How the Irish Saved Civilization
Thomas Cahill

Sceptre, 2003

Nay-sayers knowe not what of which they speake
I listened to this audiobook on a four day road trip, and I had a wonderful experience with the substance of author Cahill's tales which in my mind substantiate the title's claims... that the Irish did indeed save civilization. Such as civilization is. You probably ...

Giles Milton

Sceptre, 2005

The Other Slavery
A mere few centuries ago, both Islam and Christianity, which proclaimed themselves models of righteousness and compassion, were involved in the African slave trade, destroying the lives of millions. The history of the slaves and the slavers has been told many ways ...
  
  











  



  
Restoration
Rose Tremain

Sceptre, 1995

"In this age, all fortunes are made in court."
Robert Merivel, who has studied to be a physician, is appointed, ironically, to be veterinarian for the spaniels of King Charles II, who has recently been restored to the throne following the death of Oliver Cromwell. Merivel enjoys the gaiety and frivolity of court ...

Cloud Atlas
David Mitchell

Sceptre, 2004

Highly unique and worthwhile
Cloud Atlas is composed of six stories intricately weaved together. Each story is told in a different style and time, and each is interrupted at a suspenseful moment and then concluded later in the book. This is a masterful execution of a unique device, coupled with ...

Thirteen Moons
Charles Frazier

Sceptre, 2006

A story that invites you in told in rich language.
I really enjoyed this novel for both the story and for the rich prose. In Thirteen Moons, as well as in Cold Mountain, the stories of the characters are interesting and take place in front of a unique historical backdrop. However, what intrigued me in both books was ...

Carter Beats the Devil
Glen David Gold

Sceptre, 2002

Magic and Mayhem - What a Treat!
This is a great book. Set in the San Francisco area in the 1920s, it tells a tale of murder, mayhem, romance and magic that is, amazingly, mostly factual. It's true that the author does take some liberties with the facts in several places, but it's all in the spirit of ...
  
  











  



  
Letters to Alice on First Reading Jane Austen
Fay Weldon

Sceptre, 1993
  
  











  



  
Biography of Peter Cook
Harry Thompson

Sceptre, 1998

Amused
This is a fascinating biography of a man who bored himself to death. Surreal, satirical and often plain silly, Peter Cook's comedy was like Monty Python with fangs. Achieving everything he could hope for at the beginning of his career, he spent the rest of his life ...
  
  











  



  
Goldeneye (James Bond 007)
John Gardner

Sceptre, 1995

JOHN GARDNERs BEST BOND NOVEL
GoldenEye is undoubtedly John Gardner's best James Bond novel. He really captured the essence of Bond as portrayed by Pierce Brosnan. I took this novel out and read it again when Pierce announced that his services were no longer needed as James Bond. It seems like he ...
