The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

David Ovason

Ovason takes a well-known image or turning point in each successive epoch of modern history and shows that our understanding of what lies behind it is completely wrong. Moreover he reverses the general assumption that these epochs, e. g. Renaissance, Age of Reason, Romantics, the Industrial Revolution, were essentially secularising, materialising movements, by revealing the spiritual impulses behind them. Topics include the astrology in medieval churches, what Joan of Arc did for England, the shadowy 'superior' who instrcued both John Dee and Francis Bacon, the evil infiltration of Masonic lodges that gave rise to the French Revolution and why Nazis showed the swastika spinning backwards.

The Defence

Jonathan Caplan

The most serious and sourced book ever published on the subject of UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), previously known as UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). Written by one of the UK’s most high-profile and well-respected barristers who has researched the issue for 50 years 
 
For five decades, Jonathan Caplan KC (King’s Counsel) has been pulling together an extraordinary body of evidence about the existence of UAPs, and what he believes to be the world’s greatest ever cover up. Public perception of the UAP issue changed radically in July 2023 when David Grusch – a former Air Force intelligence officer – went public to US Congress under oath on live television that the United States was in possession of crashed non-human craft. His evidence ignited huge interest around the world. Pressure is mounting for the full story to be told, and Not For Disclosure is a landmark book on a subject that the public can no longer ignore. 
 
In his quest for the full story, Caplan has travelled over the years to meet inside sources, including scientists, politicians, intelligence officers and ex special forces, in Washington, Israel and elsewhere. He has collated a vast amount of material from those in official positions who have trusted him and who have been prepared to talk confidentially about the subject. Over the last fifty years he has met and befriended most of the key individuals. His book is a detailed, up to date and in many ways shocking account of this fundamental and disturbing subject. It pulls together the strands of the phenomenon. It raises the debate. 
 
The book includes significant new material including information about JFK and also about secret meetings held by President Truman and Secretary Forrestal. There will also be important and previously unpublished documents from the ‘Majestic 12’ group as well as striking new photos.

Not For Disclosure

UFOS: The World's Best Kept Secret

Katherine Arden

Anne of Brittany was a child when her land was invaded, her castle besieged, and her royal father driven to his death. 
 
Now Brittany is occupied by her enemies, her treasury empty, and only one thing is lacking to complete her realm’s subjugation: she is required, on pain of the sword, to marry the King of France. 
 
But Anne cannot. She has promised her dead father that Brittany would never be conquered. 
 
Defiantly, she betroths herself in secret to France’s greatest enemy. But in a world where courts may spy on each other by magic, there is only one way to solemnize this illicit union. 
 
Under the guise of a hunting party, Anne takes her court deep into a deep forest, a strange place dogged with rumours of ancient enchantments; a place where diviners cannot see. She tells the French that she had gone there to hunt unicorns. 
 
It’s a ruse, a lie, a feint. 
 
But when, against all expectations, a unicorn does appear and a wounded stranger stumbles from the trees and falls at her feet, Anne is plunged into a world of enchantment where a doomed sovereign might find the power to change the destiny of her nation - or be lost in the mist for ever.
