Herzog is alone now that Medeleine has left him. Locked for days in the custody of his rambling memories, Herzog scrawls frantic letters which he never mails. His mind buzzes with conundrums & polemics, writing in a spectacular intellectual labyrinth. Is he crazy, or is he a genius? ...

He says: Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell phones & speed dialling, it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you. She says: There is something great about knowing that my only job is to be as happy as I can be about my life & feel as good as I can about myself, & to lead as full & eventful life as I can, so that it doesn't ever feel like I'm just waiting around for some guy to ask me out. & most importantly, it's good for us all to remember that we don't need to scheme & plot, or beg anyone to ask us out. We're fantastic. Read by Liz Tuccillo & Greg Behrendt ...

When Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess set off for Britain on a peace mission in May 1941, he launched one of the great mysteries of the Second World War. Had he really acted alone, without Hitler's knowledge? Who were the British he had come to see? Was British intelligence involved? Now, award-winning historian Peter Padfield presents striking new evidence that demands the wholesale reappraisal of the episode, both in terms of what actually happened
- & who knew what
- & its significance in the wider context of the war. For, allied to a powerful argument that Hess must have had both Hitler's backing & considerable encouragement from Britain, Padfield demonstrates that he also brought with him a draft peace treaty committing Hitler to the evacuation of occupied European countries. Made public, this would have destroyed Churchill's campaign to bring the United States into the war. Expertly woven into a compelling narrative that touches on Lord (Victor) Rothschild & the Cambridge spy ring, possible British foreknowledge of Operation Barbarossa & the 'final solution', MI6's use of Hess to prevent the bombing of London & the mysterious circumstances of his death in Spandau prison
- including the previously unseen witness accounts from that day
- Hess, Hitler & Churchill is among the most important history books of recent years.

Glasgow would destroy her innocence, but not her dreams of love. Even to a girl from the slums of Bristol, the streets of Glasgow were inhospitable & grey, the wealth & splendour of its mansions cold & heartless. But for Hester Dark, there could be no turning back ...

Once upon a time there was a Chef called Heston who opened a small restaurant called the Fat Duck. At first, he served only simple French classics but gradually, as is the way of things, the Chef's curiosity got the better of him & he began thinking up more unusual dishes, such as Snail Porridge & Chocolate Wine. There was even talk of a meringue that made diners snort plumes of vapour, like a dragon. Word spread & reached the ears of the Executives who ran a television channel, & they summoned the Chef to their glass fortress. ' We command you to create six Fantastical Feasts', they said. ' These must be based on history, but you may draw on fairytales & legends. We should warn you that the Quest will involve journeys to Transylvania in search of the legendary Leech Recipe of Sibiu, & to the Black Forest to eat the eyes of the Wild Boar of Munstertal. You must resist the temptations of the Burlesque Girls, & you must turn chocolate cake into a raging fireball & chicken's testicles into jelly beans. There will be hunting for hallucinogenic mushrooms & cooking with Play-Doh. Out of this, you must create the most magical dishes imaginable'. ' Well, how about lickable wallpaper, a savoury Zoom lolly, a chocolate-covered iceberg, a golden egg & an edible graveyard?' offered the Chef. ' It's a start', said the Executives. ' Oh, & once you have achieved the Quest, you must bring us proof, in the form of a Book. But not just any Book. We want tales of extravagant ingredients, of revolutionary techniques, of familiar kitchen appliances put to unfamiliar uses. We want to see what you see. Taste what you taste. In short, we want complete & unparalleled access to your fantastical world'. ...
