Fight together - or die alone....In the 23rd century, humanity is enjoying a comparative utopia. Yet life on Earth is about to change, forever. Feriton Kane’s investigative team has discovered the worst threat ever to face mankind - and we’ve almost no time to fight back. The supposedly benign Olyix plan to harvest humanity, in order to carry us to their god at the end of the universe. And as their agents conclude schemes down on earth, vast warships converge above to gather this cargo.Some factions push for humanity to flee, to live in hiding amongst the stars - although only a chosen few would make it out in time. But others refuse to break before the storm. As disaster looms, animosities must be set aside to focus on just one goal: wiping this enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means preparing for a future this generation will never see. Salvation Lost is the second book in the Salvation Sequence by Peter F. Hamilton.

A masterful epic of magic, politics, war, and the power of love and hate—from the renowned author of The Fionavar Tapestry and Children of Earth and Sky.Tigana is the magical story of a beleaguered land struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the black sorcery of a cruel despotic king that even the name of their once-beautiful homeland cannot be spoken or remembered... But years after the devastation, a handful of courageous men and women embark upon a dangerous crusade to overthrow their conquerors and bring back to the dark world the brilliance of a long-lost name...Tigana. Against the magnificently rendered background of a world both sensuous and barbaric, this sweeping epic of a passionate people pursuing their dream is breathtaking in its vision, changing forever the boundaries of fantasy fiction.

Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly-decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. His memoirs, richly illustrated with contemporary photographs, including key confrontations of World War II. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a Company of Tigers at Kursk, later a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak Company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank.) Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built. They were the most powerful heavy tanks to see service, and only one kind of shell could penetrate their armour at a reasonable distance. Every effort had to be made to retrieve any of them bogged down or otherwise immobilized, which led to many towing adventures. The author has a fine memory and eye for detail, his account is easy to read and not technical, and adds very substantially to the knowledge of how the German Panzer Arm operated in the Second World War.

The Battle of the Atlantic was -- though often overlooked -- crucial to the Allied victory. If the German U-boats had prevailed, the maritime artery across the Atlantic would have been severed. Mass hunger would have consumed Britain, and the Allied armies would have been prevented from joining in the invasion of Europe. There would have been no D-Day. Through fascinating contemporary diaries and letters, from the leaders and from the sailors on all sides, Jonathan Dimbleby creates a thrilling narrative that uniquely places the campaign in the context of the entire Second World War. Challenging conventional wisdom on the use of intelligence and on Churchill's bombing campaign, The Battle of the Atlantic tells the epic story of the decisions that led to victory, and the horror and humanity of life on those perilous seas.

The great airborne battle for the bridges in 1944 by Britain's Number One bestselling historianOn 17 September 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out on to his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power.Operation Market Garden, the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept: the Americans thought it unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery. But could it ever have worked? The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch, who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel, and lasted until the end of the war.The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem in myths. Antony Beevor, using often overlooked sources from Dutch, British, American, Polish and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting, which General Student himself called 'The Last German Victory'. Yet this book, written in Beevor's inimitable and gripping narrative style, is about much more than a single, dramatic battle. It looks into the very heart of war.

The long-awaited and highly anticipated final volume in Penman’s trilogy of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine—a tumultuous conclusion to this timeless story of love, power, ambition, and betrayal. Where the second novel in the trilogy, Time And Chance, dealt with the extraordinary politics of the twelfth century, climaxing with the murder of Thomas Becket and Henry’s confrontation with the Church and self-imposed exile to Ireland, Devil’s Brood centers on the implosion of a family. And because it is a royal family whose domains span the English Channel and whose alliances encompass the Christian world, that collapse will have dire consequences. This is a story of betrayal as Henry’s three eldest sons and his wife enter into a rebellion against him, aligning themselves with his bitterest enemy, King Louis of France. But it is also the story of a great king whose brilliance forged an empire but whose personal blind spots led him into the most serious mistake of his life. Sharon Kay Penman has created a novel of tremendous power, as two strong-willed, passionate people clash, a family divides, and a marriage ends in all but name. Curiously, it is a novel without villains—only flawed human beings caught up in misperceptions and bad judgment calls. Most devastating to Henry was not his sons’ rebellion but his wife’s betrayal in joining them. How could it happen that two people whose love for each other was all consuming end up as bitter adversaries? That is the heart of Penman’s tale in Devil’s Brood.

