The summer of 1971
Wild becomes even wilder in the second of the Angel series, An Old Chaos of the Sun. Angel works all summer in the paper mill before returning for his senior year of college. Angel's ex, Maggie, deals with the loss of Angel and her transfer to Dartmouth. Wanda the Fair lurks in the wings. Lots of literature combined, as always, with sex, drugs, rock and roll. An uncompromisingly romantic and erotic comedy. The setting is the advent of Women's Liberation, and Angel shows a remarkable understanding of the female psyche in its nascent transition to the new woman.
At home equally in Palatka, Florida or on the Dartmouth campus, Angel finds love (and pleasure) in nearly every second of his life. You will, too.

Автор: Braithwaite Rodric Название: Armageddon and Paranoia ISBN: 1781257191 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781781257197 Издательство: Profile Рейтинг: Цена: 25300.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: In 1945, the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and warfare was never the same again. Armageddon and Paranoia relates how the power of the atom was harnessed to produce weapons capable of destroying human civilisation and considers what this has done to the world. There are few villains in this story: on both sides of the Iron Curtain, dedicated scientists cracked the secrets of nature, dutiful military men planned out possible manoeuvres and politicians wrestled with potentially intolerable decisions.
Patriotic citizens acquiesced to the idea that their country needed the ultimate means of defence. Some tried to grapple with the unanswerable question: what end could possibly be served by such fearsome means? Those who protested went unheard. None of them wanted to start a nuclear war, but all of them were paranoid about what the other side might do.
The danger of annihilation by accident or misjudgement has not been entirely absent since. Rodric Braithwaite, author of bestsellers Moscow 1941 and Afgantsy, paints a vivid and detailed portrait of this intense period in history. Its implications are terrifyingly relevant today, as ignorant and thoughtless talk about nuclear war begins to spread once more.

A dangerous ambition. A Popish plot. A marriage at risk.
London, 1678
Anne Thompson has left a life of luxury and comfort to marry Nat, an ambitious writer and Licenser of King Charles II's Presses: but married life isn't quite what either of them expected. Nat's work is time-consuming, with religious sedition on the rise, and Titus Oates' tales of a Popish plot fueling bigotry against Catholics and causing panic on the streets of London.
When he is caught up in the investigation of the murder of a prominent Protestant magistrate, Anne, lonely and frustrated, wonders what kind of man Nat really is.
Is he right that this murder is not what it seems, or is Nat's ambition leading them toward disaster? Should Anne become involved, as he risks his livelihood, his freedom and their marriage in pursuit of the truth about Titus Oates?
Based on the true events of the Popish Plot in late 17th century England, The Road to Newgate is a historical mystery thriller and love story perfect for fans of Andrew Taylor and Philippa Gregory.

"...excellently written, filled with facts and hints of fiction, intensely inviting characters (primary and secondary), eye-catching building of the mind to step back in time to the 17th century.
