Sinopsis

The Black Arrow is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is both an historical adventure novel and a romance novel. The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.

    FATE – Eventually, Everything Connects 
    BOOK 2 of 3 in the DEMON GORGE TRILOGY (Sequel to Room of Death) 
    “Oh, my God, I remember that trial now. She was the girl convicted of killing her infant cousin so that she could inherit his property, of which she was the next heir. Did your father know these facts before he agreed to take her on as a servant here at your place?” 
    “Yes, he did,” she said with a faint voice. 
    “Oh, my goodness. That trial was in all the papers. I can’t understand how your father could endure the presence of such a mad killer under the same roof as you. I don’t know how he could even subject you to such danger. No wonder you never smile.” 
    “Oh, you have it wrong. My father believes that though she was convicted of the crime, she was not guilty,” said the young woman in a faint voice. 
    “You say this, Aurora, that your father believes this. From everything I read in the papers, the evidence that proved her guilt was overwhelming. There wasn’t a loophole in the trial whatsoever.” 
    “That’s so true. But you sit there agreeing to have Jack Dannells provide private service for my father and then turn around and find that poor girl who was only fourteen years old guilty of a crime which she could not think up much less plan. We know that Elise Austin is no felon,” said Aurora. 
    “I don’t know, Aurora. You and your father seem to have a boundless charity to the criminals.”

    Philip Kindred Dick was born in 1928.  Widely considered one of the greatest science fiction writers, his talents were immense but he lived almost his whole life on the edge of poverty. Born prematurely on December 16, 1928 his twin sister died which caused a shadow over the rest of his life.  Many of his works would refer to the ‘phantom twin’.  Bizarrely her tiny body was buried in Colorado where her parents also had Phillips name inscribed on the tombstone. Eventually upon his death in 1982 he too was interred in the same plot. Phillip sold his first short story in 1951 and then became a full time writer selling his first novel in 1955.  He wrote continually and whilst considered a genius of the science fiction genre he was ignored by the mainstream.  Now of course much of his work is turned into films and he is rightly lauded.  All his work is at times visionary, and haunting dealing with many themes. Dick wrote of his work. "In my writing I even question the universe; I wonder out loud if it is real, and I wonder out loud if all of us are real."