In When Christ and His Saints Slept, acclaimed historical novelist Sharon Kay Penman portrayed all the deceit, danger, and drama of Henry II's ascension to the throne. Now, in Time and Chance,  she continues the ever-more-captivating tale.It was medieval England's immortal marriage--Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II, bound by passion and ambition, certain to leave a legacy of greatness. But while lust would divide them, it was friendship--and ultimately faith--that brought bloodshed into their midst. It began with Thomas Becket, Henry's closest confidant, and his elevation to be Archbishop of Canterbury. It ended with a perceived betrayal that made a royal murder seem inevitable. Along the way were enough scheming, seductions, and scandals to topple any kingdom but their own. . . .Only Sharon Kay Penman can re-create this truly tumultuous time--and capture the couple who loved power as much as each other . . . and a man who loved God most of all.\

They were called "The Devil's Brood," though never to their faces. They were the four surviving sons of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. With two such extraordinary parents, much was expected of them.But the eldest-charming yet mercurial-would turn on his father and, like his brother Geoffrey, meet an early death. When Henry died, Richard would take the throne and, almost immediately, set off for the Holy Land. This was the Third Crusade, and it would be characterized by internecine warfare among the Christians and extraordinary campaigns against the Saracens. And, back in England, by the conniving of Richard's youngest brother, John, to steal his crown.

"Penman's characters are so shrewdly imagined, so full of resonant human feeling that they seem to be on the page....Most compelling is the portrait of the Welsh as wild and rugged as their landscape."SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLEHere, alive from the pages of history, is the compelling tale of a Celtic society ruled by Llewelyn, Prince of Wales, on a collison course with a feudal realm of Edward I. WIth this last book in the extraordinary trilogy that began with HERE BE DRAGONS and continued in FALLS THE SHADOW, Sharon Kay Penman has written a beautiful and moving conclusion to her medieval saga. For everyone who has read the earlier books in this incomparable series or ever wanted to experience the rich tapestry of British history and lore, this bold and romantic adventure must be read.

Thirteenth-century Wales is a divided country, ever at the mercy of England's ruthless, power-hungry King John. Then Llewelyn, Prince of North Wales, secures an uneasy truce with England by marrying the English king's beloved, illegitimate daughter, Joanna. Reluctant to wed her father's bitter enemy, Joanna slowly grows to love her charismatic and courageous husband who dreams of uniting Wales. But as John's attentions turn again and again to subduing Wales--and Llewelyn--Joanna must decide to which of these powerful men she owes her loyalty and love.A sweeping novel of power and passion, loyalty and lives, this is the book that began the trilogy that includes FALLS THE SHADOW and THE RECKONING.

A.D. 1135. As church bells tolled for the death of England's King Henry I, his barons faced the unwelcome prospect of being ruled by a woman: Henry's beautiful daughter Maude, Countess of Anjou. But before Maude could claim her throne, her cousin Stephen seized it. In their long and bitter struggle, all of England bled and burned.Sharon Kay Penman's magnificent fifth novel summons to life a spectacular medieval tragedy whose unfolding breaks the heart even as it prepares the way for splendors to come—the glorious age of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Plantagenets that would soon illumine the world.

