Then comes the grisly murder of a drug dealer. A swift arrest and conviction follow. Few notice. Except for Evan Dunne. His brother's drug-related murder in the Haight comes as a shock. His brother didn't fit the mold of a dealer. He was a husband, a father, a straight arrow. The killer can't even recall the crime. Nothing adds up. Then Evan discovers his late brother's diary. The journal describes a grand conspiracy against the counter culture that might have precipitated the bizarre murder. With Haight Street decaying around him and the Vietnam War looming in his future and shadowy men seeking the diary, Evan risks his life to expose the alarming conspiracy. In this fast-paced historical thriller, Dan Spencer delves into the celebrated Summer of Love to show how the Sixties blurred the line between hallucination and reality.

    First comprehensive study of English artillery in the late Middle Ages, bringing out its full impact on areas beyond the military.One of the most important technological developments of the Middle Ages was the adoption of gunpowder weapons in medieval Europe. From the fourteenth century onwards, this new technology was to eventually transform the conduct ofwarfare beyond all recognition with important implications for European and global history. Guns came to be used in all aspects of military operations, with kings, nobles and burgesses all spending large sums of money on these prestigious weapons. The growing effectiveness of gunpowder artillery prompted major changes in the design of fortifications, the composition of armies, the management of logistics and administrative systems. This book is the first full-length study of the unique English experience of gunpowder weapons, tracing their development from their introduction in the reign of Edward III to the end of the fifteenth century. The rich records of the English Exchequer and urban accounts are used to explore their role in campaigns, in sieges, on the battlefield, at sea and their role in the defence of towns, royal castles and the fortifications of the Pale of Calais. It provides a comprehensive framework for the speed of technological advances and the factors responsible for these changes, as well as an in-depth discussion of individual gun types. DAN SPENCER obtained his PhD from the University of Southampton.
