Five Great Novels: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep", "Martian Time Slip", "Ubik", "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", "A Scanner Darkly" Philip K. Dick  
More Details

This volume contains DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? (filmed as BLADERUNNER), MARTIAN TIME SLIP, UBIK, THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH and A SCANNER DARKLY. Taken together they represent the best of Philip K. Dick's unique imagination. In Dick's writing nothing is what it seems, our sense of the world's order is fatally undermined and mass media tells us nothing but artful lies. Films such as THE MATRIX and THE TRUMAN SHOW would not have been made but for Philip K. Dick. His work has never been more timely.

The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana Umberto Eco  
More Details

In this fascinating, abundant new novel from the incomparable Eco, Yambo, a rare-book dealer, has suffered a bizarre form of memory loss. He can remember every book he ever read but nothing about his own life. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws into his old family home and searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums and diaries kept in the attic. And so Yambo relives his youth: Mussolini, Catholic education, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the flames to capture one simple, innocent image, that of his first love.

More Details

Meet the New Bosses The hugely acclaimed team of Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) and Bryan Hitch (JLA) conclude their earth-rattling run on The Authority, just in time for the super-cool team of Mark Millar (Judge Dredd/ JLA) and Frank Quitely (Batman: The Scottish Connection) to come aboard and rock your world. In the first of two, epic story-arcs our heros battle god, who is keen on wiping out the viral infestation (ie. mankind) that has colonised earth.

The Edwardian-era Steampunk tale of Great Britain's greatest detective, Sax Raker, whose investigation into a mysterious, vanishing killer threatens to unravel the entire world around him.

The year is 1907, and Britain has entered into a terrifying war with Ruritania, whose strange metal planes darken the skies, and whose monstrous war engines cast looming shadows from across the channel. Doctor Robert Watcham, lately returned to London from the front, makes his homecoming to Dilke Street. There lives his old friend and England's greatest amateur detective, Sax Raker. Even as his beloved city prepares for war, Raker is himself about to embark on the strangest (and, perhaps, the most important) investigation of his career: the case of the man who wasn't there. Is the mysterious, vanishing killer, at last, evidence for Raker's long-held belief in a secret criminal mastermind? Is it some apparition uniquely belonging to this city, a place that seems to have lost all semblance of sense two years ago? Or do all the signs point to something much, much worse?

More Details

Six years ago, twelve psychic children accidentally used their powers to flood the world. Now they attempt to rebuild society and defend London's Whitechapel survivors from one of their own.

Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds live in and defend Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. Fearing the return of an old enemy from beyond their borders, the Freakangels discover that their latest threat comes from inside their ranks, as one of their own breaks the most sacred rule — never to violate the mind of a person under their protection. Gunplay and a telekinetic confrontation ensue, distracting the group... and leading to a face-to-face confrontation with Mark, the exiled Freakangel who seeks bloody retribution. The third chapter in award-winning author Warren Ellis' post-apocalyptic web comic series!
