Sinopsis

The Eagle and the ShadowA Novel by Miguel Santiago
 
Rome casts a long shadow. Not all who march beneath it return unchanged.
 
Centurion Publius Sertorius has survived more campaigns than he can count, but nothing prepares him for the brutality—and the moral cost—of Caesar’s war in Gaul. In the mud, forests, and blood-soaked rivers of the frontier, he leads men into battles history will remember… and through choices it will never record.
 
Alongside him, Marcus—a young recruit confronting his first taste of war—and Quintus—a Gallic-born Roman torn between two worlds—must face not only the enemy in front of them, but the darker battles within.
 
From the icy Alps to the thunder of Germanic drums along the Rhine, The Eagle and the Shadow is a sweeping, visceral journey into the heart of conquest, loyalty, and loss.
 
Not all wars are won with swords. Some are survived. Others haunt forever.

En su apogeo, el Imperio Romano abarcaba grandes extensiones de Europa occidental, Oriente Medio, Egipto y el norte de África, y aunque mucha gente conoce la influencia y el legado de Roma en Europa y Oriente Medio, a menudo se sabe menos de los asentamientos romanos en la costa mediterránea del norte de áfrica. No obstante, esta fue una zona que produjo varios emperadores (incluidos los únicos emperadores negros), algunas de las ciudades más sofisticadas del imperio y ruinas romanas que ofrecen algunas de las mejores pruebas del modo de vida romano que se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.  
	Aparte de la naturaleza complicada de los sistemas administrativos en evolución en la zona, otro reto importante para los investigadores modernos del periodo romano en la historia del norte de África es que el entorno natural era muy diferente al actual. Se suele suponer que la región solo era fértil en la costa y que el interior no podía proporcionar los recursos necesarios para mantener poblaciones numerosas y ricas. Sin embargo, en la antigüedad, el norte de África era una región fértil, y los científicos creen que la vasta zona de praderas escarpadas que cubría la mayor parte de lo que hoy es el desierto del Sáhara comenzó a secarse hace unos 5000 años, y que el proceso de transformación de las praderas en desiertos fue lento. Aunque existe un considerable debate sobre el tiempo que duró el proceso y si las técnicas agrícolas a pequeña escala utilizadas en la región contribuyeron al proceso de desecación, está claro que la zona alrededor de Cartago, por ejemplo, tenía una amplia extensión de tierras bien cultivadas, y que dicho cultivo se prolongó hasta bien entrada la Edad Media.

In 1795, Catherine the Great of Russia was in search of a bride for her grandson Constantine, who stood third in line to her throne. In an eerie echo of her own story, Catherine selected an innocent young German princess, Julie of Saxe-Coburg, aunt of the future Queen Victoria. Though Julie had everything a young bride could wish for, she was alone in a court dominated by an aging empress and riven with rivalries, plotting, and gossip—not to mention her brute of a husband. She longed to leave Russia and her disastrous marriage, but her family in Germany refused to allow her to do so. 
 
 
 
Finally, Tsar Alexander granted her permission to leave in 1801, even though her husband was now heir to the throne. Rootless in Europe, Julie gave birth to two—possibly three—illegitimate children, all of whom she was forced to give up for adoption. Despite entreaties from Constantine to return and provide an heir, she refused, eventually finding love with her own married physician. 
 
 
 
At a time when many royal brides meekly submitted to disastrous marriages, Julie proved to be a woman ahead of her time, sacrificing her reputation and a life of luxury in exchange for the freedom to live as she wished. The Rebel Romanov is the inspiring tale of a bold woman who, until now, has been ignored by history.

The Isle of Lismore has a long reputation as a holy island, beginning with the foundation of a monastery by St Moluag in the sixth century, when it became a major centre of Christianity. The Roman Catholic Bishopric of Argyll was founded on Lismore in 1200, and the medieval Cathedral Church of St Moluag was completed in 1400, the choir of which forms the basis of the present-day parish church.
Robert Hay tells the story of Moluag's monastery, recently rediscovered by community archaeology, before exploring the rise and fall of the Bishopric of Argyll: the roles of the bishops; the years of prestige when leading families invested in elaborately carved graveslabs; the lean years when finances were strained; the struggles through decades of war, civil unrest, despoliation, famine and plague; and the final withdrawal of the bishop from Lismore to Dunoon in the mid fifteenth century. Even at the physical fringes of Scotland and Europe, the diocese was deeply affected by events on the national and international scene, with a major impact on this site of an unbroken tradition of Christian worship.

Hard Aground brings together three intertwined stories documenting the US Navy's strategic and matériel evolution from the end of Civil War through the First World War. 
 
 
 
The first story focuses on the reconstruction of the US Navy following the swift and near-total dismantling of the Union Navy infrastructure after the Civil War. Jampoler argues that the federal government discovered that the fleet requested by the navy, and paid for by Congress, was the wrong fleet. 
 
 
 
The second story relates the short, tragic life of the USS Tennessee. The USS Tennessee was ordered on two unusual missions in the early months of the First World War, long before the United States formally entered the war. These little-known missions and the ship's shocking destruction in a storm surge in the Caribbean serve as the centerpiece of the story. 
 
 
 
Jampoler rounds out this fascinating account with the story of how the USS Tennessee's destruction prompted fierce deliberations about the US Navy's operations and chains of command for the remainder of the First World War and the high-level political wrangling inside the Department of the Navy immediately after the war.
