Following the death of Susan Hill on 18 May 2004, a couple of obituaries, in the Guardian and the Bookseller, filled in some details of her life. She was primarily an editor, working most successfully at Sidgwick & Jackson in the late 1980s, where she brought in the likes of Bob Geldof's autobiography Is That It? and Boy George's Take It Like A Man. She had earlier been responsible for Barbara Hulanicki's From A To Biba, and she was not, of course, any relation to the woman of the same name who writes stuff like The Woman In Black. - Cause of death

Reviews
The Stone twins, Castor and Pollux, along with their headstrong, pistol-toting Grandmother Hazel pools their resources and funds from the twins' early inventions to buy a used rocket, turning what was supposed to be a strict university trip into a family space-yacht excursion.
The twins get into trouble with local Martian bureaucracy, trying to sell used bicycles at a profit, but are bailed out by their grandmother. It is here they adopt a native pet called a flat cat, a purring creature that show more sounds remarkably like a tribble.
The flat cats breed at an alarming rate, taking over the ship and requiring a quick-thinking space hibernation process. Along the way, the mother, Dr. Edith Stone, leaves the ship temporarily to treat an outbreak of disease.
The family shifts their focus to trading goods and prospecting for radioactive ores, ultimately venturing out to the outer reaches of the solar system toward Titan. show less
