World War II recedes ever faster now from recollection, but it is
the intention of the Esterhazy Press to refresh those fading colors
with a series of new adventures into the labyrinth of military
memories. Leo Davis, sired and trained by survivors of The Great
War, faces the fury of Imperial Japan and the intense and
sophisticated savagery of Nazi Germany with his four feet firmly
planted. Read within of his and others' acts of courage and
determination to prevent the victory of unendurable evil. In the
course of his service Davis acquaints those who read of his
exploits with determined, doomed generals; beaten tankers with one
last fight left in them; SS killers and a donkey-eared pilot out to
find and destroy Hitler's Vergeltungswaffen. From Luzon to the
frozen misery of Bastogne, heroes of different minds and bodies act
together in a world-wide victorious struggle against foes and
beliefs that human and all other manifestations of kindly
intelligence could not allow to conquer.
You are invited to meet a scholar turned traveler, pilgrim, soldier
and voyager in a long-vanished world where philosophers train
general-kings, empires rise and shatter, and technology teeters on
the very brink of industrial revolution. Herein can be found the
writings of Loquacious of Rhodes, student of Aristotle,
acquaintance of Plato, awed and amazed by the world around him,
whose accounts of his time it is the very great pleasure of the
Esterhazy Press to spread here before you. The Fourth Century B.C.
is a forgotten era of huge ships, huge weapons, epic battles, and
epic voyages. In Loquacious's world, centaurs, satyrs, silenoi and
men fought, voyaged, lived and died together-and who is to say in
another reality that such great exploits are but myth? Miracles of
nature, miracles of the gods-and miracles of science and ingenuity
display themselves suddenly in terrifying instruments of war and
great voyages to the edge of the known world.
Behind the scenes of history. Lurked desperate men with strange
knowledge, doctors with dangerous cures, and scientists terrified
by their own discoveries. Join the heir to a faerie legacy and his
bloody companion on a journey that ends before the very ramparts of
New Orleans and in the smoke of a terrifying battle. What was the
secret Winston Churchill's valet sought to share with his employer
from beyond the grave? Meet Flight Lieutenant Neville 'Bunny'
Edwards, who in the course of the Second World War loses his
humanity, but never his courage or his determination to stay in the
fighting.
