Bingo Grabbins is a soddit who enjoys a comfortable life (apart from his feet, of course). But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandef, and a company of bizarrely Welsh dwarves drag him away on an adventure. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard (or so they say) guarded by Smug, a large and very tedious dragon. Bingo is reluctant to take part in this insane venture, but a dwarven dagger held to his throat soon surprises even himself and off the companions go on a quest that seems truly epic (well, until you read about what later happened to Bingo's cousin, at any rate). Oh, and Bingo finds this ring thing. . .
All you need to know about losing weight - and NOT finding it again! Did you know that desperate dieters once swallowed tape worms to ensure they lost weight? Did you know that the first diet book came out in 1558, or that Victorian diet pills and potions often contained deadly arsenic and strychnine as they were supposed to speed up the metabolism and burn fat faster? Nowadays we are just as whacky when it comes to dieting, as some people believe that eating baby food or even stapling your ears will help you lose weight. As well as all sorts of statistics and fascinating facts about how we try to lose weight and keep it off, The Naked Truth about Dieting also lists, explains, compares and 'road tests' dozens of famous and little-known diets from around the world. At the end of an absorbing voyage, the book comes to a conclusion about dieting which may shock many readers who have tried everything to get slimmer... Now he's been and gone and done it! After half a century or so, George East has finally got to grips with an issue which has bemused, infuriated and fascinated men since Adam and Eve had their first falling-out. Why do women think and act as they do? In the latest in the Naked Truth series, THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN treads in dangerous territory as the author tries to answer eternal questions like:
Since the mid 1990s, when the general public began using the Internet, governments and commerce have made vast investments in digital communications technology. There has been confusion and sometimes controversy over these, for example the proposed UK identity card system. The far-reaching commercial and social implications of decisions made in invisible or opaque specialist fields should concern every citizen. This book argues that decisions should be based on an understanding of the systems, technology and environment within which they operate; that experts and ordinary people should work together; and that technology and law are evolving in restrictive rather than enabling ways.
Orbit is ending the summer with an explosion of new and exciting titles, sure to start your fall off right. Debut author Kate Locke draws the reader into a world of steampunk, vampires, goblins, and werewolves with God Save the Queen. Continuing the Victorian steampunk theme, The Iron Wyrm Affair by Lilith Saintcrow explores sorcery and logic, starring a forensic sorceress, a detective, and a conspiracy that will shake the Empire. Two young orphans must find their own fortunes and magic in House of Shadows, the beginning of a new fantasy series by Rachel Neumeier. Sharps, the new fantasy thriller by K.J. Parker, shows dueling can be just as dangerous as war and twice as duplicitous. Jessica McClain is the only female werewolf ever to exist and now must survive against all odds in Amanda Carlson's debut novel, Full Blooded. Also, new to Orbit but no stranger to the science fiction and fantasy world, Michael Cobley brings Seeds of Earth, an epic space opera about an Earth colony in the middle of an intergalactic battle. Finally, Orbit is proud to announce The Soddit, a parody of The Hobbit where Bingo Grabbins must go on an adventure and steal a treasure guarded by Smug the dragon.
THE SELLAMILLION is NOT a parody of Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION. That would be pointless because although all Tolkien fans have a copy, only three of them have read past page 40. It is, however, a parody of all that Tolkien created as he worked on LORD OF THE RINGS. The history of the elderly days. Early missing drafts of LORD OF THE RINGS. A correspondence between the author and publisher on whether it should be a Bellybutton Stud of Doom rather than a Ring of Power. An experimental version of LOTR as if written by Dr Seuss. That sort of thing. It'll be funny. Possibly hilarious. The author's told us it will be. Promised even. And he did write THE SODDIT. And that was quite funny.
