世界上会发生一些奇怪的事。你能听到各种耸人听闻的故事，但它们是真人真事吗？你能相信谁呢？一些故事永远不会刊登在报纸上，因为政府不想让人们知道它们。但这样的故事会出现在奥米茄文件里。 有多少人知道奥米茄文件呢？不多——在布鲁塞尔恐怕只有30个人知道它。霍克和祖德就知道，因为文件里的许多故事都是他们收集来的。他们过着有趣的生活。一天，他们来到伦敦和一个青年交谈，他告诉他们一个关于某药品公司的离奇故事，但这是不是真的呢？又有一天，他们去苏格兰找一个生活在尼斯湖中的怪兽。当然，世上没有怪兽——对吗？还有一次，他们在太平洋的一个小岛上，那里的人都在谈论一只宇宙飞船。可是这只宇宙飞船在哪里呢？谁又真正见过它呢？它们都在那儿——在奥米茄文件里。

With the death of Black Michael of Strelsau and the restoration of King Rudolf to the throne, the troubles of Ruritania may seem to be at an end. But lasting peace cannot be secure when the notorious Rupert of Hentzau is still at large. Until now he has dared not set foot in the kingdom, but the incentives to return are impossible for Hentzau to resist - Ruritania remains under threat from this devious enemy. And trouble of a different kind exists in the hearts of Princess Flavia, now Queen; her husband, the tortured King; and the man she truly loves, Rudolph Rassendyll.

Hard to believe anything other than luck and maybe fate, never mind a book, can make someone fall in love with you, but oddly enough, Leil Lowndes seems to offer the advice that can do just that in How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You. The sensation of falling in love comes from a chemical secreted by the nervous system, phenylethylamine (or PEA, as Lowndes calls it, as in "Scientists tell us only PEA-brained people fall in Love"), and the trick is to trigger the manufacture of PEA in your potential love partner, giving him or her the sensation of being in love. Lowndes offers 85 techniques for "Hunters and Huntresses" to capture their "Quarry." Much of what the book offers is common sense--the power of eye contact and compliments--but it's presented in a new way and with such detail that it seems that it can't help but work. Following some of her advice will have you treading that fine line between nice and obsequious, and at times, this book may sound offensive to some, advising the reader to play what may sound like games. Lowndes is aware of this, and she offers some caveats, but still it is hard to get past advice such as, "Show him you're smart, but remember--not too smart" or "Watch your Quarry's reactions to outside stimuli, then show the same emotions." In all fairness, Lowndes doesn't play favorites: her advice to men and women can be equally appalling. Yet, the relaxed style of this book, presenting solid wisdom with a bit of scientific support, makes this book appealing, and, who knows, maybe it will make you more appealing, too! --Jenny Brown

Ten time-honored tales—brimming with enchantment, whimsy and sly humor—offer hours of reading pleasure: "The Birth of Bran," "The Little Brawl at Allen," "The Enchanted Cave of Cesh Corran," "Becuma of the White Skin," "Mongan’s Frenzy," and five others.

Harold Monkhouse is usually such an uncomplaining patient so when his brother Amos calls in one night, what he doesn't expect is to see him at death's door. Suspicions aroused, he demands an urgent second opinion. And when Harold is later found dead from arsenic poisoning, Amos is left in no doubt that foul play is afoot. The inquiry begins and Barbara Monkhouse is soon singled out as the prime suspect. What ensues is a roller coaster ride into crime fiction at its best as the truth of the fateful night eludes even the best of detective minds. Could it be a simple case of wife poisoning husband-or is it just possible that another shadowy figure stole into Harold's room, as a thief in the night, to rid the world of an innocent man?
