Joy Division changed the
face of music. Godfathers
of the current
alternative scene, they
reinvented rock in the
post-punk era, creating
a new sound - dark,
hypnotic, intense - that
would influence U2,
R.E.M., Radiohead and
many others. Inspired by
the attitude and energy
of punk, Peter Hook and
school friend Bernard
Sumner joined lead-singer
and lyricist Ian Curtis

cobbled-together
instruments, they
created their own unique
sound. In 1980 they had
released two albums and
were on the cusp of
touring America when Ian
Curtis committed suicide.
In this no-holds-barred
account, Peter Hook
gives us the inside story
of life with Joy
Division. He talks with
candour and reflection
about Curtis's suicide
and covers the band's
friendships and
fall-outs; their
rehearsals and recording
sessions; and the many
larger-than-life
characters who formed a
vital part of the Joy
Division legend. Read by

the skids. Depressed by
the recent loss of his
father, berated for
overstepping the mark on
his last case, he's been
'encouraged' to take
leave. It's a fairly dire
situation. But not as
dire as the situation for

Were they just random
jetsam - or were they
targeted for a reason?

contact, Thorne is
seconded to the streets.
Not as a policeman, but
as one of life's rejects.
It fits: he looks the
part - and feels it as
well. In this twilight
netherworld he finds a
society with its own
rules and its own moral
code. And the word on
these streets is that the

Titanic's Last Secrets is
a rollercoaster ride
through the shipbuilding
history, the
transatlantic luxury
liner business, and
shipwreck forensics. If
Titanic had remained
afloat for just two hours
longer than she did,
more than two thousand
people would have lived
instead of died, and the
myth of the great ship
would be one of rescue
instead of tragedy.
Titanic's Last Secrets is
the never-before-told
story of the Ship of
Dreams, a contemporary
adventure that solves a
historical mystery.

Michael Maloney stars in
this dark, brooding
dramatisation of Mary
Shelley's famous novel.
"Frankenstein", first
published in 1818, is
widely recognised as
being one of the first
'science fiction' novels.
Starring Michael Maloney
as Frankenstein and John
Wood as the Creature,
this spine-tingling
dramatisation perfectly
conveys the book's
pervasive sense of unease
and dread. Victor
Frankenstein, an
ambitious young scientist
and seeker after
knowledge, considers it
the pinnacle of his
career when he makes a
Creature in his own name.
But his triumph soon
turns to horror, and he
is appalled when the
Creature, denied a
female counterpart,
turns against his creator
and commits a terrible
crime. In a desperate
attempt to destroy his
creation, the scientist
tracks him from Europe to
the desolate North Pole,
and in this bleak
landscape of ice and fog,
prepares to confront his
nemesis...

Details: Built up over
the millennia, layer
upon layer, the City is
ancient and vast. Over
the centuries, it has
sprawled beyond its
walls, the cause of
constant war with
neighbouring peoples and
kingdoms, laying waste
to what was once green
and fertile. And at the
heart of the City resides
the emperor. Few have
ever seen him. Those who
have remember a man in
his prime and yet he
should be very old. Some
speculate that he is no
longer human, others
wonder if indeed he ever
truly was. And a small
number have come to a
desperate conclusion:
that the only way to stop
the ceaseless slaughter
is to end the emperor's
unnaturally long life.
From the rotting,
flood-ruined catacombs
beneath the City where
the poor struggle to stay
alive to the blood-soaked
fields of battle where so
few heroes survive,
these rebels pin their
hopes on one man. A man
who was once the
emperor's foremost
general. A man, a
revered soldier, who
could lead an uprising
and unite the City. But a
man who was betrayed,
imprisoned, tortured and
is now believed to be
dead... Read by Simon

