Charles Beaumont Books

Charles Beaumont, described by Ray Bradbury as a "pomegranate writer," showcased a vibrant imagination that produced a rich array of works. This collection features twenty-six stories that highlight Beaumont's diverse literary talents, ranging from his first professional sale, "The Devil You Say," which became a Twilight Zone episode, to the newly published "Beast of the Glacier." The collection spans various themes and styles, including the reflective science fiction of "Elegy," the subtle horror of "Mourning Song," the humor of "The Last Caper," and the poignant "Mass for Mixed Voices," which celebrates life amidst a backdrop of death. Beaumont also ventured beyond his well-known genres, contributing three stories—"The Love Master," "Genevieve, My Genevieve," and "Dead You Know"—to the men's magazine Rogue, while simultaneously writing for Playboy. His screenwriting prowess is further highlighted in "Anthem," presented in script form. Despite being written over fifty years ago, the stories remain strikingly relevant, addressing themes like the Holocaust in "The Man with the Crooked Nose" and systemic racism in "The Crimes of Willie Washington." This collection serves as a testament to Beaumont's enduring significance as a writer for all time.

Russia is struggling to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield. But can it win the war for influence? Simon Sharman is out for revenge, pursuing the assassin of his former colleague across war-torn Ukraine. Back in London, a Russian spy ring at the heart of the British Establishment remains active and a secret, yet desperate, struggle is underway to limit its attempts to sabotage the West's support for Ukraine. On the battlefields of the Donbas, Simon may have a chance to locate the assassin but larger forces are at work and he finds himself sucked into a terrifying shadow conflict between Russia and the West. Can a lone spy at war make a difference to the course of a conflict? From the rubble strewn streets of Bakhmut to the meeting rooms of Whitehall, from dirty bombs to dirty politics, A Spy at War takes the reader behind the scenes of the war in Ukraine and the war for the hearts and minds of the international community.
