Blood of the Zombies
Blood of the Zombies (Paperback)
Ian Livingstone
Fighting Fantasy co-creator Ian Livingstone OBE brings the world’s original gamebook series – 30 years old in August 2012 – to the world of the zombie.
Terrible things are happening in Goraya castle…
Insane megalomaniac Gingrich Yurr is preparing to unleash an army of monstrous zombies upon the world. He must be stopped and his undead horde defeated. In this life-or-death adventure the decisions YOU make will decide the fate of the world. Can YOU survive or will YOU become a zombie too?
A Fighting Fantasy gamebook in which YOU are the hero.
Ian Livingstone has been a leading pioneer of the UK games industry since 1975 when he co-founded Games Workshop and launched Dungeons & Dragons in Europe.
In 1982, with Steve Jackson, he wrote The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the first of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, which went on to sell over 16 million copies in 28 languages.
In 1995 he was instrumental in the flotation of Eidos plc where he served as Executive Chairman until 2002. At Eidos he helped to secure and launch many of the company’s major franchises, including Lara Croft:Tomb Raider.
In 2002 he received the BAFTA Special Award for his outstanding contribution to the interactive entertainment industry and in 2006 he was awarded an OBE for services to the computer games industry.
In the Wired 100 list for 2012, Wired magazine ranked him the 16th most influential person in the UK’s digital economy.
‘As a game … it’s surprisingly swift and exciting, with the hectic, minute-to-minute battling and health management beats of Left 4 Dead, and a real sense of the old-school RPG as you keep neat lists of the things you’ve collected and maybe draw a map as you go. It’s not an easy game if you’re going to successfully stop Gingrich Yurr from triggering the apocalypse, but it’s filled with clever elements: keys, pas scodes and phone numbers that unlock specific paragraphs, cameos that include Charlie Higson and Tom Watson (he was dead when I found him, honest), references to Lara Croft and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, and eleventh-hour jokes about valley girls and Pokémon. The text is smart and quietly witty, the choices still make you weigh up your options (and cheat, of course) and the wonderful art, by Kevin Crossley and Greg Staples, hits just the right notes, invoking the lurid horror of old video nasty covers – 9/10’

The World’s Greatest Idea
The World’s Greatest Idea (Hardback)
John Farndon
Where would humanity be now without fire, vaccinations, farming – or wine? A great idea is one that has changed the path of human civilisation. But which is the greatest of them all? John Farndon, author of the bestselling Do You Think You’re Clever?, has set out to find the answer. A distinguished panel of experts agreed on a list of 50 ideas, and each chapter of The World’s Greatest Idea sees Farndon explore the argument for a different one. The candidates are intriguingly varied: Electricity grids enable us to power our cities, but then sewers allowed those cities to grow. Without the wheel, modern civilisation would be pretty much impossible, but take away Logic and we’d lose the essential structures for rational thought …But then what would be the point of all of this without the idea of romance? The World’s Greatest Idea is an enthralling voyage of discovery through the most powerful intellectual, social, scientific and creative brainwaves humans have ever had. They are ranked in the book determined by a public vote on www.theworldsgreatestidea.com But will you agree with the verdict?

Why Aren’t They Here?
Why Aren’t They Here? (Paperback)
The Question of Life on Other Worlds
Surendra Verma
Written by acclaimed science journalist Surendra Verma, this work is a fast-moving and accessible narrative. It outlines the historical, fictional, speculative and emerging scientific views of the possibilities of other life forms. Is there anybody out there? Are there other life forms lurking in outer space – or are they already here? Surendra Verma investigates…The rate of expansion of our universe is mind-blowing: imagine a pea growing to the size of the Milky Way in less time than it takes to blink. In all this infinite space that we cannot even see, let alone explore, it seems certain that there is some life on other worlds. Sir Arthur C. Clarke declared that ‘the universe is full of intelligent life – it’s just been too intelligent to come here’. Journalist Surendra Verma brilliantly outlines the historical, fictional, speculative and emerging scientific opinions on what alien life might be like. From Aristotle to ET via radio, religion and reincarnation, this fast-moving narrative examines history and dispels myths before focusing on the possibilities lurking in space. In a popular and easy-to-read style, Verma uses current research to speculate what life is like on other planets, how we might communicate with them, and what Earth might seem like to visitors.
‘A calm, intelligent and witty survey of mankind’s search for extra-terrestrial life … next time you gaze at the night sky, it’ll feel a bit different.’
‘A masterpiece of science writing and journalism – in-your-face, direct and beautifully written … a gem of wisdom, scholarship and fun. Verma has the grace of great learning, worn lightly.’
