The Adventurous Gardener - Christopher Lloyd - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The Adventurous Gardener - Christopher Lloyd - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''The best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times'' GUARDIAN ''Christopher Lloyd ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in twentieth-century British gardening'' THE TIMES In this gardening classic the forever adventurous Christopher Lloyd takes us on a tour through the garden, to encourage, to reveal and to overturn the old and accepted when experience prompts him. He advises on cuttings, pruning, the art of compromise and takes another look at Miss Jekyll. Gardening was a passion, and throughout his life he developed Great Dixter to be one of Britain''s greatest gardens. For Christo gardening is nothing if not fun and - pointing out that ''to be roused into an argumentative frame of mind is in itself no bad thing'' - he makes it equally stimulating and enjoyable for his readers.

''A gripping murder mystery and a vivid recreation of Paris under German Occupation.''

The day the Nazis march into Paris, making headlines around the globe. Paris police detective Eddie Giral - a survivor of the last World War - watches helplessly on as his world changes forever.But there is something he still has control over. Finding whoever is responsible for the murder of four refugees. The unwanted dead, who no one wants to claim.To do so, he must tread carefully between the Occupation and the Resistance, between truth and lies, between the man he is and the man he was. All the while becoming whoever he must be to survive in this new and terrible order descending on his home... * * * * *''Lloyd''s Second World War Paris is rougher than Alan Furst''s, and Eddie Giral, his French detective, is way edgier than Philip Kerr''s Bernie Gunther ... Ranks alongside both for its convincingly cloying atmosphere of a city subjugated to a foreign power, a plot that reaches across war-torn Europe and into the rifts in the Nazi factions, and a hero who tries to be a good man in a bad world. Powerful stuff. '' THE TIMES ''A tense and gripping mystery which hums with menace and dark humour as well as immersing the reader in the life of occupied Paris'' Judges, HWA GOLD CROWN AWARD ''Excellent ... In Eddie Giral, Lloyd has created a character reminiscent of Philip Kerr''s Bernie Gunther, oozing with attitude and a conflicted morality that powers a complex, polished plot. Historical crime at its finest. '' VASEEM KHAN , author of Midnight at Malabar House '' Monumentally impressive ... A truly wonderful book. If somebody''d given it to me and told me it was the latest Robert Harris, I wouldn''t have been surprised. Eddie Giral is a wonderful creation. '' ALIS HAWKINS '' A terrific read - gripping and well-paced. The period atmosphere is excellent.'' MARK ELLIS '' The best kind of crime novel: gripping, thought-provoking and moving. In Detective Eddie Giral, Chris Lloyd has created a flawed hero not just for occupied Paris, but for our own times, too.'' KATHERINE STANSFIELD

A Lifetime of Seasons - Christopher Lloyd - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''He was the best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times'' GUARDIAN ''Infuriating, irascible ... a brilliant gardener and a brilliant writer'' Monty Don, Observer Christo Lloyd was recognised as one of the foremost gardeners and garden writers of the 20th century. Here, for the first time, is the definitive collection of his best, most informative, and so often amusing, garden writing. Christo on gardening : Ours, in its humble way, is an art as well as a craft. At the same time it keeps us in touch with the earth, the seasons, and with that complex of interrelated forces both animate and inanimate which we call nature. It is a humanizing occupation. On weeding: Many gardeners will agree that hand-weeding is not the terrible drudgery that it is often made out to be. Some people find in it a kind of soothing monotony. It leaves their minds free to develop the plot for their next novel or to perfect the brilliant repartee with which they should have encountered a relative''s latest example of unreasonableness.

In a land ruled by prophecy and the whims of Gods, a young man finds himself at the heart of a war he barely understands, wielding powers he may never be able to control Isak is a white-eye, feared and despised in equal measure. Trapped in a life of poverty, hated and abused by his father, Isak dreams of escape, but when his chance comes, it isn''t to a place in the army as he''d expected. Instead, the Gods have marked him out as heir-elect to the brooding Lord Bahl, the Lord of the Fahlan.Lord Bahl is also a white-eye, a genetic rarity that produces men stronger, more savage and more charismatic than their normal counterparts. Their magnetic charm and brute strength both inspires and oppresses others.Now is the time for revenge, and the forging of empires. With mounting envy and malice, the men who would themselves be kings watch Isak, chosen by Gods as flawed as the humans who serve them, as he is shaped and moulded to fulfil the prophecies that are encircling him like scavenger birds. The various factions jostle for the upper hand, and that means violence, but the Gods have been silent too long and that violence is about to spill over and paint the world the colour of spilled blood and guts and pain and anguish ...

