    'I was immediately hooked on this story and the pages just flew by. It was over before I realised how deep into the book I was'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review
    'Exciting to the last pages'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review
    Detective Superintendent Jack Hawksworth is seconded by counter-terrorism to investigate a spate of domestic events. First it was needles in strawberries, then tampering with lipstick samplers and baby formula. But when toxic mushrooms hit the supermarket shelves and a death occurs, a wave of panic is set to sweep the country. Breaking news of a possible serial killer only heightens the alarm.
    There are no leads, no DNA, no witnesses, no CCTV footage. Jack and his team must work on instinct to figure out why someone would want to harm innocent victims, each of them curiously linked to a single blood transfusion.
    Then a hospital bomb threat erupts, and it's up to Jack's team to prevent the inevitable bloodshed. But the clock is ticking, and no one is safe from the possibility of a tragedy on a catastrophic scale.

    The last survivors. The last chance. The last leap through time.... 
    "Engrossing doomsday thriller spliced with heart, humor, and second chances." 
    ~Publishers Weekly

But when Isabel stumbles upon a long-lost time bridge, the possibility of changing the past emerges, and the stakes rise dramatically—leading to impossible choices and heart-wrenching sacrifices. 
    In a world on the brink, time is the ultimate weapon. 
    Hive is a gripping, emotionally charged tale that explores survival, love, and the consequences of playing with time.

Their love story is at the heart of the book, adding emotional depth and tension to their fight for humanity's survival.

    "The Yellow Face", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the third tale from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in 1893 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
    Sherlock Holmes, suffering from boredom due to a want of cases, returns home from a walk with Dr. Watson early in spring to find he has missed a visitor but that the caller has left his pipe behind. From it, Holmes deduces that he was disturbed of mind (because he forgot the pipe); that he valued it highly (because he had repaired, rather than replaced it, when it was broken); that he was muscular, left-handed, had excellent teeth, was careless in his habits and was well-off.

    The Angel of the Revolution: A Tale of the Coming Terror (1893) is a science fiction novel by English writer George Griffith. It was his first published novel and remains his most famous work. It was first published in Pearson's Weekly and was prompted by the success of The Great War of 1892 in Black and White magazine, which was itself inspired by The Battle of Dorking.A lurid mix of Jules Verne's futuristic air warfare fantasies, the utopian visions of News from Nowhere and the future war invasion literature of Chesney and his imitators, it tells the tale of a group of terrorists who conquer the world through airship warfare. Led by a crippled, brilliant Russian Jew and his daughter, the 'angel' Natasha, 'The Brotherhood of Freedom' establish a 'pax aeronautica' over the earth after a young inventor masters the technology of flight in 1903. The hero falls in love with Natasha and joins in her war against society in general and the Russian Czar in particular.  It correctly forecasts the coming of a great war, but in pretty well all other respects widely misses the mark of the real events that followed.  Nevertheless, it is a gripping  and exciting story of intrigue and plot interwoven with love and romance played over a background of world war. - Summary by Wikipedia
