1066
A radical retelling of the most important event in English history - the Norman invasion of 1066.
Hereward
After the Norman victory in Hastings in 1066, William the Conqueror's oppression of the English led to widespread famine, death and destruction. Returning from Flanders to find his country taken over by the Normans, Hereward, embarked on a path of resistance. This work rescues Hereward from the myths associated with his life and career.
A Death at the Palace
Reporter Rex Tracey has just recovered from his affair with Lithuanian artist Milda Majauskas when she disappears. He's got other concerns, not least an anti-immigration group spreading hate across Tottenham, and a string of attacks on young women at the local beauty spot, Alexandra Palace. But when Milda's body is found, and Rex becomes a murder suspect, he is forced to seek answers.
Harold II
Harold Godwinson was king of England for less than a year and failed to defend England from William the Conqueror's invading Norman army in 1066, an army that wreaked havoc across the country and changed the political history of England forever.

The Battle of Hasting was a close-run battle that could have gone either way—England would be a very different place today had the fatal arrow missed Harold's eye.

In eight chapters, the volume examines and illuminates Herder’s conception of human freedom in connection with time; the importance of the concept of forces (Kräfte) for a dynamic ontology; human beings’ sensuous experience of inner and external temporality; Herder’s conception of Bildung, speculations on extra-terrestrial beings and on different perceptions of time; ...

The Tottenham Outrage
When an entire family of Hasidic Jews dies suddenly while picnicking in Finsbury Park, local news reporter Rex Tracey is almost thankful - finally he has something to write about apart from dog-fouling hotspots and diverted bus routes. Then his long-time colleague and friend Terry is accused of murder, and Rex is catapulted out of his Polish beer-soaked comfort zone into a disturbing world of religious bigotry, hatred and fear.
