Civilization has finally reached the breaking point. An unknown enemy has detonated an EMP, crippling the country and leaving millions without food, water, or medical supplies.

Two months without power has plunged the nation into chaos. Without technology, humanity is crumbling. Starvation spreads while brutal gangs rise, dominating in a savage fight for control. Between John McGregor and his trapped daughter lies a nation in darkness, and a city that has become a fortress of fear.

In a world engulfed by darkness, the courageous determination of Jennifer Smith shines as the lone beacon of hope in a landscape destroyed by bitter cold and chaos. Stripped of technology, humanity teeters on the brink of collapse. Starvation grips the land as ruthless gangs ascend, engaged in a battle for supremacy in this new, savage world.

It's been a month without power. With no phones, no computers, and no reprieve, the remaining fragments of humanity are disintegrating rapidly. Starvation grips the populace as ruthless gangs emerge, seizing control in a merciless free-for-all that engulfs the entire nation.

When an EMP decimates the world’s power grid, the Arizona desert is plunged back into the lawless era of the Old West.

It's been a month without power. With no phones, no computers, and no reprieve, the remaining fragments of humanity are disintegrating rapidly. Starvation grips the populace as ruthless gangs emerge, seizing control in a merciless free-for-all that engulfs the entire nation. Daniel and Vic Vena weren't content to sit around and wait for the world to end. Long ago, they swore that when the day came, they'd be ready for it. But when an EMP decimates the nation's power grid, the brothers find themselves separated by many miles and even more threats.

The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.

It is 1832. The USS Hayes sails the Indian Ocean, guided by its lord and master, Captain Gellins. Meanwhile, a shipmate is wrongly accused of stealing and faces the fatal lash. He is just one of many who have been falsely accused; others have already met their end at the gratings, all from the lies supplied to the captain by shipmate Penderghast. Who can tell what will happen if certain other shipmates take the law into their own hands to try and right this injustice?

Parkour, the art of displacement, or freerunning—whatever the name, this new discipline born in the Paris suburbs is rapidly being adopted by people throughout the world. Not satisfied to suffer through urban life, these athletic artists or artistic athletes want to thrive in it, all the while earning dignity by daringly reappropriating three motor skills: running, jumping, and climbing. Vincent Thibault explores the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the art of movement and offers ideas on health, sports, urban living, and the relationship between the body and the environment.

Sans doute vous arrive‑t‑il fréquemment de vouloir obtenir quelque chose d'autrui.

The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Never more so than in this collection of 30 weird and macabre tales.

"Comment obtenir que les gens fassent ce qu'ils doivent faire quand ils ne le font pas spontanément ?" C'est en ces termes pratiques presque prosaïques que Robert-Vincent Joule pose la si ancienne question du changement. "Je dis bien ce qu'ils doivent faire." Ni par l'autorité, ni pas la pression, ni par la persuasion, montre l'auteur à partir d'expériences rigoureuses. Autorité, persuasion sont autant de méthodes aux résultats décevants.

From the creators of Morvoren and Mordardh comes this new poetry anthology, capturing the enthralling nature of the sea. Some of Cornwall’s children and their equally creative parents joined poets to explore happy memories of days at the beach. Cornwall’s dramatic coastline, thrust headlong into the ocean, means you are never far from the water. What songs does the ocean sing? What secrets are whispered by the waves? What mysterious creatures swim beneath its glittering surface?

Ella Walsworth-Bell and her co-authors have created thirty-two poems exploring the magic and beauty of sea swimming in Cornwall. Whether you dip a toe, or dive right in; stroll the shoreline, or race through the surf; relax on soft sand, or simply consider the sea temperature from afar… immersed in Morvoren, you will find yourself reflected here.
