Eden's Empire by James Graham is an uncompromising political thriller exploring the events of the Suez Crisis and the tragic story of its flawed hero Churchill's golden boy and heir apparent Anthony Eden. Alaska by D. C. Moore features Frank an ordinary bloke who likes smoking history and playing House of the Dead 3. He can put up with his job on a cinema kiosk until a new supervisor arrives who is younger than him. And Asian. A Day at the Racists by Anders Lustgarten is a timely examination of the rise of the BNP which attempts to understand why people might be drawn to the BNP and diagnoses the deeper cause of that attraction. Shades by Alia Bano shows Sabrina a single girl - about - town who is seeking Mr Right in a world where traditional and liberal values sit side - by - side but rarely see eye - to - eye. The Westbridge by Rachel De - lahay begins with the accusation of a black teenager which sparks riots on South London streets. Among it all a couple from very different backgrounds navigate the minefield between them and their disparate but coexisting neighbourhood.
