Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
An intriguing crime story with a strong female lead, based on the authors knowledge of policing. A real life modern day thriller with an added historical twist. An assassination from the ancient past is somehow linked to a present-day murder enquiry. Detective Harriet Lacey’s marriage might be falling apart but she has a successful career. When she’s unexpectedly reassigned to an investigation headed by her cheating husband, she expects life to become more difficult... she does not expect it to become fraught with danger. Well respected members of the community are dying in mysterious circumstances and, the nearer she gets to uncovering the truth, the more precarious it becomes for her and her team. As the investigation intensifies Harriet begins to suspect that, amazingly, her case is connected to a political murder dating way back to the 4th Century BC. But getting evidence to prove this is quite another matter. She then learns of the existence of a secret organisation which also has its roots deep in the past. A society that has been working behind the scenes to try to prevent the violence directed towards her. And to stop those who are seeking to impede the police investigation, although this has had only mixed results. Harriet must decide whether this organisation’s involvement is a force for good, and the extent to which they can be trusted. When Harriet closes in on the criminals responsible, ancient history clashes with modern day greed, family ties with professional honour, and good with evil. But the ultimate truth, the truth she cannot ignore, lies with her.

Book Description
A college party lands freshman Hal Christianson in an America that could have been: no smartphones, no cars, no flush toilets. What he finds is a squabbling bunch of states, the consequence of the colonies having grown up on their own after European civilization collapsed from plague in the 1670s, and they are poised on the brink of war. There is no obvious way home and even asking is fraught with danger. People who appear like he did - as if from nowhere - are called Magicals, agents of Satan, to be killed out of hand. For a socially awkward young man, who takes refuge in online games, this is a bad situation. Swords and sorcery, though, had led Hal to study fencing, the one skill he has that may be useful in a world where the rifle is a new invention. Hal needs to grow up fast, just to survive. His path takes him from being a tavern boy to a mercenary for a merchant to the colonel of a vastly outnumbered regiment about to be attacked. Along the way, he discovers that love has less to do with beauty and more to do with who will save your life, even at the risk of her own. This is a coming of age in a different America.

Browned Off and Bloody-minded
Author: Alan Allport
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300170750
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
More than three-and-a-half million men served in the British Army during the Second World War, the vast majority of them civilians who had never expected to become soldiers and had little idea what military life, with all its strange rituals, discomforts, and dangers, was going to be like. Alan Allport's rich and luminous social history examines the experience of the greatest and most terrible war in history from the perspective of these ordinary, extraordinary men, who were plucked from their peacetime families and workplaces and sent to fight for King and Country. Allport chronicles the huge diversity of their wartime trajectories, tracing how soldiers responded to and were shaped by their years with the British Army, and how that army, however reluctantly, had to accommodate itself to them. Touching on issues of class, sex, crime, trauma, and national identity, through a colorful multitude of fresh individual perspectives, the book provides an enlightening, deeply moving perspective on how a generation of very modern-minded young men responded to the challenges of a brutal and disorienting conflict.
