Petra and Daniel have little use for the quaint fishing Village their parents have forced them to visit on holiday. They don't know that this Village has a legacy of Dragons. Much more fun than exploring museums or picturesque ruins, a small stone on a lonely beach offers them the chance to perform magic, match wits with elementals, steal hearts, go to war, write poetry, escape from a pirate, and sail "The Laughing Princess." Their dull, rainy world will never be the same. From the pen of the celebrated author of The Astreya Trilogy, these fantastic and slightly melancholy stories are sure to resonate with the questions you carry deep down inside as you go about your everyday life.
The Hippies Who Meant It tells the story of Beth, a 60's orphan flower-child, Joe, a wheeler-dealer from the Bronx, and Dick, a Canadian ex-cadet, who dropped out - or were thrown out - of the 50s culture.
Autumn 1941 and a fierce war rages amid the treacherous waters of the Dover Strait. It is fought by the gun and torpedo boats of Britain's Coastal Forces: fast, frail vessels that do battle against the best of Germany's Kriegsmarine. The crews are mainly volunteers; men plucked from civilian life and new to the maelstrom of brutal combat. Each take a different route to meet such a personal challenge and prove every bit as powerful, and vulnerable, as the craft in which they serve.The gripping naval action in Hellfire Corner is set against a backdrop of war-ravaged Dover, a town reeling from the terrors of nightly air raids and daily artillery bombardment.Authentic detail, tense personal dynamics and tales of individual heroism combine to give a rare and compelling insight into a fascinating aspect of World War Two history.
