Book Description
As far as Norman Penkridge is concerned, there’s only one problem with having an angel floating above his living room carpet. He’s an atheist! When reclusive computer geek, Norman, starts receiving heavenly visitations, his fiercely logical brain assumes he’s going mad. But as attempts to prove they’re a figment of his imagination fail, he’s faced with a far more alarming scenario. If real, he must accept he’s been chosen from the whole of humanity to prevent EVERYTHING in the Universe... and a few extra dimensions he’s never even heard of... ceasing to exist. That not only includes a Supreme Being he doesn’t believe in, but - of far more immediate concern to Norman - his own bedsit off the Bayswater Road. Writing in a refreshingly original style that's been described as "Douglas Adams meets Terry Pratchett meets Dan Brown", Andy Dane Nye casts a satirical eye over the subject of religion, whilst encouraging the reader to explore the true nature of spirituality in this engaging, humorous, quirky, mystery adventure. “Just brilliant. Witty, clever and totally enthralling. Couldn't put it down.” Amazon review. “Captivating from beginning to end.” Amazon review. “An unfolding intelligent puzzle that’s gripping all the way through.” Amazon review. “A rollicking good read!” Amazon review. “Brilliant, surreal and laugh out loud funny.” Amazon review. “So good I read it twice.” Amazon review. If you’re looking for an unputdownable, thought-provoking read, centred around a mysterious international art conspiracy… featuring spiritual paradoxes and Templar intrigue… where an unlikely hero has to do battle with a group of ruthless industrialists who've chosen to style themselves on the Gods of Ancient Greece… two crack CIA operatives, whose corrupt boss is in the latter’s pay… an eccentric tramp with a posh voice who claims to talk to the dead… an increasingly irate and problematic landlord with the same surname as the father of the atomic bomb… and where the hero's toughest opponent might turn out to be himself… then this is the perfect book for you! A definite must for those who love their fictional intrigue to be mixed with a healthy dose of philosophical musings... and plenty of laughs!

Pages : 440
Book Description
West Chambers, Georgia, was not a large town, but it held close to its own. The town had become somewhat isolated from the outside world. In keeping with that disconnection, conformity was mainstream. If you stood out in appearance or mind-set, you were looked down upon. With this public viewpoint, no one was more out of place than Nathan Kole. As the son of a hero cop, there were many high expectations on his shoulders, but he didn't seem to be living up to any of them in the eyes of the townspeople. He had enough trouble already after a tragedy hit his home, triggering a series of nightmares that he has been unable to escape. The only person he ever confides in is the new girl at his college. Samantha was also a bit of an outcast, not following the popular feminine trends. She, like many others in town, had her own secrets. Erick was born within a dark, secret society led by his wealthy father. Recently discharged from the army, he returns home to the wife chosen for him. Erick's father still holds a tight grip on him even after his imprisonment. When they found the young witch named Jessica holding a book written in a dark language that only Erick could understand, it became apparent that the four of them were connected in some mysterious way. Their journey to discover what ties them together will lead them down a path soaked in blood and paved with the bodies of the unfortunate caught in the crossfire.

The Three
Author: Sarah Lotz
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316242926
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Four simultaneous plane crashes. Three child survivors. A religious fanatic who insists the three are harbingers of the apocalypse. What if he's right? The world is stunned when four commuter planes crash within hours of each other on different continents. Facing global panic, officials are under pressure to find the causes. With terrorist attacks and environmental factors ruled out, there doesn't appear to be a correlation between the crashes, except that in three of the four air disasters a child survivor is found in the wreckage. Dubbed 'The Three' by the international press, the children all exhibit disturbing behavioural problems, presumably caused by the horror they lived through and the unrelenting press attention. This attention becomes more than just intrusive when a rapture cult led by a charismatic evangelical minister insists that the survivors are three of the four harbingers of the apocalypse. The Three are forced to go into hiding, but as the children's behaviour becomes increasingly disturbing, even their guardians begin to question their miraculous survival . . .

Book Description
Poet-sleuth Geoffrey Chaucer is caught up in the chaos of the Peasants' Revolt as he attempts to track down a brutal killer. June, 1381. Embarking on his annual pilgrimage to Canterbury, Geoffrey Chaucer and his fellow travellers are forced to turn back when confronted with a horde of armed and angry peasants, intent on marching to London.

That same night, a woman's body is fished out of the River Thames, her throat cut. When he discovers that the victim was the wife of one of his fellow pilgrims, Chaucer determines to investigate. Could the woman's henpecked husband be responsible for her death? A jealous business rival? Or was she murdered by one of the pilgrims? Does a cold-hearted killer lurk within the Tabard? As the army of rebellious peasants approaches, Chaucer finds himself in a race against time to uncover the truth before anarchy descends.
