The Time Machine And
Other Works
£2.00
In these 'scientific romances' H. G. Wells sees the present reflected in the future & the future in the present. His aim is to provoke rather than predict.

The Sleeper falls into a trance, waking up two centuries later as the richest man in a world of new technologies, power-greedy leaders, sensual elites, & brutalised industrial slaves.

Arriving in the year 802, 701, the Time-Traveller finds that humanity has evolved into two drastically different species; going farther still, he witnesses the ultimate fate of the solar system. The Chronic Argonauts, the original version of The Time Machine, pits a scientist with daring views of time & space against superstitious villagers.

In all three works Wells laces vivid adventure stories with the latest ideas in biology & physics.

This paperback book has 344 pages & measures: 19.6 x 12.6 x 1.6cm

The Time Of My Life
£6.99
Make sure you keep the tissues handy for this remarkably strong, open & heartbreaking memoir... In a career spanning more than thirty years, Patrick Swayze has made a name for himself on the stage, the screen, & television. Known for his versatility, passion & fearlessness, he's become one of the world's most beloved actors. But in February 2008, Patrick announced he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Always a fighter, he refused to let the disease bring him to his knees, & his bravery has inspired both his legion of fans & cancer patients everywhere. In this memoir, written with wisdom & heart, Patrick recounts much more than his bout with cancer. In vivid detail, he describes his Texas upbringing, his personal struggles, his rise to fame, his commercial breakthroughs in Dirty Dancing & Ghost, & the soul mate who's stood by his side through it all: his wife, writer & director Lisa Niemi. This book proves that life shouldn't be lived as a series of endings, but rather as the beginning of greater strength & love. ...

The Time Of The Reaper
£1.99
They call it the Sickness. Nobody knows what causes it or where it comes from. Nobody knows why it only seems to affect the adult population. But everyone knows that if you catch it & you're over 18, you die. All around the world, teenagers like Travis, Richie, Mel, Jessica & Simon, find themselves thrown together & forced to cooperate. But a world without rules is not the utopia many survivors thought it would be. Everything, now, is deadly serious. Those who can't adjust to their new situation find themselves going the same way as the adults. Factions form quickly. Some want to take what they need through strength of arms, but others
- the most organised
- want to try to rebuild the world their parents left behind. Restoring society will be hard, but not impossible. After all, they reason, the worst is over. But they're wrong. It's only just begun...

The Time Travellers
Guide To Medieval
England - A
Handbook For
£8.99
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there... Imagine you could travel back to the fourteenth century. What would you see, & hear, & smell? Where would you stay? What are you going to eat? & how are you going to test to see if you are going down with the plague? In The Time Traveller's Guide... Ian Mortimer's radical new approach turns our entire understanding of history upside down. History is not just something to be studied; it is also something to be lived, whether that's the life of a peasant or a lord. The result is perhaps the most astonishing history book you are ever likely to read; as revolutionary as it is informative, as entertaining as it is startling. ...
