Captain Jim Wedderburn has looks, style and courage by the bucketful.
He’s adored by women, respected by men and feared by his enemies. He’s the man to find out who has twisted London into this strange new world, and he knows it.
But in Dream London the city changes a little every night and the people change a little every day. The towers are growing taller, the parks have hidden themselves away and the streets form themselves into strange new patterns. There are people sailing in from new lands down the river, new criminals emerging in the East End and a path spiralling down to another world.
Everyone is changing, no one is who they seem to be.
Praise for Dream London
‘An unclassifiable gem… shares the surreal, absurdist whimsy of Alice in Wonderland, and Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday.’
-The Guardian
‘As strange and unclassifiable a novel as it’s possible to imagine, and a marvellous achievement.’
-Financial Times

Two of James Lovegrove’s early works – weird, satirical, Ballardesque – are here collected in a beautiful new edition.
‘One of the UK SF scene’s most interesting, challenging and adventurous authors’
Saxon Bullock, SFX
DAYS
Nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award
Days is a gigastore the size of a small city, whose security are licensed to kill and whose seven owners brood in the penthouse, far removed from the desperate scramble of consumerism. But at what price commerce? Security man Frank has lost his reflection, Books are entering a localised war with Computers, and there is a riot in Third World Instruments. Time for another flash sale...
‘Endlessly inventive and savage in its humour, Lovegrove’s novel gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “shop till you drop”’
Roz Kaveney
UNTIED KINGDOM
Nominated for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award
When the village of Downbourne is raided and schoolmaster Fen Morris’s wife Moira is snatched, there are no authorities to turn to. In the absence of its government – in exile in the Caribbean following the ‘Unlucky Gamble’ – and subject to random bombings and leaflet drops, the UK is lawless and falling apart. Their marriage was a disaster, but Fen sets out to recover her anyway; but does she even want rescuing?
‘This is the first book I’ve read this year that I can unequivocally recommend to everyone’

War. Heresy. Madness.
Shuos Jedao is unleashed. The long-dead general, preserved with exotic technologies as a weapon, has possessed the body of gifted young captain Kel Cheris.
Now, General Kel Khiruev’s fleet, racing to the Severed March to stop a fresh enemy incursion, has fallen under Jedao’s sway. Only Khiruev’s aide, Lieutenant Colonel Kel Brezan, is able to shake off the influence of the brilliant but psychotic Jedao.
The rogue general seems intent on defending the hexarchate, but can Khiruev—or Brezan—trust him? For that matter, can they trust Kel Command, or will their own rulers wipe out the whole swarm to destroy one man?
