Book excerpt: "I fight for vengeance. Only vengeance. At night I dream of what was lost, and by day I look to hurt those who took it from me." England: December, 1655. The nation is reeling from the turmoil of bloody civil war, the forces of King Charles have been utterly defeated and England is now in the iron grip of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate. Major Samson Lyle, once a member of Cromwell's Roundhead army, and now the infamous outlaw, Ironside Highwayman, has been forced into exile. Scarred by the massacre of innocents in Ireland he turned his back on the all-conquering English army, but in retaliation his beloved wife Alice was tracked down and killed. Spurred on by revenge Lyle is now the predator, not the prey. The most feared highwayman in all England, he hunts quarry on the nation's roads. Any who performed the duties of a cog in Cromwell's grand machine is under threat. Along with his trusted young ward Bella, and Eustace Grumm, an irascible former smuggler, Lyle has dodged the ever-present threat of capture, but now it is time to bring the fight to his enemies... With a brilliant scheme to bring the army to its knees, Lyle must find a way to destroy his pursuers before they destroy him ... 'Highwayman: Winter Swarm' is a thrilling novella, which blends together action and intrigue. It follows on from 'Highwayman: Ironside'. "Masterful storytelling... Michael Arnold has forged together a hero and plot which will please his current fans and doubtless win over some new ones too." - Richard Foreman, author of 'Sword of Rome'. Praise for Michael Arnold: 'You can smell the gunpowder and hear the cannon fire . . . Arnold's passion for the period suffuses every page' - Robyn Young, author of the Brethren trilogy. "Read this book for historical entertainment backed by extensive research of the time we and you will not be disappointed. Every major scene is based on fact, the feeling of the atrocious weather of the period, the fierce brutality of civil war and the fervour of both sides is apparent on virtually every page. I am certainly going to get the first book and am pleased that Mr Arnold has promised, 'Captain Stryker will return'." - John Ruse, English Civil War Society "Captain Stryker is a character well able to attract readers on his own merits.... Many of the most famous engagements of the civil war are still to come, and the enigmatic Stryker's involvement in them promises much entertainment." - Nick Rennison, The Sunday Times "Captures the grittiness, as well as the doomed glamour, of the Royalist cause." - Charles Spencer, author of 'Prince Rupert: The Last Cavalier' Michael Arnold's interest in British history is lifelong, and childhood holidays were spent visiting castles and battlefields. He became a Sharpe junkie at the age of 13, and his particular fascination with the seventeenth century was piqued partly by the fact that his hometown Petersfield is steeped in the history of the period. Michael is the bestselling author of Traitor's Blood and Assassin's Reign. He is also the author of the short story Stryker and the Angels of Death. Michael is the first historical series novelist of our time to have used the English Civil Wars as his backdrop, and, in this exclusive new sequence of Highwayman novellas, turns his attention to the period when England was a republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Weimar Republic, popular culture was the scene of heated controversies that tested the limits of national cohesion. How could marginal figures like a stigmatized villager, a grub street writer, or an advocate for nudism become flashpoints of political conflict? Peter S. Fisher draws on Siegfried Kracauer's trenchant observations on Weimar's contradictions to knit these exemplary stories together. Following his methodology, society's underdogs take center stage, pushing the headline makers into the background.

Commanded to spy on the luscious actress Amelia Fox, Darcy must pretend to be her student for a court theatrical. He is certain he can school her in the art of seduction while discovering if she is a traitor. But to his shock, he finds Mrs. Fox teaching him an entirely different kind of lesson. As London's most popular actress, Amelia is famous at court, and she doesn't have a husband to tell her what do. Unfortunately, the king has ordered her to train the rakehell, Lord Chase to act for the court. Before long, the Earl is driving her wild with desire and awakening her heart to love. As an actress, society dictates she can never be more than Lord Chase's mistress, and Amelia has vowed never to be less than a lady. When Darcy learns the witty actress is indeed linked to a traitor, he'll have to decide if love or loyalty will rule the day.
