Von George A. Birmingham Ein Roman um Mord und Spionage zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in Irland. Unterstützen Spione des Deutschen Kaiserreichs die Rebellion in Irland? Ein spannender historischer Thriller von George A. Birmingham. Das Sommersemester endete für Frank Mannix in einem Feuerwerk des Ruhms. Es war die allgemein akzeptierte Meinung in der Schule, dass sein brillanter Fang im langen Feld - ein Fang, der den Kapitän von Uppingham aus dem Weg räumte - der entscheidende Faktor für den Sieg im wichtigsten aller Spiele war. Und der Sieg war besonders erfreulich, denn Haileybury war zuvor fünf Jahre lang besiegt worden. Es bestand kein Zweifel daran, dass die sechzig Punkte ohne Aus von Mannix im ersten Innings den Sieg im "Cock House"-Spiel ermöglichten und dass seine Leistung als Bowler, erster Wechsel, im zweiten Innings die begehrte Trophäe, einen Silberpokal, für Edmonstone House sicherte. Diese Leistungen wurden von Mr. Dupré, dem Hausherrn, in einer netten Rede festgehalten, die er bei einem Festmahl im Klassenzimmer hielt, um den Ruhm des Hauses zu feiern. Als die Teller der Elf schließlich von der Kirschtorte abgeräumt und die Becher mit dem harmlosesten Rotwein nachgefüllt waren, erhob sich Mr. Dupré von seinem Platz.
The Daughter of Rome (The Emissaries Book #3)
"I love the way Hunt weaves history throughout to bring readers into ancient times. The book is rich in detail, and the characters are fully rendered."--FRANCINE RIVERS, bestselling author of Redeeming Love on The Woman from Lydia In Nero's Rome, Calandra helps her father, a renowned sculptor, complete the most significant commission of his illustrious career. But then a catastrophic fire nearly destroys the imperial city, leaving Calandra reliant on a group of Christians--unusual individuals unlike any she has encountered before. Intrigued by their worship of the Son of an invisible God, Calandra grapples with her mistrust, only to find herself indebted to these believers as they help her rebuild her shattered world. When Emperor Nero begins constructing his opulent Golden House, the people of Rome grow resentful, suspecting him of starting the fire in order to clear the land for his immense palace. Needing a scapegoat, Nero points at those who follow the Jewish Messiah, forcing Calandra to make an impossible choice between right and wrong, friends and family, love and death.

In the time of Vespasian, just after Rome has crushed the Jewish Revolt, Julius Varro, a Roman Questor (an investigating magistrate )is commissioned to investigate the story that a Jew rose from the dead after being crucified in Jerusalem. Because the fast-growing Nazarene sect founded by the martyr's followers is becoming a threat to the stability of the region, there is much riding on debunking the story. Questor Varro has to deal with the evidence that goes back forty years, with most witnesses long dead and the living ones lying to protect themselves. But he is intent on producing a report that will demolish the claims of these religious fanatics. His investigation stirs intrigue, religious passion, and violence, to say nothing of an attraction to a beautiful Jewish slave girl. Questor Varro's report methodically destroys the myth fueling the newborn Christian movement. But then an extraordinary event occurs that changes everything.
