But not all the Germans have left and Kay finds herself in mortal danger. As the war reaches its desperate end, their twin stories play out, interlocked and separate, until their destinies are finally forced together.

"Gran Bretaña, año 1468. El sacerdote Christopher Fairfax llega a una aldea remota enviado por el obispo de Exeter para celebrar el funeral del vicario que acababa de fallecer. El difunto, apasionado coleccionista de artefactos de otras épocas, murió accidentalmente mientras excavaba en los alrededores. Fairfaix se aloja en la vicaría y en los aposentos del religioso fallecido descubre una colección de objetos considerados heréticos, y textos de especialistas en el pasado que sugieren una verdad distinta a la doctrina de la Iglesia, que afirma que el hombre fue castigado con las cuatro plagas: epidemias, guerra, hambruna y muerte tras haberse rendido a la ciencia y a la tecnología. Solo la vuelta a la fe en Cristo salvó in extremis a la humanidad. Fairfax descubre que la torre junto a la que murió el vicario guarda numerosos vestigios de la civilización perdida, y todas las pruebas apuntan a que alguien los depositó allí pensando en un futuro donde fuera posible reconstruirla. La lectura de los libros heréticos que ponen en duda el poder omnipotente de Dios y las causas del Apocalipsis, junto con las investigaciones que le sumergen en esa comunidad aislada harán tambalear la fe y las creencias del joven sacerdote."--Amazon.com

'One of the great triumphs of contemporary historical literature.' The TimesWITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR'Laws are silent in times of war.' CiceroOne of the great epics of political and historical fiction, The Cicero Trilogy charts the career of the Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero from his mid-twenties as an ambitious young lawyer to his dramatic death more than thirty years later, pursued by an assassination squad on a cliff-top path.The extraordinary life that unfolds between these two episodes is recounted by Cicero's private secretary, the law cases and the speeches that made his master's name; the elections and conspiracies he fought; the rivals who contended for power around him - Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Catalina, and, most menacingly, Caesar; and, at the heart of it all, the complex personality of Cicero himself - brilliant, cunning, duplicitous, anxious, brave, and always intensely humane.More than ten years in the writing, and now published in a single volume for the first time, The Cicero Trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life. Here is its grandeur, ambition and corruption; and here is its tumultuous collapse into dictatorship and anarchy - a story of the fragility of democratic institutions that holds a warning for our own time.

'At that moment the kitchen door opened and something colossal came stomping out. It was about seven feet tall with green skin and tufts of black fur on the back of its ham-like hands. A long, thick tail was dragging heavily across the floor behind it. It was wearing Mum's green summer dress and white apron.' Lewis and Greg have accidentally turned their mum into a troll, and the town of St Andrews into a fantasy world overrun by yetis, elves, dragons and valkyries - few of them friendly. When the brothers recited an ancient rhyme to conjure up an extra day of the week, they had no idea it would work - or that the day would belong to the banished Norse god, Loki, master of mischief, monsters and mayhem. As the day wears on, time seems to be lagging behind. Will this day of madness never end? Can two ordinary boys outwit an ancient lord and his monstrous minions?

Rome, 63 BC. In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy. The stories of these real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes - are all interleaved to form this epic novel. Its narrator is Tiro, a slave who serves as confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to be in. From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing of the Roman mob, Lustrum (US: Conspirata) is a study in the timeless enticements and horrors of power.

Míroví vyjednavači, kteří trpělivě hledají východisko z dlouholeté bezvýchodné arabsko-izraelské krize na Středním východě, stojí krůček od úspěchu. Dvě násilná a zdánlivě spolu nesouvisející úmrtí - profesora Šimona Guttmana, domnělého atentátníka na izraelského ministerskéhopředsedu, a archeologa Ahmeda Noura, domnělého kolaboranta s Izraelci - však zhatí jakékoli naděje na smírné řešení konfliktu. Americká vláda sáhne po svém posledním trumfu a vyšle do Tel Avivu bývalou excelentní vyjednavačku Maggie Costellovou. Ta je však záhy vtažena do pátrání po příčínách obou úmrtí a zjistí - i za pomoci oblíbené počítačové on-line hry Second Life -, že mezi oběma zavražděnými, byť každý z nich patřil do opačného tábora, existovalo pevné osobní i profesní pouto, a že jejich smrti předcházelo objevení něčeho, co by mohlo mít pro urovnání nesmiřitelného sváru arabského a izraelského národa zásadní význam. Veřejné odhalení tohoto objevu nesmírné historické hodnoty však není v zájmu všech zúčastněných.

When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, encounters a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he unwittingly sets off a series of events that will lead his master into a historic courtroom drama. The stranger, a Sicilian wronged by the corrupt governor Verres, brings a case to Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and orator eager to achieve supreme power. This marks the beginning of a compelling narrative, told from Tiro's perspective, that immerses readers in the treacherous world of Roman politics. It explores how one man—clever, compassionate, and vulnerable—navigates the complexities of ambition and power. The story emphasizes the significance of articulating ambition, as Cicero's bold declaration of his aspirations ignites hope and possibility. Robert Harris reflects on his long-standing fascination with politics, likening it to a contact sport. He highlights the timeless elements of oratory, strategizing, and public manipulation that make politics exhilarating. Cicero’s journey is not just a historical account but a universal exploration of ambition and the thrill of political life.
