The Virulent Virus has swept through England, a new plague. Recession has led to smugglers taking over most of the country while the rich are cowering in their gated communities. Against this backdrop, Aubrey East does a deal with a notorious smuggler, Terence Lawless. Afterwards, he goes for a swim with Freddie Lawless, the son. Aubrey comes out of the sea and Freddie does not. That is where Aubrey's adventure begins. Forced to flee and desperate to clear his name, he enlists the help of Adel, Kate and Thomasina, confident and competent, but are they on his side or their own? Will they help or hinder him as he works to prove his innocence? Michael Fitzalan has been writing adventure stories since he was fourteen. He has written ten books already, his first published book, in 1996, The Taint Gallery obtained cult status, Switch, his second, was a dark comic look at London's underworld and his third, Waterwitch has become a sailor's companion.

Guy: The Truth about Guy Fawkes
The true story of Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby. The plot was Robert Cecil's attempt to remove the Catholic influence at James's court. Catesby was killed at Holbeche House unable to expose the lie. Now, you can find out how the truth was twisted by an arch manipulator who controlled the most sophisticated spy network in London at that time. Finally, the true story can be told, not using government documents that were biased but from primary sources using testimony and diary entries. Primary evidence hardly ever lies. This is real true story of the greatest sting of all time. The government tricked the Catholic nobles, who had influence at Court, in order to destroy their power and remove them from the political scene. The Fifth of November, the true story of Gunpowder Plot is an absorbing and riveting read and is the latest book produced by Michael Fitzalan. All of his novels lead the reader on an exciting journey. Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up parliament. What did he wish to gain; the very people who were going to replace James were present? How did he think he would get away with it? It does not make sense unless it was a story. Now, finally, you can read about the real plot, the plot to destroy the Catholic nobility hatched by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. Behind the scenes, he manipulated the cast in his play. Catesby, the supposed ringleader, had embraced Anglicanism, bringing his children up in the Anglican faith, yet he is portrayed as the zealous leader of the plot. Guy Fawkes was simply a night watchman guarding barrels. Read the true story that relies on facts. We all know the story of Guy Fawkes who wanted to blow up parliament. What did he wish to gain; the very people who were going to replace James were present? How did he think he would get away with it? It does not make sense unless it was a story. Now, finally, you can read about the real plot, the plot to destroy the Catholic nobility hatched by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. Behind the scenes, he manipulated the cast in his play. Catesby, the supposed ringleader, had embraced Anglicanism, bringing his children up in the Anglican faith, yet he is portrayed as the zealous leader of the plot. Guy Fawkes was simply a night watchman guarding barrels. King James feared being stabbed or blown up; Cecil ran an efficient spy network; and he was able to play on James's fears. Read the true story that relies on facts. For far too long we have meekly accepted the propaganda of the age and ignored the flimsiness of those contrived coincidences that gave Cecil's outrageous plot credence.

Major Bruton's African Safari
Set in Uganda, this East African adventure brings into sharp focus the wonderful warmth of the people. Preparations for a coronation lead to a family visiting Uganda. The family, travelling to Africa as a group for the first time, know that adventures and disasters await. It is not what life throws at you but how you deal with it that counts. This is a humorous and warm account of a family's frustration and bewilderment. From being stranded in Lake Victoria with no fuel to being buffeted in a tropical storm near Murchinson Falls, the Bruton family embraced adversity with humour and tenacity. This book is probably the funniest account of travels abroad that you will ever read. With laughter comes drama and adversity, perhaps too, the key to a mystery that has kept Scotland Yard baffled for over forty years. . To my travelling companions in Uganda, you know who you are and my travelling companions in life, we've come so far. With thanks to all the family for a wonderful trip. Dedicated to the memory of the Major, he made it all possible. After my mother died, the family adopted me and I was invited onto their trip. Like all good fiction I have exaggerated, transposed and transformed events to make for an entertaining read.None of this is real or true except in my head. Their humour and patience speaks volumes about their strong characters and their warm hearts.
