PLOB
Sometimes the only way to fight Evil is to simply go to work every day and do your job. Plob - Reetworthy Plob - Reetworthy Plob the Third - was doing just that. And it's proving to be more difficult than picking his nose with his elbow. What with attempting to restore his Grandfather's good name, learn the words of the Beer,Beer, Beer song and battle constantly with his testosterone fueled fantasies - he hardly has any time left to save the world.
But Bill the Plumber is on the loose and someone has to stop him..and that someone just happens to be Plob,with a little help from;a psychotic barmaid, a master magician, a cabbie,an accountant and a Trogre with fists the size of a wheelbarrow.
Plob - it's funnier than the plague, shorter than the bible and cheaper than the Mona Lisa.
PLOB goes South
Plob is back - and so is his arch nemesis, Typhon the Dark. And now the Big T is playing for keeps. It’s world domination time and once again the only one that can stand in his way is the teenage magician Plob and his master, Smegly. But they do have some help in the shape of the British and the Australian secret service, some giants, a cockerel and the infamous hobby-horsemen of the Hors-doovrees.
But will it be enough - because this time Typhon has something up his sleeve in the form of a battalion of Nazi Storm troopers courtesy of the 3rd Reich. So Heil Typhon and prepare for another serving of white-hot comedy from the best selling fantasy author Craig Zerf.
PLOB fights back
Plob the teenage magician, Master Smegly, Typhon the dark, Dragons, talking trees, goblins and - Winston Churchill??
Yes, Plob is back to save us once again and this time things got even harder. No expense has been spared with a cast of - lots and lots - space ships, time travel, Spitfires and girls in skin-tight leather. All in miraculous 2D format.
Craig Zerf continues his drive to provide the planet with the best of comedic fantasy with the next irrepressible installment of the adventures of the beloved Plob.

Custmer review: "In short, I was so immersed by the book I forgot about the people around me and the things I needed to do"
A shocking betrayal…
Riches. Power. An ancient heritage of pride. The Earl of Druridge wanted only for an heir. So when he learned that his wife was carrying another man’s child, he was filled with a thirst for vengeance.
But he wasn’t the one who caused Katherine’s death. Or was he? To his horror, he remembers nothing of that dreadful night, when their last shocking confrontation ended in scorching flame and cold blood.
A forbidden love…
Rachel McTavish, the beautiful daughter of a coal miner, knows something about the fire that took Lady Katherine’s life. In secret, the strong-willed girl strikes a bargain with the desperate earl: he must send his physician to help her dying mother or he may go to the scaffold—and the devil. The earl agrees, but Rachel is still unsure that her revelation will be enough to save him when so many wish him dead.
Passionately drawn to the nobleman, despite all the doubt and mystery that shrouds him, Rachel wonders if he can really be a murderer. Or if he is the only man who will ever own her heart…

Customer review: "This book is the best I have read covering this period of Glasgow's gangland history."
This chilling and disturbing memoir tells the story of one of Glasgow's most notorious criminals. In his own words, William Lobban tells how he was born in Exeter Prison to a violent, schizophrenic mother. His upbringing in the East End of Glasgow was just as bleak, and he ended up in care, destined for a life of violence and insecurity. Aged only 15 he masterminded a daring break-in to a Glasgow pub, and many years of armed robberies, dealing class A drugs and gang fights followed. When he wasn't causing mayhem on the streets, Lobban was serving terms in various young offenders' institutions and prisons, where he was involved in some of the most serious prison riots of recent years. In the course of his criminal career Lobban became closely associated with the infamous Paul Ferris, who was later to incriminate him as the murderer of fellow gangster Arthur Thompson Jr. Police also believed that Lobban was the man behind the brutal double killing of Bobby Glover and Joe 'Bananas' Hanlon, but none of these charges was made to stick. Finally released from prison in 1998, Lobban decided to walk away from a life of crime, but at first it proved impossible for him to break the way of life that had moulded him, and only in recent years has he found a measure of peace and stability. In this searing expose of the Glasgow underworld he reveals the true facts behind those crimes which he really committed, and those of which he is falsely accused
