The Anomaly

Craig A. Falconer

I guess saving the world once wasn't enough … 
First it was the auroras, lighting up Europe every night. 
Then came the weird clouds over Africa. 
The tidal shifts … the failing crops … the crazy changes to animal migration … 
And I think all of this is just the start. 
I don't buy the official line that these are natural occurrences. 
Not anymore. Not since a whistleblower hid a coded message in my invitation for an upcoming commemoration ceremony on The Vita. 
Now I know the truth—that Earth is in serious danger from the side-effects of their reckless research. 
Since the moment I found out, I’ve known what I have to do. 
Three years ago, I went into space and almost died saving the world from a madman’s evil plan. 
When I made it home, I swore I'd never leave my family behind again. 
But to make sure we'll still have a planet to call home in another three years, I have to go back. 
And this time, they're coming with me …

Sons and Lovers (Version 2)

D.H. Lawrence

Lawrence summarised the plot of Sons and Lovers in a letter to Edward Garnett in 1912: 
“It follows this idea: a woman of character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no satisfaction in her own life. She has had a passion for her husband, so her children are born of passion, and have heaps of vitality. But as her sons grow up she selects them as lovers — first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother — urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can't love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives, and holds them...” 
The present reader tells the story in his authentic regional English, featuring the East Midlands dialect used by Lawrence in the more intimate exchanges between characters. (Summary prepared by Martin Geeson.)

Sherlock Holmes Never Dies -...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Craig...

Five new pastiche stories of the world's greatest detective. These stories are shorter than the other novellas in the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries set and were published earlier in either the MX Books or Belanger Books anthologies of Sherlock Holmes stories (Edited by David Marcum). 'The Singular Tragedy of the Atkinson Brothers at Trincomalee' is one of the unpublished cases we hear about in The Canon. The story Takes Holmes and Watson to the tropical island of Ceylon on behalf of the Foreign Office to investigate the murder of one of the Atkinson brothers and sends Holmes into a nasty web of deceit, murder, and perversion in the heat of the colonies. In 'The Barrel of Lagavulin' the adventures of Sherlock Holmes meet up with characters from the tales of Edgar Allan Poe and we learn what happens long after the horrendous events recorded in 'The Cask of Amontillado.' Did you ever wonder what happened to the characters from the Vermissa Valley that you read about in 'The Valley of Fear?" In 'The Fear of Retribution' you will find out, and it is not pleasant. 'The Adventure of the Winchester Heart-Breaker' takes Holmes and Watson back to the Copper Beeches and to what happened to the nasty child who loved to go 'smack, smack, smack' on the cockroaches. 'The Adventure of the Tea-Stained Diamonds' is a completely new Sherlock Holmes mystery in which Holmes needs to stop a cycle of revenge killings that began years earlier in the tea gardens of Darjeeling. If you love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, these five new mysteries will appeal to you
