Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the turbulent aftermath of the Black Death, England's great trading houses stand on uncertain ground. Old alliances are failing, rivalries are hardening, and survival depends as much on judgement as on wealth.When the head of the House of Rooke is lost at sea, the future of the family's fortunes rests on those left behind. Matthew Rooke must step into a role for which he has not been prepared, navigating not only the demands of trade but the quiet pressures of men who would see the House diminished or broken. At his side, his sister, Alice Rooke begins to understand that the world she has inherited is more dangerous - and more complex - than she had ever imagined.From the quays of King's Lynn to the counting houses of the Hanseatic League, The Broken Ship follows a family drawn into a struggle for continuity in a world where reputation, loyalty and survival are constantly at stake.Rich in historical detail and grounded in the realities of fourteenth-century trade and society, this opening novel in the Parliament of Rookes sequence explores the fragile balance between inheritance and ambition - and the cost of holding a house together when everything around it is beginning to shift. In the aftermath of the Black Death, The Broken Ship brings to life England's trading houses as one family struggles to survive in a time of uncertainty and change - the opening novel in a historical series.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. London, 1852. The British Empire is approaching the height of its power. But in the shadows, a new kind of power is being built.Inspector Charles Frederick Field of the Metropolitan Police is accustomed to London's darker secrets. But when an apparently ordinary crime draws him into a trail of murder, disappearance and conspiracy, he begins to suspect that something far more dangerous lies behind it - something reaching into the highest levels of government.At his side is an unlikely investigator: Charles Dickens.The friendship is not entirely fiction. Dickens knew and admired the real Inspector Field, accompanied him on nocturnal police patrols through London, and wrote about those experiences for Household Words. Field would later be widely associated with the inspiration for Inspector Bucket in Bleak House.Engine of Empire takes that remarkable historical relationship one step further.What if Dickens did more than observe? What if he sometimes helped Field investigate? And what if some of the people, places and crimes that subsequently appeared in his fiction had their origins in cases the two men encountered together?Their investigation leads from London's rookeries and theatres to workshops, government offices and the hidden machinery of the Victorian state. Somewhere behind a succession of deaths lies an extraordinary technological secret - a machine whose creators believe it could secure Britain's supremacy for generations.But a machine capable of serving an empire may also be capable of controlling one.Blending real people and events with historical speculation, Engine of Empire is a Victorian crime and conspiracy thriller about friendship, technological ambition and the seductive argument that almost anything can be justified in the name of national security.History tells us that Dickens walked the streets with Inspector Field. Engine of Empire asks what might have happened next. Charles Dickens joins his friend Inspector Charles Field to investigate murder and conspiracy in Victorian London, uncovering a secret technology that could transform the British Empire-or place it under control.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. England, 1586. A queen is imprisoned. A conspiracy is forming. And somewhere in the secret correspondence crossing the country lies the evidence that could send Mary, Queen of Scots to the scaffold.Thomas Phelippes is a scholar, linguist and gifted cryptanalyst whose extraordinary ability to break codes has brought him to the attention of Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's formidable spymaster. Drawn from the quiet world of scholarship into the emerging intelligence service of Tudor England, Phelippes finds himself at the centre of one of the most dangerous political struggles of Elizabeth's reign.At Chartley Hall, the imprisoned Mary Stuart believes she has found a secure means of communicating with her supporters. Letters are concealed, smuggled in beer barrels and protected by elaborate ciphers, while Anthony Babington and his fellow conspirators dream of freeing the Scottish queen, assassinating Elizabeth and restoring Catholic rule to England.But Walsingham is watching.Working from a locked chamber above Chartley Hall, Phelippes intercepts Mary's secret correspondence and patiently begins to unravel it. Every cipher broken exposes another connection; every decoded letter draws the conspirators closer to discovery. Yet intelligence is not simply a matter of finding the truth. When Phelippes is ordered to alter a letter by adding a single forged passage designed to expose the men behind the conspiracy, the boundary between deciphering evidence and creating it begins to disappear.If Mary answers, she may condemn herself.Based on the real events of the Babington Plot of 1586, The Cipher Room is a historical espionage thriller about codebreaking, surveillance, deception and the birth of organised intelligence in Elizabethan England. Bringing together Thomas Phelippes, Francis Walsingham, Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I, it explores the hidden machinery behind one of the defining political conspiracies of the Tudor age-and the moral price paid by the people who operated it.For readers of Robert Harris, C. J. Sansom and S. J. Parris, The Cipher Room combines meticulously grounded Tudor history with political intrigue, cryptography, secret correspondence and the darker world of Elizabethan espionage.Every line a lie. Every seal a weapon. A Tudor espionage thriller based on the real Babington Plot. Cryptanalyst Thomas Phelippes enters Walsingham's secret world to decipher Mary, Queen of Scots' letters-and must choose between uncovering treason and manufacturing it.
