Sinopse

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.

    A heartbreaking story of motherhood and the everlasting bond between mother and daughter - perfect for those who love Jodi Picoult! 
    I found you because I wanted to tell you. Jack is with someone else. He’s got no intention of sending for you or the kiddie or seeing you ever again. Don’t try to contact him, you’ll never find him. 
    All it takes is one message for Gemma’s life to fall apart. A confirmation of all she’s feared these last few months. Jack was supposed to be preparing for their new start in Australia, building their home, building their life together. And now this. Gone. Without a trace. Leaving their perfect world – all that their two-year-old daughter, Poppy, knows and cherishes – shattered. 
    Crystal comes into Gemma’s life at the opportune moment. This new friend, who’s been through it before, who knows how it feels for all of your hopes and dreams to suddenly implode, who wants to help, who will do anything… 
    Crystal loves Poppy. And Poppy loves Crystal. The minute they meet it’s as if all of the heartbreak over her dad leaving dissipates. Poppy feels whole again. And in a way, so does Gemma. 
    But what starts as a small kernel of jealousy soon grows into a larger sense of unease. Who is this woman who’s so obsessed with her daughter? And why does it feel like there’s something she’s not telling her?

    His experiment shouldn't have wrecked his lab, created a portal to another dimension, or sucked him through said portal. 
     
     
     
    Despite all that, Charles Smith found himself landing atop the emissary of an evil group of mages called the Shadow Council. 
     
     
     
    Literally on top of him, along with half the gear from his lab, which had the fortunate side-effect of turning the evil sorcerer into paste. 
     
     
     
    This won Charles the gratitude of King Alfred, ruler of the Kingdom of Kortall and the man who said sorcerer had been threatening moments before Smith's arrival. 
     
     
     
    But the reward for a job well done is always more work! 
     
     
     
    Alfred quickly recruits Charles to help defend his kingdom against the invading army. Wildly outmatched, Alfred's forces are on the verge of being crushed. If he falls, there will be little to stop the Shadow Council from taking over the entire world. 
     
     
     
    Charles will need every trick he knows, including a lot of science, some engineering—and maybe even a little bit of magic—if Kortall is to have any hope of surviving!

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
    From their pens to your your ears.

    A wild Australian adventure begins with the kidnapping of two boys in the action novel Will’s Way: On Lake Coothella.  
    Tim and Nick are abducted from their lakeside camp-over on New Year’s Eve. The abductors are criminals whose revengeful intent is to make the boys disappear into the criminal underground in payment for an old insult dealt deep in the past. 
    What the criminals don’t realise is the resourcefulness and determination, not only of the boys themselves but of their family and friends, who rally their separate rescue expeditions.  
    Will, Tiff, and Matt immediately begin the pursuit in an old inflatable, while Billy and Jamie borrow a boat to help free their friends. Then Spiro and the mysterious Maria join the action. What results is a long and dangerous chase in a variety of boats, at night, over the lake displaying bravery and resourcefulness. This is followed by a determined pursuit through a pine forest, culminating in the final confrontation between the evil mastermind and Will Peters’ mother.
