Book excerpt: From the author of the international best seller An Instance of the Fingerpost, Arcadia is an astonishing work of imagination. In Cold War England, Professor Henry Lytten, having renounced a career in espionage, is writing a fantasy novel that dares to imagine a world less fraught than his own. He finds an unlikely confidante in Rosie, an inquisitive young neighbor who, while chasing after Lytten's cat one day, stumbles through a doorway in his cellar and into a stunning and unfamiliar bucolic landscape—remarkably like the fantasy world Lytten is writing about. There she meets a young boy named Jay who is about to embark on a journey that will change both their lives. Elsewhere, in a distopian society where progress is controlled by a corrupt ruling elite, the brilliant scientist Angela Meerson has discovered the potential of a powerful new machine. When the authorities come knocking, she will make an important decision—one that will reverberate through all these different lives and worlds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a millennium ago, Erna, a seismically active yet beautiful world was settled by colonists from far-distant Earth. But the seemingly habitable planet was fraught with perils no one could have foretold. The colonists found themselves caught in a desperate battle for survival against the fae, a terrifying natural force with the power to prey upon the human mind itself, drawing forth a person's worst nightmare images or most treasured dreams and indiscriminately giving them life. Twelve centuries after fate first stranded the colonists on Erna, mankind has achieved an uneasy stalemate, and human sorcerers manipulate the fae for their own profit, little realizing that demonic forces which feed upon such efforts are rapidly gaining in strength. Now, as the hordes of the dark fae multiply, four people—Priest, Adept, Apprentice, and Sorcerer—are about to be drawn inexorably together for a mission which will force them to confront an evil beyond their imagining, in a conflict which will put not only their own lives but the very fate of humankind in jeopardy.

Download or read book The Doors of Eden written by Adrian Tchaikovsky and published by Orbit. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Adrian Tchaikovsky, The Doors of Eden is an extraordinary feat of the imagination and a page-turning adventure about parallel universes and the monsters that they hide. They thought we were safe. They were wrong. Four years ago, two girls went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor. Only one came back. Lee thought she'd lost Mal, but now she's miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has she been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 officers either, and Lee isn't the only one with questions. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor. Dr Khan's research was theoretical; then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors crash open, anything could come through. "Tchaikovsky weaves a masterful tale... a suspenseful joyride through the multiverse." (Booklist)

An elusive opponent. A suspected betrayal. Will David ever see home again – or did his girlfriend set him up for this? "He might not have caught the Jester, but he’s accomplished one thing: he’s managed to be in the same time and place as him. Can he do it again?" David Sinclair wants to get back home to his own time, but to do so he has to catch a man who calls himself The Jester - even though there’s nothing funny about him. The tentative mental connection they share enables David to track his antagonist, but catching him proves difficult when The Jester is able to step into random people and appear as them. Rob, a friend David makes in one of the parallel times, works out a successful trap, but, once caught, The Jester isn’t amused they’ve joined forces and makes them both play again, with devastating results for Rob. Led through dark dystopian times, David tries to work out if his suspicions are correct: Is his girlfriend working with The Jester? Did she recruit David to play his depraved games? But finding out the truth isn’t easy when you're slipping through time. Described as Inter-dimensional hide and seek by one reader, The Game is book one in a dark, sci-fi fantasy series that gives a new meaning to time travel. "You will not come across so well-drawn a villain as The Jester, he is creepy, unexpected, and amorally disturbing. Through him, the author creates a sense of evil that is both frightening and intriguing, like a cobra waiting to strike." - Michael Wombat, author of The Raven's Wing and Fog.
