Presented as the play that Shakespeare did not dare to write, this is the dramatised biography of Thomas Langley, the power behind the throne of Henry V. The novel's dramatic events, including Bolingbroke's rebellion, Richard II's murder and the battle of Shrewsbury, are recreated from contemporary documents and meticulously researched details. The next volume will cover the years 1407-1415.

Hot on the heels of Thomas Langley: The First Spin-Doctor (c.1363-1437) , this new title from Ian Sharman focuses on the history and literature of the 10th and 11th centuries. Sharman discusses the propaganda machine of the middle ages, the politicians, propagandists and `media' pundits; debate, lobbying, biases and deceptions of the time. Full of modern analogies, this book is designed to appeal to a general audience and Sharman's writing style makes it a really enjoyable read.

Alpha Gods: Betrayal

Alpha Gods: Revelation

What if everything we knew about the ancient history of our world was wrong? What if ancient civilizations left clues to the existence of a lost world behind in their monuments and architecture? When Lady Emmaline Harcourt's fiancé goes missing while on an expedition to find traces of this ancient, lost civilization, she recruits notorious thief, rogue, possible murderer and, worst of all, American, Trent Bridgstock to accompany her on a world spanning hunt for her missing fiancé and a lost world. The Lady and the Lost World is an archaeological action-adventure tale in the tradition of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider with a surprising Lovecraftian twist.

Alpha Gods: Omnibus

Welcome to a world where being a superhero is just another job. A world where the rich can afford comprehensive hero protection policies that ensure that the best heroes will come to their aid in an emergency. The poor, however, have to make-do with protection from government sponsored agencies with limited resources whose staff are...shall we say...a little less heroic. We've tracked the lives of the heroes that make up one of these government sponsored agencies, Heroes 4 Zeroes, through three books...so far. We've seen them through relationship troubles, trips to the supermarket, battles against an unfeeling killer, convention appearances, appearances on reality TV, a takeover of parliament and more! And now all of those adventures are available in one enormous book! Just look at how thick it is...feel that weight...impressive, eh? "The most astonishing thing about the series, in fact, is its ability to take massive shifts in tone very much in its stride - to modulate from farce to tragedy and make both of those extremes fit and feel right in the narrative frame." Mike Carey
