  Without the Option

  Some men are born to lead. Others are born to follow. Bertie Wooster, however, was born to regard the legal system as something that happens to other people—preferably at a safe distance.
  In Without the Option, P. G. Wodehouse sends Bertie hurtling from harmless celebration into the dignified horror of British justice, where a misplaced moment of enthusiasm for a policeman's helmet has entirely proper consequences. When his friend Sippy finds himself threatened by an aunt of truly formidable proportions, Bertie agrees—without fully consulting reality—to a bold and highly experimental solution involving impersonation, relocation, and the general suspension of sensible decision-making.
  The countryside, it turns out, is not a refuge so much as a different stage on which to commit the same errors in slightly better lighting. Very quickly, Bertie discovers that "being someone else" is an occupation with no pension plan and a shocking amount of paperwork. Between suspicious relatives, social expectations, and objects of questionable legal ownership, he is soon operating at the very limits of polite endurance.
  Effortlessly comic and structurally disastrous in the most reassuring way, this is Wodehouse at full tilt: where plans behave like unruly pets, authority arrives without warning, and every attempt at improvement quietly accelerates chaos.
  Perfect for listeners who appreciate British humour at its most refined, where catastrophe is inevitable, but always impeccably dressed.

  This might be his biggest coup yet! Legendary master thief Gideon Sable is on the hunt for the ghost of an alien-possessed man in this fast-paced supernatural heist thriller. 
   
  The Preserve in Bath - the British Area 51 - is the secret government dumping ground for all things supernatural and out of space. It is one of the most heavily-guarded places in the world. However, it's not what protects it that makes it so dangerous but the things that are inside . . . 
   
  Gideon Sable - master thief, con artist and self-proclaimed vigilante - faces a challenge he can't refuse. His client, the former Head of the British Rocketry Group, Professor Neil Sharpe, wants him to break into the Preserve. Once inside, Gideon and his crew of supernatural misfits can get any mystical artefact they desire  
  out of the Preserve's collection. The catch? To reach it, they must go through the treacherous Box Tunnel complex and not only face trained guards and booby traps but steal something that can't normally be stolen - a ghost! 
   
  Sharpe's obscure motive leaves Gideon uncertain and suspicious. The only thing he knows for sure is that he can steal anything with just the right amount of preparation - but will he be prepared enough to face whatever the Preserve holds, or will he find himself a permanent part of the government's collection?
