Back when they were students, just like everybody else, Ray Ash and Simon Darcourt had dreams about what they`d do when they grew up. In both their cases, it was to be rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast, and just like everybody else, they`re having to accept the less glamorous hands reality has dealt them. Nervous new father Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it`s affairs, for others it`s the bottle, and for Simon it`s serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.

Rock and Roll was born in 1956. In that year, Elvis released "Heartbreak Hotel;" Chuck Berry sang "Roll Over Beethoven;" Little Richard blurred the boundary with "Tutti Fruitti;" Janis Martin sang for women with "Drugstore Rock and Roll;" while pop music hit the big screen with "Rock Around the Clock." In one year the youth quake went overground. Music journalist Nick Johnstone charts the events of this turning point and the origins of rock and roll, showing how the DNA fused in that one burst of creativity persisted for the next 50 years.
Stephen Hawking`s worldwide bestseller, "A Brief History of Time", has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author`s engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book`s most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for "A Briefer History of Time": its author`s wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and this book is literally...
A second short story collection from Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat and Peaches for Monsieur le Cure. `Stories are like Russian dolls; open them up, and in each one you`ll find another story`.
