Elton Ben Blind Faith
A dark, savagely comic novel from the bestselling author of Chart Throb. Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where 'sharing' is valued above all, and privacy is considered a dangerous perversion. Trafford wouldn't call himself a rebel, but he's daring to be different, to stand out from the crowd. In his own small ways, he wants to push against the system. But in this world, uniformity is everything. And even tiny defiances won't go unnoticed. Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a sex-obsessed, utterly egocentric culture. In this world, nakedness is modesty, independent thought subversive, and ignorance is wisdom. A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to home?

Blind Faith - ремастированное переиздание единственного, одноименного, студийного альбома на 180-граммовом виниле британской рок-группы Blind Faith, первоначально выпущенного в 1969 году. В 2001 году альбом был выпущен в виде специального двухдискового издания, включавшего, кроме оригинального содержания 1969 года, альтернативные исполнения и демо-версии, а также некоторые концертные и неизвестные композиции. Blind Faith - британская рок-группа, образованная в 1968 году в графстве Суррей, Англия, в состав её вошли Эрик Клэптон, Джинджер Бэйкер и Стив Уинвуд, позже - Рик Греч. Blind Faith, одна из первых супергрупп в истории рок-музыки, в стилистическом плане мало чем отличалась от составов, в которых до этого играли трое из четырех участников: Traffic и Cream Великобритании. Рок-критик Брюс Эдер назвал группу одновременно - и кульминацией развития рок-музыки конца 1960-х годов, и величайшей катастрофой, символизировавшей все изъяны музыкального бизнеса того времени. Супергруппа, возбудившая невероятный ажиотаж (и послужившая в конечном итоге причиной слияния двух записывающих компаний в третью, Warner Bros.), явно преждевременно вышла в американское турне: отсутствие сыгранности чрезвычайно раздражало Клэптона, известного своим перфекционизмом. Потрясенные чрезмерностью внимания к себе и, вместе с тем, неудовлетворенные собой и репертуаром, музыканты решили не выпускать второй альбом, по завершении американских гастролей группа распалась.

Elton Ben Gridlock
Gridlock is when a city dies. Killed in the name of freedom. Killed in the name of oil and steel. Choked on carbon monoxide and strangled with a pair of fluffy dice. How did it come to this? How did the ultimate freedom machine end up paralysing us all? How did we end up driving to our own funeral, in somebody else's gravy train? Deborah and Geoffrey know, but they have transport problems of their own, and anyway, whoever it was that murdered the city can just as easily murder them.

Elton Ben Stark
Ben Elton's earth-shattering debut novel. Stark is a secret consortium with more money than God, and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, it knows the Earth is dying. Deep in Western Australia where the Aboriginals used to milk the trees, a planet-sized plot is taking shape. Some green freaks pick up the scent: a pommie poseur; a brain-fried Vietnam vet; Aboriginals who have lost their land...not much against a conspiracy that controls society. But EcoAction isn't in society: it just lives in the same place, along with the cockroaches. If you're facing the richest and most disgusting scheme in history, you have to do more than stick up two fingers and say 'peace'.

Elton Ben The First Casualty
Flanders, June 1917: a British officer and celebrated poet, is shot dead, killed not by German fire, but while recuperating from shell shock well behind the lines. A young English soldier is arrested and, although he protests his innocence, charged with his murder. Douglas Kingsley is a conscientious objector, previously a detective with the London police, now imprisoned for his beliefs. He is released and sent to France in order to secure a conviction. Forced to conduct his investigations amidst the hell of The Third Battle of Ypres, Kingsley soon discovers that both the evidence and the witnesses he needs are quite literally disappearing into the mud that surrounds him. Ben Elton's tenth novel is a gut-wrenching historical drama which explores some fundamental questions. What is murder? What is justice in the face of unimaginable daily slaughter? And where is the honour in saving a man from the gallows if he is only to be returned to die in a suicidal battle? As the gap between legally-sanctioned and illegal murder becomes evermore blurred, Kingsley quickly learns that the first casualty when war comes is truth.

Elton Ben This Other Eden
Small, well appointed future. Semi detached. If the end of the world is nigh, then surely it's only sensible to make alternative arrangements. Certainly the Earth has its points, but what most people need is something smaller and more manageable. Of course there are those who say that's planetary treason, but who cares what the weirdos and terrorists think? Not Nathan. All he cares is that his movie gets made and that there's somebody left to see it. In marketing terms the end of the world will be very big. Anyone trying to save it should remember that.
