    Angels Cry Too
    Jože Mlinarič

    Angels Cry Too delves into the profound nature of human relationships. Each person is a universe unto themselves, and when two such universes collide, they create a new constellation, an intricate web of shared stories, experiences, and emotions. Every thinking being on this planet carries a history, a personal narrative shaped by the interactions that define us.

    In Angels Cry Too, these interactions are not just exchanges but reflections of our individual journeys. The novel explores how lives intersect, revealing the events and decisions that shape our destinies. While the story is set in the 1970s, its themes are timeless: humans have always been architects of their own fate, choosing paths at life’s crossroads, with each decision carrying its own consequences.

    Inspired by the tragic events of the worst air disaster in aviation history, the 1977 collision of two Boeing 747s on the runway of Los Rodeos Airport in Tenerife, Angels Cry Too is a deeply human story about choices, chance, and the profound connections that shape our lives.

The elder siblings, favoured and spoiled since childhood, find themselves grappling with unhappiness and a secret misfortune that haunts the sisters’ lives, while the overlooked younger pair demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity.

    Atticus Fighter of Rome Series – Death Before Dishonour
    Jonathan Andrews

    The Parthian hordes led by their king Artabanus had invaded the outer reaches of the Roman empire, destroying several Roman outposts along Parthia’s border with Mesopotamia. The Parthian army had laid siege to the great Roman fort at Tadmor.

    Atticus had joined the legions of Rome. He stood a mere inch short of seven feet head to toe, a pure warrior, barely a man at the age of 18. A mountain of muscle and strength second to none.

    General Maximus of the Augusta Legions had witnessed, at first hand, the bravery and fighting skill of Atticus, and with the blessing of the Emperor, Augustus had installed Atticus into the Augusta Legion as first centurion of the first cohort of the Augusta Legion.

    Artabanus had sent envoys to the two client kings of Mesopotamia, inviting them to join forces with him to destroy Rome, which was at its weakest. One of the kings had disguised himself as a merchant and went to Rome to see for himself. Spies and assassins hid amongst the civilian population and were often paid handsomely for their services by the king of Parthia. Atticus would soon be unleashed upon the Parthians. His quest to become Rome’s greatest warrior had begun.

    The Line to Freedom
    Mike Walsham

    Andrew was recruited into the British Secret Intelligence Service in 1939 for his linguistic talents and other qualities while working in the banking sector in the City of London.

    From the beginning of WWII, he worked full-time for the Service. His first mission was to witness the attempted assassination of Hitler in Munich in November 1939, followed by three further missions: sabotaging a German train carrying armaments deep inside enemy territory with a colleague; assisting in the evacuation of BEF soldiers during the Dunkirk operation aboard one of the ‘small ships’; and working with the Royal Navy to help bring the Norwegian king and his cabinet from Tromsø to exile in London.

    After extensive commando-style training in Scotland, lengthy Royal Navy officer training, and instruction as a parachutist, Andrew was dropped into northeast France in late May 1941. This highly risky mission involved collaborating with the French Resistance.

    Following several smaller, but equally dangerous, missions, he was sent to Sardinia to work with the Partisans in July 1941. His objective: to thwart the Italian Air Force from bombing Allied convoys heading to Malta.

    On returning to England, Andrew assumed the identity of a missing French Resistance operative and was dropped back into France. There, he joined multiple groups on a perilous mission, narrowly escaping the Wehrmacht and the Abwehr before making his way back to England via Spain.

    This is a compelling narrative, rich with exciting and lesser-covered themes in spy fiction. The writer’s attention to detail and meticulous research offers readers a vivid and comprehensive insight into the complex and colorful world of intelligence during WWII.

    A Family of the Old Russian Empire
    Stanislas M. Yassukovich

    In the wake of the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, a young noblewoman in the Russian Empire makes the bold decision to stay behind, while her family scatters across the globe. Her brother flees with the White Russian emigration to New York, while her mother and sister escape to Poland. Strangely, her brother leads his American family to believe that his sister, along with her husband and daughter, vanished during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922) and are presumed dead. But this is far from the truth.

    Although his other sister’s life in Poland, marked by tragedy during World War II, is well known, the fate of his sister in Russia remains a secret. In reality, he has secretly maintained contact with her, even sending financial support. Her story is one of immense suffering and resilience, enduring exile to Siberia and eight years in a brutal Gulag, branded as a “former person,” a Soviet term for those of noble birth and supporters of the old regime.

    This is a poignant saga of loss, survival, and astonishing strength in the face of unimaginable adversity.
