...book deal. Ostensibly a chronicle of two decades in the life of the Hunter family in a shabby patch of North London, the novel's real vitality lies in the relationship between twin sisters Georgia and Bessi.

Check out the latest in crowd-control tech: beanbag guns, Spidey-style Webshots that launch Kevlar nets, PepperBall shooters and tasers that fire probes charged with a 50,000-volt shock. The heavy-duty stuff is yet to come: the U.S. military is developing a microwave gun whose beam feels like burning, and it's toying with sonic weapons that emit sound waves strong enough to knock you over or vibrate your internal organs to the point of nausea. By the way, Quiet Riot is still around; catch them touring...
