Book Synopsis Battlesaurus: Rampage at Waterloo by : Brian Falkner
Download or read book Battlesaurus: Rampage at Waterloo written by Brian Falkner and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the power to control the most terrifying animals in history fell into the hands of one of the most brilliant and ferocious military leaders of all time? Battlesaurus reimagines the 1815 Battle of Waterloo as something other than a crushing defeat for the French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte, when he unleashes a terrible secret weapon—giant carnivorous survivors from pre-history—on his unsuspecting British and Prussian adversaries. In this world, smaller “saurs” are an everyday danger in the forests of Europe, and the Americas are a forbidden zone roamed by the largest and most deadly animals ever to walk the earth. But in his quest for power, Napoléon has found a way to turn these giant dinosaurs into nineteenth-century weapons of mass destruction. Only Willem Verheyen, an outsider living in hiding in the tiny village of Gaillemarde, has the power to ruin the tyrant’s plans. And Napoléon will stop at nothing to find him. War is coming, and young Willem is no longer safe, for Gaillemarde is just a stone’s throw from the fields of Waterloo—fields which will soon run red with blood. Battlesaurus: Rampage at Waterloo by Brian Falkner is the first in a thrilling alternate historical fantasy duology, which concludes with the sequel, Battlesaurus: Clash of Empires. “Part historical fiction, part dinosaur fantasy mash-up, this book will appeal to history buffs and dinosaur fanatics alike. The battle scenes between Napoléon's army and the British are depicted in incredible detail, making readers feel as if they are right in the midst of the fight . . . The first of a promising duology that readers will find thrilling and positively addicting.” —School Library Journal “This alternative history asks, what if Napoléon won the battle at Waterloo . . . The novel quickly ramps up to suspense, immersing the reader in the swiftly moving plot. Characters are very well drawn, capturing the reader's sympathy. With an ending wide open for a sequel, complete with a plot-thickening cliff-hanger, one can only hope that Falkner is a swift writer.” —Booklist

Book Synopsis The Angel Fights to Waterloo by : Oliver Fairfax
Download or read book The Angel Fights to Waterloo written by Oliver Fairfax and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ANGEL FIGHTS TO WATERLOO. VOLUME FOUR OF THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. It's 1813, Paul Brandt returns to Berlin from London with news for the Tsar. But family matters must be postponed, like all life's pleasures and pastimes because, yet again, the rapacious Bonaparte has invaded. He has Berlin in his sights and he must be stopped. The reformers, Clausewitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and Blucher together with von Boyen try to make the Allied armies work together, rather than as independent commands, as they are used to do. Progress is slow and the losses mount. But a strategy grows out of the bloodshed. Paul must don his uniform again, and leading his troop, rides to find his old mentor, General Yorck. At the Battle of the Elbe he and his men are bloodied in battle when his scouting troop is used as cavalry. The Allies push on to Paris but, one step at a time. The Battle of Nations turns into the world's largest cavalry battle and right after it comes the Battle for Leipzig itself. For the soldiers, their lives are of fighting without end until death itself. Paul must raise the legend of The Angel of Jena again as the Allies tempt the Saxons to defect from Bonaparte. And at Leipzig there is the problem of the French retreat. Bonaparte's forces, complete with the remnants of his cavalry and artillery are escaping so they can reform to fight again. How can they be stopped? Paul's war ends at Leipzig. He returns to Berlin and thence to London, where many adventures spring out at him. He even finds himself aboard a sinking ship in the Elizabeth River in Virginia. Paris falls to the Tsar's armies and war is over. But news arrives that Bonaparte has escaped and is raising a new army. Paul returns to Berlin and joins the Prussian forces to face down the French invader for the last time. But can August Gneisenau make the English understand the value of the Trachtenberg Plan? Because if he can't the battle might be lost and Europe with it. The Battle of Waterloo will unfold with you in it. And it is not as it has been portrayed. The weapons are different and so are the tactics. Nonetheless, as any seasoned campaigner will confirm, as the rain stops on Sunday lunchtime and generals survey the battlefield, it is obvious that Napoleon Bonaparte will be victorious. But appearances can be deceptive and that is a critical ingredient of the Trachtenberg Plan. ABOUT THE BRANDT FAMILY CHRONICLES. The series, at the time of writing, comprises seven books ranging from the Napoleonic Wars (Vols 1-4), through The Franco-Prussian War (Vols 5,6), to the Cold War (Vol 7). They start at a time when Germany was conceived and develop through its birth to modern times. (1950s). The thread is the Brandt Family and their adventures. The environment is German history. History is written by the winner and, from ace to knave, it's a pack of lies. These books are not German history. They are a unique view of German history and the stories are told from this deserted and neglected standpoint. This, so-far, unilluminated emphasis discloses both a disguised truth and a hidden one. Germany is not the warmonger it has been painted and, as the series develops, readers' curiosity may be piqued into checking to see if they agree with the author's conclusions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Oliver Fairfax is a nomad. A Scot by birth, he has wandered from England to Hong Kong and back - twice. He has lived in France and now in New Zealand. He worries that a generation is rising who cannot tell the difference between a citizen and a subject. He is concerned about the pervasive growth of regulation that cannot be afforded, cannot be complied with, but that seeks to remove free choice. He worries also about political correctness and the suppression of dissonance being two policies that misinform ordinary people's decision-making processes. But those irritants aside, life's great! - and remember, you should never have joined if you can't take a joke.

Book excerpt: The prize-winning author of The Memory of Love investigates London’s hidden nature and marginalized communities in this fascinating novel. London, 2014. A fox makes its way across Waterloo Bridge. The distraction causes two pedestrians to collide—Jean, an American studying the habits of urban foxes, and Attila, a Ghanaian psychiatrist. Attila has arrived in London with two tasks: to deliver a keynote speech on trauma, and to contact a friend’s daughter Ama, his “niece” who hasn’t called home in a while. Ama has been swept up in an immigration crackdown, and now her young son Tano is missing. Jean offers to help Attila by mobilizing her network volunteer fox spotters. Soon, rubbish men, security guards, hotel doormen, traffic wardens—mainly West African immigrants who work the myriad streets of London—come together to help. As the search for Tano continues, a deepening friendship between Attila and Jean unfolds. Attila’s time in London causes him to question his own ideas about trauma, the values of the society he finds himself in, and a personal grief of his own. In this delicate tale of love and loss, of thoughtless cruelty and unexpected community, Aminatta Forna asks us to consider our co-existence with one another and all living creatures, and the true nature of happiness.

Book Synopsis The Strange Case of "The Angels of Mons" by : Richard J. Bleiler
Download or read book The Strange Case of "The Angels of Mons" written by Richard J. Bleiler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I began disastrously for the English when the Germans routed them at Mons, Belgium, on August 23 and 24, 1914. On September 29, 1914, the Anglo-Welsh writer Arthur Machen fictionalized this encounter in a newspaper story, claiming that the English were saved by the appearance of angelic bowmen sent by St. George. But his fiction became accepted as fact. The believers--notables G. K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle and C. S. Lewis, along with almost forgotten figures like Harold Begbie, Phyllis Campbell and T. W. H. Crosland--wrote pamphlets, testimonies and poems, performed music and created motion pictures attesting to the existence of the guardian angels. This history of the Angels of Mons controversy for the first time collects and annotates Machen's work and the responses it inspired, most of which have not been available since their publication a century ago. Also reprinted for the first time are several of Machen's responses to the believers, including "The Angels of Mons: Absolutely My Last Word on the Subject" and "The Return of the Angels: This Time They Are at Ypres."
