In this adventure, the TARDIS crew materialise in an England of the future, and find Earth in the grip of a new Ice Age. A team of scientists, under the guidance of Leader Clent, is managing to hold back the advance of huge glaciers - but it's only a matter of time before the ice wins through.

Tersias
Tersias is the newest best-selling book from the author of Shadowmancer and Wormwood. A comet has just missed the Earth and London is living through one of its darkest times. The city is in chaos; its citizens fear apocalypse. Tersias, a blind boy oracle, predicted the comet and can see visions of the future through the darkness. As Tersias's powers increase, people are drawn to the boy, such as Malachi, a charlatan magician, Jonah, a desperate highwayman and Lord Malpas, a keeper of mysterious powers. But none of them are aware of a much darker force that torments Tersias's soul.

The Time Traveler's Wife
This is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets itself and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control, Henry and Clare struggle to lead normal lives. It is a story that is intensely moving and unforgettable.
