The Second Tom Holt Omnibus Two hilarious comic fantasies in one volume! Again! My Hero
Writing novels? Piece of cake, surely ... or so Jane thinks. Until hers start writing back. At which point, she really should stop. The one thing she should not do is go into the book herself. After all, that’s what heroes are for. Unfortunately, the world of fiction is a far more complicated place than she ever imagined. And she’s about to land her hero right in it. Who’s Afraid of Beowulf?
Well, not Hrolf Earthstar, for a start. The last Norse king of Caithness, Hrolf and his twelve champions are woken from centuries-long sleep when archaeologist Hildy Frederiksen finds their grave mound. Not only that, Hrolf decides to carry on his ancient war against the powers of darkness. Starting with the Bakerloo Line. ‘A cracking and inventive wit and the best smiles since Douglas Adams’ SFX

Nothing But Blue Skies There are very many reasons why British summers are either non-existent or, alternatively, held on a Thursday. Many of these reasons are either scientific, mad, or both - but all of them are wrong, especially the scientific ones.
The real reason why it rains perpetually from January 1st to December 31st (incl.) is, of course, irritable Chinese Water Dragons.
Karen is one such legendary creature. Ancient, noble, near-indestructible and, for a number of wildly improbable reasons, working as an estate-agent, Karen is irritable quite a lot of the time.
Hence Wimbledon.
She becomes positively incensed, however, when she discovers that her father, the Adjutant General to the Dragon King of the North-West, has been kidnapped by a mob of livid weathermen. An increasingly angry Karen heads out on a quest, or, at least, a hobby, to rescue her father from their evil clutches.
And some people start building Arks... 'Dazzling' Time Out

Valhalla As everyone knows, when great warriors die their reward is eternal life in Odin’s bijou little residence known as Valhalla.
But Valhalla has changed. It has grown. It has diversified. Just like any corporation, the Valhalla Group has had to adapt to survive.
Unfortunately, not even an omniscient Norse god could have prepared Valhalla for the arrival of Carol Kortright, one-time cocktail waitress, last seen dead, and not at all happy.
Valhalla is the sparkling new comic fantasy from a writer who can turn misery
into joy, darkness into light, and water into a very pleasant lime cordial.
