Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Fish Nets: The Second Guppy Anthology, dredges up even more
thrills, chills, and gills. Like its predecessor, Fish Tales, this
collection of mysteries by members of Sisters in Crime's "Guppies"
group features the best of what the mystery genre has to offer--a
fresh catch of mysterious murders, police procedurals, cozy
characters, and hardboiled detectives--straight from the
imaginations of some of mystery field's rising stars. Come on in,
the water's fine Don't mind the sharks...Introduction by Kaye
George.
Nine previously published tales from sunny side up to over hard.
Includes Agatha nominated short story of 2010.This collection
includes the story nominated for an Agatha in 2010, a diet spoof, a
Walmart people short short, and much more. These stories originally
appeared in Hard Luck Stories, Mouth Full of Bullets, Mysterical-E
and others.
This six-volume History of the Indian Mutiny was first produced in
1890 by Colonel George Malleson (1825 1898), who combined Sir John
Kaye's History of the Sepoy War in India with his own later work.
Kaye (1814 1876) was a prolific writer of biography and history who
started the Calcutta Review in 1844. His use of first-hand
evidence, collected from personal and professional contacts,
supports (perhaps predictably) his assertion that the rebellion is
a story of British 'national character', and the narrative is
illustrated with biographical and personal anecdotes. Malleson's
contributions however are derived from his controversial 'Red
Pamphlet' (1857) and other writings, in which he is unafraid to
criticise or praise British troops and administration as the
occasion demands. Volume 1 contains the first three books, covering
introductory remarks on political, military and religious history;
a description of the Sepoy army; and the outbreak of the Mutiny.

the revolt from Meerut to Allahabad and Cawnpore, concluding with
the battle of Najafgahr and the siege of Delhi.

concluding, as Kaye had initially proposed, that the events of the
period illustrate British strength of character and fortitude.

also contains a comprehensive index.
