Summary

Haveloc

England, ca. 590 A.D.: The hulking Haveloc grows up as a foster son with fishermen in the early days of Saxon rule in England. He is humble and hard-working, and his friendly nature makes him popular with everyone – though everyone knows that you better not try to make a fool out of him.
But actually there is something Haveloc doesn’t know about his true origins. And when one day a stranger takes notice of him and finally recognizes him for who he really is, old enemies know that he is still alive. And they also know that he is a threat as long as he is alive. A fight to the death begins.

This is the first book in the eight-volume series „IN DARK AGES“ by Charles W. Whistler. It contains detailed notes on the text and general explanations of the Viking Age in an additional essay. It is also decorated with some atmospheric illustrations and features a map of England in Viking times.

IN DARK AGES

Fact and fiction combined… a most interesting account of life in Britain 1000 (and more) years ago.

The stories of the „IN DARK AGES“ series by Charles Watts Whistler take place in medieval England and span a period of over 400 years. The series consists of a total of eight volumes.

	Haveloc
	The Prince of Cornwall
	War of the Saxon Kings
	Wulfric the Weapon Thane
	The Banned
	Viking of the King
	Against Vikings
	800 Vikings

The individual volumes are complete, self-contained books that can be read independently of the other volumes of the series. The overall connection of the series results from the chronological order and embedding of the events in the historical context. Whistler places great emphasis in his books on a realistic portrayal of life in the early and high Middle Ages. The archaic style of language he uses creates an atmosphere of harshness and gloom.

Experience individual destinies, love, betrayal and struggle. Get an authentic and vivid impression of England in the dark times of the Middle Ages. And see how the Norsemen shook the world of that time.

Eight battles to the death. Eight journeys back in time, with a look at real people in a bygone era. Eight independent Viking stories that will really captivate you.

    When the ruthless aliens attack the outer reaches of the Federation, Humankind is forced to retreat haphazardly from dozens of conquered systems. The only chance to delay the advance of the enemy is to create hundreds of fake colonies. If that doesn’t work, the Fleet will be forced to face the ma’lahn in a series of open battles, which can lead to its annihilation. Politicians, however, do not care about the consequences. Their goal is to preserve power, even at the cost of billions of lives. The headquarters of the third metasector must meet the requirements of the Council on the one hand, and prevent the destruction of the only force that is able to defend Humankind on the other. But this war has another—human and personal—dimension: Major Darski must fight to save the colonists that he left on Ulietta…. Edge of Extinction is book three in The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles series.
