Men Went To Cattraeth
by John JamesThe Battle of Cattreath is one of the great unknowns of early British history. A small band of men from the 'Old North' of Britain, the Gododdin, mount an audacious assault on the Angle stronghold of Cattreath. Most of the information we have comes from a single poem, the Y GODODDIN, and it is this that inspires John James' dark, powerful and original retelling of the attack. With stark prose and powerful description, James takes an almost-forgotten story and makes it real.

Men at Arms: A Discworld Novel (City Watch #2)
by Terry Pratchett“Unadulterated fun.”—San Francisco ChronicleThe fate of Ankh-Morpork rests on the unlikely shoulders of newly promoted Corporal Carrot and his hapless charges in the City Watch in this wildly wacky Discworld novel from the legendary New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett.Corporal Carrot is now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork from barbarian rribes, miscellaneous marauders, unlicensed thieves, and other dangerous Discworld denizens. It’s a big job for an adopted dwarf keeping the likes of young coppers Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman. . . most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving) in line.Especially since someone in Ankh-Morpork has been getting dangerous ideas about crowns and legendary swords, and destiny—which points its crooked finger again when an ancient document reveals that Ankh-Morpork has a secret sovereign.What's more, Captain Sam Vimes is getting married and retiring from the Watch. For good. Which is a shame, because no one knows the streets of Ankh-Morpork or its criminal underworld better than him.It’s the beginning of the most awesome epic encounter of all time (or at least all afternoon), in which the fate of a city—indeed of the universe itself!—depends on a young man’s courage, an ancient sword’s magic, and a three-legged poodle’s bladder.The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Men at Arms is the 2nd in the City Watch collection and the 15th Discworld book.The City Watch series in order:Guards!

And then trouble, which has been coiling around him for years like a snake, bites.

by K'Anne MeinelEstaba enfadada. Estaba harta. Era hora de hacer justicia con los jueces y otros políticos que no estaban haciendo su trabajo, especialmente los que habían mentido para obtener sus puestos en nuestro sistema político. Habían olvidado que eran funcionarios públicos y que debían responder ante el pueblo estadounidense. No era la única que había pensado en expulsarlos, pero eso ya no funcionaba. Era el momento de infundir miedo a quienes se dedicaban a la política y habían utilizado su posición de poder para llenarse los bolsillos. Hubo un tiempo en el que ser funcionario público, entrar en política, había sido algo honorable. Ese tiempo había pasado y no había integridad en la política. Ella estaba a punto de hacer lo que consideraba honorable, eliminando a esos aduladores del sistema. Aunque los acontecimientos de este libro pueden ser similares a hechos reales, todos los personajes son ficticios y cualquier parecido con personas reales es puramente intencionado.