On Easter Sunday 2007 the
Los Angeles Times
reported that two billion
people worldwide - nearly
a third of the planet's
population - were united
by one powerful common
denominator: The Lord's
Prayer. The Lord's Prayer
is now, as it was when
Jesus taught it to his
disciples, the
incorruptible formula for
personal and global
transformation. Kathleen
McGowan tells how she
came to discover the
prayer's transformative
power by learning the
secret of the Rose with
Six Petals - a mosaic
window in the Cathedral
of Notre Dame. Each petal
represents a different
teaching found within The
Lord's Prayer and is the
map to discovering the
real secret of how to
have the life you truly
desire. The book is
divided into seven
chapters, each
representing a primary
teaching related to lines
in the prayer: faith,
surrender, service,
abundance, forgiveness,
obstacles, and love.
Within each chapter are a
series of questions
designed to make you dig
deep into your heart and
soul. Relating her story
and using the rose
formula, McGowan offers
readers a unique
blueprint to transform
their own lives through
the power of The Lord's
Prayer. Read by Kathleen

Wexford tries to solve a

Max Carver's father - a
watchmaker and inventor -
decides to move his
family to a small town on
the Atlantic coast, to a
house built for a
prestigious surgeon, Dr
Richard Fleischmann and
his wife that was
abandoned when the
couple's son drowned in a
tragic accident. Behind
the house Max spies an
overgrown garden full of
statues surrounded by a
metal fence topped with a
six-pointed star. In the
centre of the garden is
the large statue of a
clown set in another
six-pointed star. Max has
the curious sensation
that the statue is
beckoning to him. As the
family settles in they
grow increasingly uneasy:
they discover a box of
old films belonging to
the Fleischmanns; his
sister has unsettling
dreams and his other
sister hears voices
whispering to her from an
old wardrobe. But Max
spends most of his time
with his new friend
Roland, who takes him
diving to the wreck of a
boat that sank close to
the coast in a terrible
storm. Everyone on board
perished except for one
man - an engineer who
built the lighthouse at
the end of the beach. As

wreck, the chilling

Details: The gathering of
the tribes of the Mongols
has been a long time in
coming but finally,
triumphantly, Temujin of
the Wolves, Genghis
Khan, is given the full
accolade of the overall
leader and their oaths.
Now he can begin to meld
all the previously
warring people into one
army, one nation. But
the task Genghis has set
himself and them is
formidable. He is
determined to travel to
the land of the long-time
enemy, the Chin and
attack them there. The
distances and terrain-the
wide deserts, the
impenetrable
mountains-make it a
difficult venture even
for the legendary
Mongolian speed of
movement, but the
greatest problem is that
of the complex
fortifications, a way of
fighting wars of a
settled urban population
which the nomadic
Mongolians had never come
across. Finding ways to
tackle that and keeping
his tribes together in a
strange environment
presents another new and
exciting challenge for
Genghis Khan. Not only
must Genghis succeed in
this incredible campaign,
but he must also
reconcile the restless
factions among his own
generals, mediate
between his ambitious
brothers and cope with
his own reactions to his
growing sons. The young
warrior has become a
notable and victorious
military commander of
thousands: he must now
learn to become a great
leader of peoples of many
different races and
religions. Read by
Russell Boulter. Ideal

At the end of her
bestselling memoir Eat,
Pray, Love, Elizabeth
Gilbert fell in love with
Felipe - a Brazilian-born
man of Australian
citizenship who'd been
living in Indonesia when
they met. Resettling in
America, the couple
swore eternal fidelity to
each other, but also
swore to never, ever,
under any circumstances
get legally married.
(Both survivors of
difficult divorces.
Enough said.) But
providence intervened one
day in the form of the
U.S. government, who -
after unexpectedly
detaining Felipe at an
American border crossing
- gave the couple a
choice: they could either
get married, or Felipe
would never be allowed to
enter the country again.
Having been effectively
sentenced to wed,
Gilbert tackled her fears
of marriage by delving
completely into this
topic, trying with all
her might to discover
(through historical
research, interviews and
much personal reflection)
what this stubbornly
enduring old institution
actually is. The result
is Committed - a witty
and intelligent
contemplation of marriage
that debunks myths,
unthreads fears and
suggests that sometimes
even the most romantic of
souls must trade in her
amorous fantasies for the
humbling responsibility
of adulthood. Gilbert's
memoir - destined to
become a cherished
handbook for any thinking
person hovering on the
verge of marriage - is
ultimately a clear-eyed
celebration of love,
with all the complexity
and consequence that real
love, in the real world,
actually entails. Read
