The Emperor is dead. Long live the Empire. General Bordan has a
lifetime of duty and sacrifice behind him in the service of the
Empire. But with rebellion brewing in the countryside, and
assassins, thieves and politicians vying for power in the city, it
is all Bordan can do to protect the heir to the throne. Apprentice
Magician Kyron was assigned to the late Emperor's honour guard
escorting his body on the long road back to the capital. But even a
magician's power may fail when enemies emerge from the forests
intent on seizing their precious cargo. Whoever controls the
Emperor's body, controls the Empire...
AD265 - In the shadow of Mount Etna, slaves are rising up. As the
rebel leader declares Sicily the new land of the free, men and
women are slaughtered, and cities across the island are sacked and
burned. When a ship is wrecked off the island's west coast, all but
two survivors are cut down in the surf by the rebel slaves.
Ballista, an experienced Roman soldier, has always found a way to
survive against the odds - but his son Marcus is still just a boy.
With the burning road stretching out ahead of them, father and son
must cross the war-ravaged island in a race against time to save
the rest of his family, and somehow find a way to extinguish the
brutal rebellion, before it all goes up in flames.
In the sixth title in the successful Woods Cop Mystery series,
another suspenseful who-done-it finds Grady Service with an
unexpectedly complex, truly rotten, and important case on his
hands. This time tainted eggs are showing up in caviar and Service
must expose a ring of corruption in state government and perhaps
within his own beloved DNR, one that could lead him all the way to
the top. Making enemies at every level of the state, Service rousts
out the people on the take. Can he get to the source of the
contaminated eggs and prove it? Pitting corporate greed against the
health of the general public isn't something Service takes lightly.
He doesn't rest until there has been full exposure in a case that
takes him from the wilds of the Upper Peninsula to the jungles of
the state capital, into the maw of the Ukrainian mafia in New York
City and onto distant beaches of Central America. For more on

Jules Verne is the author of many classic, world-famous novels such
as Around the World in 80 Days and Journey to the Centre of the
Earth. In this brand-new translation of The Blockade Runners, Verne
moves seamlessly between Scotland and the southern states of the US
during the American Civil War. With the southern harbours
effectively sealed by the North, Scottish industrialist James
Playfair must run a daring Federalist blockade of a Charleston
harbour in an effort to trade supplies for cotton and to rescue a
young girl's father, held prisoner by the Confederates. As the
blockade grows tighter, will Playfair risk all to save the man, or
will he head back to Scotland in safety with his hold full of
precious cotton? The Blockade Runners is a translation of Les
Forceurs de Blocus (1871). As a novella, it was originally included
along with A Floating City in the first English and French
editions.
Only fools think war is simple. Or glorious. Some are warriors,
some captains; others tend to the fallen or feed the living. But on
the magic-drenched battlefield, information is the lifeblood of
victory, and Aranthur is about to discover that carrying messages,
scouting the enemy, keeping his nerve, and passing on orders is
more dangerous, and more essential, then an inexperienced soldier
could imagine . . . especially when everything starts to go wrong.
Battle has been joined - on the field, in the magical sphere, and
in the ever-shifting political arena . . . Praise for Miles Cameron
'A masterclass in how to write modern fantasy - world building,
characters, plot and pacing, all perfectly blended. Miles Cameron
is at the top of his game. To say I loved it is an understatement'
John Gwynne 'Miles Cameron is back with a brand new series and
you're going to be hooked from the very beginning. A fresh take on
the typical farm boy turned hero fantasy, this is everything you
could possibly want in a fantasy series' The Bibliophile Chronicles
'A stirring, gritty and at times quite brutal epic fantasy' Tor.com
'This series promises to be the standout epic fantasy for the ages'
Fantasy Book Critic
Styrkar the warrior sails to dangerous lands in this thrilling new
historical adventure from Richard Cullen. The sequel to Oath Bound,
longlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize 2022.
England, 1068: a land gripped in the iron fist of Frankish
invaders. But the Conqueror does not sit easily on his fledgling
throne. Rebellion is rife, and the flames of uprising have been
ignited in every corner of the kingdom. Thrown back into this
crucible is Styrkar the Dane, former housecarl of the slain King
Harold. Forced to travel to Ireland by his deadliest enemy, he must
risk the fates of his brothers-in-arms in order to protect the one
thing he loves. So begins a journey that will take Styrkar to the
royal court of Dublin, and the frigid climes of the north of
England, for loyalty, love and vengeance. He will be tested, beaten
and broken, but can any man keep the Red Wolf chained for long?