A glorious novel of the controversial Richard III - a monarch betrayed in life by his allies and betrayed in death by history.In this beautifully rendered modern classic, Sharon Kay Penman redeems Richard III - vilified as the bitter, twisted, scheming hunchback who murdered his nephews, the princes in the Tower - from his maligned place in history with a dazzling combination of research and storytelling. Born into the treacherous courts of fifteenth-century England, in the midst of what history has called The War of the Roses, Richard was raised in the shadow of his charismatic brother, King Edward IV. Loyal to his friends and passionately in love with the one woman who was denied him, Richard emerges as a gifted man far more sinned against than sinning. This magnificent retelling of his life is filled with all of the sights and sounds of battle, the customs and lore of the fifteenth century, the rigors of court politics, and the passions and prejudices of royalty.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;Or close the wall up with our English dead!In peace there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility:But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger;Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage;Then lend the eye a terrible aspect. "Once more into the breach I go with tickets to see a new production of Shakespeare's Henry V. But before that event, I have started to wonder how much of the real Henry is the character that the Bard of Avon portrays. “At his court, there was a sense that everything good, noble, virtuous, and worth loving hung by a slender thread, and might vanish in an instant.”For those who have come to know me through my reviews on Goodreads, you may have detected an interest in historical biography and/or a tendency to drill down on the tumultuous period of English history from about 1300 to 1600. Ian Mortimer, that illustrious historian whose many works I have already sampled, tackles the King and event that Shakespeare found so worthy. This is real history with the historian acting as detective. There are few contemporary diaries or memoires. English historians of that period and later may have “cherry-picked” the facts to suit their themes of nobility and heroism. Mortimer, like a forensic accountant, burrows into the ledgers and other records to develop a quite different and more robust portrait of this man who burst on the European scene when his father, Henry IV, died. This is history, not a novel like Wolf Hall or a miniseries like The Tudors. Yet, we are treated to all the elements that a good historical novel usually mixes: secret pacts; plots to overthrow the king(s); religious battles; propaganda (spinning the truth); sieges; battles; unpredictable twists of fate. All the elements are present except love/romance. Henry didn’t have much interest in women; he seemed to substitute for them with religious fervor. There is a lot going on in the year 1415 in Western Civilization. With respect to events leading up to the Battle of Agincourt in late October: Most relevant was the gathering in Constance for several months of prelates and temporal rulers that was held to reform the Roman Catholic Church and to reconcile the fact that three separate popes existed at this time; also relevant, because Henry V was a very orthodox Christian, were the various reformers such as John Wycliffe and Jan Hus that were viewed as serious threats by many; and, Henry V’s claims (some from the broken lineage of royalty in France and England) of dominion over substantial portions of France ranging from Normandy and Flanders in the north through Burgundy and to Gascony and Aquitaine in South. Mortimer’s work is replete with secret missions, covert treaties and showcase negotiations as Henry moves to contest with the French the claims that he has made. Mortimer spends time setting the stage with the brutal acts of John the Fearless, a duke who wanted to be King of France and would do or say anything to achieve that goal. We follow all the threads as the year unfolds through Mortimer’s skillful examination of original source material. For instance, as he examines one of the most complete sources, the Issue Rolls, he comes across a cornucopia of payments. He is able to divide them into categories: administration; reimbursement of messengers’ (not just your FedEx type) and ambassadors’ expenses; rewards for good service; measures for the defense of the Welsh and Scottish borders and Calais; money handed over to the king’s chamber, and, to some extent, gathering supplies for his coming venture in France. This is merely a jumping off for Mortimer. He tracks down who was with whom, and when. He fits it into the larger context of what was happening in parts of Britain and in Europe. Then he speculates as to the purpose of a particular line item. Very entertaining … and enlightening.  