420 years ago, a deadly conspiracy to kill Britain’s king nearly succeeded. What if it had worked?
In 1605, a small band of English Catholics tried to destroy the king, his family and parliament in a single explosion. This is what might have happened if Guy Fawkes had successfully lit the fuse

#20BooksOfChristmas2025: A Merry Little Lie (14), The Eight Heartbreaks of Hanukkah (15), and A Little Holiday Fling (16) #BookReview #Audiobook
I am continuing to enjoy my Christmas reads this year. My goal is to read all the ARCs and ALCs that I have received this year. At this point, I now have 38 on that list. That means I have to read a minimum of 13 per month to finish them all by the end of December. That will not be easy as I am on a 2 week holiday and am participating in Nonfiction November and Novellas in November.

Review tomorrow but this is a really interesting space opera out today!

Project Hanuman is here. I hope you'll take a look as I think it's a pretty good space opera - no hero's journey here - this is about community, how we build back better and, of course, mind bending space battles in sentient ships.
