|title=Back to Blood
|summary=The past is catching up with Bob Winrush. His marriage is over as a result of his inconsiderate arrival home early when weather cancelled one of his jobs as a cargo pilot to find his wife in bed with another man but when an investigative journalist starts to dig into some of the content of Bob's previous cargo trips, his life is quickly placed in grave danger. His problems stemmed from having walked away from a particularly morally dubious trip to transport arms to the Taliban some years ago, although it turns out that his moral line in the sand is somewhat blurred. He has knowingly transported guns and military personnel in his time. He's sort of the aeronautical equivalent of white van man.

|author=Danny Wallace
|title=Charlotte Street
|rating=4.5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=In his early books, Danny Wallace was the new Tony Hawks, taking on silly challenges and recounting them in amusing ways. With ''Charlotte Street'', his first entirely fictional work, he seems to be moving into territory inhabited by [[:Category:Mike Gayle|Mike Gayle]], that of bloke-lit. It seems a decent fit, as his book ''Yes Man'' had elements of bloke-lit, despite being based on actual events. It may have suffered from a twee ending, but it offered enough to suggest that this is a field Danny Wallace could work well in.
