Book of the month
This month sees us shouting about award-winning British fantasy-horror writer Tim Lebbon and his new book FALLEN (the first-ever and much awaited UK release of Lebbon`s books! See News section). Set in the dark and dangerous world of Noreela, it sees "friendly enemies" Ramus, a sick and aging explorer, and Nomi, a woman with an apetite for adventure, set out to scale the Great Divide, a cliff that reaches into the clouds, and earn recognition as the greatest voyagers of all time. In this captivating read that blends wonder and nightmare, follow the intrepid duo as they voyage into the unknown and encounter much more excitement, and terror, than they bargained for... And don`t miss Lebbon`s new horror title THE EVERLASTING, also out this month, in paperback.
