Story
When Adrianna arrives at the small, run-down cottage, near the sea in rural Norfolk, she can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Here she can forget her life in the city, and the problems she’s left behind there, at least for a while. But – like Adrianna herself – the cottage holds secrets. And when Adrianna finds a mysterious bundle of notes hidden under a floorboard, she can’t shake the idea that they’ve been waiting for her. Especially when – in the rambling, overgrown garden – she then finds a strangely-carved stone, drawing her into a centuries-old mystery…

Story
Stephen Crane was born 1st November, 1871 in Newark, New Jersey. Crane only began a full-time education when he was nine but quickly mastered the grades needed to catch up and move forward. Although educated at Lafayette and Syracuse he had little interest in completing university and was keener to move on to a career, declaring college to be ‘a waste of time’. By twenty he was a reporter and two years later had published his debut novel ‘Maggie: A Girl of the Streets’. In literary circles this was hailed as the first work of American literary Naturalism.

Story
After a sinkhole opens in the Antarctic Ocean just off the Ross Ice Shelf a team is sent to investigate and map the uncharted depths. Unfortunately, the adventure is derailed when the team is forced to fend off monstrous sea-life like giant spider crabs, suicidal octopi and a pod of raging-mad killer whales. The coup de grace, though, is the giant eel-like monster that destroys two of the team's exploratory submersibles before trying to take a bite out of the hovering underwater complex itself ... threatening to sink it to the bottom of the 30,000-foot-deep chasm.

Fort Niagara is the key to the American continent. Whoever owns that lonely outpost at the edge of civilisation controls the entire Great Lakes region. Pitt’s grand strategy for 1759 is to launch a three-pronged attack on Canada. One army would move north from Lake Champlain, a second would sail up the St Lawrence to capture Quebec, and a third force would strike across the wilderness to Lake Ontario and French-held Fort Niagara. Commander George Holbrooke is seconded to command the six hundred boats to carry the army through the rivers and across Lake Ontario.
