HMS Ulysses is the novel that launched the astonishing career of one of the 20th century’s greatest writers of action and suspense. It is an acclaimed classic of heroism and the sea during World War II, now reissued in a new cover style.

The story follows men who rise to heroism, and then to something even greater. HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war.

This compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk is a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance, crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic.

Drood is the name and nightmare that obsesses Charles Dickens for the last five years of his life. On June 9, 1865, Dickens and his mistress are secretly returning to London when their express train hurtles over a gap in a trestle. All of the first-class carriages except the one carrying Dickens are smashed to bits in the valley below.

When Dickens descends into that valley to confront the dead and dying, his life will be changed forever. At the core of that ensuing five-year nightmare is Drood... the name that Dickens whispers to his friend Wilkie Collins. A laudanum addict and lesser novelist, Collins flouts Victorian sensibilities by living with one mistress while having a child with another, but he may be the only man on Earth with whom Dickens can share the secret of Drood.

Increasingly obsessed with crypts, cemeteries, and the precise length of time it would take for a corpse to dissolve in a lime pit, Dickens ceases writing for four years and wanders the worst slums and catacombs of London at night while staging public readings during the day, gruesome readings that leave his audiences horrified.

Finally, he begins writing what would have been the world’s first great mystery masterpiece, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, only to be interrupted forever by Drood.

Based on actual biographical events, Drood explores the still-unresolved mysteries of one of our greatest writer’s dark final days in a profoundly original tale.
