Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN, SUNDAY TIMES, DAILY EXPRESS, SCOTSMAN and SPECTATOR Three journeys. One road. England, 1348. A gentlewoman flees an odious arranged marriage, a Scots proctor sets out for Avignon and a young ploughman in search of freedom is on his way to volunteer with a company of archers. All come together on the road to Calais. Coming in their direction from across the Channel is the Black Death, the plague that will wipe out half of the population of Northern Europe. As the journey unfolds, overshadowed by the archers' past misdeeds and clerical warnings of the imminent end of the world, the wayfarers must confront the nature of their loves and desires. A tremendous feat of language and empathy, it summons a medieval world that is at once uncannily plausible, utterly alien and eerily reflective of our own. James Meek's extraordinary To Calais, In Ordinary Time is a novel about love, class, faith, loss, gender and desire - set against one of the biggest cataclysms of human history.

Book excerpt: Payne Harrison's "Storming Intrepid" was a New York Times Bestseller and a cold war classic that helped define the techno-thriller genre. Now with "Eurostorm" he weaves his narrative magic yet again - this time aboard the Eurostar bullet train as it races under the English Channel from London to Paris. Sealed within the vault of an impregnable security car is a substance so secret and so lethal that only a handful of "mandarins" within Her Majesty's Government even know of its existence. Yet when the train exits from the Chunnel and heads toward Paris, Scotland Yard learns that an evil force has literally risen from the grave to ensnare the train and hijack a cargo that could alter the world as we know it.
