Sinossi

In "The Ward of Tecumseh," Crittenden Marriott crafts a historical narrative that intricately intertwines personal and collective histories amidst the backdrop of early 19th-century North America. The novel follows its protagonist, a young ward of the renowned Shawnee leader Tecumseh, exploring themes of identity, loyalty, and cultural conflict. Marriott employs a rich, evocative prose style that mirrors the oral traditions of Native American storytelling, immersing the reader in the tumultuous landscape of pre-colonial America and the tensions leading to the War of 1812. This work finds its place in a broader literary context that interrogates colonial narratives and seeks to represent underrepresented voices in history, positioning itself as a significant contribution to both American literature and Indigenous studies. Crittenden Marriott, a scholar in American history with a particular focus on Indigenous relations, draws deeply from his research and understanding of Native American cultures, providing authenticity to the narrative. His passion for preserving these often-overlooked stories is evident throughout the text, illuminating both the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the majestic, and at times tragic, realities of Native life during pivotal historical moments. Readers seeking a nuanced and deeply engaging portrayal of Native American history will find "The Ward of Tecumseh" an essential addition to their literary collection. Marriott'Äôs compelling narrative not only enlightens but invites reflection on the themes of coexistence and conflict, making it a recommendable read for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of America's past.

    The Trumpet-Major is the seventh published novel by English author Thomas Hardy published in 1880, and his only historical novel. 
When Anne Garland wakes up one morning, she little realises the significance of the sight from her window; of soldiers setting up camp for the summer on the hills overlooking her quiet village of Overcombe.  
But she soon finds herself pursued romantically by three men: Trumpet Major John Loveday, his brother Bob and the boorish Squire's nephew and yeoman; Festus Derrimen, as the Napoleonic war roils over the continent. All three compete off and on for her affections, but who will finally win her hand?  
Narrated by Michael Ward.

    “Disinformation is one of the leading causes of death. If that isn’t true now, I say it will be.” 
  
For hospital physician Dr. Mark Lin, nothing is more gut-wrenching than saving a life only to see it taken by murder. 
  
When one of his patients is killed by a suicide bomber blowing up a clinic, everyone points the finger at a group of anti-abortion extremists. Mark, however, knows the killer’s final words and has a different theory about the culprit: a secretive healing cult called the Path to Purity. It seems the only way to get answers and avenge his patient is to join the Path himself. 
  
Juggling the dual roles of doctor and undercover cult follower, Mark treats patients for ill effects of the Path’s dangerous practices while also proving his worth and advancing along the Path’s ranks. He has only one goal: get close to the mysterious leader known as the Sun Priest and destroy the cult. But the deeper he goes, the deadlier things get. Mark will stop at nothing to uncover the truth, before getting trapped in a heinous plot that could spell devastation on a massive scale. 
  
Toxic Minds is Anthony Lee’s medical thriller where healthcare collides with disinformation and a hateful mind losing touch with reality is the most dangerous of all.
