THIS ... is a Special Preview

You may have seen Red Sparrow author, Remy Dean, at a few festivals and conventions this summer. He has been reading extracts from his forthcoming novel, This, which will be the first book in the This, That and The Other trilogy. If you were lucky enough to be there for one of his readings, you may well have picked up one of the free promotional booklets containing the sample chapter he has been airing. If you have not been one of the 'lucky few', you can now read  A Little Bit of This, in digital form below, and then you can enter our competition to win a copy of the full novel!

Please note that this extract is printed in advance of the publication of the entire novel and there may be slight differences in the text of the final version. Click above to read full-screen. ('Escape' to exit full-screen)
