Lord Wilden, Philippe’s cousin, is charged with overseeing the mission. As the revolutionary forces savagely clash with the combined strength of the British naval power and the French royalist rebels still harkening for the return of the monarchy, defeat for either side will prove utterly devastating. And Philippe, stuck far away from the action, will have to contend not just with the impending destruction of his own future, but the risk of losing everyone he holds dear.

Paddy is the only son of perhaps the most famous pigeons in all of England. In somewhat unusual circumstances, he finds himself alone, on a journey of self-discovery, on the wintry, unforgiving streets of London. His destination? Trafalgar Square, aka pigeon paradise.

If he ever makes it home, will he live up to the successes of his parents? Will he find paradise? Will he become his own bird? Expect lots of absurdly unexpected birdy behaviour: cooking, philanthropy, fashion design, with a dash of romance, a helping of skullduggery, and, perhaps more expectedly, copious amounts of birdpoo. A great read for young and old alike. Check out callumpbrown.com for the audio edition.
