David Kellogg Lewis

    September 28, 1941 – October 14, 2001

    David Kellogg Lewis was an influential 20th-century philosopher whose work profoundly impacted the philosophy of language, mind, metaphysics, epistemology, and logic. He is perhaps best known for his controversial modal realist stance: the idea that infinitely many parallel universes exist, each concrete and causally isolated, with ours being just one. These universes serve as possible worlds in the analysis of necessity and possibility. Lewis's legacy lies in his original thinking and deep exploration of the nature of reality.

      James Bond meets Maisie Dobbs in this riveting new historical caper series featuring a gifted young socialist-turned-counterespionage spy on a World War II mission orchestrated by Winston Churchill himself… 1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. Caitrin Colline—a Welsh coalminer’s daughter and an ardent socialist—will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin’s bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector’s social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain’s aristocracy. Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted—even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance.
