“With Nelson they were inspired, not by any care or pretence on his part, but by his genuine nature. Whatever was his was the best. The effect of this was that any officer or man coming under his command presently felt that his chief considered him one of the finest fellows that ever lived.”

Admiral Lord Nelson has become an enduring symbol of British heroism and naval power.

Trafalgar. Copenhagen. The Nile. His victories resonate as clearly now as they did upon his death in 1805.

But in an age of naval heroes, what makes Nelson so captivating?

In this biography John Knox Laughton attempts to peel away the layers of fiction and look at the real Nelson.

Combining Nelson’s naval achievements with his personal life, Laughton creates an astounding image of the man, the sailor and the legend.

Meticulously researched, Nelson shows the Admiral’s humanity and that the figures in his life were human also, including the infamous Lady Hamilton.

You will see that Nelson’s accomplishments seem even grander, more spectacular, when you realise they were done by a real person who gave first his eye, then his arm and finally his life for his country.

First published in 1895 by the most prolific Nineteenth Century Naval historian, Nelson is a timeless biography of a British symbol whose fame is immortal.

Praise for John Knox Laughton

‘Laughton created modern naval history.’ – Andrew Lambert

Sir John Knox Laughton (1830–1915) was a British naval historian who wrote more than 900 naval biographies. He began his career as civilian naval instructor before becoming a professor of Modern History at King’s College London. Upon his Death John Know Laughton was buried at sea in the Thames Estuary.

“It took me a year to discover why Nixon wanted to be President and what he would actually do with the office if he gained it. By that time he had won the nomination and seemed assured of winning. Nevertheless, I resigned.” – Richard J Whalen

America during the 1960s was a country in turmoil: it was rife with racial hatred, assassinations and urban mob violence, along with questions about the ongoing war in Vietnam.

It became apparent that change was needed, and in 1967 Richard J. Whalen found himself being asked by a Republican hopeful if he would join his team.

As one of his “bright young men” Whalen played a part in the attempt to transform Nixon from a “loser,” yet the ability to merge politics with personality is still an issue to this day.

Nixon’s insecurity gradually led to the environment around him being controlled by men willing to do whatever he wished: this would contribute, in part, to Whalen’s resignation.

For all Nixon’s talk of “sweeping change,” the planning was not there and doubts crept in: was the administration doing anything about the issues that saw him elected president?

With a new introduction for this edition, ‘Catch the Falling Flag’ is a fascinating insight into the struggle for the presidency, critically examining how Nixon made his comeback, his ensuing administration … and why he fell.

Richard J. Whalen is a best-selling author, a path-breaking investigative journalist, and the founder of an international news service and public affairs company.

Forty-two year old Helen returns one summer to Zakynthos, the Greek island where her life took a dramatic turn two years earlier.

She brings with her Chloe, her sixteen year old daughter, who is fighting demons of her own.

Relations between mother and daughter are strained, as they struggle to understand the different ways they are coping with their family’s tragedy.

The death of Helen’s husband Philip has left them shattered and seeking comfort at the hotel where they spent their final family holiday all together.

But has Helen come to Zakynthos to confront the ghosts of her past, or to revive the affair which nearly tore her family apart once already?

For the married hotel owner, Nikos, is the man she nearly left her family for two years before, lost in her all-consuming passion for him.

Seeing the love of her life again makes Helen question not only her future, but her past as well.

Should she resist her feelings for Nikos, or is he her last chance at happiness?

And what if her affair is not the only betrayal lurking in her family’s past?

‘Echoes in the Sand’ is a heart-breaking story of love and loss, and the war between the head and the heart.

Gwyneth Williams works fulltime as a Scientific Officer in the University of Leicester’s medical school and writes in her lunch breaks, and any other time she can find. One day she dreams of owning a villa on a Greek island and writing all day by the pool. In the meantime she lives in Leicester with her husband and daughter when she’s home from university, and a stray cat who adopted them one cold Saturday in October.

An inconvenient wife, a suspicious husband, a lover who refuses to leave — the flip-side of love can all too easily turn out to be murderous hatred.

In trunks, under floorboards, in remote ravines — even in their own beds — the bodies of those for whom their lovers’ passion proved fatal have been found, and often through the stench of decay.

One ingenious killer boiled down his wife’s remains in a vat at his sausage factory.

Another throttled and incinerated a perfect stranger in order to stage his own death and thus escape the charge of bigamy.

Then there were the lesbian schoolgirls who bludgeoned to death the mother of one of them with a brick in a stocking. Her crime: she had tried to keep them apart.

Whilst one woman kept her lover in a secret attic for years until he shot her husband dead.

A dark narrative, Adrian Vincent expertly brings together some of the world’s most notorious killer.

In sixteen fascinating case histories, Fatal Passions tells the true stories of those who have literally loved someone to death.

Adrian Vincent worked in Fleet Street for twenty-seven years, becoming managing editor of IPC’s educational magazines. He is the author of many books on art and antiques, novels and true crime.

Exodus: Machine Wars: Book 1: Supernova is the launch of a new chapter in the Saga.

Not all the action occurs on the main front. Space is too big for that kind of restriction.

The Klassekians are a gifted race, with an ability which could help the Empire in its war against the Ca'cadasans. Just entering space, the species is still torn apart by religious and nationalistic schisms. They are on the verge of a nuclear war. And that is the least of their problems. For six light months from their star system is a blue giant, and the timer on its life is just about to hit zero.

