      <g:title>News From Gardenia</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;News from Gardenia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Originally published by Unbound in 2012, &lt;em&gt;News from Gardenia&lt;/em&gt; offers a refreshing antidote to the endless torrent of post-apocalyptic doom and despair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Set 200 years in the future, this is not a story about collapse — it’s a story about recovery. The world isn’t perfect, but it is better. Society has changed. Priorities have shifted. And humanity, against the odds, has found a way to rebuild and rethink how it lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thoughtful, optimistic and quietly radical, &lt;em&gt;News from Gardenia&lt;/em&gt; imagines a future shaped not by fear, but by adaptation, resilience and hope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note:&lt;/strong&gt; These books are printed to order and have an estimated delivery time of up to two months. All copies will be sent signed unless otherwise stated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>The Man On Platform 5</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Man on Platform 5&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Robert’s first hit novel, originally published by Hodder &amp;amp; Stoughton in 1998, became an instant bestseller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The story follows two successful half-sisters who spot a badly dressed man standing alone on a railway platform. One dismisses him as a hopeless case; the other insists he has untapped potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;They strike a wager: if one sister can transform him into a confident, charming and desirable man within six months, she wins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;A playful inversion of &lt;em&gt;Pygmalion&lt;/em&gt; — better known as &lt;em&gt;My Fair Lady&lt;/em&gt; — this sharp, raunchy romantic comedy is packed with 1990s attitude, wit and wonderfully nerdy references.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note:&lt;/strong&gt; These books are printed to order and have an estimated delivery time of up to two months. All copies will be sent signed unless otherwise stated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>The Man In The Rubber Mask</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Man in the Rubber Mask&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you love &lt;em&gt;Red Dwarf&lt;/em&gt; and have ever wondered what really happens behind the cameras, this is the story you’ve been waiting for. Originally published by Penguin in 1994 and now fully updated, &lt;em&gt;The Man in the Rubber Mask&lt;/em&gt; follows Robert’s extraordinary journey with the iconic sci-fi comedy from 1988 right through to 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;From life inside the Kryten mask to the chaos, camaraderie and creativity that kept the show alive for decades, this is a candid, funny and revealing account from the heart of the engine room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Are you sure you want to step up to Red Alert, sir? It does mean changing the bulb.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Please note:&lt;/strong&gt; These books are printed to order and have an estimated delivery time of up to two months. All copies will be sent signed unless otherwise stated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>

      <g:title>The Ghost Camera </g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Ghost Camera&lt;/em&gt; is Robert&amp;#39;s most recent book. It follows the story of a man called Morris, who is approaching retirement after a long career as a laboratory janitor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;In his last job before retirement, he works in the laboratory of Chipperau Fusioneering, a company developing micro-energy generation systems. The systems fail spectacularly — in fact, they do the exact opposite of what they were designed to do — but this failure comes with very unexpected side effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Ghost Camera&lt;/em&gt; was originally due to be published by Unbound, a kind of Kickstarter for books. After the company’s untimely demise, and knowing that many supporters of the book were out of pocket, Robert took it upon himself to produce a few boxes of books and send them out to those wonderful supporters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the books are now available to anyone interested in reading about Chipperau Fusioneering, &lt;em&gt;The Ghost Camera&lt;/em&gt;, and a very clean and tidy laboratory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please note: All books are signed unless stated otherwise in your order.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</g:description>
