Richard Mead has invited a traveller called Michael into his home before
an imminent storm is about to arrive. Michael, a Jew, tells Mead that
he is in search of a physician who knows how to cure a certain malady.
He refuses to tell Mead exactly what the malady is.
So, that evening to kill time, Richard tells Michael his story. Growing up, his best friend was
Wil Pitkin. As a young man, Wil was conflicted by a pale, which his
carpenter father was building for the church. It would separate those
of wealth from those of lesser value. Archbishop Laud had decreed that
all churches have a pale, and the king supported it. Wil was not sure
that he did, whereas, Richard felt that if the king decreed it, it must
be so.
King Charles has asked parliament for money to fight the Scots, but they
present him with a list of demands instead. He dissolved parliament as
a result. People begin to take sides. Madness ensues. In the
madness, Wil and Richard would accidentally kill the other’s
sweetheart. They now find themselves in opposition to each other and
fighting for the cause that they were against earlier; Wil a Royalist
Cavalier and Richard a Parliament Roundhead.
They confronted each other at the first battle between the two sides at
Edgehill. Fortunately, neither harmed the other. During the winter the
two sides sat and waited, using small raids to harass the other.
Before long, Wil was promoted to sergeant, while Richard rose to be a
cornet. In the coming months and battles, both would be promoted to
lieutenant.
Their next encounter would be at the Battle of Marston Moor. Each would
come out of the battle more bitter, but not unscathed. As a result of
that battle, at the beginning of 1645 Oliver Cromwell created the New
Model Army. By June, Wil was a captain, and at the Battle of Naseby,
where once again the bitterness between the two men would elevate. The
Roundheads were victorious and now the king was on his back foot.
Richard was made a captain, but by now the people were sick and tired of
the war.
In 1646, seeing no other option, King Charles surrendered to the Scots.
However, due to his arrogance, they turned him over to the English.
Parliament had hoped that he would acquiesce to their demands. He
refused. Parliament also had issues with the New Model Army, and
eventually it took control. On January 30th, 1649, Charles was
executed.
Cromwell was now in charge. Any Royalist who refuses to accept the new
regime is put to death. Wil decides to escape to France, but before
Richard can catch him on the coast, he is captured by pirates. Their
lives now follow a very divergent path. Will the two men ever meet
again, and if so, what will happen?
Author M. J. Harris’ historical novel tells the story of the English
civil war and two combatants, and their story beyond. The different
paths taken by the men is full of excitement and danger. A quite
enjoyable read.

Spitfire
By the 1930s, the RAF was feeling left behind by developments in Germany so requested
the development of a suitable fighter. Supermarine came up with a slim,
aerodynamic plane, with wings slim enough to carry four machine guns.
Rolls-Royce’s Merlin engine was to power it. What to name the new
plane? The chairman of Vickers, who owned Supermarine suggested naming
it after his daughter Ann, ‘a little spitfire’. On that whim, a legend
was born.
The day after its maiden flight, Hitler’s troops marched into the Rhineland. In June of 1936, the RAF ordered 310 Spitfires and 600 Hawker Hurricanes. Meanwhile in Germany, Willie Messerschmidt has developed the Me109. By early 1937, the Me109 was at war in Spain helping Franco’s nationalist government. Production of the Me109 was far advanced compared to that of the Spitfire, and the Luftwaffe had many more pilots at the ready.
On September 3, 1939 Britain declared war in Germany. It wasn’t long after this that the first Spitfires were in action, however there weren’t very many available. Fighter Command quickly learned that the machine guns had to be refocused to be able to down enemy planes.
When Germany unleashed its Blitzkrieg on France, head of Fighter Command, Sir Hugh Dowding warned that if the Spitfires were sent to France, not only could France fall, but so would Britain. Churchill listened to him. The Spitfires would be used at Dunkirk, but many of the soldiers on the ground thought that the RAF had abandoned them. The German airmen knew otherwise.
Hitler was incensed that Churchill planned to never surrender. He ordered invasion plans to be made, but first the British Air Force had to be dealt with. Could the small numbers of the RAF withstand the might of the Luftwaffe, which was now just across the English Channel?
The Spitfire needed pilots and they came from every class of society, and throughout the British Empire, plus many other nations. Some of the fiercest pilots were those from countries occupied by the Nazis. Death stalked them all, although they tried to forget about it and get on with the job.
Goering’s plans changed when Hitler demanded the bombing of London after the RAF bombed Berlin. Before that time, the Luftwaffe had been concentrating on the air bases, causing much damage and wearing out the pilots. Now, the Hurricanes could focus on the German bombers while the Spitfires concentrated on the fighters of the Luftwaffe.
Once the Battle of Britain had been won, the RAF planned to take the war to the Luftwaffe. As the war progressed, new versions of the Spitfire were introduced. The Germans responded with the Fockewulf 190, which in turn was superior to the Spitfire.
1941 saw the Nazis invade the Soviet Union, which in turn took much of the Luftwaffe east. Late in the year saw the bombing of Pearl Harbour, resulting in Americans wanting into the war to fly the Spitfire. They had no confidence in their own P-38, and wanted to be flying the Spitfire.
Men weren’t the only ones who fell in love with the Spitfire. Women did too, and with their capabilities, many were hired to fly Spitfires from factories to air bases.
The Mark IX was built to out perform the Folke-Wulf 190, and with an enhanced engine, cannon and machine guns it did, throughout all the theatres of war that they fought in.
Author John Nichol’s history of the Spitfire isn’t just a story about the plane; it’s a story that would not be complete without the stories of the men and women who flew it. The stories are of love for the plane, stories of its capabilities and of course stories of combat, life and death stories. This reader felt as though he was in the plane with the pilots. Sadly many of them are gone, but their stories live on in this book. I highly recommend this book for any fan of aviation, history and of the brave men and women who served in these fierce little planes.

