Three times a day in a Parisian square, a curious modern-day crier announces the news items that are left in his box. Over the course of a few days he receives a number of disturbing and portentous messages of malicious intent, all of them referring to the Black Death. Strange marks have also appeared on the doors of several buildings: symbols once used to ward off the plague. Detective Commissaire Adamsberg begins to sense a connection, even a grotesque menace. Then charged and flea-bitten corpses are found. The press seizes on their plague-like symptoms, and the panic sets in.

In this second novel of Alison Weir’s epic Six Tudor Queens series, the acclaimed author and historian weaves exciting new research into the story of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s most infamous wife, a woman ahead of her time whose very life—and death—forever changed a nation. Born into a noble English family, Anne is barely a teenager when she is sent from her family’s Hever Castle to serve at the royal court of the Netherlands. This strategic move on the part of her opportunistic father also becomes a chance for the girl to grow and discover herself. There, and later in France, Anne thrives, preferring to absorb the works of progressive writers rather than participate in courtly flirtations. She also begins to understand the inequalities and indignities suffered by her gender. Anne isn’t completely inured to the longings of the heart, but her powerful family has ambitious plans for her future that override any wishes of her own. When the King of England himself, Henry VIII, asks Anne to be his mistress, she spurns his advances—reminding him that he is a married man who has already conducted an affair with her sister, Mary. Anne’s rejection only intensifies Henry’s pursuit, but in the absence of a male heir—and given an aging Queen Katherine—the opportunity to elevate and protect the Boleyn family, and to exact vengeance on her envious detractors, is too tempting for Anne to resist, even as it proves to be her undoing. While history tells of how Anne Boleyn died, this compelling new novel reveals how fully she lived. Praise for Anne Boleyn, A King’s Obession “Superb . . . page-turning biographical fiction, hauntingly and beautifully told . . . psychologically penetrating.”—Historical Novels Review “Immaculately researched and convincing . . . This tale of Anne’s ascent and demise cannot escape comparisons with Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall series.”—The Times “A tragic, misrepresented figure, one of history’s original nasty women . . . Weir’s fictional Anne is ferociously smart and guilty of nothing but craving the power that's rightfully hers to claim.”—NPR “One of historical fiction’s most compelling and exciting portraits of the enduringly fascinating and mysterious Anne Boleyn.”—Lancashire Evening Post “As always, Weir demonstrates a keen eye for crafting dramatic scenes of beautiful, accurate detail, instilling in the reader a vivid sense of being there.”—Booklist

