The life and times of Don Revie – one of the most complex and controversial men ever to grace the game of football.
Britain has fallen to the technological might of the Aztec Empire whose armies have rampaged across the globe. Now, for the first time in a millennium, the British are a subject race. Inevitably there is resistance - and among those determined to fight the invaders is Princess Catherine, elder daughter of the British monarch. But she is torn between her patriotism and her growing involvement, political and personal, with the Aztecs - and with one Aztec in particular. Then her sister is arrested and exiled for her part in an alleged terrorist attack - and Catherine finds herself walking a perilous tightrope... Sweeping from occupied Britain to the horrors of the Russian front and the savage splendour of the imperial capital in Mexico, "Aztec Century" is a magnificent novel of war, politics, intrigue and romance, set in a world that is both familiar - and terrifyingly alien. Winner of the BSFA Award for best novel, 1993

At its core, this volume reports upon three large-scale excavations at Fengate, Peterborough. These cast new light on Briton's premier Bronze Age fieldsystem and their results lead to significant reappraisal of facets of Pryor's earlier interpretations and, also, approaches to the period's land-use generally. Reflecting upon such crucial issues as the character of settlement, landholding/territory and power, their discussion is furthered by the book's summary presentation of other recent prehistoric fieldsystems projects within the East Anglian Fenlands. Indeed, greater contextual overview is provided by an in-depth interview contribution by the 'Fieldsystem Triumvirate' of the '70/80s: Richard Bradley, Andrew Fleming and Francis Pryor himself. In keeping with its series' groundbreaking directive of 'Historiography and Fieldwork', having access to Wyman Abbott's archival sources (augmented by his correspondence with E.T. Leeds), for the first time, his early 20th century investigations can now be fully incorporated with subsequent excavations. This historiographic perspective allows, moreover, for unique insights into Edwardian archaeological practices, particularly the impact of type-based methodologies - pots, pits and peoples - and even the lingering influence today of prehistoric 'type cultures' concepts.
Ein neuer Roman des Autors von »Capellas goldene Augen« und »Visionen eines Insiders« Man hält ihn fest und hat ihm alle persönlichen Dinge weggenommen. Er weiß nicht, weshalb, und er weiß nicht, wie er in diese Situation geraten ist. Hat man seine Erinnerungen gelöscht? Seine Bewacher benutzen Gestapo-Methoden, um seinen Willen zu brechen und ihn daran zu hindern, mit der Außenwelt in Kontakt zu treten, von der man ihn systematisch abschottet. Seine Fragen nach dem Grund dieser Behandlung stoßen auf taube Ohren; man verweigert ihm jede Auskunft. Nur eine Psychologin, die ab und zu auftaucht, scheint zugänglicher. Er vertraut sich ihr an, doch auch sie gibt ihm keine Antwort auf seine Fragen. Während seine Mit-Häftlinge ebenso bizarre wie undurchführbare Pläne aushecken, um diesem Limbus, dieser Vorhölle, zu entfliehen, tritt Carpenter den Weg nach innen an und versucht Stück für Stück seine Erinnerungen der Dunkelheit zu entreißen, um seine Vergangenheit zu rekonstruieren. Es ist der einzige Weg, der nach draußen führt. Deutsche Erstausgabe Science Fiction ISBN 3-453-03934-3
