You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories . . . From the greatest imagination there ever was. Written for local newspapers when Terry Pratchett was a young lad, these never previously published stories are packed full of anarchic humour and wonderful wit.

Pages : 266
Book Description
Lucy Meadowcroft's life hasn't turned out the way she planned. Her hometown always thought she'd go out and change the world. Instead, fifteen years out of high school, Lucy's working in a bookstore and her social life consists of sex dreams about a caveman named Rhawn. Granted, they're pretty awesome dreams, but it's not like the guy is real, right? He's smart and gorgeous and totally a figment of her frustrated imagination. All in all, things could be going a lot better for her. When Lucy reluctantly agrees to go on the Woodward High Reunion Cruise, she's feeling pretty miserable about her place in the world. ...And that's before the shipwreck.Now Lucy's somehow marooned in the Ice Age. She's stranded on an island filled with guys in loincloths who think she's "the Destroyer," an evil goddess sent to sink their homeland into the sea. This is *so* not what the alumni committee promised in the cruise brochure. The wooly mammoths and sabretooth tigers running around tell Lucy that she's a castaway in some other world. And in the middle of this prehistoric insanity, Lucy finds herself face-to-face with the caveman from her dreams. Rhawn the Accursed is reviled within the Clan. Every night, he dreams of Earth, the land of the gods, and of the Destroyer, the deity destined to end the world. Rhawn realizes that Lucy must be the wicked goddess, but he also senses that this woman is meant to be his mate. There is good in her. He knows it. All he has to do is persuade the rest of the Clan not to kill her, show Lucy that they were fated to find one another, devise a way to escape the island, and survive Lucy's annoying classmates, who've washed ashore with her. It shouldn't be that hard.After all, they have a few days left before the volcano erupts.

Book Description
Life after his deployment with Army Special Forces was rough for Alex. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter, and she was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl's fourth birthday party, he observed that the wall he'd been obsessing over in his basement was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. Behind that was another just like the first, and he still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway. Next to it, held up by a knife, was a note with a warning which he didn't heed. He is transported to a future unlike anything we've imagined, and Alex's fight to get back home becomes an epic struggle.

She's confused and distressed by her predicament, and there's a caveman hauling her back to his cavehome.
