Napoleon's Gold: Nathaniel Parry, cartea 2

Autor Alex E Robertson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 feb 2018
The year is 1833: ghosts from the past walk as reminders of wicked deeds but the rich and privileged still have the whip hand in the game of power. Nathaniel Parry, British agent, has set up home and a new life in Bath but old evils and old scores from the French Wars, as well as old loves, confuse the present. In his mission for truth and justice against villains and femmes fatales he is not alone. Working in the shadows is his ally, Cornelius Lee, a formidable and charismatic Chinese agent on a mission for his Emperor. The story follows on from Riot and Retribution, the first volume in the Trilogy.

Notă biografică

Alex E. Robertson is a pen name incorporating the names of the co-creators, Alex E. Kolaczkowski and Robert E. Hayes. Dr Alex Kolaczkowski has taught history at schools in Bath and Bristol, as well as in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey. Her B.Ed degree was awarded by the University of Bristol and her Ph.D by the University of Bath. A dedicated teacher, passionate about all aspects of her subject, she took her pupils on frequent field trips, making ancient, medieval, early modern and modern topics alike come vividly to life. Bath and Bristol are cities very well known to her having lived, studied and worked in both of them. Her expertise in Bath history stemmed from her years spent researching the city as a case-study for her doctoral topic on the development of municipal socialism and the civic ideal in the nineteenth century. By invitation from the Dictionary of National Biography she wrote the entry for Sir Jerom Murch who was Mayor of Bath on seven occasions, and published a paper on aspects of Bath Non-Conformism in the Unitarian Journal. These research activities helped provide her specialist background knowledge of the period and places in which the novel is set. Professor Robert Hayes is a full-time academic at the University of Alberta in Canada. Apart from his distinguished research and teaching in chemical engineering, he is a calculating thinker with an interest in mystery and intrigue within a historical context. As a PhD student at the University of Bath in the early 1980s, he developed an interest in the game of Go (which originated as Wei Ch'i in China), often travelling to Bristol to play at the Go Club in Hotwells, and later was a founder member of the Bath Go Club at the Crown Inn, Bathwick Street. During the 1990s he was a frequent visitor to Bath and Bristol. In addition to his passion for historical mysteries, he is a lover of fine wines, single malt whisky, and of course whiskey.
