Vikram Seth - 1985

Douglas Bader


Robert Jackson - 2015
    His courage was remarkable, as was the way he defied his handicap. The film Reach for the Sky brought Bader’s life into cinemas, and Robert Jackson's classic biography was the first to document his life. After a lonely childhood Bader’s early reputation as a sportsman and a daredevil made him popular with his contemporaries. But he was also an irritation to his superiors, a pattern which continued throughout his life, and hid an academic ability which won him a scholarship to St Edward’s School and a cadetship at the elite RAF College in Cranwell. After his accident, Bader was determined to rejoin the RAF. As a pilot, he was an tactical innovator, a man who confronted the methods of other pilots. When he was a Prisoner of War, Bader’s antagonism toward his guards, and his political pronouncements in later life, sometimes provoked his colleagues, but never lost him their lasting respect and admiration. After retiring from the RAF he combined a full-time job with Shell with all the demands of being a celebrity; his inspiration to the disabled gained him many accolades and finally a knighthood.Both aggressive and charming, Bader’s outward personality was famous. Robert Jackson describes the evolution of that forceful character, and the motivation behind his remarkable achievements. ‘Its style and structure make it readily accessible and, like your favourite armchair, it is easy to relax into at the end of a busy day.’ Frank BurnsRobert Jackson has been a full-time author since 1969, specializing in aviation and military history. A retired member of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, he has flown a wide variety of aircraft, ranging from jets to gliders.

The Alchemist's Revenge: The real game of thrones (Company of Archers)


Martin Archer - 2019
    This is another exciting story in Martin Archer’s continuing and action-packed saga about the men of a company of English archers in the medieval world’s very real game of thrones. It is by far the longest and one of the most action-packed and wittiest. Flashman would be proud, Tom Brown appalled, and the men of the Marines and the SAS would have felt right at home. The year is 1219 in Constantinople and the recently widowed English-born Empress of the great Latin Empire has donated enough coins to the Pope to have been chosen by God to be her young son’s regent. She, in turn, has hired George Courtenay’s Cornwall-based Company of Archers to help her defend her throne against the many kings and princes who are trying to replace her. This is the story of a real life game of thrones set in the early years when the first of the great heavily armed merchant companies were being formed and Britain was just beginning to grow into a naval and commercial powerhouse that would punch far above its weight in the centuries that followed. It is a good read.

She never expected to meet the likes of Ethan Gordimer... or his best friend Xander Emerson. One chance encounter places all three of them in the same spot at the same time. Will Delilah succumb to their magnetic and irresistible charm or will her straight-laced Southern upbringing keep her on the straight and narrow? British Temptation Part 2: Enraptured Once Ethan and Xander have Delilah behind closed doors, they rock her world in such a mind-blowing way, she’s afraid she might never recover. She can’t thank her lucky stars enough to have not one, but two delicious pieces of ‘man candy’ shower her with so much attention. That said, she never expected them to want to see her again.

Those are just some of the questions clouding Delilah Babcock’s mind as she faces the real possibility of having to leave behind the most perfect relationship she's ever had in her entire life. If you're looking for an uneventful ending to this already smoldering hot series, Part 4 isn't it. Just when you think Scarlett can’t add any more twists and surprises to this story… she does...
