Spymaster

The dramatic story of a man who stood at the center of British intelligence operations, the ultimate spymaster of World War Two: Thomas Kendrick Thomas Kendrick (1881–1972) was central to the British Secret Service from its beginnings through to the Second World War. Under the guise of "British Passport Officer," he ran spy networks across Europe, facilitated the escape of Austrian Jews, and later went on to set up the "M Room," a listening operation which elicited information of the same significance and scope as Bletchley Park. Yet the work of Kendrick, and its full significance, remains largely unknown. Helen Fry draws on extensive original research to tell the story of this remarkable British intelligence officer. Kendrick’s life sheds light on the development of MI6 itself—he was one of the few men to serve Britain across three wars, two of which while working for the British Secret Service. Fry explores the private and public sides of Kendrick, revealing him to be the epitome of the "English gent"—easily able to charm those around him and scrupulously secretive.

Joab

So you think you know about King David? The question is: Which David? The David of Sunday school—shepherd boy, killer of Goliath, and plucker of harp? But what about the brigand, murderer, rapist, adulterer, poet, and king? David was all these things. Yet his real story has lain quite undisturbed in the Bible and obscured by centuries of legend. Thanks to the quantum universe we inhabit, you can step through the veil of time and death in order to observe David yourself, guided by his nephew, army commander, and “fix-it man,” Joab. Go where few people (apart from those who have had near-death experiences) have gone and returned: Sheol, Hades, Paradise, the Land of No Return. By the power and speed of thought, enter the multiverse of “life continuing” and let Joab show you firsthand his uncle David. But be warned, you will never again read the Bible as a tired, old text. Rather, it will sparkle with new expression and meaning. Author and Hebrew Bible scholar Jack Lawson opens the world of Hebrew narrative by retelling the David story afresh and placing it within a fictional setting for what simply becomes a compelling story.
