Written by one of the world’s foremost historians of human migration, Peoples and Empires is the story of the great European empires—the Roman, the Spanish, the French, the British—and their colonies, and the back-and-forth between “us” and “them,” culture and nature, civilization and barbarism, the center and the periphery. It’s the history of how conquerors justified conquest, and how colonists and the colonized changed each other beyond all recognition.

Embark on a thrill-a-minute fantasy ride in a Magnet Punk world, where the technology revolves around manipulating the planet’s overwhelming polarity. "They followed me because it was in their bones. If we did nothing, we would die, or the next generation would die. That’s why we ran the train." They felt they had no choice. The Resistance had dispatched a team on a mission to infiltrate the highest levels of their oppressive and evil government, and it had failed. That didn’t stop twenty-year-old Catherine and her rogue team of young and desperate freedom fighters to attempt the same mission only days later. The mission was critical—and for Catherine, it was a rescue mission. From the start, everything falls apart, and they find themselves being pursued by the strongest forces of the very-resourced government--a race against the most powerful people in the land. All they have going for them is their possession of a top-tier high-powered futuristic train. They have to outrun the all-powerful Akhenaten Authority, or they’ll all die. It quickly turns into an epic race for the ages. This ambitious novel by Anthony Eden is a fast-paced cinematic journey through an exciting world you’ve never before seen. More than that it’s about the battle between fear and hope and what a small group of people can accomplish given strong wills and desperate motivations.

Who was William Shakespeare? How did the 'rude groom' from Stratford grow up to be the greatest poet the world has known? Not for a generation, since the late Anthony Burgess's SHAKESPEARE (1970), has there been anything approaching a popular, mainstream biography of the greatest and most celebrated writer. Yet Shakespeare's life was as colourful, varied and dramatic as his works: the Warwickshire country boy who 'disappeared' for seven years before fetching up in London as an apprentice actor...whose fellow players could scarcely keep up with the plays he turned out for them...who rapidly became a favourite at the court of Elizabeth I...and returned to Stratford a prosperous 'gentleman', proud to realise his father's dream of a family coat of arms, before his death at 52.Anthony Holden brilliantly interleaves the poets own words with the known facts to breathe new life into a story never before told in such absorbing detail. 'The perfect blend of erudition and accessibility' - the Daily Telegraph's verdict on Holden's life of Tchaikovsky - applies equally to his revealing, very human portrait of Shakespeare.
