The Sapphire Sea: A Matt Ransom Mystery by Bobby Underwood (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

With its sexy mix of thrilling action and tangible sensuality, and a willingness to tackle subjects such as abuse and incest, suicide and faith within an entertaining sci-fi/mystery series often focused on global conspiracies in a world devoid of real love, The Sapphire Sea might just be the finest and most entertaining entry yet in the Matt Ransom canon. Big and sprawling -- there are over thirty pivotal and recurring characters -- yet almost uncomfortably intimate at times, the world of Matt Ransom is both intoxicating and addictive. By the seventh entry the world of Matt Ransom had moved from a dystopian Earth to one nearly fully recovered. In the previous entry, A Matt Ransom Christmas, readers were treated to intrigue as well as an ode to that most cherished of holidays. A startling story-line began to emerge that promised to rock this world to its foundations. That promise is fulfilled in The Sapphire Sea, a morally and sensually complex tearing down of everything readers thought they understood about this world. The Sapphire Sea remains true to all the intricate story-lines which preceded it, not to mention those all-important relationships, yet takes this most unique series in new and fresh directions. A Matt Ransom entry with one poignant moment after another, more achingly sensual encounters than can be counted, and a thrilling revenge and conspiracy story which moves like lightning despite being interwoven with the moral quandary Matt finds himself facing. The Sapphire Sea is the most ambitious Matt Ransom entry to date, which is saying a great deal. Stunning and heartbreaking, this one is so shocking, readers will find themselves asking: "Did that just happen?" A lot does happens here that could not have been anticipated by readers, including some deeply moving departures of beloved characters. A tearful yet uplifting ending make this one of the most memorable entries in the entire Matt Ransom canon.

It is also a Romeo and Juliet story set in the wilderness. Nineteen year-old blacksmith John Jewitt is one of only two survivors after his crewmates clash with the fierce Mowachaht tribe in the Pacific Northwest. A life of slavery awaits John and his fellow survivor, a belligerent American sailmaker, in a village ruled by the iron fist of Maquina, the all-powerful chief. Desperate to taste freedom again, they make several doomed escape attempts over mountains and sea. Only their value to the tribe and John's relationship with Maquina prevents their captors from killing them. As the seasons pass, John 'goes Indian' after falling in love with Eu-stochee, a beautiful maiden. This further alienates him from his fellow captive whose defiance leads to violent consequences. In the bloodshed that follows, John discovers another side to himself - a side he never knew existed and a side he detests. His desire to be reunited with the family and friends he left behind returns even stronger than before. The stakes rise when John learns Eu-stochee is pregnant. When a final opportunity to escape arises, he must choose between returning to civilization or staying with Eu-stochee and their newborn son.

Luke has always idolised this man he never met as someone who died trying to save drowning sailors. Jorge finds evidence for Luke's apparent suicide less than convincing, the more he learns about his good work as chaplain in the local prison for sex offenders. Also, Luke was preparing to officiate at his sister Ellie's wedding in nearby Berkeley Castle. It seems unlikely that he was intending to disappear, so what changed his mind? What secret? Luke's criminal parents ran the Severn Sea Gang in the 1970s and 80s, burgling large stately homes, until his father Rex Lyons fatally wounded the pregnant Lady Sara Greene, for which he was sentenced to life in prison. Sara's baby daughter Eva had to be cut from her womb. Embittered inmate Frank Cordell tells Jorge that he shared a cell with Rex before he was stabbed to death in a fight with a fellow prisoner. In his drug-fuelled dreams Rex spoke of a treasure of stolen antiques worth £80 million, accumulated by his gang, but which has never been recovered. Eight months ago, just prior to his disappearance, Frank asked Luke to locate the hoard and use it to finance urgent medical care for his critically ill grandson, whom the NHS had deemed untreatable. Instead, Cordell is convinced that Luke has simply run off with the loot. "Find it, and you'll find the man," he ...

In this fifth novel of Wilder's award-winning Lindsey McCall medical mystery series, her readers will find the innovative medical research loved by her fans, combined with a dramatic courtroom scenario guaranteed to provoke and challenge. In her Foreward, Wilder writes: We fiction writers have a responsibility when creating a character; he or she must sit beside us as we read the story. If she isn't, we haven't done our job. Therefore, writing Dr. T's character forced a plunge into places I had no interest in going. A person like Adam Turner would not have come into this beautiful world looking for a kid to control, manipulate, or wreck. There had to be a reason- that created massive psychic wounds.

The Privateer by Gordon Daviot (47 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

In the sweeping historical epic 'The Privateer,' Gordon Daviot (pseudonym of famous Josephine Tey) pens the life and triumphs of Henry Morgan, a Welsh pirate turned hero, within the rich tapestry of 17th-century Caribbean conflicts. The narrative, characterized by its sharp detail and engagement with themes of freedom, ambition, and the tides of colonial power struggles, follows Morgan from his ignominious beginnings as an enslaved man in Barbados to his remarkable rise as the Lieutenant-Governor of Jamaica. Through the lens of Morgan's capture of a Spanish ship, Tey demonstrates a deep understanding of the era's social and political intricacies, making the novel an exemplary piece of historical fiction with a literary style that brings this perilous period of piracy and war vividly to life. The author, known for rigorously researched historical narratives, seems to have drawn from a deep well of historical knowledge and fascination with the Caribbean colonial power dynamics. The portrayal of Henry Morgan is possibly reflective of a keen interest in the paradoxes of piracy -- often deemed a lawless enterprise, yet in Morgan's case, one that led to legal authority and respectability. Daviot's background, potentially steeped in history and literature, positions him to construct a protagonist who is as complex as he is charismatic, bridging the gulf between outlaw and official with nuanced storytelling. Josephine Tey wrote this novel under her pseudonym, Gordon Daviot. This was last book, a romantic novel based on the life of the privateer Henry Morgan.
