Book excerpt: Prince William of England, second in line to the throne, is asked by his grandmother to represent her at the Olympic events happening in the North of England in 2012. The Prince is pleased at the request, appearing in public as the Queen's representative, but then less than happy when people start shooting at him and threatening his life in a myriad of unpleasant ways. Then Melia arrives. Amelia Hartliss, or 'Heartless' as she is known, has been sent from the local Regional Office of WSB, the country's foremost anti-terrorism unit. She is a professional, but in the weeks spent in the Prince's company, she finds her nature as a young and passionate woman is tested to the limit. She is attracted to the young man, and is surprised to find that the feeling may be mutual. As the terrorists close in, the two dissimilar people have to work together to survive, forging a bond that is more than their duty demands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Once upon a time, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, was the world's most eligible bachelor. Over the past few years, he has moved from being the single prince who women all over the world long to be with, to being a married man whose wife those same women envy. As the son of the late Princess Diana, William is second-in-line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles. His royal heritage has seen him obtain the title of the Duke of Cambridge, a prestigious honor that has been awarded to noblemen of royal blood lines for almost 500 years. As a modern prince, William has been educated in schools throughout London that are sought after by those who are members of high society. His university education was completed at St. Andrew's, where he met his wife, Catherine Middleton. Although William has been born into the British Royal Family, he has not shied away from work. Like many princes before him, William has served time in the army, showing his dedication to his queen and country. As a serving member of the RAF, he trained at the Royal Air Force College Cranwell, and has reached the position of flight lieutenant. As a fully trained pilot, William has served in the Falklands, a set of islands situated near Argentina. The move to place William in Argentina was considered to be controversial, in addition to other controversies that surround him. Many of those who work in the media believe that it is thanks to Prince William and Catherine Middleton getting married in 2011, that faith in the British royal family has been restored across the British Commonwealth. The dazzling wedding was watched by over a billion people worldwide, who were all keen to witness a young prince marrying a "commoner." As Miss Middleton was neither of royal or noble heritage, her story struck a chord with women everywhere, who watched her fulfill their dreams of marrying a prince. The royal couple are now closely followed by the media, and are considered to be the most fashionable members of the royal family. With magazines such as Vanity Fair reporting on their state visits, and publications such as Cosmopolitan featuring the couple in their articles, it is clear to see how Prince William has become a common feature in popular culture today...

Book excerpt: This book interrogates why feminist memories matter. Feminist Afterlives explores how the images, ideas and feelings of past liberation struggles become freshly available and transmissible. In doing so, Red Chidgey examines how popular feminist memories travel as digital and material resources across protest, heritage, media, commercial and governmental sites, and in connection with the concerns and conditions of the present. Central case studies track repeated invocations to militant suffragettes and the We Can Do It! post-feminist icon over time and space. Assembling interviews, archival research and ethnographic accounts with provocative examples drawn from postfeminist media culture, a UNESCO heritage bid, protest at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and activist remembrance in zines and blogs, this is a broad-ranging study of ‘restless’ feminist pasts – both real and imagined. Richly researched and argued, this volume offers an original framework of ‘assemblage memory’ and sets out a new research agenda for the intersections between everyday activism, protest, and memory practices.

Book excerpt: Amelia Hartliss is employed by British Security Services to defend the nation against attacks. She is used to that, but in the normal run of things, the assaults are coming from abroad, from extremists not born and raised in this country. It is therefore a nasty surprise to find terrorists on her own doorstep, right in her home town. It's a new challenge, and a bigger fight than anything she's ever seen. If only she had help - but her time and attention are being distracted by her cousin Liv, who is asking Melia for help in clearing the name of a mutual friend who has been sent to prison for a crime he says he didn't commit. It's a nasty business, made worse by the fact that the 'crime' is something that polite people don't like to talk about. Her absence only makes things worse at Regional Office, where the Deputy Director finds himself with a new job - clearing out the stable. He has an idea: Melia could be the first to go.