Reviews for Richard Cullen: 'Richard Cullen's writing is as sharp
as the blade wielded by Styrkar, the series' protagonist, who cuts
a bloody swathe through his Norman enemies on his quest for
vengeance. Styrkar is a great heroic creation, and the Wolf of
Kings series places Cullen in the top tier of historical action and
adventure authors' Matthew Harffy 'Fast-paced and enthralling, the
tale of Styrkar the Dane, the Red Wolf, [is] a brutal yet
compelling tale, and one that gripped me from the first page to the
last' Paul Fraser Collard 'A perfect example of tight, gritty,
character-driven storytelling' Luke Scull, on Herald of the Storm
'Like all the best vintages Jack Lark has aged to perfection.
Scarred, battered and bloody, his story continues to enthral'
ANTHONY RICHES Historical military fiction at its finest, for fans
of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, Matthew Harffy and Patrick
O'Brian. South Africa, 1871. Jack Lark no longer walks alone. With
the worldly Anna Baker by his side, he travels to the Cape Colony
diamond fields determined to seek their fortune - and an
adventurous new life together. The journey north soon turns violent
as tensions erupt between other hopeful diggers and a gang of Boer
men. Everyone has their eye on the same elusive prize - and some
will stop at nothing to get it. For Jack and Anna, unearthing a
diamond is only half the battle. Getting out of the mines alive
will prove far more difficult - and dangerous. And when the worst
happens, Jack finds himself tested as no enemy, no man and no war
has ever before. Praise for the Jack Lark series: 'Brilliant'
Bernard Cornwell 'Enthralling' The Times 'Bullets fly, emotions run
high and treachery abounds... exceptionally entertaining historical
action adventure' Matthew Harffy 'Expect ferocious, bloody action
from the first page' Ben Kane 'You feel and experience all the
emotions and the blood, sweat and tears that Jack does... I
devoured it in one sitting' Parmenion Books
Another Fabulous Art History Thriller by the Bestselling Author of
Oil and Marble, Featuring the Master of Renaissance Perfection:
Raphael! Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most
iconic masterpieces of the Renaissance. Here, in Raphael, Painter
in Rome, Storey tells of its creation as never before: through the
eyes of Michelangelo's fiercest rival-the young, beautiful,
brilliant painter of perfection, Raphael. Orphaned at age eleven,
Raphael is determined to keep the deathbed promise he made to his
father: become the greatest artist in history. But to be the best,
he must beat the best, the legendary sculptor of the David,
Michelangelo Buonarroti. When Pope Julius II calls both artists
down to Rome, they are pitted against each other: Michelangelo
painting the Sistine Ceiling, while Raphael decorates the pope's
private apartments. As Raphael strives toward perfection in paint,
he battles internal demons: his desperate ambition, crippling fear
of imperfection, and unshakable loneliness. Along the way, he
conspires with cardinals, scrambles through the ruins of ancient
Rome, and falls in love with a baker's-daughter-turned-prostitute
who becomes his muse. With its gorgeous writing, rich settings,
endearing characters, and riveting plot, Raphael, Painter in Rome
brings to vivid life these two Renaissance masters going head to
head in the deadly halls of the Vatican.
'Balkan Glory is an epic chapter in the splendid Kydd canon,
weaving knotty political gambits with stirring naval actions,
expressively re-creating the often harsh reality Jack Tars
witnessed within their wooden walls during the Napoleonic Wars' -
Quarterdeck 1811. The Adriatic, the 'French Lake', is now the most
valuable territory Napoleon Bonaparte possesses. Captain Sir Thomas
Kydd finds his glorious return to England cut short when the
Admiralty summons him to lead a squadron of frigates into these
waters to cause havoc and distress to the enemy. Kydd is dubbed
'The Sea Devil' by Bonaparte who personally appoints one of his
favourites, Dubourdieu, along with a fleet that greatly outweighs
the British, to rid him of this menace. At the same time, Nicholas
Renzi is sent to Austria on a secret mission to sound out the
devious arch-statesman, Count Metternich. His meeting reveals a
deadly plan by Bonaparte that threatens the whole balance of power
in Europe. The only thing that can stop it is a decisive move at
sea and for this he must somehow cross the Alps to the Adriatic to
contact Kydd directly. A climactic sea battle where the stakes
could not be higher is inevitable. Kydd faces Dubourdieu with
impossible odds stacked against him. Can he shatter Bonaparte's
dreams of breaking out of Europe and marching to the gates of India
and Asia? ************************************* Readers LOVE Balkan
Glory 'I can say without a doubt Balkan Glory is Stockwin's best of
the series. All these elements make it so. It's great, involving
reading (I was surprised when I reached The End!). It's what makes
for great historical fiction' 'By far the best of the Kydd series.
