Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts traditionally make their presence felt in many ways, from unexplained footfalls and chills to odours and apparitions. This fascinating volume takes a look at some of the strange and unexplained hauntings across the length and breadth of Britain’s railway network: signals and messages sent from empty boxes; trains that went into tunnels and never left; ghostly passengers and spectral crew; the wires whizzing to signal the arrival of trains on lines that have been closed for years... Based on hundreds of first-person and historical accounts, Shadows in the Steam is a unique collection of mysterious happenings, inexplicable events and spine-chilling tales, all related to the railways. Compiled by David Brandon and Alan Brooke, acknowledged experts on railways and the supernatural, and including sections on the London Underground and railway ghosts in literature and film, this book will delight lovers of railways and spooky stories alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delving deep into Titanic's legacy, Allen Gibson presents a comprehensive history with a refreshing argument, that Titanic represented a considerable achievement in maritime architecture. He determines the true causes of the disaster, telling the story of the 'unsinkable' ship against a backdrop of a tumultuous and rapidly emerging technological world. The book exposes the true interests of the people involved in the operation, regulation and investigation into Titanic, and lays bare the technology so dramatically destroyed. Juxtaposing the duelling worlds of economics and safety, this study rationalises the mindset that wilfully dispatched the world's largest ship out to sea with a deficient supply of lifeboats.

Book excerpt: In the gritty, divided city of New Aurora, Ula Ikem leads a rebel faction seeking justice against the tyrannical upper-class Steamers who rule with an iron fist. When Ula uncovers a vast conspiracy around hoarded resources, she infiltrates facilities, gathers forbidden intel, and builds an unlikely crew of informants to help expose the government’s lies. Facing off against ruthless leaders like Tribune Jamuike, who wield experimental weapons and limitless authority, Ula resorts to bold heists and rallies public dissent through daring broadcasts. But machinations run deeper than she realized, and the risks for her and her allies soar ever higher in this kinetic fantasy of rebellion versus oppression. With New Aurora itself at a tipping point, Ula confronts the limits of loyalty and sacrifice central to her crusade. Unimaginable loss haunts her attempts to spark revolution while balancing diplomacy and driving out corruption. If she fails, generations will continue languishing under the Steam Council’s dominant rule. But exposing the shocking truth could cost Ula everything—or help transform their society forever through cooperation across bitter divides.

Book excerpt: It is 1949, and 'The Smoke' remains tarnished with shattered, abandoned buildings and bombsites. It’s the perfect backdrop for Jethro - honest Cockney cat burglar - to redistribute the wealth of the upper classes. The day after thieving jewels from a mansion, headlines scream that the very man Jethro robbed was found dead. It’s deemed a homicide when the jewels are discovered missing, and Jethro sets off on a search into London’s dark underworld to find out who is trying to frame him.
