DescriptionThe TARDIS narrowly avoids becoming engulfed in a web-like substance in space. It then arrives in the London Underground railway system, the tunnels of which are being overrun by the web and by the Great Intelligence's robot Yeti.

DescriptionThe year is 1989. Severin Boxx is the son of an Air Force pilot and lives on an Air Force base in Japan. He's a muscular, earnest 17-year-old who plays on the base's football team. Severin loves, from afar, Virginia Kindwall, the daughter of the general who runs the base. Virginia, whose Japanese mother died in childbirth while her father served in Vietnam, is tough and sophisticated beyond her years. She has fallen in with the Japanese underground, and her dealings result in her disappearance and Severin's forced return to the United States. Years later, Severin and Virginia remain lost to each other - until an emotionally frayed, 30-something Severin embarks on a quest to find Virginia, and reclaim the part of himself taken from him when his boyhood abruptly ended.

DescriptionNobel Prize-winner V. S. Naipaul, one of the world's most acclaimed authors, effortlessly tackles provocative ideas that lesser novelists shy away from and always leaves his audience with something to think about. Willie Chandran feels as though the life he lives is not his own. When he moves to Berlin, his listlessness washes away in a flood of encouragement from his radically political sister. Inspired, he joins an underground liberation movement in India in an attempt to break the chains shackling the lower castes. But after years of revolution and incarceration, he grows disillusioned and returns to England, still hoping to find his true self. A powerful tale of the search for identity, Magic Seeds emphatically reminds us why Naipaul is an icon of modern literature.