Can the next one possibly be as riveting?' 'One of my must have
books each year'
'Historical fiction at its finest.' @MargaretAtwood It is 1535 and
Agnes Peppin, daughter of a West-country butcher, has been
banished, leaving her family home in disgrace to live out the rest
of her life cloistered behind the walls of Shaftesbury Abbey. While
Agnes grapples with the complex rules and hierarchies of the
sisterhood, King Henry VIII has proclaimed himself Head of the
Church of England. Religious houses are being formally subjugated,
monasteries dissolved, and the great Abbey is no exception to the
purge. Cast out with her sisters, Agnes is at last free to be the
master of her own fate. But freedom comes at a price as she
descends into a world she knows little about, using her wits and
testing her moral convictions against her need to survive - by any
means necessary...
Mr Edgar Finchley, unmarried clerk, aged 45, is told to take a
holiday for the first time in his life. He decides to go to the
seaside. But Fate has other plans in store... From his abduction by
a cheerful crook, to his smuggling escapade off the south coast,
the timid but plucky Mr Finchley is plunged into a series of the
most astonishing and extraordinary adventures. His rural adventure
takes him gradually westward through the English countryside and
back, via a smuggling yacht, to London. This gentle comedy trilogy
was a runaway bestseller on first publication in the 1930s and
retains a timeless appeal today. It has been dramatized twice for
BBC Radio, with the 1990 series regularly repeated. What people are
saying about the Mr Finchley series: 'Wonderful character from a
kinder slower England between the wars.' 'An overlooked gem. An
innocent picaresque novel set in an arcadian version of mid 20th
century England. The literary equivalent of naive painting, it
narrates the adventures of a respectable upper middle-aged man who
takes retirement.' 'An antidote to the rush of the early 21st
century.' 'A thoroughly enjoyable stroll through a vanished England
with some lovable characters. Don't expect modern, fashionable
agonisings, here there is good, evil, and understanding. A lovely
reminiscent wallow of a read.' 'Gentle well told simple story, full
of pleasant surprises, and a mild mannered believable hero. Loved
it to bits.' 'So gentle, it hurts.' 'There is a freshness about the
writing which is charming and that disarms criticism. Don't expect
any great profundities, a gripping plot or inter-character tensions
- these books are of the world of Billy Bunter and William Brown -
but do expect a very well-written and enjoyable romp through early
twentieth-century England in the company of an engaging
protagonist.' 'A delightful story of a man who finds himself jolted
out of his comfort zone and taken on a journey beyond his wildest
imaginings.' 'Another lovely book detailing the adventures of Mr
Finchley in altogether far too short a series. Full of humour and a
book I was sorry to finish as I wanted it to go on and on.' 'Highly
recommended for anyone seeking an entertaining amusing read.' 'A
delight to be transported to an England I never knew despite
growing up in the 1950s and to experience the countryside through
the sharp eyes of the author who obviously had a great love of all
things rural.' Editorial reviews: 'Quite delightful, with an
atmosphere of quiet contentment and humour that cannot fail to
charm ... The longer we travel with Mr Finchley, the better we come
to love him. He makes us share his bread and cheese, and beer and
pipe. His delight at the beauties of the countryside and his mild
astonishment at the strange ways of men are infectious.' Daily
Telegraph 'His gift of story-telling is obviously innate. Rarely
does one come on so satisfying an amalgam of plot, characterisation
and good writing.' Punch 'A paean to the beauties of the English
countryside and the lovable oddities of the English character...
[Mr Finchley] runs into one astonishing situation after another,
sticking gamely to his resolve that he must take things as they
come and accept them.' New York Times 'What counts for most in the
story, as it did for Mr Finchley, is his mounting pleasure in
vagabondage and the English scene.' The Times 'There is such a
gentle humour in the book ... Mr Finchley is the ideal Englishman.'
Daily Sketch
Irish immigrant brothers Michael and Thomas O'Driscoll have
returned from the brutal front lines of the Civil War. Unable to
adapt to life as farm labourers, they re-enlist in the army and are
thrown into ferocious combat with Red Cloud's coalition of Indian
tribes in the heart of Montana's Powder River Valley. Thomas finds
love amidst the daily carnage-which leads to a moment of violence
that will change the brothers' lives forever. Meanwhile, following
a double murder in a brothel, Lieutenant Martin Molloy sets off to
track down the killers. As he journeys to a remote outpost, he
meets Irish nationalist rebels and anti-immigrant nativists who
prove to be opposed to his investigations. Wolves of Eden blends
intimate historical detail and emotional acuity in a haunting
narrative that explores themes of morality, the resilience of the
human spirit and the injustice implicit in warfare.
