Raven changed direction, flying us towards the town. The helicopter followed suit, tracking us from around a hundred feet away. Wind from the whirling rotor blades blew my hair around my face. I flinched as a voice blared through loudspeakers. ‘Enemy combatant, land now!’ The dragon reared into a hover. ‘I’m not your enemy! And I recommend you don’t make me into one!’ The time I’ve spent away from Lloegyr has given me time to make some important decisions, but now I have to face the consequences. Marrying Raven has certainly complicated my relationship with the Church and ...

A simple night on the town with Angie Mandarich is all Hal Bailey wants. Dinner and a movie. Hitchcock followed by the Forest City. A classy night with a classy lady.

In 1978 America is still licking its wounds from the Vietnam War, an impeached president and skyrocketing oil prices. The people of the country are suspicious, questioning their government at every turn, and it’s an environment allowing conspiracy theories to flourish. It shouldn’t be a surprise one of these theories parallels a long-standing enigma we typically laugh at when we see it – and we see it all too often. Specifically, we look in wonder at the people who not only have a complete ineptitude when using power tools, but we also fear for their lives when they do so. Ironically,...

Filius Thoreau, arch-benefit fraudster and jaunty raconteur, celebrates the silver anniversary of his induction into the world of the workshy with his candid, but not too candid, autobiography in which he celebrates the unique and sinuous path he has steered through the minefield of work-obsessed modern Britain. From the dark days of the Poll Tax through the laissez-faire nineties to the ghastly government work schemes of the new millennium, Filius has marched onwards to the sound of his own personal drummer and constructed a uniquely apologist philosophy along the way.

‘Are you saying,’ Commander Hubbert demanded, ‘that a pack of dinosaurs have our vessel?’ I shrugged. ‘That seems to be the best explanation. The nessies have the submarine.’ Heartbreak.
