Excerpt from The Lure of the Map, Vol. 2 Recollections that at the height of the Land League troubles in Ireland the anxious politicians at Dublin Castle found time to unbend over literature, and that a stock topic of the literary journalists engaged their august attention. On the old question, writes Lord Morley, what author one would take to a desert island, Asquith was for Balzac; of course Shakespeare and the Bible were given in, though perhaps not most read. As a literary journalist myself I had had occasion to consider the question, and had come to the conclusion that I should myself choose an Atlas. It is wonderful what entertainment there is to be got out of an Atlas, with some experience of travel and a' little imagination. You can plan tours that are often as vivid as the real thing and more satisfactory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Lure of the Map, Vol. 2 It was pleasant to find from Lord Morley's Recollections that at the height of the Land League troubles in Ireland the anxious politicians at Dublin Castle found time to unbend over literature, and that a stock topic of the literary journalists engaged their august attention. "On the old question," writes Lord Morley, "what author one would take to a desert island, Asquith was for Balzac; of course Shakespeare and the Bible were given in, though perhaps not most read."

It is wonderful what entertainment there is to be got out of an Atlas, with some experience of travel and a little imagination. You can plan tours that are often as vivid as the real thing and more satisfactory. With a large-scale map and a smattering of geology you can actually picture the scenery.

The world's elite use the ocean planet of Lure as a luxury vacation hub for a decade. But when climate change threatens Earth's long-term habitability, many of those who can afford it move to Lure for good. When the opportunity to work there for a year is offered to visual artist Jo Sparta, as part of a group of artists collaborating on a large-scale installation of public art, it seems like the chance of a lifetime. But then, Jo stumbles across a nefarious plot by her corporate benefactors and feels compelled to go public. Lure showcases Milburn's rich visual imagination, with the planet Lure itself an ever-seductive, otherworldly paradise against which he spotlights themes of climate change, the disparity of wealth, and the value of art -- all in the service of a grippingly moral thriller.
