation appears in the form of his old pal Arthur Rittlemeyer, a fellow Colonial Marines veteran who thinks it‿s the perfect time to pull off the biggest heist in Martian history. The authorities, he figures, will be too busy trying to put down the Martian rebellion to bother stopping them from making their big score. All Hadrian has to do is lend Arthur his piloting skills in order to help him rob the richest company on Mars‿the De Brecht Corporation . . .

"So why is it cool to meld detective stories, where things add up, and science fiction, where they (typically) don’t? The melding has been around for decades now, even before the first Blade Runner. Maybe ‘cause when they meld, those lousy prognostications might finally make some sense? Call it Space Noir?Which brings me to Hadrian’s Fall, Ian Roumain’s astonishingly imaginative novel, set on Mars and with one of the best opening lines since “Call Me Ishmael”. Forget whether in reality Mars would ever be habitable; Roumain makes you believe that it will be and has created a world (actually two worlds), so real that you could easily lose yourself in either."- From the foreword by Nicholas Meyer (writer/director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and author of The Seven-Percent Solution)These are dangerous times on the fourth planet from the sun.&nbsp;Mars, the crown jewel among Earth’s colonies, has erupted into violence.

Heavenly Delusion, Volume 8

Two elderly sisters tend a large walled garden, planting and reaping crops according to the plans left to them in an almanac by their mother. They are entirely self-sufficient, they believe that the outside world is a wilderness and that they will only survive if they remain in the garden and live as their mother dictated. They live in one part of a large house inherited house, the doors to the upper levels sealed off - the secrets of their past sealed along behind them. And they dare not look beyond the walls for fear of what lurks outside. But then the arrival of a young boy unsettles their careful lives and makes them begin to question the existence they have so carefully forged and the 'truth' that has been laid out for them in this strange new world. One sister believes that everything their mother has taught them will keep them safe; the other longs for the possibilities of a different life she might have lived. Meanwhile the boy is perhaps not quite as innocent as he seems...

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE 21ST CENTURY 'Masterly.' Sunday Times 'A brilliantly executed book by a master craftsman.' MARGARET ATWOOD 'A page-turner and a heartbreaker, a tour de force of knotted tension and buried anguish.' TIME **Complete with a brand new introduction from the Nobel Prize-winning author.** A beautiful anniversary edition to mark twenty years of Kazuo Ishiguro's modern classic, in which he imagines the lives of a group of students growing up in a darkly skewered version of 1990s England. Narrated by Kathy H, as she tries to come to terms with her childhood at the seemingly idyllic Hailsham School, it is a story of love, friendship and memory, charged throughout with a sense of life's fragility. Readers adore Never Let Me Go: 'A masterpiece . . . a beautifully written, skilfully crafted story that reveals what lies in the core of the human heart.' 'Touches the depths of your intellect and your soul.' 'A genuinely moving illustration of an aspect of human nature that we usually like to ignore.' 'I guarantee it will move you and probably bring you close to tears.' 'A masterful read: gripping, thought-provoking, and immensely sad . . . I have found myself thinking about it for days.' 'Undoubtedly a modern classic that spans genres.' 'I read it in a day and I am certain it will stay with me for years.'

Twentieth Anniversary Edition

Never Let Me Go

'All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others'Mr Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, is a lazy drunk. The animals decide to overthrow him in a revolution that will allow them to run the farm, liberating themselves and creating a new life of equality and freedom. But they have underestimated the pigs. Napoleon and Snowball form an elite and take control for themselves, and the tyranny of the farmer is replaced with another kind of control leaving the animals again subject to a ruthless and cruel authority. Imagined only as Orwell could, this powerful fable is instilled with humour and an underlying urgency that makes this one of the most prescient warnings ever written. 'Surely one of the greatest works of literature of the 20th century, delivering truths about politics that remain, to this hour, horribly disturbing' The TimesWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