Exploration Command ships discover the civilization, and it is soon apparent that this is one that needs saving. But saving the six billion people on the planet is a daunting task, especially with a killing wave of radiation a year and a half away, six months after the blue giant explodes. And one of the main religious factions of the planet sees their destruction as a cause for celebration, the return of their God. Now the humans must not only battle time, but the politics and religious fanaticism of a fatalistic people who do not desire rescue, and are determined to stop those who do. Add to this the mysterious alien artifacts that rise from surface to above the atmosphere, and the mission becomes interesting in the most hazardous manner.

And in the darkness, wait things that humanity thought they were well rid of, probing the human fleet, and threatening the great Empire base at Bolthole.

A dangerous game of seduction...

She could be the devil disguised as an angel. But to get the answers to solving two very important and personal cold cases, FBI agent Nick Campion is willing to sleep with the enemy. Yeah, call the situation like it is--improper, blurring the lines . . . inching closer toward a supernatural world he's not prepared for. No worries though. He's already given up his career to tail the woman he despises, a woman as cold as the month she was named after. There's nothing more for him to lose, except for his heart and soul.

A destiny they can't deny...

Determined to save her kind from the brink of extinction, demon hunter December Raine agrees to get real personal with the human ex-special agent who could be the answer to unlocking her ability to grant supernatural powers to her kind's descendants. Unable to control her feelings when around him, she shows him the supernatural side of her, further putting his life in danger from her kind. When she offers an unconventional and far-out permanent arrangement that can save his life, will he accept or reject her? She has everything to lose, including her heart and soul.

As lover, wife and widow of Sir Walter Ralegh, Bess was the hidden force behind his spectacular public achievements, the stable point in his turbulent private life, and the shrewd creator of his reputation after his death.

Having resisted being married off in her teens, she began a passionate and illicit sexual relationship with Ralegh in her twenties.

Her intelligence and business acumen were exceptional, despite having no rights as a woman (twice she built a fortune from nothing), and her remarkable emotional strength sustained her through personal tragedy and political disasters that broke many others, including her own husband.

A woman in a man’s world, Bess’s ambitious pursuit of power and wealth, and justice for herself and her children, make compelling reading.

‘Anna Beer has lovingly restored Bess Ralegh to her rightful place among Elizabethan heroines. Brave, energetic, and resourceful to the point of audacity — Bess was a successful gambler against the odds. She rescued the reputation of her own husband, Sir Walter Ralegh, and now, four centuries later, Anna Beer has returned the favour.’ – Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire

‘[Anna Beer’s] eye for detail is outstanding.’ – Sunday Times

Anna, who lives in Oxford, spends most of her time researching and writing books about interesting people who lived in interesting times, but she also teaches Literature and Creative Writing -and takes time out to travel whenever she can.

Longley Base, 1940.

Three squadrons - two Hurricane and one Spitfire - are recovering at RAF Longley from the battles of the British retreat from France.

Pilots such as Officer Roy Taylor spend their days waiting for the telephone to ring and for someone to shout 'Scramble!'.

But they will not be kept waiting for long.

The enemy is preparing for a special mission, one that will hurt the Tommies close to home.

In the eyes of the enemy, the British did not have the planes to replace those destroyed, or the pilots to take the place of those killed, in battle.

It was time to deliver a final crushing blow.

Major Sepp von Hondorf delivers the orders: a hit-and-run raid, concentrating on the aerodromes and the radar stations on the South-East of England.

Their target: the Longley base. Their weapon: the deadly Ju 87 Stake dive-bomber.

But in the ensuing battles between the Allies and the Enemies, Officer Taylor is shot down, landing in occupied France.

His fellow pilots must set out to find and retrieve their lost friend.

Can the Spitfire squadron exact vengeance against the Stuka men before they are hit once more?

It will be a dangerous mission - one that will teach them the truth meaning of total war.

'Battle Climb' is an action-packed military thriller set during the build-up to the German invasion of England, and told with authentic and well-researched detail.

Praise for Richard Townshend Bickers:

'A thrilling page turner.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'Trade Off'.

Richard Townshend Bickers volunteered for the RAF on the outbreak of the second world war and served, with a Permanent Commission, for eighteen years.

The hate is deep. The death is slow. The cause is silent.

You know that Atlanta PD has given up on a case when they call in Dr. Damon Keane. The sleuth scientist is quietly famous in forensic circles for unraveling the most daunting technical puzzles, but this case is bewildering. Two people are already dead. The third victim, a priest, is dying by inches in an Atlanta hospital, and the cause is a complete mystery to doctors and detectives alike.

As if matters weren't strange enough, the dying priest's rosary beads have suddenly turned the color of blood.

Despite that bizarre transformation, Keane knows that he's not chasing something supernatural. The killer is a man—twisted by anger and a lust for vengeance—but still very much human. As the death toll mounts, the story races to London's Hyde Park and on to the edge of Siberia and a place once home to the world’s most secret atomic city. For all of his perception and skill, Keane is always one step behind.

Time is running out. The killer is making final preparations to unleash a cloud of death over the entire city of Atlanta. By now, Damon Keane has learned that the only way to take down this villain is to outmatch his cunning in a face-to-face showdown.
