  The Usurper King

  From Outlaw to Usurper, Henry Bolingbroke fought one rebellion after another. 
  First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life. 
  To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.

  Set against the wind-scoured moors and storm-lashed coasts of medieval Denmark, The Bishop of Borglum and His Warriors is one of Hans Christian Andersen’s darkest and most powerful legends—a moral tale carved from history, faith, and fate. 
  High on the northern heath stands the convent of Borglum, ruled by Bishop Olaf Glob, a man of immense authority whose hunger for power outweighs mercy, kinship, and justice. When a widowed noblewoman refuses to surrender her rightful inheritance, the bishop wields the full force of church and curse against her—driving her into exile beneath papal ban. But faith endures where tyranny overreaches, and the long arc of judgment begins to bend. 
  As storms gather over frozen marsh and sea, warriors ride, churches become courtrooms, and the reckoning arrives not through law, but through blood, wind, and silence. What follows is not triumph, but consequence—etched into stone corridors, echoing hymns, and the endless roar of the North Sea. 
  Narrated with gravity and restraint by Robert Jackson, this haunting tale reveals Andersen not as a writer of gentle fairy stories, but as a master of moral legend—where power is exposed, justice is severe, and time itself becomes the final judge. 
  This is not a fairy tale. 
  It is a reckoning.

  The greatest Western writers of the twenty-first century return to Fort Misery—where the lowliest dregs of the U. S. ARMY defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . .They're not what you'd call "the good guys." They're a mangy pack of despicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth.These men chose hell.Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches and gunslinging outlaws are practically a daily occurrence—and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery.
