Whispers Under Ground
Author: Ben Aaronovitch
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345524624
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A WHOLE NEW REASON TO MIND THE GAP It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher—and the victim’s wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom—if it exists at all—is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects . . . except, that is, for London constable and sorcerer’s apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as “the Faceless Man,” it’s up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and—as of now—deadliest subway system in the world. At least he won’t be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. She’s young, ambitious, beautiful . . . and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah—that’s going to go well.

The Greatest Escape
Author: Steve J Plummer
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326667211
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
This is the story of the largest mass escape of Prisoners of War during World War Two. This extraordinary enterprise surpassed even the famous ""Great Escape"" of 1944 by British and Allied officers from Stalag Luft III - yet few people are even aware of it. The extraordinary events took place at a PoW Camp near Bridgend, South Wales and they continue to raise questions, even today. How many prisoners were actually involved in the break out? And did any of them succeed in getting home? The author, who lived and worked in and around Bridgend for thirty years, has carefully trawled the archives in an attempt to uncover the truth. The result is a novel which is both honest to the spirit of events and entertaining in its speculation of what may have taken place behind the smokescreen of official misinformation. ""The book is a great read, the story flows nicely at a comfortable pace."" - Maj. John A Thomas MA, TD**, Director of the 1940's Swansea Bay Museum.
