REVIEWS 'After five minutes of reading... you'll be too busy wetting your pants with laughter... Rankin's style is unique and very unlike his current contemporaries... if you're in the mood for a book that will deliver on the laughs (and proper belly laughs, mind you) whilst still being literate as any 'serious' fiction out there, the 'The Witches of Chiswick' is for you.'SF CROWSNEST TOUR/EVENTS Robert's tour will now be supported by Waterstones who will be producing their own POS and adverts.

Rese�a del editor:

We have all been lied to. A great and sinister conspiracy exists to keep us from uncovering the truth about our past.
Have you ever wondered how Victorians like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells dreamed up all that fantastic futuristic fiction? Did it ever occur to you that it might just have been based upon fact? That War Of The Worlds was a true account of real events? That Captain Nemo�s Nautilus even now lies rusting at the bottom of the North Sea? That there really was an invisible man?
And what about the other stuff? Did you know that Queen Victoria had a sexual relationship with Dr Watson, partner of the real-life detective Sherlock Holmes? Or that the elephant man was a product of an E.T./human hybridisation programme? Or that Jack the Ripper was a terminator robot sent from the future?
Read on: and learn how a cabal of Victorian Witches from the Chiswick Townswomen�s Guild, working with advanced Babbage super-computers, rewrote 19th Century history, and how a 21st Century boy called Will Starling uncovered the truth about everything.
