"The box, skillfully fashioned from wood and with a pattern of stars inlaid on its side, was clearly very old.
Intrigued by its age and craftsmanship, David Molloy bought it at the car boot sale in a Glasgow school playground, an acquisition that led to a series of nightmares which grew to exert an increasing influence upon relationship with his partner and his life.
It would lead him into a quest into his ancestry and, in doing, alter his understandings and attitudes forever."
"In 'The Age of Reason', which is a classic in American literature, Thomas Paine argues for the philosophical position of Deism.
It follows in the tradition of 18th century British deism, and challenges institutionalized religion and the legitimacy of the Bible.
Paine's work inspired and guided many free thinkers including Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain and Bertrand Russell."

"This book covers new media opportunities and targeted at both self-published and traditionally-published authors.
All authors want to sell as many copies of their books as possible. They also want to raise their literary profile as high as possible. There are more new routes to publication and also for sales and marketing than ever before. But where does the author start in such a competitive market?
This book sets out clearly the promotional tools available and advises which paths are likely to sell the highest number of copies and which will help to establish the writer's name as a published author. It takes careful planning and know-how, but there is nobody better to promote a book than its author.
The opportunities are out there and this guide will provide the information required."
"What should a deeply religious man do when he is shown an artefact that its current custodian believes contains the cryptic clues to the whereabouts of an ancient document, that when found, would destroy everything he has always believed? When events conspire to send Dr Thomas Bass’s life spiralling out of control – at a time when his mind is tormented by the consequences of how he has lived that life – the search for the ‘truth’ contained on an ancient piece of parchment takes him on a frenzied, turbulent journey of self-discovery. But Dr Thomas Bass is not the only one searching for ‘the truth’."
"'Thinking About Thinking' is a based on a series of lectures delivered at Harvard University in 1996 by Professors Alan Dershowitz (lawyer), Robert Nozick (philosopher) and Stephen Jay Gould (paleontologist) about perennial issues such as truth, free will, race, gender and religion."
"It is the late autumn of 1854 and the steam gunboat Spartan, commanded by James Rutherford has returned to duty following the repair of her battle damage in Calcutta.
Another, though less powerful, Russian commerce raider is still at large in the China Sea, though as events follow their course, Rutherford is forced to confront the fact that this lesser antagonist might be a more potent adversary than he previously believed."

"When Lieutenant James Rutherford of the Honourable East India Company is summoned to Government House in Calcutta, he has no inkling of what awaits him there. To his great surprise, he is offered command of the Spartan, a newly converted steam warship, receiving orders to proceed to sea to hunt a Chinese pirate, but, though those orders appear straightforward enough, they initiate a deadly sequence of events during which the hunter all too often is the quarry.

Martin Hicks lives in Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire in Scotland and began writing after a career in education. An Independent Command, set in the Far East in the mid-nineteenth century, is his thirteenth book. A sequel to it is currently in preparation."
"It is 1861 and Thomas Grover has resigned from the US Navy to go with his native state of South Carolina which has left the Union. For two years his career in the new Confederate Navy is tedious and unrewarding. He is posted to Britain as a naval attaché, again denied his wish for active service, until he is transferred to Liverpool where he is offered command of a new warship. Grover must get to sea on the ship and see her armed and commissioned as CSS Palmetto, whose mission will be that of a predator, to range the oceans, seeking out and destroying American vessels wherever they are to be found."
