FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- One Day as a Tiger by Alan Taylor Alan Taylor

This is a book that has everything. History, romance, mystery and a sense of being in India during the end of the British Raj. Most of all it is highly imaginative and extremely colourful. The descriptions of places, of food, of customs and events is compelling. Spoilt and inebriated Maharajas, snake charmers and mystic sadhus all add to the appeal of an exceptional saga.
The introduction of an immoral secret service agent and a god who is learning to be a deity - into the cast of characters - is fascinating. No matter how much you liked all the other books about India in the last few decades, I guarantee this one will not disappoint.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- The List by C. D. Baker

When the British arrive in Philadelphia in September of 1777, General Washington is confused. The maneuver was unexpected. As history would later reveal, an influential Philadelphia loyalist had promoted an idea...an idea involving a secret list of men who might secure the final defeat of the patriots.

Was this list the reason for the British seizure of the city? What of the mystery of its surprise disappearance? And what of the conflict the Browne family endured as a divided family in a divided city?

'The List' is a well-researched historical fiction based on one of the great mysteries of the American Revolution. An entertaining, enlightening read for all ages, Baker's novel tells the untold story that changed the course of history.

This is the next book in John’s continuing decade long saga of adventure, travel, romance, business and sales across Africa.
Way before e-mails and noisy cell phones screwed with your mind.
He wrote one report a month, made no phone calls, made his own decisions,
got on with the job, and more.
Here he recounts how he felt; as he journeyed with his Ethiopian/Italian Lady
to some of those old places, where ‘that certain feeling’ somehow slowly seeps inside your mind.
John says it reminds him of his unexplainable feelings when he fell really, really, in love.
Ageless, virtual space linking through, into one’s feelings, way before we started using those two words, maybe, maybe.
Africa in the 1960’s was a continent newly ‘Freed from Colonialism.’ John was a white, British, expat., “An old Colonial.”
Designated as ‘Market Manager, Africa,’ he traveled though some 20, out of the then 42 African countries selling his UK company products.
This 2nd book goes where few people have been privileged to go, deep into Ethiopia , a country off the tourist map. John gives insights, shy of modern political correctness, of how life was actually lived.
You smell the wind in his descriptions and acknowledge the truth of his experiences.

Rogers was dead, Khruchenko was dead. Only Sloane survived…and the secret that was to have died with him in the little shop in Munich.

The defector had said that he could identify the mole, the Soviet agent who sat on the Committee, the group that ran the Agency. That's what Khruchenko said, but Sloane couldn’t even be certain they existed. But too much had gone wrong too many times for him to doubt that the mole was real. And, just maybe, he knew who it was, knew more than the code name "Parsley."

But could he live long enough to do something with the information? The mole was in a position to use both American and Russian agents to get at Sloane, and he was taking advantage of that. All Sloane had on his side was a vacationing political science instructor, Freddie Falscape, and a finely honed tradecraft. Finally, the woman was willing to help. Now is was a matter of time…

Sister Agnes is now, as Father Julius solemnly teases her, a ‘fully paid-up’ member of the convent, but any thoughts that life might go more smoothly with her final vows taken are soon proved incorrect.

Delighted to have escaped the oppressive confines of life inside the convent, Agnes is back in her own flat, working at the Order’s hostel for the homeless. But before long things take a turn for the worse: a young and vulnerable resident, Abbie, is found dead, and the fragile peace is shattered. Though it looks like suicide, questions are raised about the mysterious drug dealer Murchison’s influence over Abbie and the other young hostel-dwellers. What, or who, pushed Abbie to end her life? As increasingly sinister incidents unfold, the finger of blame seems to be pointing right at Murchison.

But Agnes has more than that on her mind. Forced to confront the foundations of her faith, she is plagued by doubts planted by Abbie in their last conversation before she died – did she become a nun to run away from real life? Whether she likes it or not, real life soon catches up in the form of gentlemanly American geologist Dr Bretton Laing bearing news of her long-dead father’s last years.

She cannot run from her past for ever…

Are the remains those of the WW1 infantryman that folk say haunts the forest? And who is the mysterious stranger killed by a runaway cow?
