It is 1831, riots and rebellions are widespread • In England, the new government is facing protests against the attempts of the Tory-dominated House of Lords to thwart the passing of the Reform Bill. In India, relations are strained between the presidency of Madras and some of the neighbouring princely states • Having taken command of the action in Bristol to restore order after one of the bloodiest and most destructive riots in the nation's history, Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Hervey is out of favour with the new government. But then his old friend, Sir Eyre Somervile, offers him a lifeline. Somervile has persuaded the Court of Directors of the East India Company to approve an increase in the Madras military establishment. Hervey and the 6th Light Dragoons are sent to the princely state of Coorg

Некроманты Бошелейн и Корбал Броуч - бичи цивилизации, воскрешающие мертвых, пожиратели душ живых, пожиратели надежды, предатели веры, убийцы невинных и скромных олицетворений зла - должны за многое ответить, и они ответят, но сначала они должны солгать, убить и обманом пробираются еще через три авантюры в некоторых из наиболее неблагополучных окраин и обнищавших сообществ Малазанской империи. К большому стыду их многострадального главного помощника, Эмансипора Риза • Итак, вот - для удовольствия и развлечения читателей - эти эскапады, а именно новелла "Тропа Крэка", "Вурмы из Блэрмута" и "Изверги Кошмарии" • Книга на английском языке • The necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - scourges of civilization, raisers of the dead, reapers of the souls of the living, devourers of hope, betrayers of faith, slayers of the innocent and modest personifications of evil - have a lot to answer for and answer they will, but first they must lie, murder and cheat their way through three more escapades in some of the more deprived fringes and impoverished communities of the Malazan Empire

The radio war of 1939-45 is one of the great scientific battles in history • This is the story of that war • Relying on first-hand accounts as well as papers recently released by the Admiralty, The Battle of the Beams fills a huge missing piece in the canon of WW2 literature • It combines history, science, derring do and dogged determination and will appeal as much to fans of WW2 history as to those fascinated by the science behind the beams that changed our lives • The British believed that, through ingenuity and scientific prowess, they alone have a war-winning weapon: radar. They are wrong. The Germans have it too • They believe that their unique maritime history means their pilots have no need of navigational aids. Flying above the clouds they, like the seafarers of old, had the stars to guide them, and that is all that is required