Sword of Kings
Uthred of Bebbanburg has lost two fishing vessels to raiders, so he
plans a hunting expedition. He receives word that there are four ships
at sea that are charging a fee in his name. It can mean only one thing,
that someone is trying to sow discord between him and the Scots.
When he captures a couple of the ships in question, he learns that they had been sent north to kill him. One of the prisoners turns out to be Aethelwulf, brother to Uthred’s daughter-in-law. Uthred had also sworn an oath to kill Aethelwulf’s elder brother Aethelhelm to prevent the throne from falling into his hands, so that it would go to Aethelstan instead.
Shortly afterwards Uthred receives a message from Eadgifu, who is married to King Edward. She asks for Uthred’s help in protecting her two young sons. She knows that when Edward dies, Aethelhelm will try to kill them to prevent them from being in line to the throne. When Uthred’s crew saves Eadgifu and her sons, she informs them that Edward’s plan was to divide his kingdom in two. Aethelstan is only to have part of it. Could this mean civil war now that Edward is dead? Also, would the Witan confirm Aethelstan as King of Mercia?
There were two options for Uthred; take Eadgifu to his home or take her to Lundene where Aethelstan’s troops held the city. He chooses the latter. What will they find in the city?
Author Bernard Cornwell has plenty of action in the city and beyond for Uthred and his compatriots. None of it will be easy, but it will mean that a new king is on the throne of a unified country, just as King Alfred had wanted. This historical novel is well written, full of action and a jolly good read.

Blood in Eden
Sister Fidelma and her partner Eadulf are on their way home to Cashel
when they come upon a lynching in progress. Only Fidelma’s
authoritative voice prevents a man from being killed. A new priest to
the area, Brother Gadra, seems to be the one behind the lynching, while
the young magistrate, Fethmac, has been restrained by some of the men.
Once it is known who Fidelma is, the populace melts away, but Brither
Gadra maintains his belligerent attitude.
The man has been accused of killing a man and his family. Fidelma plans to stay and hold a court to determine his guilt or innocence. The following day, Fidelma begins her investigation. When Eadulf examines the bodies, he discovers that either two different weapons were used or there were two killers. One weapon is found nearby and the second in the suspect’s wagon.
On the night of the funeral, a surprise claimant to the property of the victims shows up, plus there is news that the suspect has escaped. When Fidelma examines the place where he has been kept, it quickly becomes apparent that he had had help to escape. Unfortunately, that help also tried to kill him.
How many more murders or attempted murders will Fidelma and Eadulf have to investigate before they get to the truth? Author Peter Tremayne has written another complex historical murder mystery full of knots, which must be unravelled in order to find the true culprit. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Triumph in Dust
Constantine, Emperor of the Roman Empire, has promised to protect
Christians no matter where they are in the world. With that in mind,
and since the Christians in Persia are complaining about their
treatment, he plans on going to war with Persia.
He wants Aurelius Castus to prepare the army, even though Castus had retired ten years earlier. Although Castus had left the army in conflict with Constantine, he decides to accept the task. He hires Diogenes, his old friend, as his personal secretary. When they arrive in Antioch, Castus realises that his task will not be easy for a number of reasons.
While on patrol to examine the preparedness of the forts at the edge of the empire, Castus’ group is attacked. How did anyone know that he was there? There must be a spy somewhere in his travels passing on information to the enemy.
When he meets with the leaders of the small tribes who support Rome, Castus is surprised when one of the leaders is a woman. Hind is the regent for her young son, and she wants to be named overall leader of the tribes.
Within days, a second spy is discovered. The note sent by this spy accuses Castus of being old and weak. This spurs on second thoughts for Castus as he heads back to Antioch. Shortly after arriving there news arrives of the death of Constantine.
Who is in charge now? His three sons and their cousin? Will they share power or fight amongst themselves? What of the war that was planned with Persia? Within a short time news arrives that Persia is on the march against the empire. There is only one thing to do and that is defy the dead emperor’s orders and prepare to repel an invasion.
Castus marches east with an army. He finds that one of his commanders has disobeyed orders and taken on the might of the Persian army and been decimated. His only hope is to hold the fortified city of Nisibus and hope that more troops will come to their aid.
The Persians will use ingenious methods to try to break into the city besides countless men. Can the Roman garrison and the citizens stop them?
Author Ian Ross’ historical novel is well researched, exciting, full of battle scenes, which will get the reader’s heart racing. A thoroughly enjoyable read based on historical facts, and hard to put down.

