Sinossi

The novel tells of the encounter with the pioneers of bamboo bicycle construction, at the end of the 19th century in Austria, through a journey through time. The journey into virtual reality is made possible by artificial intelligence. The framework is a research project called Metaverse+. Rigorously researched, historical facts are woven into a narrative that makes clear the motivations and emotions of the pioneers. Behind this, however, there is always the question of what the retrospective experience of past events means for the time travelers.

    Ancelet Bay, Louisiana, on the surface is a peaceful and quiet little town. It seemed to be the perfect place for workaholic Rusty Martinez to detox and deal with destructive habits that had affected her health.

    Rusty's mental and emotional transformation becomes a wild ride.

  • The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Controversial occultist Crowley writes an intriguing tale of love beyond the grave - cover

    The Testament of Magdalen Blair...

    Edward Alexander Crowley was born on 12th October 1875 to wealthy parents in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. 
     
    He was educated at Malvern College, Tonbridge School, Eastbourne College and finally Trinity College, Cambridge where he focused on his passions of mountaineering and poetry and published several volumes. 
     
    Life for Crowley was to abandon his parents’ Christian faith and instead to inject himself into Western esotericism.  In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was trained in ceremonial magic before studying both Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. 
     
    On his Egyptian honeymoon in 1904 he claimed contact with an entity―Aiwass―who gave him the sacred Book of the Law which served as the basis for the Thelema religion where he identified as its prophet.  During the Great War, which he spent in the United States, he claimed to be working for British Intelligence but by the 1920s he had decamped to pursue a libertine lifestyle in Sicily, and in the ensuing scandals was evicted by the Italian Government. 
     
    He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and the continuing promotion of Thelema. 
     
    During his life he gained widespread notoriety for his drug use, his bisexuality, and his alarming views on society.  In short, polite society frowned on his ways, his thoughts and his influence but to many others his stance had much of value.  Even after death he was a darling for the 60’s counterculture but his influence has since waned.   
     
    His literary works were both prolific and covered many topics.  In the early part of his career he published many poetry books, even plays, before his darker and more forceful works came to dominate his output. 
     
    Aleister Crowley died on 1st December 1947 at Hastings in England. He was 72.

    The Lives of Frankie Abbott -...

    Frankie Abbott is certainly one of the most memorable characters from the British sitcoms Please Sir! (which ran from 1968 to 1971) and The Fenn Street Gang (1971 to 1973). Now, David Barry – the much-loved actor who played Frankie in both TV series and the spin-off film – gives us a highly-anticipated glimpse into what the trouble-maker is up to today. 
    As it turns out, with well over five decades having passed since his Fenn Street days, the mother-smothered fantasist is now living in a care home… and is still a big-talking buffoon whose ‘true stories’ are littered with guns, girls and gangsters. However, with Frankie upsetting some of the home’s other residents, two carers – Marion and Sarah – set out to discover the truth of his past, attempting to find out whether he really was the hard man he still claims to have been. 
    In true sitcom style, these two episodes of The Lives of Frankie Abbott have been recorded in front of a live studio audience, and will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers to the character alike. 
    Additional cast include: Graham Cole as Charlie, Larry Dann as Melvin, Felicity Dean as Marion, Suzanne Maddock as Sarah and Judy Matheson as Grace.