One of the nice touches that Mortimer brings to this day by day narrative is the saga of a debt that Henry's father never repaid. Two guys arrive from Poland and are passed from one bureaucrat to another. Weeks then months roll by and they journey to London, Westminster, Winchester, etc. with dwindling hope of any success. Henry wanted to invade France in May to give his troops time to conquer and live off the land. Negotiations (pro forma) with the French King just kept on pushing the date back (The French knew what could occur.) Now it is almost August of 1415 and the English ships are still in port! And, Henry finds that there may be a treasonous plot at home. All his plans are up for grabs.He presses on. (No spoiler alert because you know your history, or at least your Shakespeare.) He picks Harfleur as his landing point. He will bring the city to its knees; they will recognize him as the rightful King of France; he will use Harfleur as his new port (The river, Seine, leads right to Paris!); he will march against the French at Rouen; and, after victory, get the Kingdom, get the Princess, and return home by Christmas!What could go wrong? Tick tock; tick tock. Henry departs months after he had planned. Harfleur isn’t an easy victory. His supplies have dwindled. He is bogged down in a siege in September and his troops are so closely packed that dysentery runs through them like “sh*t through a goose.” He loses about 20% of his force to disease before leaving Harfleur. It is getting colder, rainier, and the crops that he hoped his troops could live off of are long harvested. This campaign was to demonstrate that God supported the English cause. Has God forsaken Henry? Should he pack up, with his small victory and go home until spring? Can he defend the broken town of Harfleur? If he does, can he survive an encounter with the French with his remaining troops?His advisors say (almost to a man): “Go home and call it off until next Spring.” Rejecting that advice, Henry seemingly has to prove that God has not forsaken him. He will challenge the Dauphin to a hand-to-hand combat to settle the crown of France. And, he will march his remaining troops through Normandy to Calais to prove his faith and purpose. You probably know how that turned out, but Mortimer’s account is riveting. Mortimer’s methodology of viewing activities day-by-day is a wonderful tool for providing, not only new information, but a different way to evaluate existing information. He also does a creditable job of wading through the dross of many centuries full of praise to give us as good a picture of what actually took place at Agincourt. There is a lot to sift through, and he makes use of both English and French sources. He praises Henry for his courage and determination. He notes Henry’s flaws and his willingness (against chivalric codes, and due process) to cut corners when he deems it expedient. Thus, we have his rush to judgment on Lord Scrope, whom he hangs when Scrope was only doing his best to discover the extent of a plot to depose Henry. And, we have Henry’s decision to kill all his prisoners after the first battle at Agincourt because he fears that the French will re-engage. There is no shortage of subterfuge and underhanded dealing among the great lords and prelates of Europe. Henry may have not been the most ruthless or the most adept. I lingered over the details in this book, because Mortimer is very open to considering these facets from more than one perspective. There seems to be no hidden agenda or preconception on his part, only a desire to examine what is now available. Conclusion: Henry’s luck and organizational skills were sufficient to bring him the thing he desired most: A sign of God’s favor for him and his goals both spiritual and temporal. He got his victory and almost changed the direction of French history by establishing his line for the French throne. Yet, we see a man who is prideful and enamored with his own power. This shaped how he dealt brutally with the Lollards, and how he handled the plot against him (including giving Lord Scope the ultimate punishment of death and destruction of his estate though he was likely innocent) and his decision to put to death the Agincourt prisoners, and his revision of the terms of surrender he gave to the French at Harfleur. England lost what Henry conquered during the next several decades. And, the country was again plunged into disorder, both by Henry’s inability to assure his line of succession and by the immense debt that he ran up while adventuring…mistakes that neither his father, nor Edward III can be faulted for. Thus, it is difficult to side with historians such as Curry and McFarlane that Henry V was England’s greatest ruler, even if he provided, arguably, England’s greatest victory.

