Sinopsis

The Four Feathers is a novel written by A.E.W. Mason in 1902. The story is set during the late 19th century and follows the adventures of Harry Faversham, a young officer in the British Army.

Harry is deeply in love with Ethne Eustace, but just as he is about to propose to her, he receives orders to go to Sudan to fight in a war against the Mahdi, who is leading a rebellion against the British. Harry is torn between his duty to his country and his love for Ethne. The novel is a powerful tale of redemption, courage, and love, and has remained popular for over a century.

A. E. W. Mason (1865-1948) was an English author, playwright, actor, army officer, intelligence agent, and politician. He is best known for his 1902 novel "The Four Feathers" which tells the story of courage and cowardice in wartime. Mason is also known for creating Inspector Hanaud, a French detective who was an early template for Agatha Christie's famous Hercule Poirot. Despite being one of the most popular authors in life, he was almost forgotten soon after his death in 1948.

    Full of David Wragg’s unique blend of humour, heart, and high stakes, The Company of the Wolf is the epic next instalment in the Tales of the Plains trilogy. 
    Seeking a better life, Ree and Javani have travelled west into the mountains, and left their pasts – and their troubles – behind. But new places bring new problems, and when they stumble across a lone traveller under bandit attack, they make the mistake of lending a hand. 
    Forced to take refuge in the traveller's village, they quickly find allies among the lush, wooded hills. But then the true nature of the bandits is revealed. 
    With winter approaching and a vengeful company of mercenaries circling like wolves, Ree and Javani must uncover the secrets of this peaceful valley … or risk the ruin of it all. 
    "Wragg's brand of fantasy deserves its own name: grassroots fantasy. Small in scale, large in heart, with underdog heroes you can't help but root for." Amber A. Logan, author of The Secret Garden of Yanagi Inn 
    "A tale full of heart: heart warming, wrenching and stopping in equal measure. I love Wragg's wild, western-inspired world and its rabble of humorously and sensitively crafted characters, the kind that keep you company long after reading." Cari Thomas, Sunday Times bestselling author of Threadneedle 
    "A story about growing up, growing old, dreams, betrayal, greed and consequences, all wrapped up in a neat package of action and tied off with a perky bow of banter. I enjoyed hating the villain almost as much as I enjoyed rooting for Ree and Javani." Peter Newman, Gemmell Award-winning author of The Vagrant and The Deathless 
    David Wragg's The Company of the Wolf is a dark adventure novel that follows Ree and Javani's journey into the unknown. The final chapters of this latest series are filled with suspense, making it a must-read for fans of historical fiction. 
    For fans of Nicholas Eames (Kings of the Wyld), Christopher Buehlman (The Daughters' War), Anthony Ryan (A Tide of Black Steel), Sebastien De Castell (Play of Shadows), and Richard Swan (The Trials of Empire).

    "Parotti's expertly detailed accounts make for constant tension." —The Historical Novels Review 
    Phillip Parotti's novel chronicles the fast-paced action of a collection of American submarine chasers as they battle to reduce the German U-Boat menace in the English Channel during the last year of World War I. Lieutenant (junior grade) Ben Snow takes a commission in the United States Naval Reserve, and whips a dissolute crew into fighting shape. They then take their little submarine chaser, SC 65X, out into the English Channel to hunt for German U-boats in the midst of the worst winter in more than fifty years. Their achievements climax with the sinking of a German submarine and taking sixteen of her crew prisoner. 
    When the war ends on November 11, 1918, the chaser crews expect to return home, but their exposure to danger is by no means concluded. Instead, the chasers are tasked with exploding the 70,000 dangerous mines planted in the North Sea Mine Barrage. Having survived the war, will Ben and his crew survive the peace?
