Theodore Roberts & the Key to the Imaginary Door "Into this world darkness has crept, Into this land many secrets have been kept. You are the child who will set all wrongs right, You are the one who has been sent to save the light." In another world a dark power pulses. . . A land in jeopardy awaits its chosen one to fulfill his destiny, to save them and the land they call home. Yet this hero is not from their domain nor have they ever met him. He resides in our world - the land of humans. It is he and he alone who has the key to unlock the rusted gates that will allow entry to a land of enchantment. To do so will bring his destiny into full light and take him on a quest that will make him question who he is, what he believes in, and reveal to him that he has indeed always possessed the greatest power in any world…his imagination.

Vivid and unforgettable, this popular novel follows an RAF fighter squadron during the Battle for France and the Battle of Britain. These pilots are real human beings, not two-dimensional heroes. Unconvinced of the wisdom of their leaders, they concentrate only on staying alive and on forgetting their fears of being burned to death in their planes. Some turn to drink, some turn on their compatriots in order to survive, and others score a succession of aerial victories--while acting unforgivably on the ground.

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."... "Someone must have told him about our back pay"' Piece of Cake follows the dramatic vapour trails of Hornet Squadron during the first year of World War Two from the Phoney War to the Battle of Britain and from the raw tomfoolery of young Pilot Officers to the misguided obstinacy of Fighter Command. At twenty thousand feet or on the ground, the men of Hornet squadron are quick-flying and quick-witted, always audacious and often less than scrupulous. Fanny Barton learns the hard way that promotion may be fast but leadership does not come so easily, that regret is a bygone word and that honour is a concept which you fight for but not with. He must kick his weary and bitter squadron into shape before they are all kicked from behind by Jerry whose destructive shadow is lengthening with increasing efficiency over the southern coastlines... Piece of cake. When it was first published, Piece of Cake gave rise to much acclaim and much criticism for its honest portrayal of life and action within the RAF World War Two. For those who do not wish to forget and for those who wish to learn, this is a fascinating, humorous and unsettling narrative by the author of Booker Prize shortlisted Goshawk Squadron and bestselling A Good Clean Fight.
