<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width=800 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>court_paper.gif </TD><TD vAlign=top>Introducing Voyager's exciting new launch for 2007, a compelling adventure fantasy, propelled by Stephen Hunt's engaging narrative voice. This fantastical tale of high adventure, low life rogues and orphans on the run is reminiscent of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and set in a Victorian style Dickensian world.

We have 3 signed hardback copies and 5 runner-up unsigned paperbacks to give away so hurry, enter today!

    yeah its Lyra,

    on this site it says:
    Pullman gifts his girl protagonist, Lyra, with a "daemon"-an animal familiar; a permanent sidekick, conscience, guardian, and pet companion-linked to her by an impalpable umbilical cord

    yeah they changed them the other day because someone had complained about the others that people with mental health problems could be offended by the mad and bonkers etc. The ones they changed them to were nerds and geeks and more people complained they were worse so they changed them again, must say these are okay though

    I must say I'm looking forward to becoming your level hjb!

    It just rolls off my tongue in a wonderful way :D

    By the time I get to that level of posts though someone will have probably complained that religious peeps might be offended that we are calling people devotees! :rolleyes:
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
