  Charles Dennison has spent years in quiet research, following a clue that leads him to the greatest breakthrough in human history: a functioning immortality serum. But when he heads for Washington to patent his discovery, he finds himself hunted through the city by men who seem to know exactly what he carries—and who will stop at nothing to take it. What begins as a desperate flight becomes a descent into secrecy, manipulation, and a disturbing revelation about who truly controls the world. 
  Captured by an underground organization disguised as ordinary citizens, Dennison learns that immortality isn’t new at all. A hidden elite has been quietly hoarding world-changing inventions for decades, guiding humanity from the shadows. Confronted with their vision of “benevolent leadership,” Dennison must choose between submission, destruction, or joining a group of imprisoned scientists who dare to dream of breaking out and giving their discoveries to the world. 
  Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) was one of the most innovative voices of 20th-century science fiction, celebrated for his sharp wit, high-concept ideas, and uncanny ability to twist expectations. Known for stories that blend satire, suspense, and social commentary, Sheckley became a regular in Galaxy, Fantasy & Science Fiction, IF, and other legendary magazines. 
  His work explored the absurdity of institutions, the quirks of human behavior, and the surprising cost of progress. With hundreds of stories, dozens of novels, and a legacy of influencing writers from Douglas Adams to Philip K. Dick, Sheckley’s fiction remains as fresh, daring, and thought-provoking today as when it first appeared.

  Following the gentle curve of the cliff through soft tussock grass, the old farmhouse lies ahead of her like a beacon. Drawing near, she sees cracks in the sash windows and buddleia seedlings sprouting from chips in the rendering. Years have passed since she visited the house as a child – and yet here it is, still standing, waiting for her…
  
   
  ‘You need rescuing,’ she says, unlatching the wooden gate, ‘and so do I.’
  
   
  Nan Green has been visiting the island of Anglesey for as long as she can remember, drawn back to its windswept beaches and hidden coves every summer. The island is her refuge, a place where as a child she could escape her controlling father, if only for a few weeks.
  
   
  When a ramshackle old cliffside farmhouse she remembers from her childhood comes on the market – complete with a wind-blasted hawthorn tree and endless sea views out towards the Irish coastline – Nan convinces her husband, Robin, they should buy it.
  
   
  But Nan’s dream of a perfect family home by the sea soon starts to crumble. Robin is increasingly distant and dismissive, echoing the past behaviour of her father. Meanwhile, Nan’s mother refuses to visit her new home. What history does she have with the old house? Could it be the same secret that makes islanders say the farmhouse is cursed? And what has it got to do with local craftsman and single father Harri? Locals say he has a troubled history, but when they meet walking along a pebbled beach Nan feels a strange connection to him. She can tell he’s a little broken, just like her.
  
   
  As Nan finds her place in the island community, old wounds begin to heal. But can she let go of her past after so many years? And by rescuing the farmhouse and setting its secrets free, can Nan save herself too?
  
   
  A heart-warming and unputdownable tale about old dreams, new beginnings and finding your own happy ending. Perfect for fans of Susanne O’Leary, Amanda Prowse, Liz Eeles and Sheila O’Flanagan.

  When faced with the primal act of survival, how far would you go to stay alive? Compound this by 1,000, the number of your people in your care, with only you and your dwindling warriors here to protect them from a manic group of black dragons attacking. This is the exact predicament Khellin finds himself in. 
  As chieftain of the Ol'sackay, Khellin's main priority is the health and safety of his clan, but right now, both are being threatened. Astride his Winddoger, Khellin watches helplessly while hundreds of his warriors lay dying all around him in this bitter fight for their lives. Desperate, Khellin turns to the only being left that can possibly help his people—Aslean. 
  Hers are the gifts of Castalar, and she, at this point, is their only hope. Pressured by everything going on around him, Khellin will have to forfeit the responsibility of his clan to Aslean, who has offered to send the very ones he promised to protect into the unknown. Numbly, he holds on to the whispered promise floating in his mind that he will get them back when it is safe. But sacrifice is seldom measured with even scales, and Khellin's hope is that they tip his way. 
  Thrust into a position he never expected to find himself in, Brezlin, the youngest member of his family, must now prove that he has what it takes to lead. As the newly self-appointed leader of the currently displaced Ol'Sackay, Brezlin must now forge ahead into this unfamiliar land with unexpected dangers and impossible obstacles awaiting them. Brezlin's insecurities build having his shortcomings pointed out in comparison to Khellin. Can he gain their trust and respect enough to follow him in this new life?

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