Book excerpt: Manchester England is famous around the world. It's been that way for a while. These days, it's all about football and music, but back in Victorian times it was factories, slums and social reform. But in between such ups, there's been some downs, such as in the 1990s, when Manchester City Council was desperate for improvement. They came up with a striking idea - bringing the Olympic Games to Manchester. It didn't so difficult. All it would need would be to convince the International Bidding Committee that Manchester was the place to be for the foremost sporting spectacular in the world. That would mean choosing the city in the North West of England over such marvellous cities to visit as Sydney, Barcelona and Beijing. It's tough competition, and residents like Mickey start feeling the pain. Not just pressure on funds, but people he knows start being made redundant. Then people die. This is getting serious! Because he also has his friend Jim to protect, and his girlfriend to save. It's a deadly race!

Book excerpt: Amelia Hartliss is used to seeing the worst of human nature, but even she is shocked to see that unscrupulous criminals have made it their business to rip off the most generous charity in Salford. The Booth Foundation has a history of helping people, some of the poorest and most deprived in the city. Surely no one could be so mean minded as to take the bread out of hungry mouths? Unfortunately, that is exactly what is happening. The seemingly trustworthy workers are all now under suspicion, and their links to local gangsters are being explored. Melia needs to grit her teeth and hold her nose as she delves deeper into the excesses she is uncovering. Luckily, she has the help of other colleagues in the Unit, such as computer expert Terry. Even Melia's cousin Stan lends a hand. Unfortunately, Melia's most reliable ally, her boyfriend Mickey, is more of a problem. Where the heck is the man? Why can't he be found when he is really needed?

And if that means nurse maiding the most obnoxious man in England, well, that's just her bad luck. Bad luck to be stuck in a car with the Editor of the worst tabloid newspaper - ever. A man who doesn't know when he's not lying - which is when his mouth is closed. A man who doesn't understand sexist and racist language, just uses them every day of the week. A man who exploits women and uses men, not necessarily in that order. Of course people want to kill him! Bad luck for him then, that a pop singer is offering money to anyone who has a go. That brings volunteers out of the woodwork, every wierdo and nutcase that ever drew breath. Well, Melia wonders, for once, am I on the wrong side? Would the world be a better place with one less Ian McGregor?

Book excerpt: The General Election of 2015 is tearing the country apart, dividing friends and family, colleagues and workers. Up north, in Salford, the rivalry is even worse, aided and abetted by a series of terrorist outrages that has everyone on their toes. What is going on? Why are they being targeted? Only Mickey and Melia seem to have the ability to answer the questions, even though they aren't even close at the moment. They each have their own assignments. Mickey is on a canal barge, heavily disguised, working his way close to local politicians. Melia meanwhile, has been delegated to work with the Canadian Navy, temporarily berthed in Salford Docks with an enormous submarine. Why are they there? They have brought a present for the British government, they say, but seem surprisingly reluctant to hand it over. Melia wants to ditch the responsibility, and might have done, but for a rather attractive Lieutenant, who is taking up all her attention. Maybe, after all, Mickey will lose his place in her affections. Disaster!

Book excerpt: It's a busy year. Mickey is called in to help an old friend, but he's hardly got started when he gets another commission. And another. What's going on? Is it all because the BBC has decided to move its North of England headquarters to Salford Quays, and suddenly the whole world wants something from them? Mickey, confused, frustrated, has to struggle, as the months go by, to make sense of what is happening in his home city, how it is changing, and how it is being forced to change. Not everyone seems happy with the process, not even the BBC, whose members are slowly coming to terms with the fact that though the streets of Salford are outside the windows of their new, glossy buildings, they really have no idea what is happening down there and who these residents really are. Or what they're capable of.

Book excerpt: It's only an old church, isn't it? Well, No, the Church of England has abandoned the old building and taken it out of commission. Even though it was designed by one of the foremost Victorian architects, they'd be happy to see it rot, or, perhaps, turned into designer flats by a local property developer. Until that happens, it's a perfect Safe House, a bolt hole for the man Mickey has promised to protect - a man called Lucky. So 'lucky' that he's the target of three local gangs and numerous villains. How lucky is that? His problem, from the point of view of safety, is that he has recently been the lucky winner of several million of pounds of Lottery money. That attracts a lot of attention, and once the news gets out that he's in residence, all kinds of experts and enthusiasts turn up, hoping to see the distinguished building brought back into use. That would be a happy outcome. But if the gangs get their way, there will be nothing but trouble. They like to fight, and Lucky is right in their cross-hairs.
