Untested and without a lot of experience, he has to make a career and life and death decision and live with the consequences.

How he put his fist through the oak-panel of the game-room door; how, when Long Merridew was carrying the ball, he caught up Merridew, ball and all, and ran swiftly past every opponent to the goal. It did not seem fit to us that such a one as he should trouble his head about spondees and dactyls, or care to know who signed Magna Charta. When he said in open class that King Alfred was the man, we little boys all felt that very likely it was so, and that perhaps Jim knew more about it than the man who wrote the book.

In a hidden chamber beneath an estate in Zurich, a tomblike vault is discovered containing the Unholy Trinity: Satan, the Antichrist and the False Prophet.

The agreement enabled Vietnam to retain specific POWs with skills vital to rebuilding that country.

Eddie Hawkins, Browning M2 .50 caliber gunner, is good at his work. Some say the best in the business, although he still has plenty of demons to fight. Doubts about his ability still bug him, and things get worse with the arrival of a new platoon lieutenant determined to make his mark. No matter what the cost in men and morale.

Facing court-martial for disobeying orders, Lieutenant Samuel Kingston despairs when avaricious aristocrats imprison his father for a crime born of Samuel’s clash with one of their own as a boy. The young Anglo-Irishman’s only hope of freeing both is accepting a commission assisting William Walker and his filibusters win Nicaragua’s bloody civil war.

Frank is a corporate man who is caught up in the labyrinth of office politics, conflicting interests, and the quest for profits, which afflict most large US defense corporations. He is also torn between loyalty to his wife and the love of another woman who happens to be the daughter of the majority stockholder in this multi-billion dollar corporation.

Army ranger Jack Grant and his unit mount an operation to rob a train inside Pakistan. They find senior Taliban commanders carrying cases stuffed with documents and money. They also contain a clue to a catastrophic new development: a new ally in their perpetual search for bigger, more powerful weapons. An ally prepared to supply them with nuclear devices and weapons with the power to devastate entire American cities. North Korea.

Joe Tyler lost everything when his wife and son are killed in a mall shooting. A former SEAL, and contractor for the CIA’s Alpha Squad program in Afghanistan, he has vowed never to go back. That was until 9/11. His older brother is the only family he has left, a successful broker working in the World Trade Centre when it is hit. Tyler has nothing left to live for. Except a burning desire for revenge. With the image of the bearded Saudi psycho who ordered the attack in the forefront of his mind, he returns to Afghanistan.

When the rebel leaders prove harder to eliminate than the rest of the mob, Lord Edward is helped in his quest by Pope Adrian V. In thanks, he agrees to join the Crusades with King Louis IX of France.

He calls upon his trusted comrade Gerald to lead a crusade of his own, to enlist the aid of Abaqa Khan, a Mongol leader and much needed ally. With miles of Muslim-controlled land to cross, can Gerald make the journey unscathed, and will his efforts help to turn the war?

Less than two months after the devastating fall of Stalingrad, the German Wehrmacht is once again attacking, the prize of retaking Kharkov and Belgorod beyond enticing the forward units in their advance. With virtually catastrophic losses in the fall of the city that holds Stalin's name, the new Tiger tanks and Panzer IVs begin to near their goals, hope beginning to once again to rise in their crews' chests.

When the Spear of Destiny is stolen by members of the Islamic State with its leader believing that the possessor of the Holy Lance has the ability to command powerful legions, they quickly find themselves in a position of "no escape" inside a towering skyscraper. Now that the power of the Holy Lance is in the hands of Ali Mustafa, he now finds himself with the opportunity to test its value and strength against those who dare oppose him.

Follow Thomas Miller through the war years as Commando, original member of the Special Air Service, instructor for the SOE, and through to his capture after the disastrous allied attack on Arnhem, Operation Market Garden. Thrown into a concentration camp, he sees no future until he meets a very peculiar officer of the SS, a British-hating South African Boer with a vendetta of his own. Inspired largely by real events and exhaustive research, I am hoping to tell a different story.

In 1940, with the British army in disarray after the evacuation from Dunkirk, invasion seemed a very real possibility. As a precaution, the government decided to protect the national gold reserves by sending most of the bullion to Canada on fast ships that ran the gauntlet of the U boat fleets. But a lot of gold bars and other treasures were hidden in England. In the fog of war, this treasure was lost. Now, finally, a clue has emerged that might lead to the hiding place. The government needs the gold back if the country is not to plunge into a huge financial crisis.

Abu Habibi left the Afghan National Army to make his fortune. His scheme: to pillage the nation’s museums of valuable artefacts, killing any who stand in his way. The plunder is put on sale to eager overseas buyers. Habibi’s murderous rampage has attracted the scum and villainy of the nation, eager to participate in the robberies for a share of the loot. In a nation where many of the Islamic warlords are little more than cutthroats and butchers, Habibi is known as a coming man.

To uncover the truth, Quayle must keep her safe from the threat of a powerful enemy in a globetrotting race against time. Nowhere is safe.
