Book excerpt: Timothy Knight appears to be a normal thirteen-year-old boy who enjoys learning the powers of deduction from Dr. Crowne, a British professor of languages; crossing blades with Monsieur Deveaux, a French master of the sword; and hanging out with his friends Anthony, Sammy, Tony, and Baby Joe. Since his brother Michael left home on a sailing vessel, he has a love for ships. His grandfather introduces him to an old friend, Captain Horatio P. Spears. Captain Spears takes Timothy aboard his ship and tells him a story about his rescue at sea by the Seeps Holmen, a Norwegian whaling ship. The captain learns the Seeps Holmen is carrying a secret cargo and is being pursued by an enemy submarine. Captain Spears plots a course to escape the U-boat and whisks the treasure safely up the channel to the Port of Houston. But during a storm, the treasure mysteriously disappears. Timothy Knight shares the captain's tale with his friends, and they devise a plan to find the missing treasure. Little do the boys know that an evil mastermind, the Black Scarab, is obsessed with the treasure—the Mask of Nephthys. His brotherhood of assassins has been sent to steal the mystical relic. The Black Scarab plans to use its power to create an army of immortals and become pharaoh of the world. Now the young knights search for Phantom Island to find the Mask of Nephthys before the earth is plunged into an apocalypse.

Download or read book Britain s Medieval Castles written by Lise E. Hull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-12-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread construction of castles in Britain began as soon as Duke William of Normandy set foot on the shores of southern England in 1066. The castles that were constructed in the ensuing centuries, and whose ruins still scatter the British countryside today, provide us with an enduring record of the needs and ambitions of the times. But the essence of the medieval castle—a structure that is equal parts military, residential, and symbolic—reveals itself not only through the grandeur of such architectural masterpieces as the Tower of London, and the imposing nature of such royal residences as Windsor, but also in the aging masonry carvings, enduring battlements, and more modest earthen ramparts that have survived alongside them. Through a feature-by-feature account of the architectural elements and techniques used in constructing the medieval castle, author Lise Hull allows the multiple functions of these multifarious forms to shine through, and in so doing, lends a new vitality to the thousand faces that the medieval world assumed to discourage its enemies, inspire its friends, and control its subjects. This compelling investigation takes a unique look at each of the medieval castle's main roles: as an offensive presentation and defensive fortification, as a residential and administrative building, and as a symbolic structure demonstrating the status of its owner. Each chapter focuses on one specific role and uses concrete architectural features to demonstrate that aspect of the medieval castle in Britain. A wealth of illustrations is also provided, as is a glossary explaining the distinct parts of the castle and their functions. This book should be of interest to students researching architecture, the Middle Ages, or military history, as well as general readers interested in castles or considering a trip to Britain to observe some of these magnificent sites themselves.
