If you think you've got it tough, meet Christopher Snow, the hero of Dean Koontz's novel Fear Nothing. Not only did his parents die under mysterious circumstances, but he's also being stalked by shadowy characters who want Snow to stop trying to find out how they died--or else they'll bump off his remaining loved ones (his supersmart, beer-lapping dog Orson; his best surfing buddy Bobby; and his late-night deejay girlfriend Sasha). And as if being on the lam in his own hometown, Moonlight Bay, California, isn't bad enough, Snow has to outrun his pursuers without leaving town. He has XP--xeroderma pigmentosum--a rare genetic affliction that forces him to avoid light.

Walking & Talking on the here and elsewhere - John Dixon Hunt
In Walking & Talking John Dixon Hunt explores the here of the earth beneath our feet and, in a hinterland of thought and conversation, the elsewhere of the mind. He takes us on multiple journeys to both worlds in the company of great writers and artists: John Evelyn on his ascent of a lively Vesuvius in 1645; Daniel Defoe on his disappointing visit to Buxton and the Devil’s Arse; John Gay and William Hogarth in London; and Charles Dickens and the ‘inexhaustible food for speculation’ of Victorian street-life. In pursuit of elsewhere, the author follows mysterious, sometimes hidden paths (of the sort that native Australians call ‘dream tracks’), to reveal more malleable landscapes where walking indulges the mind as much as the body. It’s a place where landscape, poetry and thought cohere – sometimes literally in the sculpture of Ian Hamilton Finlay – where carefully plotted gardens invite the walker to enter a world of curated make-believe and city streets have as many stories as there are people. On wild Lakeland fells or in urban wandering, from the land of Wordsworth and Wainwright to the great wall of Teardrop Park by the site of New York’s twin towers, and from ...

Elsewhere, Home - Leila Aboulela
Winner of the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year 2018; Longlisted for The People''s Book Prize 2018; From one of our finest contemporary writers whose work has been praised by J.M. Coetzee, Ali Smith and Aminatta Forna, Leila Aboulela''s Elsewhere, Home offers us a rich tableau of life as an immigrant abroad, attempting to navigate the conflicts of assimilation and difference in an unfamiliar world. A young woman''s encounter with a former classmate elicits painful reminders of her former life in Khartoum. A wealthy Sudanese student in Aberdeen begins an unlikely friendship with a Scottish man. A woman experiences an evolving relationship to her favourite writer, whose portrait of their shared culture both reflects and conflicts with her own sense of identity. Shuttling between the dusty, sun-baked streets of Khartoum and the university halls and cramped apartments of Aberdeen and London, Elsewhere, Home explores, with subtlety and restraint, the profound feelings of yearning, loss and alienation that come with leaving one''s homeland in pursuit of a different life.

Soudruh Rock'n'Roll - Dean Reed - Reggie Nadelsonová
Dean Reed byl americký zpěvák, který se stal nevětší rockovou hvězdou v dějinách Sovětského svazu. Byl tak slavný, že se jeho fotky prodávaly vedle obrázků Josifa Stalina. Přesto o něm na Západě slyšel jen málokdo. Reggie Nadelsonová Reeda viděla poprvé v televizním diskusním pořadu v roce 1986. O šest týdnů později byl nalezen mrtev v jezeře nedaleko východního Berlína. Byl zavražděn CIA? Či snad KGB? Nebo žárlivým manželem? Nikdo nevěděl. Reggie Nadelsonová se po rozhodnutí natočit o Reedovi film a rozluštit záhadu jeho života a smrti vydala po jeho stopách napříč Amerikou a východní Evropou. Dean Reed cestoval s kytarou přes rameno celých pětadvacet let, od roku 1961 do 1986. Vystupoval ve 32 zemích, jeho desky patřily mezi ty nejprodávanější od Bulharska po Berlín. Rusové mu udělili cenu Lenina, byl přece jejich Američan. Soudruh rock’n’roll není jen příběh Deana Reeda o tom, jak se z malé hollywoodské hvězdičky stal kovboj studené války, ale také záznamem cesty Reggie Nadelsonové z Denveru do Berlína a z Havaje do Moskvy. Během jejího putování padla berlínská zeď a Dean Reed se stal záhadnou postavou, jehož život představoval neopakovatelný příběh ze světa studené války.

When Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean collapsed to the ice at the climax of their routine to Bolero in the 1984 Winter Olympics, the judges could find no fault, awarding them 12 maximum scores of 6.0, while 24 million viewers watching at home in Britain simply looked on in amazement. Suddenly, we were all experts in figure skating, and we wanted to know more about the couple at the heart of it all. Despite intense interest in them, Torvill & Dean kept their lives private, with many still wondering if the pair were really a couple.

Now, in Our Life on Ice, Torvill & Dean finally open up about the challenges they have faced and the pressures of life in the public eye: Jayne speaks candidly about her struggle with husband Phil to have children, while Chris reveals the heartache in his family story.