*Brand new tie in book to the new Assassin's Creed: Syndicate* A
disgraced Assassin. A deep-cover agent. A quest for redemption.
1862, and with London in the grip of the Industrial Revolution, the
world's first underground railway is under construction. When a
body is discovered at the dig, it sparks the beginning of the
latest deadly chapter in the centuries-old battle between the
Assassins and Templars. Deep undercover is an Assassin with dark
secrets and a mission to defeat the Templar stranglehold on the
nation's capital. Soon the Brotherhood will know him as Henry
Green, mentor to Jacob and Evie Frye. For now, he is simply The
Ghost. Assassin's Creed: Underworld is the eighth gripping novel
from Oliver Bowden set in the immersive world of Assassin's Creed.
From the author of the existential thriller 'The Execution' comes
'Colony', a novel set in French Guiana as the age of Empire draws
to a close and anarchy beckons. The year is 1928. Sabir - petty
criminal, drifter, war veteran - is on a prison ship bound for a
notorious penal colony in the French tropics. Soon after his
arrival in the bagne, as it's known, Sabir is shipped out to a work
camp deep in the South American jungle but quickly comes to the
realisation that his old life is dead, and return to France an
impossibility. Yet, if he's to survive at all, he must escape the
brutality of the bagne. Posing as a professional gardener, Sabir
wins the confidence and protection of the camp's naive, idealistic
Commandant. With a group of like-minded convicts - including the
secretive, enigmatic Edouard, a comrade from the trenches of WW1 -
he soon launches his escape bid, across the seas in a stolen boat.
Bad weather forces the men ashore, condemning them to a dismal,
hallucinatory tramp through the jungle. As hunger and rivalry tear
the group apart, Sabir understands he has scant chance of escaping
into another life. In Part Two, Manne - deserter, itinerant exile -
comes to the Colony in search of his deported friend, the same
Edouard from Part One. With a false identity and cover story, Manne
installs himself as a guest at the Commandant's house. There, he
falls into an affair with his host's wife. Meanwhile, the
Commandant is slowly unravelling, growing ever more suspicious of
who Manne is and what he's doing in the Colony. Manne ends up
trapped like everyone else in the bagne, and realises that he too
must escape. The novel's two plot threads begin to merge -
boundaries between dream and reality blur, bringing a surreal tinge
to the dramatic climax. Both a page-turning adventure story, and a
bold novel of ideas, Colony takes an historical background familiar
to readers of Henri Charriere's 'Papillon', and twists it into a
metaphysical journey. Brilliantly evoking an atmosphere of colonial
decline in the tropics, the novel explores the shifting natures of
identity, memory and reality.
AD 60. Britannia. The Boudica Revolt begins . . . Macro and Cato -
heroes of the Roman Empire - face a ruthless enemy set on revenge
The Roman Empire's hold on the province of Britannia is fragile.
The tribes implacably opposed to Rome have grown cunning in their
attacks on the legions. Even amongst those who have sworn loyalty,
dissent simmers. In distant Rome, Nero is blind to the danger. As
hostilities create mayhem in the west, Governor Gaius Suetonius
Paulinus gathers a vast army, with Prefect Cato in command. A hero
of countless battles, Cato wants his loyal comrade Centurion Macro
by his side. But the Governor leaves Macro behind, in charge of the
veteran reserves in Camulodunum. Suetonius dismisses concerns that
the poorly fortified colony will be vulnerable to attack when only
a skeleton force remains. With the military distracted,
slow-burning anger amongst the tribespeople bursts into flames. The
king of the Iceni is dead and a proud kingdom is set for plundering
and annexation. But the widow is Queen Boudica, a woman with a
warrior's heart. If Boudica calls for death to the emperor, a
bloodbath will follow. Macro and Cato each face deadly battles
against enemies who would rather die than succumb to Roman rule.
The future of Britannia hangs in the balance. 'An outstanding book
with the vivid battle scenes proving a highlight' 'This is action
packed and unputdownable . . . from the first page, you are
transported back in time. A captivating book full of heroism and
sacrifice' 'Vigorous plot with unexpected twists' 'Scarrow . . .
has the gift of combining wide knowledge of the period with a
page-turning narrative' Sunday Times SIMON SCARROW: 5 MILLION BOOKS
