Book excerpt: The Crime of the Century. The biggest train heist in Britain’s history. The Great Train Robbery. In the early hours of Thursday, 8th August 1963, a fifteen-strong gang stole £2.6 million (£45 million of today’s money) from the Glasgow to London mail train at Sears Crossing, Buckinghamshire. The crime was so epic; every single development of the case was followed tirelessly by the press. Countless books have since been published and, even today, films, television dramas and documentaries continue to study the smallest of details of one of the most daring and cleverly concocted criminal plans of all-time. Much of the gang were later captured and paid the price with lengthy jail sentences. But 50 years on, many still question who the real mastermind behind the plot. For years most people accepted that Bruce Reynolds was but is that really the case? One man knows the answer and the true identity of the man behind the robbery all too well. In this engrossing biography, the only living person who personally knows the real mastermind revisits the Great Train Robbery and rewrites history as we know it. Full of explosive, fresh revelations, The Secret Train Robber sees the final piece of the puzzle firmly set in place and the name of one of Britain’s most sophisticated criminal minds ever is finally revealed.

Yet we cannot deny that these creatures were once human. They are solicited from both the living and the dead. They hunt us and harbor no mercy. Joanna is hanging onto her former life as best she can, but now she sees things only the Turned are rumored to witness. The crimson clouds of the Cataclysm leer on as Joanna embarks upon her destiny.

Book excerpt: Three days after his victory over Santa Anna's army, Sam Houston still lay in his tent on the battlefield at San Jacinto. His left leg throbbed with the pain of a compound fracture inflicted by an enemy bullet. He was angry. His ragtag, outnumbered volunteer army contained Texans, Tennesseans, and Louisianans, but almost none of the nearby landowners, despite his plea for help two days before the battle. Perhaps driven by that fevered anger, Houston struck back at them. The instrument of his retaliation was another local landowner. David Kokernot knew his neighbors and the neighborhood and took the assignment with apparent relish. He would regret it forever.This meticulously researched biography details Kokernot's life from his birth in Amsterdam to his time with the alcoholic pilots at the mouth of the Mississippi River, to his actions in the Texas Revolution which earned him the scorn of his superiors and neighbors. It follows him afterwards as he retreats to more remote counties of Texas, living as a dry-goods merchant and modest cattle rancher, one who watched his sons succeed among the largest ranchers in the state.Students of Texas history will be pleased with the many historic sketches, photographs, and newly created maps which illustrate this life of an unpopular and misunderstood Texian.
