    The year is 1803. Swashbuckling, ribald, and irreverent hero Ethan Gage has outsmarted wily enemies and survived dangerous challenges across the globe. Now the rakish hero finds himself in the Caribbean with his wife, Astiza, on a desperate hunt to secure the lost treasure of Montezuma - a legendary hoard rumored to have been hidden from Cortes's plundering Spanish conquistadors. Hot on his heels are British agents who want the gold to finance a black slave revolt in Saint-Domingue, robbing hostile France of its richest colony. The French, too, seek the treasure for the secrets it contains, the key to an incredible new means of invasion that can ensure Britain's defeat - on its own land.

    The story of the world's best Caribbean boat bum 
    Ron Añejo loves his carefree lifestyle in the Caribbean, sailing his barely seaworthy wooden boat from one dodgy job to the next. It's a life that requires lots of chutzpah and more than a little luck. Legal work for a boat bum can be hard to come by, even if you actually had a work permit. And Ron isn't big on formalities. 
    Ron tries not to take life too seriously, and his optimistic approach usually manages to get himself, his crew, and Groucho, his Kayakoo water spaniel through one day and into the next. But the dubious work he sometimes takes on is risky. They live in the margins and listing too far beyond the laws of the various islands could put them all behind the wrong kind of tropical bars. 
    These are the adventures of salty sea dogs, and hilarity on the high seas. Oddly enough, if you sail down there, you'll hear some of these stories from people who'll tell you it's all really true. Just ask old Bald Guy when you see him.

    Beltane, AD425 
    Northern Britain 
    Midnight approaches and in Dun Breatann's great hall the Beltane feasting continues, with stories and songs and as much meat and ale as anyone could wish for. 
    On the western side of the towering fortress however, ten small figures make their way up the shadowy rock. Armed to the teeth, and hand-picked for their particular, deadly skills, these warriors have travelled far across the sea from Dalriada and are utterly focused on their mission, despite the fact most - perhaps all - of them will die this night. 
    High above, guards patrol the fortress walls as usual, but they expect yet another quiet shift for, as everyone knows, Dun Breatann is impregnable. 
    Isn't it? 
    This brand new novelette was written during the COVID-19 lockdown specifically to provide much-needed entertainment and escapism for adventure fiction fans. So pour yourself a mug of ale (or coffee!), sit back, and join the legendary warrior-druid Bellicus for another exciting tale of fifth-century Britain.

    The 930 Up Train

    Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a British writer, clergyman and member of the landed gentry, having inherited an estate of 3,000 acres. While a young curate, he met and fell in love with a beautiful 16-year-old mill worker. He paid for her education and married her, and they subsequently had 15 children. Their relationship formed the inspiration for George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, which was turned into the musical My Fair Lady. 
    Baring-Gould's strangest and most enduring works are those which are based on fantastical medieval myths and folklore. "The 9.30 Up Train" is a peculiar ghost story about a strange ghost which haunts both the road near the railway station and also a particular carriage of the train itself.
