A thrilling, innovative novel about the interplay between nature and humankind by the author of Names on the Land. With Storm, first published in 1941, George R. Stewart invented a new genre of fiction: the eco-novel. California has been plunged into drought throughout the summer and fall when a ship reports an unusual barometric reading from the far western Pacific. In San Francisco, a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots “an incipient little whorl” on the weather map, a developing storm, he suspects, that he privately dubs Maria. Stewart’s novel tracks Maria’s progress to and beyond the shores of the United States through the eyes of meteorologists, linemen, snowplow operators, a general, a couple of decamping lovebirds, and an unlucky owl, and the storm, surging and ebbing, will bring long-needed rain, flooded roads, deep snows, accidents, and death. Storm is an epic account of humanity’s relationship to and dependence on the natural world.

War makes heroes of men, but at what price? Sure to enthral fans of Masters of the Air and Fall of Giants, A Time for Heroes is a magnificent, sweeping, three-generation historical epic encompassing both World Wars, about heroism, the romance of aviation and the conflict between fathers and sons. As the twentieth century dawns, Guv Sutro, against his father's will, becomes a pioneer of aviation, a fighter ace on the Western Front during the Great War and a record-breaker between the wars. From his first flight in a primitive glider over the fields of Sussex, helped by the dogged loyalty of his friend Stan Kemp, he charts his ruthless course to fame and adulation. But with the outbreak of World War Two 'the best of Old England' begins to crumble. Guv's son Tim is fighting a more covert war, desperate to shed the burden of his father's reputation, while Tim's childhood companion Will Kemp, the son Guv felt he deserved, is fighting heroically, against overwhelming odds, as a Spitfire pilot. The fates of the men are bound together in the monumental ambitions and terrible tragedies of an age of heroes. What readers are saying about A Time for Heroes 'A beautifully told epic of human love and error. A truly great read' 'Highly entertaining, with great action scenes and moments of gut-wrenching excitement. A very human novel, about people and strife, and survival in extreme circumstances that have universal resonances' '[Frank Barnard] is without doubt the Wilbur Smith of the skies'

In a future time, Titus Quinn is an amnesiac who believes his wife and daughter were taken from him when he and his family wandered into another universe. No one believes him until proof arrives of the existence of a place called the Entire. Titus volunteers to scout out the new realm, but only to retrieve his family. When he arrives in the Entire he discovers that time passes differently there, and he has a very long history of interactions with the rulers and beings of the place. He was a prisoner for many years, separated from his wife and daughter, and at last escaped. He now learns his wife is dead, his daughter blinded and sent as a hostage to another country within that world. This first book in the series details his daring entrance into the capital city in search of information about his daughter, the allies he gathers on his way, including a young native woman who will become an advocate for him, Ji Anzi. Titus learns where his daughter is a prisoner but he is tracked down by his Entire enemies and must flee back to earth before he finds her. He has escaped with his life once again, but in his shame for never saving his family, he vows to return, whatever the cost.
