Friar-sleuth Brother Athelstan is caught in a politically charged race against time! He must uncover the truth behind numerous gruesome murders in this tense historical mystery set in medieval London. Normandy, 1358: The Free Company of the 'Via Crucis - the Way of the Cross' sweeps into the peaceful village of Avranches, like the riders from the Apocalypse, leaving nothing but death and hellish destruction in their wake. London, 1382: Brother Athelstan is summoned to unpick the ugly truth behind a number of killings afflicting the great city. Some carried out like clean, efficient assassinations, all bearing the message 'Justitia Fiat - let there be justice', others inflicting torture and humiliation upon the bodies. But the victims all have one thing in common - they were all once members of Via Crucis. With every new gruesome discovery, Brother Athelstan, with the help of Coroner Cranston, uncovers more clues which make up a most complicated riddle - but can he put together the last piece before the fate of the whole country is decided? A skilfully plotted and researched medieval mystery which will appeal to fans of C.J. SANSOM

Klimaforandringerne er blandt de største udfordringer, menneskeheden står overfor. Alt tyder på at de accelererer, og hver ny fremskrivning tegner et mere dystert billede af klodens sande fremtidige tilstand. Naturligvis er det også en problemstilling, som science fiction-forfattere arbejder med, og i øvrigt har gjort gennem mere end hundrede år. Gennem det seneste halve århundrede er der i stigende grad tale om at science fiction-litteraturen diskuterer menneskets ansvar og mulighederne for at vende udviklingen.Mange fortællinger om klimakatastrofer og tiden derefter er dystre i udsynet, og er blevet kritiseret for negativitet. Men hvis en historie for alvor skal få læseren til at tænke over sagerne, nytter det ikke noget at lade problemerne løse sig af sig selv eller ved et eller andet mirakel. De bedste klimahistorier går ikke let hen over problemernes alvor.Til gengæld bliver der i stigende grad skrevet historier, der ganske vist tager klimaproblemerne alvorligt, men også forestiller sig måder at afbøde dem eller genetablere et menneskeligt samfund efter et eventuelt sammenbrud. Her viser science fiction en af sine styrker, nemlig teknologisk opfindsomhed, forbundet med ofte barsk realisme: Ingen siger at det bliver nemt, men der er stadig muligheder, stadigt håb. Strømningen er blevet kaldt hopepunk, og denne antologi rummer både historier af denne slags og af de mere dystre.Indhold:Kim Stanley Robinson: Det druknede VenedigMitch Sullivan: Kontoret for klimafaktaSam J.

For not only has Gaunt's treasure trove been stolen, he has reason to believe a French spy is active along the Thames, carefully recording for his masters in the Louvre the state of English war cogs.

Did Amaury Whitfield really kill himself following a visit from the terrifying Herald of Hell? Athelstan is unconvinced. In the dead man's possession was a manuscript containing a great secret which he had been striving to decipher.

I decided on the title 'windows" because each poem came to me in a quick burst of energy. The way fresh air hits you when you open a window. Each poem is a window into my soul. You get to feel the emotion as I was experiencing it. I hope you can relate to them in some way. Most of them were about people or situations in my life. Some are just ideas from my imagination. I am not a college educated, literary scholar. I'm just a blue collar guy with an over active imagination. When I get an idea, if it is meant to happen, it just flows out of me. Generally, each poem takes 30 to 60 minutes to compose. Many of them are imperfect. For the most part, I have left them in their original form. The spiritual section portrays the highs and lows of my spiritual journey. The romance section is either the expression of my feelings for someone I cared for, or the idea of what I desire for myself. The miscellaneous section is just that. It is a collection of ideas that don't fit one of the two primary categories. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
