In the fifteenth century, two families of royal descent, the Houses of York and Lancaster, clashed in an epic series of civil wars to win and control the throne of England. The crown slipped precariously from one family to the other, and not until the destruction of both Houses and the rise of a new royal family, the Tudors, did peace and stability return to the country. Robert Silverberg, writing as Franklin Hamilton, brings the personalities, politics, and events of this complex and exciting period to vivid and relevant life.

When Edward the Confessor, King of England, died in January 1066 without an obvious heir to the throne, his death precipated two invasions of England and a series of battles for the crown by three men: King Harold II of England, King Harold Hardrada of Norway, and Duke William of Normandy (later King William I of England). The outcome determined the course of western civilization for a thousand years to come. Robert Silverberg, writing under the name Franklin Hamilton, brings alive the human participants of the conflict, making them relevant to the modern-day world.

Abel Debenker was a proud man. But it takes more than determination to handle property, in the shape of a six-foot Black slave--and a glistening, voluptuous woman. To handle that kind of property, Abel needed help: the help of a slavemaster and a whipping post. But all of that isn't enough to turn back the clock, or to erase the struggle of a people in bondage--a struggle that can end only one way!

When medical Dr. John Naysmith reports to his new assignment on Mars, he's immediately confronted by a crisis: the outbreak of an alien virus among several men who've been exploring the Martian landscape. The entire base is quarantined, and the Security Chief tells Naysmith that he has just 72 hours to find a solution, or the base will be destroyed by nuclear bombs to prevent the infection from spreading. With time running out, there's just one more option: visiting the crater that's the source of the infection. Can the doctor develop a vaccine in time?

There's just one more thing he can try! An exciting science fiction adventure.

This French adaptation of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream focuses on the magical transformation of the would-be actor, Bottom, into a ludicrous ass, who is then pursued by the enchanted fairy queen, Titania. Meurice's version is a smooth, timeless, humorous, and modern rewrite of the original in prose.

Who WAS that gorgeous model? When a helicopter loses power and plunges into the icy waters of scenic Lake Tahoe, killing its only passenger, millionaire Albert Crocker Vansittart, what looks like a routine claim against a life insurance policy turns into a mystery for investigator Hobart Lindsey and his sometime collaborator Marvia Plum. The reason: half a century ago, the youthful Vansittart had come across a hardboiled mystery novel and become obsessed with the glamorous model who'd posed for the cover painting. Now, Vansittart's multimillion dollar policy is to go to "the girl on the cover of Death in the Ditch." Lindsey's pursuit of the now-aged model (if she's even still alive!) leads him into a maze of violence and deception with its roots in the politics and wars of past decades. Another first-rate combination of crime, collectibles, and American history--and the fifth book in this bestselling series!