Don't Be Afraid, Son. Gunfighter's Graveyard. If you like an Old Western Horror Gunfighter Novel with over 100,000 words. Then this book would be a good find? It came in a four-book series based on four different town scenarios. Different lawmen and evil gunmen will find one another in a gunfight to the death. Each will wake from a coma, dark deep sleep, or be sent back by the devil that made him raise his gun in the first place against good. A graveyard on the hill in town wakes. After a storm hit the town that same night. One grave began to wake with a hand blanketed in mud. One hand, then the other grabbed the wet mud earth or a branch on a tree in the ground. He crawled to his feet in old cowboy muddy boots. A tall, dark man stood in the drizzling rain, and his head tilted back. His stare on the night stars in the skies. The mud, dirt, and decaying tissue fell from his face and hands. One other began to rise from the same graveyard behind him. He stared at the same night sky as if something spoke to him from a place in between heaven and earth. One of them opened his arms. Each palm lifted and opened high in the dark. He opened his mouth to wash death still lingering on his tongue and lips. One other gunfighter crawled to his feet through the drizzling rain. Each gunfighter took a deep breath for the first time since he died huuu. Three men in dark cowboy boots and clothes take that first breath that opens his eyes in a bulge. Three Gunfighters Leave the cemetery behind the first gunfighter that left the wet Earth. The first gunfighter growls in the direction of the Town toward the bottom of the Hill. I will be there soon, Townspeople! As a faint heartbeat begins. His chest began to pulsate with heartbeats slowly. His heartbeat told the other men that their hearts would also be beating. Each footstep's heel on his boot kicked at the ground. One gunfighter behind the other pretends to tiptoe into town as the drizzling rain covers them like a blanket. Each gunfighter covers his head with a hat and long coat to keep the water from splashing against his chest. Each man wore a black hat, a long shin-length coat, and cowboy boots. Beneath, he wore a blue jean shirt and pants. Some are darker than others. The third cowboy with long chocolate brown shoulder-length hair stares forward in a baby blue dead-eyed stare. One behind the other, they vanish in a cloud of drizzling rain. Behind them on the other half of the cemetery. One other had risen through the wet mud earth. He also crawled to his feet in a pair of black cowboy boots. A Shiny Gun, Badge, and a Winchester lay on the wet mud. A man in a Marshall's Badge in Dark Brown Leather lifts it off the wet ground. One other man with a Badge followed the Marshall. One after him also crawled to his feet. They begin to leave the cemetery like the other men before them. They reach the road that leads into town. The rain cleansed Each in a Badge on the way into the town. Each with a hat, Winchester at his side, and a shiny gun. The sound of a Stagecoach made them listen and look. A Stagecoach hidden in the drizzling rain made them stare into the falling rain. The sound of a hyena laughing inside made Law Men Reach for his Rifle. The sound of wicked men rose from a stagecoach as it drew closer. I'm coming to town, Marshall. I'll be waiting, Gunfighter! I will bring a few friends. I will too. Will see which one of us will reach the Gunfighter's Graveyard. I will be waiting like I do every 58 years of lawman! Come out and play Marshall, sheriff, and do not forget to bring your deputies. We will be waiting. Did I shoot the sheriff haha? Of course, I did. It was me? The stagecoach, hidden in the falling rain, roared by as a sound of a hyena laughing left them in awe. It continued to roar toward the town in the falling rain and vanishes.

Experience the first mission of the US government's most secret agency as Civil War–era agents are tasked with retrieving a mythical artifact. It's 1863. America's most legendary war leaders arrange a meeting—a clandestine alliance that will never show up in any history book. Their mission: To heal a war-torn nation by bringing the remnants of a prized ship back to US soil—one that may lie on a mountaintop inside the Ottoman Empire, where the men who seek it are only days away from killing one another. The battles will rage at sea and upon land—with enemies both past and future. Colonel John Henry Thomas of the Union Army will come face to face with his mortal enemies in the South and a dark entity that has been trapped on top of God's Mountain for a millennium. In 2007, America's darkest agency, known to only a privileged few as the Event Group, recruits a man they desperately need for their security. Major Jack Collins is brought to the underground world of the organization to learn about the darkest secrets in history, and is told a tale that brings him full circle on why his destiny has always lain with Department 5656 . . .

Crystal Clear takes you behind the scenes in the life of one of the most prominent scientists of the twentieth century, William Lawrence Bragg (WLB) - an innovative genius, who together with his father, William Henry Bragg (WHB) founded and developed a whole new branch of science, X-ray Crystallography. The main body of the text contains the hitherto unpublished autobiographies of both WLB and his wife, Alice. Alice Bragg was a public figure in her own right. She was Mayor of Cambridge and National Chairman of the Marriage Guidance Council among other roles. She and WLB were as different as chalk and cheese. Their autobiographies complement each other to give a rounded picture of the real personalities behind their public appearance. They write of their travels, their family life, their friends and their joys and sorrows. They write most of all about each other. Their younger daughter, Patience Thomson, provides anecdotes and vignettes, bringing her parents to life. She has also included extracts from previously unpublished letters and from articles which Alice Bragg wrote for National newspapers. The result is an unusual insight into the lives of two distinguished people. The two accounts reveal a fascinating interaction between these two characters, neither of whom could have achieved on this scale without the other. There is an underlying love story here which humanises and transforms. This is a unique book, adopting an original viewpoint, which will take the reader far beyond the scope of a normal biography.
