Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In the near future, humanity has experienced a great schism. The larger part is ruled by instinct and pleasure: they are ageless, beautiful yet wholly dependent on technology designed by previous generations to sustain them. Having no social structure or self-consciousness to speak of, to the minority they are simply known as the Others. But into this unmarked, timeless community walks Fred, the first visitor from a far-off land. His people are the N-Ps, governed by logic, revolted by the mindless, unfettered sollipsism of the Others. In all respects a model N-P, as Fred conducts his studies, he finds himself caught in an awkward relationship with his test subjects. Fred begins to feel for the childlike members of the Dwelling he observes. Embracing their gaudy, hyperreal life of screens and implants, Fred begins to be changed himself, even as he begins to affect the minds of these Others in ways that may not be to their benefit.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 'They Eat Horses, Don't They?', Piu Marie Eatwell explores the background to, and the contemporary evidence for, 45 myths and misconceptions about the French.

In the course of her thorough - and thoroughly entertaining - investigations, we discover there is more to our enigmatic Gallic neighbour than 365 types of cheese, and that the reality of modern French life is very different from the myths that we create about it.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The hotly anticipated sequel to David Gordon's The Bouncer.For readers who like high-calibre humour mixed with their hard crime, here's a brilliant, pyrotechnic thriller from a fresh virtuoso of the crime caper genre. Ex-black-ops-specialist-turned-strip-club-bouncer Joe Brody has a new qualification to add to his resume: he's the 'sheriff' for an alliance of New York City's mob bosses. In the straight world, you call the cops in the underworld, you call Joe. He's detoxing too much of the hard stuff at the clinic of a Chinese herbalist when the call comes in: the bosses need Joe to help them with ironically a high-end heroin problem. A new drug dealer is in town and the bosses think they might be an Al Quaeda splinter group, trading dope for diamonds to fund a major-league terrorist atrocity. And that would just be bad for business. Joe has a plan. He's a man who knows how to take down a terrorist cell. But first he needs a hit of the hard stuff diamonds, this time and lots of them. Praise for The Bouncer: 'Clever plotting and a light-hearted tone add charm to this lively caper despite its multiple violent deaths . Lots of fun' SUNDAY TIMES 'The Bouncer will toss you over his shoulder like King Kong and carry you away' MAX ALLAN COLLINS 'David Gordon brings an outstanding new voice to the contemporary crime novel' ROBERT CRAIS.
