Roaming from America to Europe to Australia, Lights Out is a trenchant examination of the tensions between a resurgent Islam and a fainthearted west - and of the implications for liberty in the years ahead. In 2007, the Canadian Islamic Congress brought three suits against Maclean s, Canada s biggest-selling newsweekly, for running an excerpt from Steyn s bestselling book America Alone, plus other flagrantly Islamophobic columns by the author. A year later the CIC had lost all its cases and Steyn had become a poster boy for a worldwide phenomenon - the collision between Islam, on the one hand, and, on the other, western notions of free speech, liberty and pluralism. In this book, Steyn republishes all the essays the western world's new thought police attempted to criminalize, along with new material responding to his accusers. Covering other crises from the Danish cartoons to the Salman Rushdie fatwa, he also takes a stand against the erosion of free speech, and the advance of a creeping totalitarian "multiculturalism"; and he considers the broader relationship between Islam and the west in a time of unprecedented demographic transformation.

The "hockey stick" graph of global temperatures is the single most influential icon in the global-warming debate, promoted by the UN's transnational climate bureaucracy, featured in Al Gore's Oscar-winning movie, used by governments around the world to sell the Kyoto Accord to their citizens, and shown to impressionable schoolchildren from kindergarten to graduation.
And yet what it purports to "prove" is disputed and denied by many of the world's most eminent scientists. In this riveting book, Mark Steyn has compiled the thoughts of the world's scientists, in their own words, on hockey-stick creator Michael E Mann, his stick and their damage to science. From Canada to Finland, Scotland to China, Belgium to New Zealand, from venerable Nobel Laureates to energetic young researchers on all sides of the debate analyze the hockey stock and the wider climate wars it helped launch.

A remote fantastical kingdom far from Europe's chancelleries of power...\nAn unpopular monarch on the eve of his coronation...\nA ruling class of plotters and would-be usurpers...\n...and a gentleman adventurer on holiday.\nNo, not Ruritania in the nineteenth century, but the United Kingdom in the twenty-first. Mark Steyn's new book is both a sequel to and an inversion of Anthony Hope's classic of 1894, The Prisoner of Zenda. In the original, an English gentleman on vacation is called upon to stand in for his lookalike, the King of Ruritania, at his coronation. Over a century later, a dispossessed Ruritanian king on vacation in London is called upon to return the favour and stand in for an Englishman in an absurd fantastical kingdom where Brexit never quite happened...\nMark Steyn's contemporary inversion of Sir Anthony's caper arose by accident: He had just read a kind comment from a listener who'd belatedly discovered his audio serialization of The Prisoner of Zenda - and immediately afterwards he chanced to see a BBC news bulletin reporting on something or other in a Covid-lockdowned London, followed by a story on the Polish election. And it occurred to him, not for the first time, that in the age of contagion life in most Eastern European capitals looks more normal than life in most Western European capitals. It is one of the odder twists of fate that, having had the lousiest twentieth century one could imagine, the far side of the Iron Curtain seems to be navigating the currents of the twenty-first rather better than the west. And so, with Sir Anthony's Ruritania still floating around the back of his mind, he wondered if today a Ruritanian wouldn't find life in London at least as fantastical as Hope's Rudolf Rassendyll found life in Strelsau.\nAnd so herewith an entertainment: a sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda set in England at the dawn of a new reign - and not just a sequel, but an inversion. Anthony Hope's romance of 1894 spawned an entire industry of yarns set in barely credible kingdoms - and the contemporary United Kingdom fits into that tradition just fine. You don't need to have read Zenda to get the concept. As with Hope's tale, this inversion is about honor and duty in a very foreign land.
