THE ANGEL FIGHTS TO WATERLOO. VOLUME FOUR OF THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. It's 1813, Paul Brandt returns to Berlin from London with news for the Tsar. But family matters must be postponed, like all life's pleasures and pastimes because, yet again, the rapacious Bonaparte has invaded. He has Berlin in his sights and he must be stopped. The reformers, Clausewitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and Blucher together with von Boyen try to make the Allied armies work together, rather than as independent commands, as they are used to do. Progress is slow and the losses mount. But a strategy grows out of the bloodshed. Paul must don his uniform again, and leading his troop, rides to find his old mentor, General Yorck. At the Battle of the Elbe he and his men are bloodied in battle when his scouting troop is used as cavalry. The Allies push on to Paris but, one step at a time. The Battle of Nations turns into the world's largest cavalry battle and right after it comes the Battle for Leipzig itself. For the soldiers, their lives are of fighting without end until death itself. Paul must raise the legend of The Angel of Jena again as the Allies tempt the Saxons to defect from Bonaparte. And at Leipzig there is the problem of the French retreat. Bonaparte's forces, complete with the remnants of his cavalry and artillery are escaping so they can reform to fight again. How can they be stopped? Paul's war ends at Leipzig. He returns to Berlin and thence to London, where many adventures spring out at him. He even finds himself aboard a sinking ship in the Elizabeth River in Virginia. Paris falls to the Tsar's armies and war is over. But news arrives that Bonaparte has escaped and is raising a new army. Paul returns to Berlin and joins the Prussian forces to face down the French invader for the last time. But can August Gneisenau make the English understand the value of the Trachtenberg Plan? Because if he can't the battle might be lost and Europe with it. The Battle of Waterloo will unfold with you in it. And it is not as it has been portrayed. The weapons are different and so are the tactics. Nonetheless, as any seasoned campaigner will confirm, as the rain stops on Sunday lunchtime and generals survey the battlefield, it is obvious that Napoleon Bonaparte will be victorious. But appearances can be deceptive and that is a critical ingredient of the Trachtenberg Plan. ABOUT THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. The series, at the time of writing, comprises seven books ranging from the Napoleonic Wars (Vols 1-4), through The Franco-Prussian War (Vols 5,6), to the Cold War (Vol 7). They start at a time when Germany was conceived and develop through its birth to modern times. (1950s). The thread is the Brandt Family and their adventures. The environment is German history. History is written by the winner and, from ace to knave, it's a pack of lies. These books are not German history. They are a unique view of German history and the stories are told from this deserted and neglected standpoint. This, so-far, unilluminated emphasis discloses both a disguised truth and a hidden one. Germany is not the warmonger it has been painted and, as the series develops, readers' curiosity may be piqued into checking to see if they agree with the author's conclusions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Oliver Fairfax is a nomad. A Scot by birth, he has wandered from England to Hong Kong and back - twice. He has lived in France and now in New Zealand. He worries that a generation is rising who cannot tell the difference between a citizen and a subject. He is concerned about the pervasive growth of regulation that cannot be afforded, cannot be complied with, but that seeks to remove free choice. He worries also about political correctness and the suppression of dissonance being two policies that misinform ordinary people's decision-making processes. But those irritants aside, life's great! - and remember, you should never have joined if you can't take a joke.

What if the power to control the most terrifying animals in history fell into the hands of one of the most brilliant and ferocious military leaders of all time? Battlesaurus reimagines the 1815 Battle of Waterloo as something other than a crushing defeat for the French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte, when he unleashes a terrible secret weapon—giant carnivorous survivors from pre-history—on his unsuspecting British and Prussian adversaries. In this world, smaller “saurs” are an everyday danger in the forests of Europe, and the Americas are a forbidden zone roamed by the largest and most deadly animals ever to walk the earth. But in his quest for power, Napoléon has found a way to turn these giant dinosaurs into nineteenth-century weapons of mass destruction. Only Willem Verheyen, an outsider living in hiding in the tiny village of Gaillemarde, has the power to ruin the tyrant’s plans. And Napoléon will stop at nothing to find him. War is coming, and young Willem is no longer safe, for Gaillemarde is just a stone’s throw from the fields of Waterloo—fields which will soon run red with blood. Battlesaurus: Rampage at Waterloo by Brian Falkner is the first in a thrilling alternate historical fantasy duology, which concludes with the sequel, Battlesaurus: Clash of Empires. “Part historical fiction, part dinosaur fantasy mash-up, this book will appeal to history buffs and dinosaur fanatics alike. The battle scenes between Napoléon's army and the British are depicted in incredible detail, making readers feel as if they are right in the midst of the fight . . . The first of a promising duology that readers will find thrilling and positively addicting.” —School Library Journal “This alternative history asks, what if Napoléon won the battle at Waterloo . . . The novel quickly ramps up to suspense, immersing the reader in the swiftly moving plot. Characters are very well drawn, capturing the reader's sympathy. With an ending wide open for a sequel, complete with a plot-thickening cliff-hanger, one can only hope that Falkner is a swift writer.” —Booklist

'HISTORICAL FICTION AT ITS BEST' -- Bookseller & Publisher It's 1939, and for Georg, son of an English academic living in Germany, life is full of cream cakes and loving parents. It is also a time when his teacher measures the pupils' heads to see which of them have the most 'Aryan'- shaped heads. But when a university graduation ceremony turns into a pro-Nazi demonstration, Georg is smuggled out of Germany to war-torn London and then across enemy seas to Australia where he must forget his past and who he is in order to survive. Hatred is contagious, but Georg finds that kindness can be, too. A companion piece to the best-selling Hitler's Daughter, this is a story of war-torn Europe during WWII, as seen through the eyes of a young German boy Georg, who loses his family and must forget his past and who he is in order to survive.

"The Marquis and Marquise de Castillon together with their young son, Jean Pierre, were forced to flee France for England when the French Revolution broke out in 1789. Jean Pierre was educated at Eton and only returned to Paris when Napoleon came to power. It was not long before he joined Napoleon's Army, survived the Retreat from Moscow and was badly wounded at the Battle of Waterloo. Whilst in hospital he became friends with Colonel Hubert Dawlish who was in the next bed. Before they both underwent life threatening operations, they made joint wills leaving everything to the other. Jean Pierre, now the Marquis, survived the operation and returned to his ancestral Chateau to find it looted and in a terrible state of repair. Another blow awaited him when the late Colonel Dawlish's three children arrived as he was now their Guardian. He felt too ill and depressed even to want to see them. The eldest, the beautiful Marietta, was gifted with the powers of healing and herbs and she enthusiastically set about not only bringing the Marquis back to health, but to restoring the Chateau to its former glory. She persuaded some soldiers to help her with the Chateau and through her prayers made a stunning discovery that changed the Marquis's fortunes. How she found love where she least expected it and showed the Marquis that love and prayer can heal any wounds and overcome all obstacles is told in this exciting and unusual book by BARBARA CARTLAND."
