      Sixty-five million years ago, a disastrous cataclysm eliminated three quarters of all life on Earth. Overnight, the ago of dinosaurs ended. The age of dinosaurs ended. The age of mammals had begun. But what if history had happened differently? What if the reptiles had survived to evolve intelligent life? In West of Eden , bestselling author Harry Harrison has created a rich, dramatic saga of a world where the descendents of the dinosaurs struggled with a clan of humans in a battle for survival. Here is the story of Kerrick, a young hunter who grows to manhood among the dinosaurs, escaping at last to rejoin his own kind. His knowledge of their strange customs makes him the humans' leader...and the dinosaurs' greatest enemy. Rivalling Frank Herbert's Dune in the majesty of its scope and conception, West of Eden is a monumental epic of love and savagery, bravery and hope.

      Flashy's back in his raunchiest romp yet. Victiorian England's most notorious swashbuckling student is wrenched from his typical, pleasurable contemplation of indecent intentions and thrust headfirst into the middle of an Indian mutiny as a secret agent extraordinaire. Pity the insatiable Flash as he bumbles, cowers, and sidesteps his way around Russian spies, thug stranglers, and rampaging hordes of Sepoy mutineers only to meet his match in the voluptuous Princess Lakshmibai, the Imperial Jezebel of Jhansi, with an amorous appetite even more voracious than his own. Never has Flashman been forced to rise to so great a challenge - again and again and again...

      Three generations of drama, passion and turmoil... A glorious, full-blooded novel brimming with memorable characters which centres on Cashelmara, the coldly beautiful Georgian house in Galway, ancestral home of Edward de Salis. Charged with emotion, the fast-moving plot follows the turbulent fortunes of an aristocratic Victorian family through half a century of furious encounters, ill-advised liaisons and bitter-sweet interludes of love.
