Sinopsis

In the fourth century AD, Britannia - like the rest of the Empire - is under attack by barbarians, and lurches towards inevitable doom.
 
Leo and Valdor, grandson and great-grandson of a famous warrior, survive the Great Conspiracy and rise in rank against the Picts and Scots. Despite Valdor’s prowess, he is overlooked for the post he most covets - Count of the Saxon Shore - in favour of his younger brother.
 
He finally gets his chance after helping the usurper, Magnus Maximus, in his campaign against the Western Emperor, Gratian. But as the province is left exposed to barbarian incursions, can Valdor stem the tide of raiders, or will he become just another local chieftain amid the anarchy left by the Romans?
 
A well-researched adventure set in medieval England, THE GREAT CONSPIRACY is the second book in John Broughton's trilogy if historical novels.

    Are you sure you know what loss truly means? What about guilt that gnaws at you from the inside, day after day, year after year? Kyle Rain knows. He saw the world shatter, witnessed the abyss of the Rift consume everything he held dear. His family vanished, leaving only an echo in his tormented soul. 
    But the Echo is not just the past. It's a key. A key to saving what's left of the world. A key hidden in the heart of the most dangerous Rift – "Echo-7." 
    Embark with Kyle and his desperate team on a journey beyond the veil of reality. Into the Wasteland, where every step is a fight for survival, where the air trembles with anomalies, and shadows whisper your deepest fears. Come face to face with an entity that feeds on pain and loneliness, one that knows you better than you know yourself. 
    "Echo of the Rift" is not just another post-apocalyptic story. It's a deep dive into the human psyche, an exploration of the limits of the mind and the desperate struggle for redemption. It's a book that will make you question reality, your own memories, the very definition of humanity. 
    Forget everything you've read about the post-apocalypse. There are no tired clichés here. There is only scorched earth, roaring Rifts, the shadows of the past, and a desperate hope for the future that may prove to be nothing but a cruel illusion. 
    Are you ready to peer into the abyss? Are you ready to hear the Echo of the Rift?

When you realize you’re caught in a triangle, it turns out there is no exit. Crossing a line is easy. Holding a line takes strength. Lily’s shooter knows that she’s my weakness. And he’s about to exploit that by breaking a line and escaping, claiming a hostage in the process. One I have to get back. No matter what it takes. Mark turns out to be a liar, someone I thought I could trust. He’s not what he seems, and worst of all, a part of me can’t let go.

    May 1942 
    Since joining the ATS all Clara Felgate has wanted to do is be a dispatch driver and serve with the brave boys abroad, doing her bit for King and country. But almost as soon as she arrives at Camberley Barracks, Clara seems to bring a string of bad luck with her. 
    Captain Perry Harrow shouldn’t even be at the barracks teaching a bunch of ATS girls how to drive. He should be fighting on the front line with his men. Thankfully Lance Corporal Felgate is perfectly proficient, and Perry finds himself drawn to the hardworking ATS girl. 
    Despite their duties keeping them busy, Clara and Perry are drawn to each other, too. But they both know a relationship would be disastrous. With the war still raging, their future together can’t be guaranteed. Unless they make the most of the time they have and make this one military operation they know will have a happy outcome! 
    A gripping and authentic tale of courage, duty and bravery, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Patricia McBride and Rosie Clarke.

    This is one case Detective Miller won't want to open . . . 
     
     
     
    The second rip-roaring mystery from multi-award-winning international bestseller Mark Billingham starring Detective Miller: unique, unconventional, and criminally underestimated . . . 
     
     
     
    Unconventional Detective Declan Miller has a problem. Well, two problems. First, there's his dead wife and her yet-to-be-solved murder. He really should stop talking to her ghosts . . . 
     
     
     
    Second, and most pressing, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands. Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne'er do well Wayne Cutler—a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife's death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately, he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of. 
     
     
     
    Sprinkle in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder, and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Crème Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.
