A study of the Classis Britannica, Rome's British Channel Fleet, which existed for around 200 years, but which left very little evidence of its passing. This book concentrates on researching the evidence for the Fleet's forts and harbours in the English counties of Kent and Sussex, the only places where the Fleet's stamped tiles have been found.
This second edition of 'A Posture of Defence' differs from the first edition only in having black-and-white illustrations, rather than coloured ones. Using mostly contemporary documents and letters, this short book tells the story of the intermittent building, for over one hundred years, of Chatham's 'Lines' - the Lines of Fire which would have defended the town's Royal Dockyard from an attack over land, expected almost daily during the Seven Years' War, the American Revolution and the Napoleonic War.

A reprint of an earlier version of the same novel, this story is (very loosely) based on the Role Playing Game of 'Omnifray', designed by Matthew J. West. The story takes place in 'The Shrouded Lands' where magic is hidden and superstition is rife. A young warrior, Marek z'Drubov, agrees to become the champion of the goddess of the Dawn Light, Erria, and rid the forest of Duran Fal of all the evil beings, living and undead, which infest it. Joined by Stepan, a herbalist and fellow Brother of the Order of the Leaf, Marek rides out to do Erria's bidding. From then on, his life gets very interesting.
