In the heart of London, a concerned citizen is taking action: doing something about those everyday irritants that serve to increase the stresses of city life. Spitting out chewing gum, using mobiles in restaurants, barging onto Tube trains, tailgating, and blasting out music on public transport, all incur a heavy price for the transgressors. As punishments escalate in severity and the press make a champion of this anti-hero, Detective Inspector Adam Stark is desperately trying to make sense of what's going on. Random, unconnected victims, excessive retribution, red herrings, kidnap, mutilation, mistaken identity, gangsters, revenge and murder. Things are getting totally out of hand. Stark needs to nail this sociopath with a social conscience, but the case is so bizarre, it might just be running away from him - heading toward a brutal and bloody conclusion.

Tariq Markovic, a 1995 Bosnian war veteran with PTSD-related memory loss, faces new turmoil when his daughter is diagnosed with leukaemia. With his wife now living near the hospital, Tariq has no option but to take his autistic teenage son, Nathan, to work with him at the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) under a government scheme. His fractured relationship with Nathan takes on a new course when he discovers anomalies in the fraud investigation his father is involved in, exposing a deep web of corruption within the SFO. With $1 billion missing, Tariq becomes a prime suspect, leading to the fight of his life to clear his name. Meanwhile, ruthless men will stop at nothing to unlock Tariq’s repressed childhood memories, believing he holds the key to finding the witness of the genocide of men and boys in the Bosnian war – the man with the eagle tattoo. As the stakes rise, Tariq is pushed to the limit. He must face the burning question - what is his true identity?

Peter J Carroll developed the Theories and Practices of Chaos Magic which caused a revolution in magical and esoteric thinking in the last few decades of the twentieth century, and they continue to heavily influence it in the twenty first century.As the first in a new tradition of Sorcerer-Scientists, Carroll developed a paradigm in which Magic lies far closer to Science than to Religion. He formed a worldwide magical order to promote and develop the new insights into magic and then largely disappeared from public view to procreate and to build a business empire and continue scientific and metaphysical research in private.This book of interviews reveals the extraordinary life and adventures and thoughts of one of the world's most exceptional antinomian thinkers. It contains much that may intrigue, surprise, amaze, and outrage the reader on a very wide range of topics.The appendix contains Carroll's Hypersphere Cosmology thesis which presents a radical alternative to the big-bang theory, and which has, so far, resisted all attempts to falsify it.

" This really is a pantheon for the present day: up-to-date technowizardartwork, a commentary which soars over millennia of tradition, picking outwhat is useful and relevant at the present, and icons which sum up whatdeities from the whole span of Western and not-so-Western culture havecumulatively come to mean. This is a book to which goddesses and gods, historically so sensitive about their images, should be happy to belong."Professor Ronald Hutton - Fellow of the British Academy" Not content to release a new grimoire, the Chancellor of Arcanorium College has produced three. Oh, also, one of them is a Necronomicon.Elemental, Planetary, and Lovecraftian grimoires are joined by an accompanying tome of digitally and painstakingly rendered icons. The Portals of Chaos, and its Chaobala systemisation, marks a particularly cohesive collection of Carroll's work. But it also contains much exciting new material. Exploration of bi-planetary sorcery - a central component of Renaissance magic somewhat absent in modern occult discourse - is a particularly important feature.Epoch is a useful resource both for those just starting out and for experienced magicians. There is something here to excite and challengeoccultists of many different dispositions and practices. " Alexander Cummins - Author of 'The Starry Rubric'"The enormous scope of the theory expounded within, coupled with the extraordinary pictures (which are better than anything of this ilk since Freida got down with her paintbrushes), provoke many thoughts as well as providing a neat summary of some complex ideas. Simultaneously a history and a prediction, it casts a spell covering spacetime and beyond, allowing your magick to have results." Nikki Wyrd -Author of 'The Book of Baphomet'Pulled together, it is a fantastic cohesion of ideas in need of cohering, doubly so because the cohesion makes no claims to antiquity and doesn't have to fit with either Neoplatonic emanations or Sanskrit body centres. Getting your head around the Chaobala is getting your head around a substantially updated magical cosmology. If that kind of thing is your jam, this kind of book is your toast. Gordon White - RunesoupWithout a doubt, the Epoch will have a great influence on the chaos magick paradigm and modern magick in general for years to come. I think every magician, even if they have their own correspondences, should examine the Chaobola system for its elegance and breadth. James Wilber - Scroll of Thoth
