Yes, just a game like a skipping rhyme, and nobody ever died from a skipping rhyme. But it's not a game to Bryan. He knows the truth. He's seen the Dark Man, because the Dark Man took his brother five years ago. He's tried to tell himself again and again that it was his imagination, that the Devil's footsteps are just stones and the Dark Man didn't take Adam when he reached the thirteenth step. But what does it matter if people believe in the legend or not. Adam's still gone and now it's time Bryan proved how .

The son of a human father and an elvish mother, he is desperately trying to become the family breadwinner and has taken on his late father's job, celebrated jester, Prince of Fools. Trouble is, Sebastian can't tell a joke to save his life. Dressed in his father's clothes and accompanied by his talking (and endlessly complaining) buffalo Max, he sets off for the fabled city of Keladon, where he hopes to be appointed court jester to King Septimus. On the way he encounters a tiny but powerful warrior called Cornelius, the beautiful Princess Kerin, bloodthirsty Brigands and enough perils to make him wonder why he ever decided to leave home. This is a hilarious and swashbuckling adventure!. Signed by Author(s).

His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. 'Nemesis' is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil?s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution, while everyone around him drew guns and partied. It?s a captivating tale of gold hunters and evangelical pastors, bent police and rich kid addicts, quixotic politicians and drug lords with maths degrees. Spanning rainforests and high-security prisons, filthy slums and glittering shopping malls, this is also the story of how change came to Brazil. Of a country?s journey into the global spotlight, and the battle for the beautiful but damned city of Rio, as it struggles to break free from a tangled web of corruption, violence, drugs and poverty. With Nem at its centre, locked in a fight for his country?s future.

She doesn't want anything to do with Gerald and his two sons, and to make matters worse their new home is a derelict old house, neglected for decades. Joel thinks it's interesting. Cassie thinks it's a dump. But his sister isn't the only reason the house doesn't feel like a home. As fascinated as he is by the place, Joel has to admit there's something not quite right about it. Not only does he keep seeing things out of the corner of his eye, but his sleep is plagued by nightmares. He can't seem to stop dreaming about a terrified boy who keeps repeating the same fractured prayer: If I Should Die Before I Wake, I Pray The Lord My Soul To Take.As events in the house become harder and harder to explain, it seems that the line between nightmare and reality is getting steadily more blurred. And when the battle between Cassie and her step-brothers draws everyone deeper into the mystery, all four kids are forced to confront the question of just who the intruders really are.

In his remarkable book, Jonathan Phillips explores the conflict of ideas, beliefs and cultures and shows both the contradictions and diversity of holy war. He draws on contemporary writings, on chronicles, songs, sermons, travel diaries and peace treaties, to throw a brilliant new light on people and events we thought we knew well. Although the notion of fighting for one's faith fell into disrepute in the Enlightenment, Phillips traces the crusading impulse from the bloody conquest of Jerusalem in the First Crusade and the titanic struggle between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin up to the present day, to George W. Bush's characterisation of the war on terrorism as a crusade.

Donald Maclean was a star diplomat, an establishment insider and a keeper of some of the West's greatest secrets. He was also a Russian spy, driven by passionately held beliefs, whose betrayal and defection to Moscow reverberated for decades. Christened 'Orphan' by his Russian recruiter, Maclean was the perfect spy and Britain?s most gifted traitor. But as he leaked huge amounts of top secret intelligence, an international code breaking operation was rapidly closing in on him. Moments before he was unmasked, Maclean vanished. Drawing on a wealth of previously classified material, Roland Philipps now tells this story for the first time in full. He unravels Maclean's character and contradictions, a childhood that was simultaneously liberal and austere, a Cambridge education mixing in Communist circles, a polished diplomat with a tendency to wild binges, a marriage complicated by secrets, an accelerated rise through the Foreign Office and above all a gift for deception. Taking us back to the golden age of espionage 'A Spy Named Orphan' reveals the impact of one of the most dangerous and enigmatic Soviet agents of the twentieth century, whose actions heightened the tensions of the Cold War. Quite a scarce book.

Francisco Cantu was a US Border Patrol agent from 2008 to 2012. He worked the desert along the Mexican border, at the remote crossroads of drug routes and smuggling corridors, tracking humans through blistering days and frigid nights across a vast terrain. He detains the exhausted and the parched. He hauls in the dead. He tries not to think where the stories go from there. He is descended from Mexican immigrants, so the border is in his blood. But the line he is sworn to defend is dissolving. Haunted by nightmares, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. And when an immigrant friend is caught on the wrong side of the border, Cantu faces a final confrontation with a world he believed he had escaped. 'The Line Becomes a River' is timely and electrifying. It brings to life this landscape of sprawling borderlands and the countless people who risk their lives to cross it. Yet it takes us beyond one person?s experience to reveal truths about life on either side of an arbitrary line, wherever it is. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
