Download or read book The Ultimate Londoner written by James Ward and published by Cool Millennium. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agent John Mordred gets a nasty shock when he finds himself touted in the press as one of ten potential “Ultimate Londoners”. Especially given that he’s spent his entire adult life trying to pass beneath the radar of just about anyone with a camera or a microphone. Yet with a five million pound prize-pot at stake, plus an awards ceremony on the top floor of The Gherkin, it’s clearly no joke. MI7 looks into it as a matter of urgency, and things go from strange to stranger. For a start, no one in the mainstream media or elsewhere has the faintest idea where it originated. And not even the ‘candidates’ themselves know how they were selected. For Mordred, the unsolicited exposure is profoundly unwelcome. But maybe that’s the whole idea. So far, so irritating. And inconvenient. Then the candidates start dying. As Mordred investigates, the truth slowly emerges. And it’s weirder and more deadly than anyone could possibly have imagined. The Ultimate Londoner. Who will you vote for? “John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget.” – The Booklife Review

Download or read book Producing Early Modern London written by Kelly J. Stage and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early seventeenth-century London playwrights used actual locations in their comedies while simultaneously exploring London as an imagined, ephemeral, urban space. Producing Early Modern London examines this tension between representing place and producing urban space. In analyzing the theater’s use of city spaces and places, Kelly J. Stage shows how the satirical comedies of the early seventeenth century came to embody the city as the city embodied the plays. Stage focuses on city plays by George Chapman, Thomas Dekker, William Haughton, Ben Jonson, John Marston, Thomas Middleton, and John Webster. While the conventional labels of “city comedy” or “citizen comedy” have often been applied to these plays, she argues that London comedies defy these genre categorizations because the ruptures, expansions, conflicts, and imperfections of the expanding city became a part of their form. Rather than defining the “city comedy,” comedy in this period proved to be the genre of London. As the expansion of London’s social space exceeded the strict confines of the “square mile,” the city burgeoned into a new metropolis. The satiric comedies of this period became, in effect, playgrounds for urban experimentation. Early seventeenth-century playwrights seized the opportunity to explore the myriad ways in which London worked, taking the expected—a romance plot, a typical father-son conflict, a cross-dressing intrigue—and turning it into a multifaceted, complex story of interaction and proximity.

Book excerpt: It’s early 2020. MI7 is expecting an eccentric new recruit in the person of Chasha Jones, self-described (only partly tongue-in-cheek) as "the most intelligent woman in London." Perceptive, cerebral, fun to work alongside, everyone looks forward to her arrival. But on the day she's due to start work, there's no sign of her. Nor the day after. Then shockingly, it turns out she's joined an obscure cult run by an eccentric Briton called Hector Raynebow. Raynebow used to be a dedicated eco-warrior, but he's ditched environmentalism on the grounds that humanity, in its present form, isn't really capable of saving the world: the rot has gone too far. But don't worry, he has a solution: Humankind 2.0, a new type of human being, developed by means of cutting-edge gene technology. The trouble is, when more than a few governments encounter the words, "a new type of human being", what they actually hear is "super-soldiers". And their only question then is, assuming Raynebow really is capable of developing such things, who’s going to get their hands on them first? John Mordred is assigned to investigate. But of course, he's not the only one. And to make things even cosier, the investigators are explicitly briefed not to get on with each other.

Download or read book Little War in London written by James Ward and published by Cool Millennium. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an acrimonious US election whose outcome Moscow may or may not have influenced, can it really be that a few maverick intelligence agents from Russia and the United States are fighting a discreet battle-to-the-death on some of London’s back streets? And that the corpses are piling up, out of sight of the British police? And even that the whole thing could spiral at any moment into God knows what version of World War Three? Or is that just more “fake news”? … Well, luckily, no it isn’t. Not yet, anyway. Because the media still hasn’t heard about it. But that could change. When MI7 Agent John Mordred is assigned to investigate, he discovers a veritable Schrödinger’s Cat situation in which the relevant facts are neither wholly present nor entirely absent. And where some of the evidence lies closer to home than is comfortable. Slowly, possibilities emerge that surpass his greatest apprehensions. Or do they? Just what is the truth anyway, and why do we care?
Download or read book Georgian London written by Lucy Inglis and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Georgian London: Into the Streets, Lucy Inglis takes readers on a tour of London's most formative age - the age of love, sex, intellect, art, great ambition and fantastic ruin. Travel back to the Georgian years, a time that changed expectations of what life could be. Peek into the gilded drawing rooms of the aristocracy, walk down the quiet avenues of the new middle class, and crouch in the damp doorways of the poor. But watch your wallet - tourists make perfect prey for the thriving community of hawkers, prostitutes and scavengers. Visit the madhouses of Hackney, the workshops of Soho and the mean streets of Cheapside. Have a coffee in the city, check the stock exchange, and pop into St Paul's to see progress on the new dome. This book is about the Georgians who called London their home, from dukes and artists to rent boys and hot air balloonists meeting dog-nappers and life-models along the way. It investigates the legacies they left us in architecture and art, science and society, and shows the making of the capital millions know and love today. 'Read and be amazed by a city you thought you knew' Jonathan Foyle, World Monuments Fund 'Jam-packed with unusual insights and facts. A great read from a talented new historian' Independent 'Pacy, superbly researched. The real sparkle lies in its relentless cavalcade of insightful anecdotes . . . There's much to treasure here' Londonist 'Inglis has a good ear for the outlandish, the farcical, the bizarre and the macabre. A wonderful popular history of Hanoverian London' London Historians
