Tracking three extraordinary short adventures from across the Whoniverse, The Triple Knife is the first Doctor Who story collection by Sunday Times bestselling author Jenny T Colgan.

Ashildr, a young Viking girl, died bravely helping the Doctor save the village she loved - so the Doctor used alien technology to bring her back to life. Ashildr became immortal and, since that day, has kept journals to chronicle her extraordinary life. The Triple Knife is a glimpse into the life of a woman who lived longer than anyone ever should - and lost more than she can even remember.

Picnic at Asgard drops in on another woman of the Whoniverse who never fails to find herself too far from danger and excitement. And when you're married to a Time Lord, what more can you expect? This adventure, extracted from her journal, reveals still more about the legendary River Song.

Into the Nowhere follows the Eleventh Doctor and Clara as they land on an unknown alien planet. To the Doctor's delight and Clara's astonishment, it really is unknown. It's a planet the Doctor has never seen. It's not on any maps, it's not referenced on any star charts or in the TARDIS data banks. It doesn't even have a name. What could be so terrible here that has been erased?

This collection also includes A Long Way Down, a short-short story never published in volume form before.

No work of fiction has explored the undercurrents of love between a writer and a reader as seductively as Hallucinating Foucault, a breathtaking literary debut. One of the best novels of the year.--A.S. Byatt.

Madame Helena Rubinstein and Miss Elizabeth Arden: Their Lives, Their Times, Their Rivalry

Now a Tony-nominated Broadway musical playing at the Nederlander Theatre starring two-time Tony Award winners Patti LuPone (Evita, Gypsy) as Helena Rubinstein and Christine Ebersole (42nd Street, Grey Gardens) as Elizabeth Arden.

A fascinating dual biography of the women who founded today's beauty industry

They were both born in the nineteenth century in humble circumstances--Helena Rubinstein in an orthodox Jewish household in Kraków, Poland, Elizabeth Arden on a farm outside Toronto. But by the 1930s, they were bitter rivals in New York, the rulers of dueling international beauty empires that would forever change the way women thought about cosmetics, salons, and wrinkles. This riveting biography brings these two celebrated women to life, revealing the ruthless drive and innovative business strategies that took each to the top. Along the way, it offers an intriguing look at their personal idiosyncrasies (Rubinstein collected art, Arden racehorses), their checkered marriages, and the rarefied social milieu in which they both traveled.
