The Temp
£7.19
We all know how it works: first you go to School, then you go to University, & then you enter Real Life. & that's the important bit. Real Life is about achievement, recognition, choices. It's about a boss who trusts you, a wardrobe that suits you, friends who support you & a relationship that fulfils you. It`s a mobile phone, an expense account, a company car & a place to park it. Happily Ever After.

Unforunately, Real Life isn't working that way for The Temp. She's managed the university bit, but the job, the dough & the happily-ever-after seem harder than anybody ever told her. Living in Stockwell while she moves through a series of jobs ranging from the horrifying mindless to the bemusingly witless to the simply extraordinary, she realises that something isn't right.

Who cares about a boss who trusts you? She'd settle for a boss who knows her name. This can't be Real Life, can it?

Building on the success of her INDEPENDENT column, Serena Mackesy has created a wonderfully witty, acerbic exposé of office anthropology & a genuinely moving story about the early-twenties doldrums.

The Templar
Revelation:
Secret Guardians Of
The True Identity Of
Christ
£8.99
In the course of their investigations into Leonardo da Vinci & the Turin Shroud, Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince found clues in the work of the great Renaissance artist that pointed to the existence of a secret underground religion. More clues were found in a twentieth-century London church. These were the beginnings of a quest through time & space that led the authors into the mysterious world of secret societies & such bodies as the Freemasons, the Knights Templar & the Cathars & finally back to the ideas & beliefs of the first century AD & a devastating new view of the real character & motives of the founder of Christianity & the roles of John the Baptist & Mary Magdalene.

They reveal nothing less than a secret history, preserved through the centuries but encoded in works of art & even in the great Gothic cathedrals, whose revelation could shake the foundations of the Chruch.

The Temple Of Optimism
£6.42
Famously, Jane Austen created a fictional universe for 'three or four families in a country village'. In this remarkable first novel James Fleming achieves something very similar: out of the relationships of two men & one woman in Derbyshire in 1788 he has created a fiction that bears comparison with the great novelists of the nineteenth century. Anthony Apreece covets the land of his young neighbour, Edward Horne. Edward covets Daisy, Anthony's wife. On such simple foundations, James Fleming builds a novel of extraordinary richness, at once a wholly convincing representation of an eighteenth-century world & an utterly modern dissection of two of mankind's most powerful passions: greed & love ...

The Temple And The Lodge

In this enthralling historical detective story, the authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail trace the flight after 1309 of the Knights Templar from Europe to Scotland, where the Templar heritage was to take root, and would be perpetuated by a network of noble families. That heritage, and the Freemasonry that arose from it, became inseparable from the Stuart cause. The Temple and the Lodge charts the birth of Freemasonry through the survival of Templar traditions, through currents of European thought, through the mystery surrounding Rosslyn chapel, and through an elite cadre of aristocrats attached as personal bodyguards to the French king. Pursuing Freemasonry through the 17th and 18th Centuries, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh reveal its contribution to the fostering of
tolerance, progressive values, and cohesion in English society, which helped to pre-empt a French-style revolution. Even more dramatically, the influence of Freemasonry emerges as key facto in the formation of the United States of America as an embodiment of the ideal 'Masonic Republic'.
