Beschreibung

The North African desert, 1942. Recovering from his injuries, Lieutenant Douglas Tulloch returns to the Lothian Rifles just as the tide of war shifts.
 
With Rommel’s forces pressing deep into Allied territory, the British are pushed to their limits and the Lothians find themselves outgunned and struggling to hold the line. The morale of Tulloch's unit is crumbling, and he must rebuild trust among his men while navigating a war that seems increasingly hopeless.
 
As the men prepare for a defining battle at El Alamein, personal encounters with the enemy force Tulloch to question not only his adversaries, but also the cost of his duty.
 
A gripping story of courage, leadership and the brutal reality of warfare, THE END OF THE BEGINNING is the third book in Malcolm Archibald's series of historical war novels.

    Cast out by dragonkind, threatened by his own family . . . A dragon with nothing left to lose can be a dangerous thing. 
     
     
     
    Unless, of course, that dragon is Galen Stormwing. He's never been very dangerous. He was a failure at school, a failure at gaining powers, and a failure at keeping them. 
     
     
     
    Now his own parents have told him he needs to do something to impress them within three days, or they'll have him executed as an embarrassment to the clan. He does the only sensible thing he can think of. 
     
     
     
    He runs for it. Survival trumps pride, as far as Galen is concerned. Most dragons won't go to Canada, realm of the dwarf people, so that's where he must go. 
     
     
     
    But he's not the only one fighting for survival. Vala is a young dwarf in school to become an engineer when she begins exhibiting magical powers. There's never been a dwarf mage before, and not all her people are thrilled about it. In fact, some of them would rather see Vala dead than allow their race to become polluted in that manner. 
     
     
     
    Both of them are vulnerable, lost, alone—and hunted. But together, they might just have what they need to save each other!
