Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The police force is one of the most distrusted institutions in Pakistan, notorious for its corruption and brutality. In both colonial and postcolonial contexts, directives to confront security threats have empowered law enforcement agents, while the lack of adequate reform has upheld institutional weaknesses. This exploration of policing in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and financial capital, reveals many colonial continuities. Both civilian and military regimes continue to ensure the suppression of the policed via this institution, itself established to militarily subjugate and exploit in the interests of the ruling class. However, contemporary policing practice is not a simple product of its colonial heritage: it has also evolved to confront new challenges and political realities. Based on extensive fieldwork and almost 150 interviews, this ethnographic study reveals a distinctly "postcolonial condition of policing." Mutually reinforcing phenomena of militarisation and informality have been exacerbated by an insecure state that routinely conflates combatting crime, maintaining public order and ensuring national security. This is evident not only in spectacular displays of violence and malpractice, but also in police officers' routine work. Caught in the middle of the country's armed conflicts, their encounters with both state and society are a story of insecurity and uncertainty.

Book excerpt: Pull out your cell phone and look closely. You cant see it, but its there: a tiny sprite known as a net elf, generated by the man-made magic of the Internet, whose fate is irretrievably tied to your ownor, at least, your phones. So eighteen-year old Max discovers when a stupid bet leads to a horrific car crash, leaving him in a coma. His body remains on Earth, but his soul is taken to the mysterious realm of Networld. In Networld, wooden ships soar through the air on high-tech anti-gravity thrusters. Round-eared elves are never born and never die, yet only live for three years. Baby dragons are as cute as kittens but as intelligent as people. The mysterious hooded katari, who never show their faces, forbid Max to speak of his human origins. Yet this fascinating dimension is also a doomed one. The net elves tenuous existence is threatened by a mysterious pirate invasion from the North, and hordes of monsters arising from the depths of the Networld. Whole elven settlements have been wiped off the map; others are stranded with few defenders and supplies. Soon, even the capital will fall. Max is certain hes been sent to save Networld. Problem is, he has no idea how. He cant wield a sword, fly a ship, fire a cannon, battle dragons, or do any of the other tasks his new friends take for granted. He can barely string two words together in front of Leneyla, his attractive tutor. But Max must learn fast before its too late, or the net elves will vanish, and their entire world will fall into darkness.

Book excerpt: This is a detective story set in 1980s Shrewsbury and Toronto. A social worker, Philip Eyre, searches for the father of a baby girl and finds himself obsessed by the girl’s mother who ends up in psychiatric hospital after trying to commit suicide. While investigating the case, Philip comes to question his own life – his own fathering and father.The case apparently solved, Philip takes a job in Toronto as a researcher but becomes haunted by his own past. He returns to England, and a new obsession with the case gathers pace. Is the baby related to him? Are they connected by some strange literary provenance – Charlotte Bronte’s novel, Jane Eyre? By now he is randomly switching from one possibility, one bizarre plot about orphans and illegitimacy, to the next. He suffers a breakdown; the pursuit of an answer has turned back in on him; now he is the one who feels pursued. The Book of Guardians is a haunting novel that leaves readers wondering whether it is possible to recall and know your own past with any degree of certainty.
