Sinopse

Perfect for fans of Alex Rider and Artemis Fowl, Simon Fox's latest action-packed thriller is ideal for readers too young for Jack Reacher or Line of Duty.

Archie Blake thought his policeman father teaching him how to pick locks and open safes was just a bit of fun. But when a diamond necklace is stolen and his dad is arrested, Archie realises the only way to prove Dad's innocence is to go on the run and use everything he's learned to uncover the truth.

But Archie soon finds himself deeply tangled in the criminal underworld, where it's hard to know who to trust and even harder to see what's right or wrong. Will Archie be able to find a way out before it's too late?

An explosive new adventure from the author of the unputdownable Running Out of Time. Simon Fox is a rising star in a new generation of thriller writers.

    Keepers of the House - Survival...

    A quiet journey through abandoned roads and silent cities becomes something far more unsettling when instinct pulls a lone survivor toward a place long left behind. What begins as simple movement turns into a slow, haunting exploration of a world shaped by human science and irreversible choices. The tension builds not through action, but through atmosphere — through memory, scent, and the uneasy sense that the past is not finished with those who remain. Every step forward carries emotional weight, as loyalty and survival begin to pull in opposite directions. 
    Keepers of the House is a deeply moving work of classic science fiction that unfolds from an unusual perspective, revealing the aftermath of humanity’s ambition without lectures or spectacle. The story examines what happens when scientific solutions solve the wrong problems too well, leaving behind a planet stripped of balance and meaning. Quiet, relentless, and profoundly human despite its viewpoint, this is science fiction that lingers — a meditation on devotion, loss, and endurance in a world where answers came too late. 
    Lester del Rey was one of the central figures of science fiction’s Golden Age, known not only for his writing but for his lasting influence as an editor and advocate for the genre. His stories often grounded speculative ideas in emotional reality, focusing on consequences rather than heroics. In Keepers of the House, del Rey delivers one of his most restrained and powerful works, proving that the most devastating science fiction doesn’t need explosions — only the courage to follow an idea to its end.

The collection concludes with I’ll Kill You Tomorrow, a gripping tale where tomorrow’s dangers arrive far sooner than anyone expects. 
    These five stories showcase the remarkable range of classic science fiction, blending high adventure, suspense, mystery, and thought-provoking speculation. From hidden worlds and strange devices to unsettling visions of the future, every tale delivers the sense of wonder that made the genre timeless.

    Through practical insights and real-life scenarios, Fetch Your Dreams teaches you how to align your goals with your dog’s natural instincts. Whether you're working with a new puppy or looking to deepen your bond with an older dog, this guide provides a fresh perspective that transforms training into a journey. 
    This is not just about raising a well-behaved dog—it’s about growing together, building trust, and creating a partnership that goes far beyond commands.