He ordered his uncle to be beheaded; he usurped his father's throne; he taxed his people more than any other previous king, and he started a war which lasted for more than a hundred years. Yet for centuries Edward III (1327-77) was celebrated as the most brilliant of all English monarchs. In this first full study of his character and life, Ian Mortimer shows how under Edward the feudal kingdom of England became a highly organised nation, capable of raising large revenues and deploying a new type of projectile-based warfare, culminating in the crushing victory over the French at Crecy. Yet under his rule England also experienced its longest period of domestic peace in the middle ages, giving rise to a massive increase of the nation's wealth through the wool trade, with huge consequences for society, art and architecture. It is to Edward that England owes its system of parliamentary representation, its local justice system, its national flag and the recognition of English as the language of the nation. Nineteenth century historians saw in Edward the opportunity to decry a warmonger, and painted him as a self-seeking, rapacious, tax-gathering conqueror. Yet as this book shows, beneath the strong warrior king was a compassionate, conscientious and often merciful man - resolute yet devoted to his wife, friends and family. He emerges as a strikingly modern figure, to whom many will be able to relate - the father of both the English people and the English nation.

An author with a strong track record now tackles the turbulent reign of Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king.By 1405, King Henry IV had already survived at least eight plots to dethrone or kill him in the first six years of his reign. Henry had not always been so unpopular. The son of John of Gaunt, he was courteous, confident, well-educated, musical and spiritually fervent. In 1399, at the age of thirty-two, he was enthusiastically greeted as the saviour of the realm when he ousted from power the insecure and tyrannical King Richard II.Therein lay Henry’s weakness. By making himself King he had broken God’s law and left himself starkly open to criticism. Enemies everywhere tried to take advantage of his questionable right to the crown. Such overwhelming threats transformed him from a hero into a duplicitous murderer: a king prepared to go to any lengths to save his family and his throne.But against all the odds, what Henry achieved was to take a poorly ruled nation, establish a new Lancastrian dynasty, and introduce the principle that a king must act in accordance with Parliament. He might not have been the most glorious king England ever had, but he was one of the bravest, and certainly the greatest survivor of them all.

This is the extraordinary story of how the quest to try to crack the mystery of the Megalithic Yard - an ancient unit of linear measurement - led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations such as the Sumerians and the Egyptians. There must have been a Civilization One. The authors show how this very precise unit of 82.966656cm, proven to have been used in the construction of thousands of megalithic structures in Britain and France, was derived from observing the rate of the spin of the Earth - based on a form of geometry that had 366 degrees to match the 366 rotations of the Earth in a year. They reveal how this is part of an integrated system, far more advanced than anything used today, which forms the basis of both the Imperial and the Metric systems. The ancient scientists understood the dimensions, motions and relationships of the Earth, Moon and Sun - they measured the solar system and even understood how the speed of light was integrated into the movements of our planet. The implications of these revelations go far beyond the fascination of discovering

s/t: Uncovering the Secrets of Stonehenge, Noah's Flood and the Dawn of CivilizationModern scientific investigations show that Earth has been hit many times by objects such as comets and meteorites. Laboratory work on comet impact effects demonstrates that comets could cause tidal waves to exceed three miles tall and near 400 miles per hour. In the last 10,000 years, there have been two impacts of such proportion: a seven-fold impact into all the world's oceans around 7640 B.C., and a single impact into the Mediterranean Sea about 3150 B.C., the time of Noah's Flood. Uriel's Machine proves ancient Europeans not only survived the 7640 B.C. flood, but developed a highly advanced civilization dedicated to predicting and preparing for future meteoric impacts. Building an international network of sophisticated astronomical observatories, these ancient astronomers created accurate solar, lunar, and planetary calendars, measured the diameter of the Earth, and precisely predicted comet collisions years in advance. This was the true purpose of megalithic structures such as Stonehenge. In 3150 B.C., the ancients' predictions proved true, and their device- Uriel's Machine-allowed the reconstruction of civilization in a shattered world. Uriel's Machine also presents evidence that: * There was a single global language on Earth * A single female was a common ancestor to all living humans * Angels bred with human women to create The Watchers, giant half-human beings * The oral tradition of Freemasonry records real events A fascinating study of humankind's past, present, and future, Urie/'s Machine proves the world was indeed flooded, but survived wholly due to these ancient Europeans, their heavenly knowledge, and one remarkable machine.

Christopher Knight is an author who has written several books dealing with theories such as 366-degree geometry and has argued in favour of the origins of Freemasonry being based on the rituals once used by the Order of the Knights Templar.