The sequel to the bestselling THE STORMCALLER After the shattering events of THE STORMCALLER, the eyes of the Land are on the minor city of Scree, which could soon be obliterated as the new Lord of the Farlan plots his revenge against Scree''s rulers. Suffering under an unnatural summer drought and surrounded by volatile mercenary armies that may be its only salvation, the city is a strange sanctuary for a fugitive abbot to flee to, but he is only the first of many to be drawn there.Kings and princes, lords and monsters; all walk the sun-scorched streets while the evenings witness the performance of cruel and subversive plays that work their way into the hearts of the audience. Elite soldiers clash after dark and the city begins to tear itself apart as the sanity of its citizens crumbles, yet even chaos can be scripted.

Stranger of Tempest - Tom Lloyd - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Lynx is a mercenary with a sense of honour; a dying breed in the Riven Kingdom. Failed by the nation he served and weary of the skirmishes that plague the continent''s principalities, he walks the land in search of purpose. He wants for little so bodyguard work keeps his belly full and his mage-gun loaded. It might never bring a man fame or wealth, but he''s not forced to rely on others or kill without cause. Little could compel Lynx to join a mercenary company, but he won''t turn his back on a kidnapped girl. At least the job seems simple enough; the mercenaries less stupid and vicious than most he''s met over the years. So long as there are no surprises or hidden agendas along the way, it should work out fine.***** Praise for Stranger of Tempest ''The most satisfying thing I''ve read in a long time. Exceeded expectations that weren''t even that low and scratched all my itches. Felt like i needed a cigarette afterwards - it was that good.'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐''Stranger of Tempest drew me in from the beginning, it has such a brilliant opening! One of the best I''ve read! It was at that moment that I knew I was going to enjoy this book, it cracked me up and intrigued me.'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐''Stranger of Tempest is a fast paced, fun read with memorable characters that you want to know more about! It''s a brilliant blend of humour, action, magic, adventure, and more. I can''t wait for the next book! I''m so excited to see where this is all going to go!'' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐''A great rip-roaring take, in the style of Dungeons and Dragons. The characters are real and some are likable while others downright despicable. Loved it.''

Lynx and the rest of the Cards are heading south. There''s money in their pockets, beer in their hands and a simple job ahead - sun, sea and not getting shot at much. Throw in the prospect of a bar fight and it''s almost a holiday. But the volatile Mage Islands are a powder-keg, one just waiting for a spark. A bloody-handed exile perhaps, or the agent of a foreign power preparing for war. Maybe even a bunch of trigger-happy drunks who''ve upset the balance of magic across the Riven Kingdom.Or all three together, that''d definitely work...

While those responsible scatter to work on the next step in their plan, the stakes are raised - all the way to the heavens - as the Gods themselves enter the fray.Returning home to a nation divided by fanaticism, Lord Isak is haunted both by the consequences of his actions in Scree and by visions of his own impending death. As the full extent of Azaer''s schemes become clearer, he realises prophecy and zealotry must play their part in his battle-plans if there is to be any chance of surviving the coming years.As a white-eye, Isak has had to embrace the darker parts of his own soul, but now the savage religious fervour sweeping his nation must also be accepted and turned to purpose, in the name of survival.With the battle lines vague and allegiances uncertain, the time for heartless decisions and ruthless action has come. Two figures oppose Isak and his allies: the greatest warrior in history, who dreams of empire and Godhood, and a newborn baby whose dreams have no limit.

Douglas Haig - Dr John Bourne - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The diaries of the most controversial British general of the twentieth century. There''s a commonly held view that Douglas Haig was a bone-headed, callous butcher, who through his incompetence as commander of the British Army in WWI, killed a generation of young men on the Somme and Passchendaele. On the other hand there are those who view Haig as a man who successfully struggled with appalling difficulties to produce an army which took the lead in defeating Germany in 1918.Haig''s Diaries, hitherto only previously available in bowdlerised form, give the C-in-C''s view of Asquith and his successor Lloyd George, of whom he was highly critical. The diaries show him intriguing with the King vs. Lloyd George. Additional are his day by day accounts of the key battles of the war, not least the Somme campaign of 1916.
