A Midsummer Tempest
A Midsummer Tempest is an 1974 alternate history fantasy novel by Poul Anderson. In 1975, it was nominated for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel and Nebula Award for Best Novel and won the Mythopoeic Award. The setting is in a parallel world where William Shakespeare was not the Bard but the Great Historian. In this world, all the events depicted within Shakespeare's plays were accounts of historical fact, not fiction.

Drive
You don't have to be a crime fiction fan to appreciate the subversion of the American dream that takes place in this hark back to the pulp fiction of 60 or so years ago. James Sallis gives us the seemingly amoral Driver, who is what he does – a man who drives stunt cars in Hollywood for a day job, and getaway cars in his spare time. The novel opens with the aftermath of a shoot-out, the result of the gang Driver is with robbing someone too powerful for them. Driver continues to kill in order to stay alive and, as he does so, the novel asks just how much we are tied to our fates; whether we can ever escape our backgrounds.
A story of ambition, greed, riches and rich people, from the mistress of glitz and glamour herself. Following on from the huge success of SPARKLES, GLAMOUR is Louise Bagshawe's addictive new novel, SCRUPLES and Jackie Collins for the 21st century.
