Sinopsis

Flying Death by Edwin Balmer is a fast-paced thriller that blends aviation adventure, suspense, and high-stakes danger into a gripping early twentieth-century narrative. Set in an era when flight was still new, uncertain, and awe-inspiring, the novel captures both the excitement and the peril of the skies.

At the center of the story is a series of mysterious and deadly events linked to the emerging world of aircraft. As pilots, inventors, and investigators become entangled in a web of sabotage and suspicion, the race begins to uncover the source of the threat before it strikes again. Each flight carries not only the promise of progress but also the shadow of unseen danger.

Balmer's storytelling is marked by sharp pacing, vivid action sequences, and careful attention to technical detail. The tension builds steadily as characters navigate both mechanical challenges and human deception, where trust is fragile and every decision in the air or on the ground can mean life or death.

Themes of innovation, risk, ambition, and survival run throughout the novel. The story explores the double-edged nature of technological progress—its ability to inspire achievement while also introducing new forms of vulnerability and conflict. Characters are tested by both external threats and internal doubts as the mystery deepens.

Written with clarity and momentum, Flying Death stands as a compelling example of early aviation thriller fiction. It remains an engaging read for those who enjoy action-driven narratives, technological intrigue, and suspenseful stories set during the pioneering days of flight.

    A story inside a story inside a story. A man visits his aging father in a nursing home, where his father writes the novel he imagines his son would write. Or is it the novel that the son imagines his father would imagine, if he were to imagine the kind of novel the son would write? 
     
     
     
    Let's simplify: a woman seeks an apprenticeship with a painter, claiming to be his long-lost daughter. A contractor-for-hire named Murphy can't distinguish between the two brothers who employ him. And in Murphy's troubled dreams, Nat Turner imagines the life of William Styron. These narratives twist together with anecdotes from the nursing home, each building on the other until they crest in a wild, outlandish excursion of the inmates led by the father. Anchoring these shifting plotlines is a running commentary between father and son that sheds doubt on the truthfulness of each story. Because, after all, what narrator can we ever trust? 
     
     
     
    Not only is Percival Everett by Virgil Russell a powerful, compassionate meditation on old age and its humiliations, it is an ingenious culmination of Everett's recurring preoccupations. All of his prior work, his metaphysical and philosophical inquiries, his investigations into the nature of narrative, have led to this masterful book. Percival Everett has never been more cunning, more brilliant, and subversive.

    Another perfect holiday read with lots of romance and laugh out loud comedy, Chasing Victory is the fourth entry in the Dartmouth Diaries. 
     
    Kit Davies has been dating the gorgeous Captain Jason Buchannan for six months. Six whole months of being wheeled out as his significant other at various Naval functions. While she's not convinced she has the makings of a future Officer's wife, things have been pretty good, and at least she hasn't caused a diplomatic incident - yet. 
     
    Then one memorable evening, Jason drops a bombshell. His father’s health is failing and he wants to retire from the Royal Navy, and relocate to his crumbling ancestral home in the wilds of Scotland. And he wants Kit to go with him. 
     
    But Kit has too much unfinished business in Dartmouth to just up sticks and leave. She’s worked hard to build up her Event Management business, then there’s her best friend Tory who’s just had a baby, and her Aunt Flo who to date still hasn’t told Kit the whole truth about her father. 
     
    When Hollywood superstar Noah Westbrook agrees to help finance Jason’s plans to convert his pile of ruins into a luxury hotel, Kit begins to get desperate. How can she leave everything she’s ever known for a man she’s only known for six months? It’s no secret that she has trust issues, not to mention a ridiculous fear of change. In fact, burying her head in the sand is probably her strongest talent... 
     
    Decision time comes as Jason’s father Hugo goes missing from hospital. It’s no surprise to anyone that Tory’s irresponsible father is at the bottom of it, but in deciding to drag his old friend on an impromptu road trip across the country, the meddling Admiral may finally have gone too far… 
     
    Chasing Victory is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for fans of funny love stories, especially quirky British Romantic Comedies.
