In The Rule of Empires, Timothy Parsons gives a sweeping account of the evolution of empire from its origins in ancient Rome to its most recent twentieth-century embodiment. He explains what constitutes an empire and offers suggestions about what empires of the past can tell us about our own historical moment. Parsons uses imperial examples that stretch from ancient Rome, to Britain's "new" imperialism in Kenya, to the Third Reich to parse the features common to all empires, their evolutions and self-justifying myths, and the reasons for their inevitable decline. Parsons argues that far from confirming some sort of Darwinian hierarchy of advanced and primitive societies, conquests were simply the products of a temporary advantage in military technology, wealth, and political will. Beneath the self-justifying rhetoric of benevolent paternalism and cultural superiority lay economic exploitation and the desire for power. Yet imperial ambitions still appear viable in the twenty-first century, Parsons shows, because their defenders and detractors alike employ abstract and romanticized perspectives that fail to grasp the historical reality of subjugation. Writing from the perspective of the common subject rather than that of the imperial conquerors, Parsons offers a historically grounded cautionary tale rich with accounts of subjugated peoples throwing off the yoke of empire time and time again. In providing an accurate picture of what it is like to live as a subject, The Rule of Empires lays bare the rationalizations of imperial conquerors and their apologists and exposes the true limits of hard power.

Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford — also known as Horace Walpole — was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. He had Strawberry Hill House built in Twickenham, south-west London, reviving the Gothic style some decades before his Victorian successors. His literary reputation rests on his Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto (1764) and his Letters, which are of significant social and political interest. He was the son of first British Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole. As he was childless, his barony descended to his cousin of the same surname, who was created the new Earl of Orford.

'The Laws of all Nations ... define & declare a Pirate to be an Enemy of Mankind ... He is perhaps the only Criminal on Earth, whose crime cannot be absolutely pardoned ... a Pirate is equally an Enemy and dangerous to all Societies ... Piracy is in its self a complication of Treason, Oppression, Murder, Assassination, Robbery and Theft.' You know what a pirate is. You know how they dress, how they speak. If you think of the word 'pirate', you most probably think of black flags and peg legs, cutlasses and cannon, walking the plank and buried treasure. These stereotypes are familiar and entertaining, but they aren't the whole truth. Or, perhaps, they were never true at all. From their origins and identities to their everyday lives and exploits, Enemies of All is a voyage of discovery that investigates piracy's incredible, and often unrecognised, impact on history. Socially, economically and politically, pirates moulded European empires as they rose to global power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They shaped our modern world and left behind troubling legacies. You will never see pirates in the same way again.

IN TOMORROW’S AMERICA, THE NEW ENEMY IS EVERYWHERE… The General prays for peace. The smuggler retires. The cyborg dreams of being human. The assassin closes in. And the Seer is missing. It is the most guarded secret in the fledgling Kingdom of New Jerusalem—that its leader has disappeared, leaving behind only a series of cryptic ciphers. Now, with the fate of her new nation in the balance, MacKenzie must find Rafael Ward to help decode the Seer’s clues. Clues leading to the oldest library in the Americas. To the most brutal Conquistador of the Age of Discovery. To the fabled city of gold, El Dorado, and a secret bloodline whose descendants may hold the key to saving humanity from the bitter wrath of the gods. The Hidden Empire is a thrilling, thought-provoking conclusion to the Rafael Ward series. *** Praise for the Rafael Ward series: “great characters, fascinating world-building, a whole slew of entertaining plot points and history thrown in for good measure” - E.G. Stone, author of The Innocence of Death and The Wing Cycle “shades of Indiana Jones and the Bourne books” - Galleywampus “fascinating globe-trotting adventures” - C.T.
