The Sender of the Dreams - Bill Page - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

November, AD 370: Twenty-five years ago, as an old man lay dying in a cold city beside the Rhine, he told a five year old boy stories of the time, some sixty years earlier, when the rebel emperors Carausius and Allectus seized power in Northern Gaul and Britannia. So why now, accused of bringing about the murder of a provincial governor by sorcery and under threat of execution, does Canio begin hearing the old man’s voice in his dreams? Hearing again the same stories and remembering the things that his child’s mind had long forgotten. Past and present unfold in parallel – in wintry Londinium, across a stormy sea, in the warmth and bright sunlight of a May countryside, and finally back to a villa at the foot of the Long Limestone Hills. And to a strange epiphany.

Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln - Tony Mcmahon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Jack the Ripper and Abraham Lincoln - Tony Mcmahon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

An astonishing connection between two of the 19th century’s greatest crimes. A fraudulent doctor, Francis Tumblety, is implicated in both the 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and the 1888 Jack the Ripper killings. It seems incredible that Jack the Ripper could have been involved in killing President Lincoln, but the evidence is revealed in this book. We delve into a murky underworld in America’s Gilded Age and the poverty ridden slums of London’s Whitechapel district following the murderous trail left by Tumblety. A flamboyant huckster, well known in the newspaper gossip columns, whose celebrity masked his homicidal tendencies. Arrested over the Lincoln assassination then released while others were hanged on the scaffold. Put behind bars briefly by Scotland over the Jack the Ripper killings but then makes a daring escape. The proof is overwhelming that Tumblety was one of the most dangerous criminals of the 19th century.

Shattered Pretensions - Colin M. Andrews - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Two very different stories in which the actions of a young teacher have devastating and career-threatening consequences... Shattered Pretensions brings together a short story and a full-length story into one novel. In the short story, ‘Fragile’, a headmaster standing as a parliamentary candidate is reluctant to answer allegations in the local press concerning the mysterious disappearance of his wife many years earlier. Written with a sprinkling of black humour, the main story, ‘Out Of This World’, focuses on the tensions generated among the teenage students participating in an ambitious, extended role-play exercise. Their aggravation explodes beyond the classroom, triggering a catastrophic series of events. Real-time action in the school runs parallel with the reflections and aspirations of the teacher, Martyn Carberry, and the diary of Lizzie, an immature young female student. Shattered Pretensions is an intriguing novel that forces the reader to ask themselves: “What would I have done?” Author Colin is inspired by the writing of Ian Rankin and James Runcie.

From Beacon Fires to Fibre Broadband - Dr Stephen Unger - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From Beacon Fires to Fibre Broadband - Dr Stephen Unger - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Broadband networks are now an essential utility. They bind our society together, and they underpin the operation of any modern economy. But our dependence on these networks is, in historical terms, a recent phenomenon. For thousands of years, our ancestors were limited to sending simple messages using chains of beacon fires. Just over 200 years ago, beacon fires were replaced by the first telecommunications networks. Since then, repeated waves of disruptive innovation have driven dramatic growth in the volume and variety of data we all consume. This book describes how we have achieved this transformation. A recurring theme is the way in which each new communications technology has been created by innovators, harnessed by entrepreneurs and regulated by public authorities. The book brings this to life by describing the parallel histories of telecommunications in four countries – France, Germany, the UK and the US. It concludes with a summary of lessons learnt – history provides no easy answers to the questions we face today, but those who fail to learn from it are certainly doomed to repeat it.

Last Days in Berlin - Mark Harris - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Last Days in Berlin - Mark Harris - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Londoner Steve, a retired professional and published fiction author in his early sixties, is on a creative journey in Berlin. Being Jewish, he harbours some ambivalence about a city he has visited many times, and even before the Berlin Wall came down, though Steve has always sought to understand its intriguingly complex and enigmatic character. With his wife’s blessing, he resides alone in a rented apartment in his favoured leafy and trendy neighbourhood of Prenzlauer Berg. Steve feels that he now is getting to grips with the German capital’s postmodern zeitgeist, revealing itself against the still echoing vibes of a turbulent 20th century history. His aim is to complete the first draft of a contemporary novel set in this enterprising, cosmopolitan, easygoing, even indulgent metropolis. But he would never have anticipated embarking on a parallel journey, a voyage of self-discovery – with two fellow passengers, two women, neither of them his wife – that could end in tragedy... Last Days in Berlin offers a unique perspective of Berlin through the eyes of a man whose own personal dilemmas seem to mirror the city’s own uncertainties.

A Very Simple Secret - Judi Conner - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Judi’s parents were on a mission to remake the world. These were the Cold War years of the 1950s and ‘60s, following a catastrophic world war and the breaking up of colonial empires. The couple had joined many others in giving up conventional careers and family life to work for Moral Re-Armament (MRA), an extensive global movement in its hey-day. Their life goal was to build a ‘hate-free, fear-free, greed-free world’. Between the ages of four and twelve Judi stayed in a series of shared homes and boarding schools while her parents travelled. Uncertain where she belonged, she dreaded being asked what her father did or where she lived, becoming anxious and guarded, almost to breaking point. The author interweaves her unusual childhood memoir with her parents’ parallel story, pieced together from contemporary archives and accounts. She offers a unique insight into the work of the controversial MRA movement, encouraging readers to draw their own conclusions. Judi Conner’s book propels readers back to the mid-20th century era when a war of ideas raged, a new world order was being fought over and high ideals came at a price.

Joshua's Dream - Michael Lamb - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Joshua's Dream - Michael Lamb - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In this thought-provoking and intriguing fantasy, set in a parallel world to our own, the reader must accompany the quasi-biblical figure of Joshua, as he slips easily and compellingly between different time-perspectives and across various continents. In so doing it becomes apparent that the wayfarer has embarked upon a strange, almost surreal odyssey, one in which he is challenged both existentially and spiritually. In encounters with a colourful spectrum of characters the protagonist is repeatedly obliged to defend not only his faith in God, but also his personal hopes that a life after death be both justified and congruent with reality. At times his journey is illumined, at other times made fraught, by the possibilities and limitations alike of friendship and love. Moreover, he is obliged to encounter a variety of individuals who confront him with their own locales and ways of life: not least, an alien people for whom his personal philosophy of life is neither apt nor necessary. Ageing all the while, he experiences dimensions akin to our own, whether it be a busy metropolis, a rural backwater, or, for that matter, an old people’s home. Reading occasionally like an allegory or parable, this is a story which will interest all who are dissatisfied with secularity and who search for a deeper meaning to complement and make more purposeful their lives. It is a work to which the reader may return to engage with favourite episodes, or again with the protagonist’s journey taken as a whole.
