DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Arthur Bryant regarded A History of Britain and the British People as the summary of his life's work. It is based on sixty years of writing scholarly history and embodies material written at the height of his creative powers. The theme of Set in a Silver Sea, which covers all but the last five hundred years of our ten thousand years of history, is the creation and evolution of the laws, institutions, moral beliefs and ways of thought which, deriving from our past, form the basis of our nationhood. It begins with the Atlantic flood which made Britain an island and ends with the building of the last great medieval churches at the close of the fifteenth-century when the ocean trade routes to America and the golden East were being opened up. It is a great and complex tale: Set in a Silver Sea has been designed to tell it in a way that will 'keep children from play and old men from the chimney corner'.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Royal Star, the most exclusive cruise ship in the world, has just set sail from Miami on its inaugural voyage. For the hundred or so notable and well-heeled passengers, including Zack Chasteen, and his wife, Barbara, the itinerary is a secret and the week ahead promises to be an ultra-indulgent tropical sojourn. But just an hour out of port, gunmen take over the Royal Star, killing most of the officers and sequestering passengers throughout the ship. Not only is Zack separated from Barbara, he has another worry —Barbara is eight months pregnant with their first child and could go into labor at any moment. As Zack and his fellow captives struggle to get an upper hand, the ship's hijackers offer few clues to their motives. Maybe it's a simple kidnap/extortion plot. Or maybe the hijackers are bent on more devious ends – using the Royal Star as a giant torpedo to blow up another cruise ship. Either way, Zack must figure out a way to stop them--while keeping himself and his wife alive.
