Marius And The Band Of
Blood
£6.99
When Bertold, a young pastry chef, escapes Emete Talbor`s reign of terror in Schwartzgarten through the city`s sewers, he is flushed out into the surging River Schwartz. Only by clinging to a floating wooden crate does Bertold avoid drowning. Swept many miles down river, Bertold washes ashore below the mountain castle of the exiled Prince Alberto. Anxious not to be arrested as a spy from Schwartzgarten, Bertold pretends that he has lost his memory
- & so he is given the name Kalvitas (the name stamped on the wooden crate he still clutches in his hands). Bertold is taken into the palace, where he excels as a pastry chef in Prince Alberto`s kitchens. But war hovers on the horizon, & when Prince Alberto is assassinated, he is succeeded by his battle-shy son, the hypochondriac Prince Eugene. When Emete Talbor declares war against Prince Eugene, Bertold is sent to the battlefields outside Schwartzgarten to set up a field canteen for the troops. In his efforts to protect Good Prince Eugene, Bertold is thrust into the very midst of battle. But when the heroic pastry chef is accused of spying by a double-crossing imperial ambassador, it seems that his dreams of liberating Schwartzgarten & finally returning home have been ruined.

Marked for Death
Marked For Death
£8.99
Little more than 10 years after the first powered flight, aircraft were pressed into service in World War I. Nearly forgotten in the war`s massive overall death toll, some 50, 000 aircrew would die in the combatant nations` fledgling air forces. The romance of aviation had a remarkable grip on the public imagination, propaganda focusing on gallant air `aces` who become national heroes. The reality was horribly different. MARKED FOR DEATH debunks popular myth to explore the brutal truths of wartime aviation: of flimsy planes & unprotected pilots; of burning 19-year-olds falling screaming to their deaths; of pilots blinded by the entrails of their observers. James Hamilton-Paterson also reveals how four years of war produced profound changes both in the aircraft themselves & in military attitudes & strategy. By 1918 it was widely accepted that domination of the air above the battlefield was crucial to military success, a realization that would change the nature of warfare for ever. ...
