A wandering vampire hunts for the sorcerer who ruined his kingdom Cado Ezechiar is a wanderer who has outlived the memory of the age that made him. A Soulblight vampire who accepted the curse as his people and kingdom fell to Chaos, he now roams the Realm of Death and beyond seeking retribution and salvation for the ones he failed. Aided by the bound spirits of those he lost, Cado follows a path of revenge, hunting the servants of Chaos to slake his need for blood while seeking the Sorcerer of Change who destroyed his kingdom. When his hunt leads him to the free city of Aventhis, Cado becomes caught up in the machinations of greater powers - beings who see the city and its people as dust in the eyes of ambitious gods. Torn between his code of honour and his desire for vengeance, Cado must navigate a web of war and deceit, or lose everything.

The commander of the BEF's view of the Great War
This book, written by Sir John French, concerns his period of command during the first period of the Great War. Predictably, as in many commander's memoirs it displays much partiality as to his own actions and those of others. This is particularly noteworthy since the consensus view of the history of the time does not judge-with much justification-French kindly. At the outbreak of the war French was the obvious choice for command and his views accorded with the government establishment if not with more forward thinking military men under his command. Fast moving German offensives revealed French's military strategy with its faith in inflexible defensive strongpoints to be hopelessly out of date. Events overtook him and were it not for Smith-Dorrien's aggressive action during the First Battle of Mons-for which seemingly French never forgave him-the BEF could easily have been overwhelmed. French became increasing out of touch and indecisive and was replaced in 1915 by Haig. This book is far from a balanced history, but is an important account of how a nineteenth century soldier saw his twentieth century war. It also contains much factual information on the dispositions of troops and actions in what was a fluid stage of the conflict.

In the summer of 1942 a Wellington bomber, operating with 115 Squadron from Marham in Norfolk was forced to ditch in the North Sea returning from a raid on Hamburg. Two members of the crew, who were picked up by the Luftwaffe, have written this book. '

If you've ever been camping, I'm sure you are familiar with that late night setting around the campfire. That time in the night where everyone quiets down and someone comes forth with a tale of horror or ghostly apparitions. While the flames dance in the fire, friends and family lean forward as the storyteller weaves their words for all to hear. The stories are at times fun, sometimes scary, and every now and again one wonders if they were true. 'Stories From A New England Campfire' is a collection of nine such short stories written by the author. Whether by the fireside, around the fireplace at home, or tucked in bed before going to sleep, let this book weave its web of tales before you put out the flames or turn off the light. This book will take you deep into the forest where ghostly figures roam and creatures of lore still exist. Follow its pages along pristine waterways in search of peace, only to find chaos and tribulation. Learn of the screams from long ago past, and sit by the fireplace with settlers in a time when anything beyond the coastline was frontier. Climb high into the mountains to witness bizarre events. And afterwards, when you are laying in the dark, do not so easily dismiss even the lightest of sounds. For we do not know what may be prowling in the shadows at night.

They are the sirens of the sea, beautiful creatures that can lure a sailor to destruction. They are beings both aquatic and human. They are the Mer folk and we'd like you tell their stories.

Read of tragedy, comedy and adventure, of loves both lost and found, of horrors inflicted on them or by them. The stories in this book will take you on back yard adventures and to a big city night club, to war ravaged oceans and the realms of fantasy and, since you're one of the lucky ones, on a much desired tour.
