The Hector Lynch Adventures
The Hanno Stiffeniis Mysteries
by Tim Severin
by Michael Gregorio
The 17th century is a time of hardship and adventure and Hector Lynch gets more than his share of both as he is stolen from an Irish village by Barbary pirates and forced into slavery. How he escapes his captors and becomes a pirate himself is an actionpacked tale full of dark intrigue, fanatical members of knightly orders, sadistic sea captains, unrepentant love, rum-sodden colonial officials and lucky misunderstandings—all based on diaries and logbooks of real Barbary pirates.

“A plot as taut as any mystery lover could want . . . readers can expect stunning—and thought-provoking—reversals before the last clue is deciphered.” —Booklist (starred review)
1. Critique of Criminal Reason U.S. Trade Paperback • $14.95 Detective Hanno Stiffeniis comes to Königsberg to investigate a string of murders. Are they part of Napoleon’s plan to undermine the Prussian king, or the work of a solitary killer? The young detective turns to Immanuel Kant for help in solving the case, for the great philosopher is working on a book examining the minds of serial killers, and what he sees there has never been seen before.

Gladiatrix by Russell Whitfield U.S. Trade Paperback • $14.95 Emperor Domitian’s passion for gladiatorial novelty has given rise to a very different kind of warrior: the gladiatrix. Survivor of a shipwreck, Lysandra becomes the property of the owner of a Ludus for female gladiators. But she refuses to accept her new status as a slave. Forced to fight for survival, her deadly combat skills win the adoration of the crowds and the respect of her owner. But Lysandra’s Spartan pride also earns her powerful enemies . . . “Shines an entirely new light on the glory and the bloodshed of the Roman arena . . . well-rounded characters, nail-biting duels to the death and vividly depicted settings.” —Simon Scarrow
Prussia is occupied by the French. Local magistrate Hanno Stiffeniis has retreated to the country. Then a family is found murdered, and Stiffeniis has little choice but to help Colonel Lavedrine, the occupying French authority. But both men have learned logic from the late Immanuel Kant and they soon form a rivalry to prove which of them is the true heir of Kant’s criminological philosophy.
“Gregorio again demonstrates a rare gift for constructing a compelling whodunit . . . Readers will race through the pages to reach the solution.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
3. A Visible Darkness U.S. Hardcover • $25.95 The French continue to control Prussia, and they are financing their on-going wars with amber from the Black Sea. But their plans stall when the girls who collect the stones are murdered one by one. The French call upon Prussian Hanno Stiffeniis to find the killer, and once again Stiffeniis must use investigative methods he learned from his mentor Immanuel Kant, knowing his success may doom his country’s future.

Timeline-191 Alternate History
To Do and Die
by Harry Turtledove
by Patrick Mercer
Sometimes the smallest accident can completely change the course of history.
U.K. Hardcover • $34.95
What if Robert E. Lee’s plans for his invasion of the North (known as Special Order 191) had not fallen into Union hands? What if the Confederacy had won the Civil War and created the Confederate States of America as an independent country? In Turtledove’s series this is exactly what happens, resulting in an entirely different timeline that is chillingly plausible. The USA and CSA exist side by side, engaging in protracted wars with each other, fostering racism and intolerance in their quest for dominance, and making shocking alliances with other world powers. Narrated by an intriguing cast of soldiers, civilians, politicians and revolutionaries—and featuring real historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, George Armstrong Custer, and Teddy Roosevelt—this is an imaginative fast-moving story of a century that might have been.
“This is state-of-the-art alternate history. Nothing less.” —Publishers Weekly All U.S. Mass-Market Paperbacks

The King Raven Trilogy
by Philip Kerr
by Stephen R. Lawhead
Tight, twisting, compelling thrillers firmly rooted in history Join ex-policeman Bernie Gunther as he negotiates the mean streets of Nazi Berlin trying to stay one step ahead of the Party and its sympathizers. From the rise of the Nazis in 1936 to the post-war diaspora of Germans to South America, Gunther finds himself pulled into investigations of the dark side of human nature. Although he despises the Nazis, Gunther must nevertheless tow the line during their heyday if he is to remain alive. And when the authorities (be they Nazi, Allied occupation, or Argentinian) pressure him to investigate murders and disappearances, he has no choice but to comply—and salvage some humanity out of the ashes of destruction.