Conspiracy
Giordano Bruno has returned to Paris hoping to get the papal nuncio to
work towards having his excommunication lifted. He no longer has
grieving England, so he is hoping that King Henri will support him once
again.
Not long after his arrival, a priest, who was a friend of Bruno’s is attacked and left for dead. Just before he dies, he whispers one word to Bruno “Circe”. What is it a hint of?
When he goes to his friend’s home in hopes of finding something, he only finds charred papers. One small piece has Circe written on it. However, before he can search further her is interrupted by two men. He manages to escape only to be accosted by two others outside his own lodging. They take him to meet King Henri.
The king tells him that the Duke of Guise is calling him a heretic because he allows heretics to live. Therefore the king himself is a heretic. The king asks Bruno to find the killer of the priest.
Bruno is on the verge of capturing the killer when things are turned asunder and he finds himself imprisoned. Fortunately, it isn’t long before he is bailed. However, when Bruno asks the identity of the man who has bailed him out, he is shocked to find the man is a man known to work for Mary Queen of Scots, Charles Paget!
Paget takes him to the English ambassador who tells him that Walshingham has suggested that Bruno can be of service to him. Was the man who had bailed him to be trusted despite the ambassador’s assurance? A coded letter from Walshingham tells Bruno otherwise and to be wary.
Paget later comes upon Bruno just after he has discovered his prime suspect dead. Paget takes Bruno to the adult of Guise, who threatens him with torture if he doesn’t tell everything he knows. At the end of their conversation, Guise tells Bruno to find the killer.
Author S. J. Parris has many trials and tribulations ahead for Bruno, several of which come from those tasking him with finding the killer. In his quest he will find many conspiracies, but such seems to be the life in Paris. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read, and the reader is left wondering what Bruno’s next adventure will be.

Blood Lines
DI Kim Stone and DS Bryant have been called out to a murder scene; a
woman has been found in the passenger seat of a car fatally stabbed.
Forensics are able to get a hair with a follicle from the victim, which
could point to the killer.
Something doesn’t seem right about the case, so Stone wants the family checked out.
Two days into the case and Stone and Bryant are called out to another murder scene. In this case a young woman who was a drug addict, has been stabbed in the same manner as the first victim. The two victims are very different.
Stone also has her former nemesis, Dr. Alexandra Thorne, insinuating herself into her life, despite being in prison. Bryant warns Stone not to let Thorne get the better of her.
Then they get news of an earlier similar death; this time of a little boy. Stone then comes to the realisation as to what connects the three victims.
Author Angela Marsons’ thriller is well written, and she knows how to build tension in the reader. Definitely well worth the read by anyone who enjoys murder mysteries.

Death Ship
DS George Valentine has a task of watching for a killer, but this one is
no ordinary killer. A little old lady had passed out candies at a bus
stop, and one older gentleman had died as a result. The candy had
contained strychnine.
Meanwhile DI Peter Shaw has his hands full with a missing Dutchman. As he was talking to his wife, their conversation was interrupted by an explosion in nearby Hunstanton. As he casts about the beach where the explosion occurred, he discovers a backpack, which could have belonged to the missing man. But, where is the body of the owner of the pack? Coincidence or otherwise? Could the explosion have been caused by an old WWII bomb? If so, was it British or American?
When Valentine shows up at the scene, he has an elderly woman who he picked up handing out sweets at the bus stop he was watching. Fortunately, there weren’t any deaths as a result of the explosion, but the death of the man from the sweet was particularly gruesome.
Is it possible that the bomb was laid by someone who wants to stop a pier that is under construction nearby? Shaw and Valentine’s investigation leads them to some potential suspects if that is the case. Head of forensics, Tom Hadden is able to confirm that it wasn’t a WWII bomb.
Later, divers in search of the bomb remnants, discover a dead diver tied to the remains of the old pier. Shaw is sure that he has found the missing Dutchman.
A young history buff tells Shaw about a WWI Zeppelin attack over the area in which three bombs were dropped, but didn’t explode. Could one of them caused the explosion? However, an army disposal expert tells Shaw that their air survey discovered three possible bombs in a line out from the beach, which means that the beach will have to remain closed until they are disposed of.
Are the cases of the bomb and the dead diver related? Was he in the wrong place at the wrong time or was he involved in some way?
The next thing the police have on their hands is a case of attempted murder on the rig constructing the pier. The owners of the rig are calling it sabotage. Who is behind this?
Author Jim Kelly has written a murder mystery that is full of knots in a very twisted plot. Whether Shaw and Valentine are capable of solving not just one death, but several remains to be seen. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
