Written by Jonathan Wood | Published by Titan Books | Format: Paperback, 480pp
Jonathan Wood’s supernatural thriller is a laugh-a-minute riot. Which is odd for a book about the end of the world.
You know your day isn’t going to start well when an attack drone starts trying to kill you at a funeral. Yet that’s how the members of MI317- a government department devoted to defending Britain from cosmic horrors- seem to spend their time. Between a nascent A.I that used to be their friend, the team’s completely dysfunctional relationship and a CIA that they can’t be sure if they trust or not, there’s a world to save. In the weirdest way possible.
With Avengers: Age of Ultron out at the moment, it’s the perfect time to use an easy analogy. Whereas a more serious novel would attempt something like Age of Ultron,...

Andy Schleck won at the highest finish in Tour history, but Thomas Voeckler clings on to the yellow jersey by 15 seconds
Stage 18: Pinerolo to Col du Galibier (200.5km)
Three of the Tour's nine hors category Alpine climbs loom ominously between the riders and the finish line today in a stage that should go some way towards sorting out the men from the boys ... unlike several other stages we predicted would do so, only for the Gc to remain more or less the same.
First up is the Col Agnel (2,744m), the third-highest pass in Tour history, followed by the Col d'Izoard (2,360m) with an average ascent of 7.1%. Finally, an exhausted field must tackle the Col du Galibier (2,645m), where the first rider to the summit will stand on the stage-winner's podium at a higher altitude than any competitor in Tour de France history.
The highest summit finish the Tour...
