Godstone - The Kairos Boxes
by G. A. Williams
It is Christmas in England and Jacob is ecstatic when Rachel agrees to go on a date. Life apparently has reached its zenith. However, this joy proves to be short-lived when Jacob's uncle, a university professor, experiments with two ancient wooden boxes - only to suddenly find himself lost in the past. An ill-fated rescue attempt leaves all three trapped in different, perilous times. Hope comes in the unlikely form of an infamous criminal who is thrust into the time-sojourners' lives. Some mysterious Christian martyrs and the great Isaac Newton also cross their paths as they seek to escape the time-trap. As the story unfolds, the dark ages of martyrdom and Civil War cast more shadows than they shed light, on the origin of the mysterious 'Kairos Boxes'.

The Complete Novels of Jane Austen
by Jane Austen
Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator. Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose.
