He should be dead a dozen times over. Evidently, fate has other plans. The year is 1631, and France lies in ruins after five long years under a devastating Curse. Its only hope—the magical bloodlines of a deposed queen in hiding, hunted by her enemies. Fleeing the carnage in Gascony, Charles d’Artagnan abandons the ashes of his former life to seek better opportunities in Paris. With his land gone and his family among the countless dead, he has nothing left to lose and little to gain beyond mere survival. Magic—once a useful tool for those rare individuals who still possess it—has become a weapon of incomparable power and destructiveness employed by France’s bitter rival, Spain. Wit...
This informative and loving memoir about the life and times of author Frank Morgan tells the story of his years in East Africa with his beloved wife. But the story is even much richer than that, in that it also covers twelve decades of time in an area of the world most can only dream about. Now age 88 and retired, the author has always wanted to share his East African adventures, as well as his work for the British government in the development of the region. Morgan also tells of his ancestors' involvement in East Africa and the Seychelles that began in 1830. His epic story takes readers up to the year 1958. Reflections of Twelve Decades is a fascinating mixture of what ifs and what could have beens.

A pediatrician, provincial politician, and pioneer of interfaith dialogue, Victor Goldbloom (b. 1923) has led a rich and varied life.

In 1970 he became the first member of Quebec’s...
The Reunion of the Musketeers: In this sequel to "The Three Musketeers," d'Artagnan has completely lost touch with his friends. The group has been broken up. The two noblemen, Arthos and Porthos, have left the service and are living on their estates, Aramis has gone into the Church, and d'Artagnan alone is still in the King's guard. When Queen Anne needs again the group's service, Cardinal Mazarin commissions d'Artagnan to go in search of his friends. "Twenty Years After" follows events in France during a civil war (the "Fronde," 1648-1653), and in England at the time of Oliver Cromwell until the execution of King Charles I.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
