part of any TMB publication may be reproduced, transmitted or stored in a
retrieval system in any form or by any means without permission in writing
by Turner Maxwell Books. All books are sold subject to the condition that
they shall not, by way of trade or otherwise, be lent, resold, hired out or
otherwise circulated without the publisher’s prior consent in any form of
binding or cover other than that in which this is published and without a
similar condition including this condition being imposed on the subsequent
purchaser. The purchases of all TMB books are a matter of private sale
between the reader and the publisher; at no stage will indemnity be claimed
against the publisher. The statutory condition of this publication states
that the moral right of each TMB author has been asserted. All TMB novels
are entirely works of fiction. The names, characters and incidents portrayed
are the work of the authors' imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons
living or dead, events or localities is entirely coincidental and may be
more the work of your own imagination. Why not write a book yourself? Turner
Maxwell Books are an alternative co-operative of new writers, working
towards publishing inspirational literature.
All books are printed and bound in the United Kingdom for Turner Maxwell Books.
