Simple village dwellers on a forgotten colony world set out to rediscover their star-spanning heritage and recreate their lives anew for themselves and their families.
Abandoned by his parents and taken in by a barkeep in Dublin, Lonan was taught three things: To steal, fight, & survive.
One day, three ravens reveal he is the son of The Morrigan, the Tuatha Dé Danann war goddess. Lonan is thrown into the never-ending battle between good and evil. Will he embrace his destiny and become a true demi-god? Or will he turn his back and leave the village of Stone Creek to fend for themselves?
There is now only one certainty in life. When things can't possibly get any worse, they absolutely will. And so, after three years of Maybot malfunctioning and Brexit bungling, welcome to BoJo the clown's national circus - where fun for literally none of the family is guaranteed. Fear not, however: Decline and Fail is your personal survival guide to the ongoing political apocalypse. This unremittingly entertaining collection of John Crace's lifegiving political sketches will get you through the darkest of days - or failing that, will at least make you laugh a bit. Miss it at your peril...
Throughout 2017 John Crace, the Guardian's parliamentary sketch writer, watched Prime Minister Theresa May's efforts to remain strong and stable - and, indeed, Prime Minister. He coined the term 'Maybot' for her malfunctioning public appearances. And now, in this edited collection of his unremittingly witty sketches, he tells the full story of Theresa May's turbulent first year in Westminster. As waspishly hilarious as Craig Brown's diaries in Private Eye, I, Maybot is essential and hysterically funny reading for anyone trying to make sense of our crazy political year.
"The Maybot clanks on unstoppably. John Crace's satirical image has passed the definitive sales test - it's been stolen. Universalised." - John Sutherland, SPECTATOR

Sheridan has always felt like she lived in her identical twin's shadow. Taylor is a genius, and they cast long shadows. But when the two sisters wake up 400 years in the future, they have bigger problems to overcome than sibling rivalry.
Much bigger problems.
They find a changed world: domed cities, no animals, and a language that's so different, it barely sounds like English. And the worst news: They can't go back home.
The twenty-fifth-century government transported the young women to their city hoping to find a famous scientist from the past to help perfect a devastating new weapon.
Well, everyone makes mistakes.
The same government has implanted tracking devices in the citizens, limiting and examining everything they do.
Taylor and Sheridan have to find a way out of the city before the government discovers their secrets. To complicate matters, the mob-like Dakine has an interest in getting hold of them too.
The only way for the sisters to elude their pursuers is to put their trust in Echo, a guy with secrets of his own.
Full of adrenaline-injected chases and heartbreaking confessions, Erasing Time is a book you won't want to put down. So don't start it at ten at night when you've got to get up for work in the morning. You've been properly warned.
