  In Sixteenth Century Europe, as countries extend their global reach, an Anglo-Dutch Allegiance sets out to undermine and bring down the Spanish Empire. 
  When a wealthy Genoese banker and his vivacious wife employ a new tutor, they are under constant surveillance. 
  And not without reason, the Head of the Spanish Security is suspicious of the newly appointed tutor. It is also no coincidence the banker is enlisted to carry out business for the King of Spain. 
  Through erotically themed Masquerade Balls the Allegiance's cause is advanced. These risqué events provide opportunities for covert action and allow young spies to gather valuable intelligence. With the Genoese banker engrossed in the power of his position, secrets are revealed and treasures are uncovered. 
  But the Allegiance's cause is not the only one being pursued. In a series of twists and counter moves, Masquerade Gold leads the reader through the evolving struggles of a complex Europe.

  A gripping testament to human endurance and the indifference of nature, The Open Boat by Stephen Crane captures the harrowing true story of survival at sea after the wreck of the steamer Commodore. Based on Crane’s own near-death experience, this masterpiece of American naturalism follows four men—the captain, the cook, the correspondent, and the oiler—as they struggle against exhaustion, hunger, and the merciless power of the ocean in a tiny dinghy adrift off the Florida coast. Through vivid imagery and piercing realism, Crane explores courage, camaraderie, and the haunting realization that nature is vast, beautiful, and utterly indifferent to man’s fate. 
  Narrated with raw intensity by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook immerses listeners in the rhythm of the waves, the quiet desperation of survival, and the fragile bonds that form in the face of oblivion.

  The Lonely Sea and Sky

  'Myles Foley gripped my soaked jumper. Before his ship sank he was a Nazi: now he's a drowning sailor. Out here, we are all sailors. Your father and grandfather understood that. Are you going to disgrace their memory?'
  Part historical fiction, part extraordinary coming-of-age tale, The Lonely Sea and Sky charts the maiden voyage of fourteen-year-old Jack Roche aboard a tiny Wexford ship, the Kerlogue, on a treacherous wartime journey to Portugal. After his father's ship is sunk on this same route, Jack must go to sea to support his family swapping Wexford's small streets for Lisbon's vibrant boulevards: where every foreigner seems to be a refugee or a spy, and where he falls under the spell of Katerina, a Czech girl surviving on her wits. Bolger's new novel is based on a real-life rescue in 1943, when the Kerlogue's crew risked their lives to save 168 drowning German sailors - members of the navy that had killed Jack's father. Forced to choose who to save and who to leave behind, the Kerlogue grows so dangerously overloaded that no one knows if they will survive amid the massive Biscay waves. A brilliant portrayal of those unarmed Irish ships that sailed alone through hazardous waters; of young romance and a boy encountering a world where every experience is intense and dangerous, this is Bolger's most spellbinding novel, and the work of a master storyteller who is one of Ireland's best-known novelists, playwrights and poets.
