Blood and Hope – standard
The American Civil War … a time of great unrest, when fathers found themselves in conflict with their sons and when lawlessness and slavery were rife.
The Doctor, together with his companions Peri and Erimem, arrive in the middle of the conflict. The Doctor manages to cope in his own inimitable manner, however Peri – an American – and Erimem – a dark-skinned Egyptian – find themselves faced with all the bigotry and hatred that typified the war for some.
Featuring the fifth Doctor, Peri and Erimem.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Iain McLaughlin was born during The Macra Terror. He should have arrived towards the end of The Moonbase but a cold snap and a stubborn streak did him out of that. A pity really, because The Moonbase is a great favourite of his. That has nothing to do with anything really. He just thought he’d like to mention it.
Since being forcibly turfed out of school, screaming and kicking, at the age of 18, he has earned a living working on various D.C. Thomson comics including the Beezer, the Beano and the Dandy, where the unsuspecting management made him assistant editor. He was one of the villains responsible for trying to pension off Desperate Dan in the 1990s but hopes they’ve made things up by now. In fact he introduced Dan to his current girlfriend.
He’s written a couple of Doctor Who audio stories and is, at least in part, responsible for many heated disagreements about how long the gap between Planet of Fire and The Caves of Androzani really is and whether or not another companion could really fit into that gap, which has pleased him no end. He’s like that. A bit of a git, really.
He’s been a Doctor Who fan for as long as he can remember, though given that he has a terrible memory that’s not saying much. In large part he blames Doctor Who for his fascination with history and laments the demise of historicals from the show.
Long-term ambitions include writing a thriller, winning the lottery, seeing Dundee United go through an entire season without causing him to lose the will to live at least once and most of all, working out how the DVD player works. Oh, and if Scotland could manage to sneak in winning the world cup that’d please him no end, too.

A quick update regarding the COWBOY BEBOP book ... we have now processed all the pre-orders that Telos received directly, and delivery has been stated as being 7-8 October for the UK, and 9-15 October for the USA and the rest of the world (it varies in the US I guess depending on where you live - it's a big place!).

It's now also live on Amazon where you live, and on Kindle ... and as someone asked, we and the author do get a lot more of the money if you order direct from Telos as Amazon take a hefty cut for those they receive orders for directly. But really we don't mind where you order it from ... as long as you order it :)

Cowboy Bebop is a series that has, quite rightly, elicited a lot of love and devotion from not just anime fans, but in a rare case of cultural cross-contamination, fans of other genres too, be it music, Sci Fi or drama. Rarely does an anime that isn't a generation-spanning franchise (like Gundam or....

'Stevenson has written an intricately researched and highly readable guide, the one companion book that every Bebop otaku must own.'![]()

'Three, Two One: Let’s Jam never fails to impress by simply getting the history right and avoiding falling into the trap of connecting threads in ways that simply aren’t true, and which fans like myself have done over the years. This is a serious and well-written work, a guide that’s entertaining for both aficionados of Cowboy Bebop and serious students of anime. In other words, go get this bounty, space cowboy. It’s worth every penny.'![]()
