New Releases by Gary Russell

All stories must have beginnings. For John, it was a birthday night out at the theatre. For Timus Irnok Mosta, it was aboard the Eighth Galactic Trig, For TIM, it was a simple transparent cube. For Colonel Mutoni Semper, it was the Paris student riots of 1968. For the twins Adrian and Cynthia, it was an accident in Cumberland. But, of course, all stories, once begun, must also stop. The Schism of Seers had determined that Homo Superior would end, permanently, on Earth – preferably before the new species of mankind had really become established. And there was nothing anybody could do to stop that...

When the Tomorrow People celebrate Adam''s birthday on their Pacific island, none of them suspect that the toxic roots of his family tree are about to be unearthed. Can Adam, Megabyte and Ami stop one dotty old lady unravelling everything they have achieved? And how will this bring other Tomorrow People, ones they didn''t even know existed (like John, Andrew and Hsui Tai), into a battle for Ami''s mind, Megabyte''s heart and Adam''s very soul? This Tomorrow People novella from Chinbeard and Oak Tree Books is the final book of series one, with series two already having been announced.

This pocket-sized novella is a newly edited and re-mastered release of the 2021 story Here Be Dragons. Many centuries ago, before Robin, before King Richard and Prince John, before even Herne the Hunter, there was Sherwood Forest. And at the heart of it, mystical paths were drawn together to protect the future. But something or someone in Robin''s time has chosen now to make a stand and destroy the past, the present and the future - with the help of the dragons, the ancient beasts of legend. And it will take a true hero to stop them. Alone and bewildered, Robin must put right a blood-debt he had no idea had even been raised. And who will fight at his side? Should he fail, Sherwood will merely be the first loss that England will face - and surely not the last...

With Kenny away from Earth working for the Galactic Federation, John, Carol and Stephen embark on their weirdest adventure yet... While Carol works alongside eccentric spiritualist Madame Juniper Rose, John and Stephen witness a psychic attack in the Lab. Both these incidents seem to be linked, and Carol finds herself drawn on a mysterious trek back in time with a friendly ghost for companionship. John and Stephen explore the house at the centre of the activity, but discover that - rather than being the Tomorrow People – they may well end up as yesterday''s nobodies... The first in a new series of The Tomorrow People novels from Oak Tree and Chinbeard Books, this excellent story from Gary Russell will appeal to fans of the TV show and new readers equally.

Despite the best efforts of Dr Grace Holloway, the man dies and another stranger appears, claiming to be the same person in a different body: a wanderer in time and space known only as the Doctor. But the Doctor is not the only alien in San Francisco. His deadly adversary the Master is murdering his way through the city and has taken control of the TARDIS. The Master is desperate to take the Doctor’s newly regenerated body for himself, and if the Doctor does not capitulate, it will literally cost him the Earth... and every last life on it.

Doctor Who: Generace velkého třesku Nový příběh navazující na devátou sérii Doctora Who, velkolepý trhák BBC s Peterem Capaldim v roli dvanáctého Doktora. „Jsem archeoložka. Ale asi jiná než jste očekávali.“ Vánoce 2015, Sydney, Nový Jižní Wales, Austrálie. Dokážete si představit, jak všechny překvapí, když se v sydneyské zátoce otevře časový portál. A taky si dokážete představit, jak je vyvede z míry, když vedle Harbour Bridge dosedne ohromná pyramida, která nevhodně zaclání Port Jackson, a navíc vyzařuje čirou energii. Dokážete si představit úlek v jejich tvářích, když sem dorazí gangster Cyrrus Guča, profesor Jaanson a mimozemská nájemná vražedkyně Kik Zabiják, aby zářící pyramidu obsadili. A nakonec si asi dokážete představit, jak všechny vyděsí, když jim těsně v patách dorazí skupina podvodníků chystajících se provést svůj zatím nejodvážnější husarský kousek. Tenhle gang sestává z Dlouhonožky (sexy komika), Psohlavce (který má na starosti bezpečnost a palebnou sílu), Mrněte (starajícího se o logistiku), Lopaty (hlavní archeoložky a historičky) a Felčara (jehož povinností je uchránit vesmír před explozí, vedle níž velký třesk vypadá jako provlhlá rachejtle). A když někdo omylem probudí Prastary vesmíru – což podle Felčara nebylo úplně moudré ani rozumné –, věci začnou rázem vypadat velmi komplikovaně. Původní román s dvanáctým Doktorem (Peter Capaldi) a Clarou (Jenna Colemanová) v hlavních rolích. ------------- Garry Russel (* 1963) pracuje na scénářích pro Doctora Who, Torchwood i Dobrodružství Sary Jane a je také autorem celé řady románů a příruček z prostředí Whoniversa.
