A stirring adventure novel set amid the tumultuous clashes between the Roman and Carthaginian empires, battling for control of the Mediterranean, north Africa and Rome itself.
The tale that is about to be told takes place once more on the mysterious world that is Insectdom, albeit at a different time and a different place. Once again, the three mighty KaldreGrizwald, Mzlak, and Lazimffwill step into the frame of the story, in very different circumstances to the ones they found themselves in so long ago in the now distant past. Almost one thousand years have passed since the ending of the terrible war against the Erkns that devastated much of the continent. The hordes of the underworld are long gone, and the great realms that had once been consumed by flames have now been restored to their former glory. The world has moved on and prospered since those dark days, much to the relief of those old enough to remember more evil times. Alas, all is not well. There are new rumblings of discontent that now trouble the great sorcerers. There are numerous reports of violent raids carried out against Insect settlements along the northern coastlines by mysterious assailants. These vicious pirates leave no trace of their origin or existence, except their allegiance to an unknown sovereign: a so-called Master of the Sea. Faced with such uncertainty, the three sorcerers must put their regular diplomatic duties to one side and discover the lair of these naval brigands before they can strike again. Together with a hastily organized crew of merchants, royalty, mercenaries, and soldiers, they will sail out into the vast largely unexplored expanses of the Northern Sea, quite unsure of what exactly they will find. Little do they know that they will come across a civilization so ancient, so sophisticated, and more fearsome than they could possibly imagine.
This is a true story about a man who was passionate about airplanes--flying them, designing them and building them. His innovative designs and creative vision were so much a part of aviation history that his breakthrough biplane design, the Staggerwing, shown on the cover of this book, hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. Ted Wells not only designed the Staggerwing, but also the Model 18 and many other extremely popular and enduring commercial and military aircraft. Beech Aircraft, the company he co-founded with Walter and Olive Ann Beech, continues to build planes to a standard influenced by Ted's contribution to pioneering aviation. While best known for his career in aeronautics, Ted Wells was equally passionate about sailboats and became a competitive sailor of great skill. He sailed at a level of performance that literally exceeded all others. Twice he was awarded the World Championship for the Snipe class of sailboats after winning against national champions from many countries. Ted Wells was an extraordinarily talented and accomplished individual who put his unique stamp on the most exciting technology of his era. This is his story.
Against a backdrop of the clash of the Roman and Carthaginian empires, the battle for sovereignty takes place on the high seas
Aboard his boat the Chita Verde, Captain Cristorio passes his life sailing among archipelagos of islands and the immensity of the open waters, searching for his beloved dragged off in his youth by ocean monsters. Along the way he encounters ghost ships and mysterious sea creatures, shipwrecked sailors and abandoned islands.
This “thoroughly researched and sharply opinionated” biography presents a nuanced portrait of the renowned 18th century navigator (The Wall Street Journal). The age of discovery was at its peak in the eighteenth century, with bold adventurers charting the furthest reaches of the globe. Foremost among these explorers was Captain James Cook of the British Royal Navy. Recent writers have viewed Cook through the lens of colonial exploitation, regarding him as a villain. While they raise important issues, many of these critical accounts overlook his major contributions to science, navigation and cartography. In Captain Cook, Frank McLynn re-creates the voyages that took the famous navigator from his native England to the outer reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Although Cook died in a senseless, avoidable conflict with the people of Hawaii, McLynn illustrates that to the men with whom he served, Cook was master of the seas and nothing less than a titan. McLynn reveals Cook's place in history as a brave and brilliant yet tragically flawed man.
Atticus and his companion legionary, Septimus, are confirmed in their roles in the expanded Roman Navy. Their opposition, the Carthaginians are on the warpath, determined not only to reconquer Sicily, but also to take the attack to Rome itself.
Mari Prothero turns sixteen, and learns the family fishing luck depends on each generation marrying a sea-dweller, but she demands her choice of suitors and a teacher from the sea ruler. In London, the stuffy official magicians send a pair of friends to seek the new water mage, little knowing the three girls would become best friends.
Ages 9 to 12 years. A must-have for any home or school library, this fascinating book highlights 30 of the most fascinating creatures in the sea. The beautiful full-colour photographs and interesting descriptions highlighting the design features of each creature make this book a must read.
