Sinopse

We are at the end of the Swinging Sixties as four young Broads Rangers, collectively named Spectrum, roam the Norfolk Broads in their multi-coloured motorboats, helping tourists and locals alike enjoy the waterways in safety.


Is it pure coincidence if Christine Rogers and her three brothers share the same name as the mysterious instrumental group currently topping the record charts?


Why does their father Sam, an accountant responsible for the financial affairs of several charitable organisations in Kent, make frequent journeys to the Defence Operations RAF Neatishead?


And how come Tony Dale, the number one pop sensation of the era, is seen so often in Norfolk?


The tranquillity of the reed beds, brimming over with wildlife, is truly under attack.


Drug smuggling, arson and kidnapping are some of the twists and turns of our heroes' trials and tribulations.


Yes, it is an adventure story, but if you want to discover more about the fantastic Norfolk Broads, this is the book for you.

    Description:
    Everyone believes Robin Maddox is fragile — a soft-spoken survivor of a brutal childhood, saved by the powerful man who adores her.
    
    When the girl who once tormented Robin walks free, Robin's fiancé Adrian Kane swears vengeance on her behalf. But vengeance curdles. Adrian's certainty wavers, the bully whispers poison, and soon Robin finds herself the one accused of lying, locked away while her tormentor takes her place.
    
    Adrian thinks he's holding all the power. He has no idea the quiet, trembling woman in his house has been three moves ahead of him from the day they met — and that every tear, every flinch, every plea is a weight on a scale she alone controls.
    
    A glacial, jaw-dropping psychological revenge novel about a woman the world underestimated, and the terrible patience of someone with nothing left to lose.

But when she finds out who he really is, he might lose her for good . . .

    James Sallis' collection of five novellas.
    'James Sallis is a superb writer ' - Times
    James Sallis' World's Edge presents five masterful novellas—Dayenu, Carriers, Settlers, Allotments, and Reconstruction—exploring fractured societies, human resilience, and the fragile intersections of morality and survival. Sallis's prose, as sharp as it is evocative, captures the nuances of his dystopian and near-future settings, resonating with themes of dislocation and identity. Widely regarded as a pivotal voice in contemporary US fiction, Sallis's work aligns with literary giants such as Cormac McCarthy and Denis Johnson, weaving the poetic bleakness of the former with the incisive character studies of the latter. These stories draw readers into a world both intimate and unyielding, where existential questions lurk beneath stark, elegant narratives.

    The attacks are brutal, leaving the victims unconscious and broken. A powerful Mindhealer might be able to piece together what's happening to these crushed bodies and shattered minds, so Caroline Robbins is pulled away from her relatively quiet life. It's dangerous—Mindhealers are incredibly vulnerable to the Dark—and Caro refuses even the idea of having a Watcher. She won't have another man die in front of her, and that's that. Unfortunately, the Watcher she just ran into has other ideas . . .
    Caro, the witch Merrick rescues from the dogs of the Dark, is obnoxiously stubborn, infuriating, and seemingly determined to throw herself into every dangerous situation possible. It's enough to drive a man insane, and definitely enough to make a Watcher frustrated. How is he supposed to protect her, especially when she insists she doesn't need a Watcher? But Caro is going to need all of Merrick's skill and strength sooner than anyone guesses. The attacks haven't stopped, and the closer Caro gets to solving the mystery, the more danger she's in. Because she's the next victim—unless Merrick can save her. And Merrick just might die in the line of fire if Caro can't find a way to keep her Watcher safe.
