Paperback. Condition: New. With nationalism and the far right on the rise across Europe and North America, there has never been a more important moment to face up to what we, in Britain, are doing to those who seek sanctuary. Still the UK detains people indefinitely under immigration rules. Bail hearings go unrecorded, people are picked up without notice, individuals feel abandoned in detention centres with no way of knowing when they will be released.In Refugee Tales III we read the stories of people who have been through this process, many of whom have yet to see their cases resolved and who live in fear that at any moment they might be detained again. Poets, novelists and writers have once again collaborated with people who have experienced detention, their tales appearing alongside first-hand accounts by people who themselves have been detained. What we hear in these stories are the realities of the hostile environment, the human costs of a system that disregards rights, that denies freedoms and suspends lives.…

Paperback. Return to the world of 2099! Just as Alchemax prepare to power up their new floating city of Valhalla, an all-new Thor appears, determined to claim the city for his fellow Aesir. But is this a Thunder God worthy of the name? Judging by the way he's hitting on Miguel O'Hara's girlfriend, maybe not. It will take the combined efforts of Spider-Man 2099 and his future cohorts Doom, Punisher, Ravage and the X-Men to uncover the truth about these apparent Asgardians, before Thor brings the hammer down on the world of tomorrow! And even if Thor doesn't, Bloodsword will. Miguel might have to take refuge in cyberspace - even though that could spell the end of his secret identity! COLLECTING: Spider-Man 2099 (1992) 15-22, Ravage 2099 15, X-Men 2099 5, Doom 2099 14, Punisher 2099 13. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that.
