    The islanders are up to the high doh. Scotland’s popular reality game show, Game of Trust, is being filmed at Vik Castle and two of their own are taking part. Will the “Saviours” team help them survive, or will the “Murderers” team eliminate them first? 
     
    When Sergeant Wilson receives intelligence that the international art thief, Shoogledy Jack, has infiltrated the game in order to steal Laird Hamish’s valuable painting, she commandeers Losers Club to help her unmask the villain. Sending some of their number in undercover seems like an excellent idea…until a contestant is eliminated in the most gruesome fashion, leaving behind a trail of conflicting stories and half-truths. 
     
    With the remaining contestants locked in the castle and unable to communicate with the outside world, loyalties become strained as the Losers battle to solve the murder, find the thief and stop PC “Easy” Piecey eating all the good chocolate biscuits. If they are all to survive the night, Saviours and Murderers must work together in this ultimate Game of Trust. 
     
    This audiobook also includes the Losers Club short story, The Dubby Sword of Saint Marnoch!

    Is sex with The Hulk technically a threesome? Does The Flash do everything faster? Has Wonder Woman really never faked an orgasm? 
     
     
     
    Explore these questions and more with this collection of speculative, comedic essays on how superpowers might affect the sex lives of famous superheroes. Based on genuine scientific research and both Marvel and DC comic book and movie canon (and more!), Sex Lives of Superheroes is a refreshingly frank and fun deep dive into the pros, cons, and plot twists of superpowered sex. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from biology, physics, psychology, and more to play out (wild, fictional) scenarios about superheroes' sex lives, this in-depth analysis will definitively answer your burning questions, including: 
     
     
     
    ● How does sex ed from the 1930s and 1940s stack up to today's (and what does that mean for Captain America's love life)? 
     
     
     
    ● Can Spider-Man do whatever a spider can . . . in bed? 
     
     
     
    ● Does Green Lantern prove that sex is better in space? 
     
     
     
    With interludes detailing some of the strangest sexcapades in superhero history, and the closest sexual equivalents we have in the real world, Sex Lives of Superheroes is a testament that sometimes life is even stranger than fiction. 
     
     
     
    This enhanced audio edition features a bonus chapter of excerpts from the author's award-winning podcast Talk From Superheroes.

    An Apology for Idlers and Other Essays 
    Justifying his rejection of an established profession, in 1877 Stevenson offered An Apology for Idlers. 
    "A happy man or woman", he reasoned, "is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He or she is a radiating focus of goodwill" and a practical demonstration of "the great Theorem of the Liveableness of Life". So that if they cannot be happy in the "handicap race for sixpenny pieces", let them take their own "by-road". 
    A beautiful, charming and lyrical collection of good humored essays by the beloved writer of the classics Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verse.
