Book Description
"Andrew Lownie's acclaimed biography - the first in over thirty years - reveals a character as complex and fascinating as any in his great quartet of thrillers starring master spy Richard Hannay. He succeeds in the daunting task of retelling Buchan's life in all its variety, breadth, and complexity. Based on exhaustive research and drawing on private papers previously unavailable to biographers, this is a compelling picture of Buchan's life, and a panoramic view of British political, social, and literary circles during the first half of the twentieth-century."--Jacket.

Book Description
Exile! A seemingly meaningless crime can have serious consequences, even in the island kingdom of Caladen, where crime is virtually unknown. The life of eighteen year old Arden is dramatically changed as he must journey to find the King of Kings and seek His judgment. Leaving his parents and Sarah, the girl he loves, Arden must travel across the sea to the "strange lands" only spoken of in stories - where good and evil wage war for the hearts and minds of the people. An evil queen lives there and false prophets preach to the people. However, the Lord Most High has not been forgotten and a great battle that occurred over a thousand years ago still shapes the present. Far away in the land of Jeshuryn is the City of Light, home to the King of Kings. The princess Ariana lives there, unaware that she has a role in this journey. The adventure is not without danger, but Arden finds unexpected help from legends on his journey to find the King of Kings. Journey to the King of Kings Book I: Exile is Dennis Redline's first venture into the Christian fiction arena. A native of Connecticut, he is actively involved in his church and currently working in sound ministry. In 2000 he served as a volunteer in Kentucky for 16 months, and subsequently has been on mission trips to Ukraine, and most recently Honduras. Additionally, he has travelled throughout the United States and explored some of Scotland and London. He has also been involved in inter-denominational teen ministry for many years and has geared this book for teens believing that adults will enjoy it as well. Another passion of his is hiking and for the past several years he has walked many trails with this book on his mind.

Book Description
EN: He, who never finds the courage to leave the native home, never finds who he truly is. This applied in the past and will apply in the future, and thus it‘s no surprise that it applies to the world created by the author of the Yorran saga, too. Only the obstacles and trials which the heroes of this fantasy story need to face are different from ours. There are people who set out on such journey voluntarily, and some will be forced to take it by the ruthless power of their destiny. And the story of our hero isn‘t any different. Abarhil is not a boy anymore. The question, however, is whether he really is the man who can face up to the trials which the fate lays before him. The author of the saga has created a complex world which he populated with unknown nations and curious animals. He created a history of the world in which he planted the seeds of events which just now begin to sprout. The features of future events are not very clear, yet, but not even our hero is ready to face them. Thus, a long journey awaits him. Far away sail to the southern seas, return journey full of hardships through the wilderness, unexpected adventures, and above all, unusual encounters which indicate his disturbing future. Can he handle the traps of love to which his heart will be exposed? Will he stand the test of the war hardships which his destiny lays before him? Will he understand what his destiny asks of him? Let‘s set out on this long and dangerous journey across the unknown world. Set your foot on a dusty path from which a new hero will be born. CZ: Kdo nenajde odvahu opustit rodný dům, nikdy nezjistí, kdo doopravdy je. To platilo včera, bude to platit zítra, a tak není divu, že to platí i ve světě stvořeném autorem ságy Yorrân. Jen překážky a zkoušky, kterým musí čelit hrdinové fantasy, jsou jiné než ty naše. Někdo se na takovou cestu vydá dobrovolně, jiného na ní postrčí nemilosrdná ruka osudu. A stejné je to i s hrdinou tohoto příběhu. Abarhil už není chlapcem. Otázka však zní, zda už je skutečně mužem, který se dokáže postavit čelem zkouškám, které mu osud přichystal? Autor epické ságy vytvořil kompletní svět, který osídlil neznámými národy a zvláštními zvířaty. Stvořil dějiny světa, do kterých zasadil semena událostí, která právě nyní začínají klíčit. Obrysy budoucích událostí ještě nejsou příliš zřetelné, ale ani hrdina, tohoto příběhu, ještě není připraven jim čelit. Proto jej čeká dlouhá pouť. Daleká plavba do jižních moří, strastiplný návrat divočinou, nečekaná dobrodružství, a hlavně neobvyklá setkání, která mu naznačí jeho znepokojivou budoucnost. Dokáže zvládnout úklady lásky, kterým bude vystaveno jeho srdce? Obstojí ve válečných útrapách, které mu přichystal osud? Pochopí, co po něm osud žádá? Pojďte se vydat na dlouhou a nebezpečnou cestu neznámým světem. Vstupte na stezku z jejíhož prachu se zrodí nový hrdina.
