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. Cumulative exposure to sun, fluorescent lights, and the like will give him cancer eventually, and he doesn t dare leave the place where he s skillfully done the mambo with melanoma for all of his 28 years. Koontz makes the night-town of Moonlight Bay come alive in this sometimes pulse-pounding, sometimes funny, but mostly rather lyrical thriller. Fans of Koontz s legendary 1986 novel Watchers will love this book s similar theme: our hero and a loveable super-dog deal with a genetic engineering laboratory run amok. Horror fans will savor the evil mutant rhesus millennium monkeys who hunt Snow, the few scenes of eloquent gore, and the plight of certain mutating townsfolk who are, as they put it, becoming something very creepy. Koontz gives Snow and Bobby a lingo that does for surfer talk what Austin Powers did for the Swinging 60s, and his metaphors are almost as madcap as Tom Robbins s: As the chains of the swinging light fixture torqued, the links twisted against one another with enough friction to cause an eerie ringing, as if lizard-eyed altar boys in blood-soaked cassocks and surplices were ringing the unmelodious bells of a satanic mass. Sometimes Koontz s style goes over the top and wipes out, surfer-style, but for the most part, Fear Nothing will have readers bellowing Cowabunga!

For readers of Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, and SAS: Who Dares Wins, comes the extraordinary story of Special Forces soldier Dean Stott.Everybody has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special forces warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful mantra - that of the relentless pursuit of excellence. In 16 years of service, Dean rose to the top of Britain s fighting force, taking part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in the war on terror.But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean s dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put to its toughest test. Just like the day when Dean s dad said that he could never make it as a soldier, Dean s doctors told him that he would never again perform at the elite level.To put it mildly, Dean disagreed, but even those that knew him were staggered by the mission that he set himself - the man who didn t own a bike would cycle the Pan American Highway, a 14,000 mile route that stretches from Argentina to Alaska, passing through some of the most dangerous countries in the world. A passionate mental health campaigner, Dean decided to up the stakes further by setting himself the task of raising a million pounds for charity. With two world records also in his sights, the stage was set for Dean to rediscover the tenacity, bravery, and downright doggedness that saw him rise to the top of the Special Forces. The final curveball arrived in the shape of a wedding invitation from his old friend Prince Harry - would he make it back in time for the royal wedding, or at all? Dean Stott is Relentless, and this is his story.
