Book excerpt: Can a man be in two places at one time? Three months have passed. Gil is confined to Jason Fairchild’s clinic, his sanity doubted by all but Crazy Ivan, when Feannag appears with Aidan’s seeing stone. Rescued by Ivan, he escapes to the river, the Underwater Bridge, and 9th Century Orkney. All has changed. Burned by the Golden Knight, Cille Aidan and Einar’s Holm are deserted ruins, their people exiled to Floki’s lands on Hrolf’s Isle. Mercenaries roam the islands, seeking rumoured treasure and a stolen royal bride. Hidden on an island across a treacherous tide-race, Janetta is safe. Rachel shelters in a cell beside Aidan’s new church. Percy, Earl’s Cupbearer at Floki’s High Table, never leaves his side. But Danni, Ismail and Hakon, captured in the flight from Caledon and sold to a Norwegian sea-king, are hostages in Norway, awaiting ransom. While Magnus broods on the high price paid for the Warrior’s quest, Floki raises a sea force to win them back. Labouring in Eyolf Grimsson’s shipyard and daring the tide-race in a skiff to meet Janetta, Gil learns both ships and sailing. When Silver Dragon leads Floki’s fleet to Norway, Gil is on the steersman’s bench, Helmsman to the Earl. Arriving, they meet betrayal. The king has sold the hostages to a slave trader, ten days before. Demanding the release of Hakon’s crew, Floki takes the king’s young son hostage to ensure he keeps his word. As the weeping boy is carried to Silver Dragon, Gil swears he will find a better way to live. But can he? So begins a voyage far longer than any imagine. From Norway to the slave markets of Jorvik, on to the pilgrim port of Dofras and beyond to the island fortress of Mont Tombe, where in a tournament melee Gil crosses lances with Jocelyn Guidbairn and finds his father, Lance’lot. But still the sea roads roll on before them, and still Danni is captive ... Come sail the Northlands seas as Odin’s Maiden’s dance and follow Frigga’s spindle South. Come helm a Viking warship with the Warriors of Tir nan Og.

Book excerpt: “This important new book . . . based on archival material . . . shows the huge extent of Soviet espionage activity in the United States during the 20th century” (The Telegraph). Based on KGB archives that have never been previously released, this stunning book provides the most complete account of Soviet espionage in America ever written. In 1993, former KGB officer Alexander Vassiliev was permitted unique access to Stalin-era records of Soviet intelligence operations against the United States. Years later, Vassiliev retrieved his extensive notebooks of transcribed documents from Moscow. With these notebooks, John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr have meticulously constructed a new and shocking historical account. Along with valuable insight into Soviet espionage tactics and the motives of Americans who spied for Stalin, Spies resolves many long-standing intelligence controversies. The book confirms that Alger Hiss cooperated with the Soviets over a period of years, that journalist I. F. Stone worked on behalf of the KGB in the 1930s, and that Robert Oppenheimer was never recruited by Soviet intelligence. Uncovering numerous American spies who never came under suspicion, this essential volume also reveals the identities of the last unidentified American nuclear spies. And in a gripping introduction, Vassiliev tells the story of his notebooks and his own extraordinary life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business--or will it turn into something more? Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life--especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero's dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man's grieving fiance and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell. When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience. Sophie is surprised to find she isn't opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed's elderly mother, and she's already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she'll stay behind to oversee his property and wards. It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he's come to mean to her. Now she'll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.

The Historical Dictionary of Signals Intelligence covers the history of SIGINT through a chronology, an introductory essay, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on key personnel, SIGINT technology, intelligence operations, and agencies, as well as the tradecraft and jargon. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Signals Intelligence.

Book excerpt: Foreign Policy Best Book of 2023 Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2023 The “riveting” (The Economist), secret story of the hundred-year intelligence war between Russia and the West with lessons for our new superpower conflict with China. Spies is the history of the secret war that Russia and the West have been waging for a century. Espionage, sabotage, and subversion were the Kremlin’s means to equalize the imbalance of resources between the East and West before, during, and after the Cold War. There was nothing “unprecedented” about Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. It was simply business as usual, new means used for old ends. The Cold War started long before 1945. But the West fought back after World War II, mounting its own shadow war, using disinformation, vast intelligence networks, and new technologies against the Soviet Union. Spies is a “deeply researched and artfully crafted” (Fiona Hill, deputy assistant to the US President) story of the best and worst of mankind: bravery and honor, treachery and betrayal. The narrative shifts across continents and decades, from the freezing streets of St. Petersburg in 1917 to the bloody beaches of Normandy; from coups in faraway lands to present-day Moscow where troll farms, synthetic bots, and weaponized cyber-attacks being launched woefully unprepared West. It is about the rise and fall of Eastern superpowers: Russia’s past and present and the global ascendance of China. Mining hitherto secret archives in multiple languages, Calder Walton shows that the Cold War started earlier than commonly assumed, that it continued even after the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, and that Britain and America’s clandestine struggle with the Soviet government provided key lessons for countering China today. This “authoritative, sweeping” (Fredrik Logevall, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Embers of War) history, combined with practical takeaways for our current great power struggles, make Spies a unique and essential addition to the history of the Cold War and the unrolling conflict between the United States and China that will dominate the 21st century.

Book excerpt: First published in 1969, An Orkney Tapestry, George Mackay Brown's seminal work, is a unique look at Orkney through the eye of a poet. Originally commissioned by his publisher as an introduction to the Orkney Islands, Brown approached the writing from a unique perspective and went on to produce a rich fusion of ballad, folk tale, short story, drama, and environmental writing. The book, written at an early stage in the author’s career, explores themes that appear in his later work and was a landmark in Brown’s development as a writer. Above all, it is a celebration of Orkney's people, language and history. This edition reproduces Sylvia Wishart’s beautiful illustrations, commissioned for the original hardback. Made available again for the first time in over 40 years, this new edition sits alongside Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain as an important precursor of environmental writing by the likes of Kathleen Jamie, Robert Macfarlane, Malachy Tallack and, most recently, Amy Liptrot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover Flap In 1075 at the wedding of Earl Ralph of Norfolk to Emma the daughter of Earl Roger of Hereford, there were a lot of angry boastful words said against William the Conqueror. These two Earls plotted with Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon to rebel and cut England in two. In the sober morning light, Waltheof regretted being involved in the Revolt of the Earls, which could again bring mass destruction to the Danelaw. He sent a plea to Hereward and Raynar to help him get out of it. Raynar once again raises the wolfpacks, this time to protect the folk from rampaging armies. In the spring of 1102, King Henry decides that something must be done about Robert ‘the Impaler’ Belleme, the all powerful Earl of Shrewsbury, and so he raises an army to drive him out of England. Queen Edith begs Raynar to go and help her husband and keep him safe. About the Author Skye Smith is my pen name. My ancestors were miners and shepherds near Castleton in the Peaks District of Derbyshire. I have been told by some readers that this series reminds them of Bernard Cornwell’s historical novels, and have always been delighted by the comparison. This is the eighth of my Hoodsman series of books, and you should read the first “Killing Kings” before you read this book. All of the books contain two timelines linked by characters and places. The “current” story is set in the era of King Henry I in the 1100’s, while the longer “flashback” story is set in the era of King William I after 1066. I have self-published twelve “The Hoodsman” historical-adventure novels and one Companion reference book for the series: # - SubTitle William I Timeline Henry I Timeline 1. Killing Kings 1066 killing King Harald of Norway (Battle of Stamford Bridge) 1100 killing King William II of England. Henry claims the throne. 2.
