The Republic is crumbling. The enemy is rising. And the truth is far worse than either. The Senate is in chaos. The Republic Navy is in open revolt. Espers-once a nightmare of the Old Empire-now walk freely, controlling humans like pawns. And while humanity tears itself apart, the Ezeroc advance. A mysterious signal pulses from beyond charted space-a signal not of Ezeroc origin. With no one left to trust, Nathan Chevell and Grace Gushiken take the Tyche into the unknown, chasing the only hope humanity has left. What they find is worse than they imagined. A derelict station. Remnants of horrors best forgotten. And a path that leads straight to the heart of Ezeroc territory. Tyche has always flown on luck, but this time it may not be enough. The war can't be won alone-but the cost of alliance may be more than Grace and Nate can pay. And if they fail, humanity will shatter before the Ezeroc swarm consumes it whole. Tyche's Crown is the third book in Richard Parry's explosive Ezeroc Wars series. If you love gritty, high-stakes space opera with razor-sharp dialogue and breakneck action, grab your copy today

The enemy isn't coming. They're already here. After barely escaping Absalom Delta, Grace Gushiken and Nathan Chevell have a mission: warn humanity. The insect-like Ezeroc are real. And they've already infiltrated Earth. The crew of the free trader Tyche is being hunted. Men in black-fearsome fighters with inhuman abilities-will do anything to silence them. When Tyche lands, the ship is locked down, her crew scattered and on the run. Without their ship or each other, there's no escape. The Republic is compromised. The Ezeroc's influence runs deep. And time is running out. Hope arrives from an unlikely source: the abhorrent espers of the Old Empire, humanity's outcasts and monsters. Their offer is simple: join us, or die. Five souls. A battered heavy lifter. The last chance to stop an enemy already entrenched in humanity's homeworld. If Grace and Nate fail, there won't be a war. There will only be a harvest. Tyche's Deceit is the second book in Richard Parry's gripping Ezeroc Wars series. If you love page-turning space opera with sharp dialogue, heart-pounding action, and the fight for humanity's future, grab your copy today

A colony has fallen. The Republic is next. Nathan Chevell captains the free trader Tyche, an ex-military heavy lifter now flying under merchant colors. He's no pirate, but he's no white knight either. There's no business in helping strays. Grace Gushiken is a liar, a thief, and an esper-one of the Republic's most wanted. But when she stows away aboard Tyche, Nate finds himself dragged into something far worse than a smuggling job. The doomed colony of Absalom Delta is deserted. The insect-like Ezeroc didn't come to talk. They came to consume. The Republic Navy tried to stop them and got torn apart. Now, Tyche is caught in the crossfire. Outgunned, outnumbered, and light-years from help, Nate and Grace have two choices: run, or fight a war they can't win. Because the Ezeroc don't stop. They don't reason. They don't fear. They just feed. And if Nate and Grace can't stop them here, there won't be a next time. Tyche's Flight is the first book in Richard Parry's explosive Ezeroc Wars series. If you love high-stakes space opera with sharp dialogue, heart-pounding action, and a war that could end humanity, read it today

This book explores the governance of the UK, and the process of constitutional change, between Scotland’s independence referendum in September 2014 and the UK general election in May 2015. The book contrasts the attitudes of the public, captured through an original survey, with those of politicians, civil servants, and civic leaders, identified through over forty interviews. It pays particular attention to two case studies involving recent changes to the UK’s governing arrangements: the Smith Commission and the transfer of further powers to the Scottish Parliament, and Greater Manchester’s devolution deal that has become a model for devolution across England. It also considers the issue of lowering the voting age to 16, contrasting the political attitudes of younger voters in Scotland with those in the rest of the UK. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of UK politics, devolution, constitutional change, public attitudes, and territorial politics.

Can mortals stand against the powers of the heavens? Vampires have hunted werewolves almost to extinction. Val and Danny, the last of their werewolf kind, aim to strike back at the heart of their ancient foe. They have tracked the vampire leaders to the City That Never Sleeps. Kaylan Gleicher is Death, and with her brother Pestilence, they lead the vampires. They are Riders of the Apocalypse, and have created the vampires to drain the life from the world. The Night's Champions are nothing compared with the forces of creation. Even Adalia's gifts can't stand against those made to end all things. Hope seems futile until the Pack gains an unlikely ally in a fallen vampire. Will Val and Danny be able to put trust in those who have always been the werewolves' enemies to save the world from Judgement? Night's End is the gripping conclusion to Richard Parry's Night's Champion trilogy.

Valentine Everard is a nice guy with a drinking problem and nothing to lose. That was yesterday. Today, he wakes up with a splitting headache, a blank space where last night should be, and a kill squad kicking down his door. Biomne, a ruthless megacorp, wants him gone-no questions, no witnesses. If that wasn't bad enough, a murderous Russian psychopath is also on his trail, and he's not the type to leave loose ends. Something inside Val has changed. He's faster. Stronger. His wounds heal before his eyes. But power like this comes with a price-and the more he uses it, the harder it is to hold onto himself. It's not a gift. It's not a curse. It's something worse. To survive, Val must master the monster inside him before it consumes him completely. If he fails, he won't just lose his life-he'll lose himself. And when that happens, everyone he cares about dies with him.

Would you let a stranger take your curse even if it would damn the world? In the five years since their Pack left the ruins of a Biomne facility, Adalia Kendrick has discovered gifts of her own. While her mother Danny tries to run from the curse of the Night's Favor, Adalia speaks to those only she can see. She speaks to the dead. Stories of the Night's dark gift have reached across the seas to Talin Moray, a man who will stop at nothing to possess its power. With his mastery of Vodou he brings the city of Chicago to its knees. Armies fall. Zombies roam the streets, and no one is safe. Talin will become the king of a ruined world. Five years is a long time to run, trying to turn the curse of the Night's Favor into a blessing. Will Val and Danny's yearning to be free from the Night's Favor mean losing everything? Is Adalia's power - and the dead boy that walks with her - enough to stand against Talin? Night's Fall is the second book in Richard Parry's gripping Night's Champion trilogy. If you like page-turning supernatural thrillers with great dialogue and heart-pumping action, then you'll love this Sir Julius Vogel Award finalist novel.
