UK: Harpercollins Publishers, 1997. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 9.2 x 6 x 1.2 inches. h/b 249 pages, condition is very good. In Black Ajax, George MacDonald Fraser tells the story of a black man from the United States who nearly became England's champion boxer during the early 19th century. This historical novel is based on the true story of Tom Molineaux, a former slave who won his freedom in a boxing match, then traveled to England, refined his skills, and almost became the first black champ. The story is told by over a dozen witnesses to Molineaux's bouts with the reigning champion, Tom Cribb. Molineaux's trainer recalls the fighter's awe-inspiring strength and speed. A butler who asks to remain anonymous divulges information about the fighter's love affair with an English noblewoman. Molineaux's manager, a former slave and retired boxer, speaks bitterly of his disappointment in the youth for failing to prove to the English that a black man could be as…

Description:
Edinburgh, Scotland: The Scotsman Publications Ltd & GRF Sutherland, 1987. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 5" x 7.5. P/B 216 pages, condition is very good. When Jock Leith, formerly Royal Navy, was sent on a mission of investigation to Andorra in the Pyrenees, he was not long in learning that his presence was unpopular. A Scot, he took it quite personally when his taxi was hyjacked on leaving Barcelona Airport, and having taken avoiding action in the Spanish marshes, found himself in the category of wanted man. Of an independent mind, and something of a loner, he did not take kindly to such prompt attempt on his life. After all, the investigation was not concerned with dramatics or excitements, but all rather humdrum, the manufacture and distribution of an anti-viral drug called Proteron, even if the ingredients were somewhat scarce. It made an off-putting start but thereafter, to have an assistant tacked on to him, unwanted, and a woman at that, was too much, even though she was young,…

Description:
UK: Viking, 1988. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. This book brings together different work in the new field of physics called the chaos theory, an extension of classical mechanics, in which simple and complex causes are seen to interact. Mathematics may only be able to solve simple linear equations which experiment has pushed nature into obeying in a limited way, but now that computers can map the whole plane of solutions of non-linear equations a new vision of nature is revealed. The implications are staggeringly universal in all areas of scientific work and philosophical thought.

Description:
Bath, UK: Cedric Chivers, 1973. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. H/B 256 pages, condition is very good. this novel is obstensibly an account of the celebration of Christmas among the isolated group of white people at Mambango in East Africa, which includes only three women; the feast, an occasion for eating rather than worship, is to take place in a broiling climate, in heat and dust and dirt. To the African Christmas is meaningless, to the whites it means little enough. Christmas in Mambango is a failure. the petty frustrations of organising it help to blind the white people to the momentous event which it is brewing all round them and which represents a turning point in the history of the white man in Africa; when that event takes place they are bewildered to the point of helplessness, except for one or two braver spirits.

The Derumba are a four piece band from Dundee who are on the verge of being signed by a major record label. Their manager, Vince, has only one problem with the band, Felix, their roadie. Vince feels that Felix has too much influence over the band and is constantly leading them astray, which is detriment to his hard work in attempting to portray the bands image in a positive light. Due to a case of mistaken identity, Felix is accused of cheating on his girlfriend and Vince uses this opportunity to get back at Felix by encouraging the rumours. After the resultant break up, Felix goes on a downward spiral of a continuous drink and drugs binge. Meanwhile, the band secure a support slot for an up and coming tour with a major rock group. This helpfully gets them signed up and their debut single is recorded and pushed through for release. It enters the top ten which puts more pressure on Felix as he begins…

Moffat, Scotland: Lochar Publishing, 1989. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6" x 9.25. H/B 207 pages. Condition- very good. Lora Macrae is headstrong and beautiful and will have no truck with the English army of occupation in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden. An orphaned child, she frequently roams the countryside around her home in Glen Clova with only her deerhound 'Loyal' as companion. One day when wandering alone on the hills, the hound disappears into a wood and Lora begins to cry 'Loyal'. As the word resounds through the hills she repeats the call, over and over again, simply for the pleasure of hearing the echo. But unknown to Lora, a stranger hears her defiant call and with a measured and purposeful stride he makes his way into the wood. Her passion for the Jacobite cause is only matched by the torment within her as she is forced to reconcile her hate for the English and her seeming love for a young English officer whose job it is to hunt down the very men Lora is…

Having survived Borneo, Amazonia, and the Congo, the indefatigable Redmond O'Hanlon sets off on his next adventure: his own perfect storm, in the wild waters off the northern tip of Scotland. Equipped with a fancy Nikon, an excessive supply of socks, and no seamanship whatsoever, O'Hanlon joins the commercial fishing crew of the Norlantean, a deep-sea trawler, to stock a bottomless hull with their catch, even as a hurricane roars around them. Rich in oceanography, marine biology, and uproarious humor, Trawler is Redmond O'Hanlon at his finest.
