TWO BROTHERS

The First Casualty

The international bestseller that inspired the movie Maybe Baby.Birds do it. Bees do it. Why can't Sam and Lucy?When Lucy first suggested they make a baby, Sam was gung ho --after all, sleeping with his wife is one of Sam's favorite things to do. Then out came the thermometers, followed by the holistic home remedies -- not to mention some humiliating bouts with specimen jars. Soon Lucy's demands are driving Sam out of his mind. That is, until Sam conceives a plan of his own: He'll write a screenplay based on his and Lucy's poignant (and often uproarious) efforts to conceive a child. It could be a big hit. It might even make Sam's career. Or cost him his marriage . . .From the award-winning author of Popcorn and Blast from the Past comes this hilarious and heartbreaking new novel --a provocative two-sided look at one couple's inconceivable dilemma. From sperm that swim backward to aromatherapy run amok, procreation for Lucy and Sam has turned into a grisly little war. But if Lucy feels barren as the Sahara, and Sam thinks his gay friends will be fathers before he is, they're about to have yet another problem on their hands: saving the love that once was everything they had. . . .

Maybe Baby

With old friends like these, who needs enemies? It's a question detective Edward Newson is forced to ask himself having in romantic desperation logged on to the Friends Reunited website searching for girlfriends from his past. Meanwhile, back in the present, Newson is secretly in love with Natasha, his lovely but very attached sergeant, and completely failing to solve a series of baffling and gruesome murders. When a school reunion is planned, history begins to repeat itself and the past crashes headlong into the present. In Past Mortem, Ben Elton delivers both a heart-stopping thriller and a killer comic romance.

Amitiés Mortelles

Chart Throb.The ultimate pop quest. 



Ninety five thousand hopefuls. Three judges. Just one winner. 

And that's Calvin Simms, the genius behind the show. 



Calvin always wins because Calvin writes the rules. But this year, as he sits smugly in judgement upon the mingers, clingers and blingers whom he has pre-selected in his carefully scripted 'search' for a star, he has no idea that the rules are changing. The 'real' is about to be put back into 'reality' television and Calvin and his fellow judges (the nation's favourite mum and the other bloke) are about to become ex-factors themselves.



Ben Elton, author of Popcorn and Dead Famous returns to blistering comic satire with a savagely hilarious deconstruction of the world of modern television talent shows.



Chart Throb. One winner. A whole bunch of losers.

Chart Throb

Stark is a secret consortium with more money than God, and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, it knows the Earth is dying.

Deep in Western Australia where the Aboriginals used to milk the trees, a planet-sized plot is taking shape. Some green freaks pick up the scent: a pommie poseur; a brain-fried Vietnam vet; Aboriginals who have lost their land...not much against a conspiracy that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society: it just lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches.


If you're facing the richest and most disgusting scheme in history, you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say 'peace'.

Piégé dans sa villa de Beverly Hills, il découvre que ces fans d'un genre très spécial ont imaginé un scénario dont il sera, sous peu, la victime...
