- A time travel adventure confronting climate change and the environmental challenge
96,95 kr. This is a fantasy time travel adventure in England superimposed over serious issues relating to development of the English language and the climate change emergency.A family of four (two adults and pair of adopted twins) find themselves transported back to the 6th Century when groups of immigrants from northern Europe are starting to colonise a countryside which is replete with decaying remains of Roman military and civilian infrastructure.As a result of the group's various adventures, the two parents discover both children are themselves time travellers from the Saxon period, a discovery which adds a further dimension to the story.Ultimately, the family are able to return to the 21st century but with questions remaining over the merits of such a switch.After concluding a career in finance, author Nigel Cole established and operated a successful in-bound travel company for thirteen years. Subsequently, he leveraged a lifelong interest in the Roman period and increasingly that of the Saxons to form the basis of A Trip Into Saxon Times. Here he uses a fantasy, time travel adventure to illustrate the transition from Roman to Saxon culture in England whilst highlighting linguistic developments and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on climate change through to present day.Nigel has also published an 800-page travel guide entitled Visitors' Guide to Scotland (ISBN 9781916133204)

- Swimming With toasters
183,95 kr. Presented here for the first time as a dramatic novelization, Last Exit Before Trolls Volume 1: Swimming With Toasters allows you to experience The Grand Separation as though you were actually there, as many of those involved in the production of this book nearly were. You may think you know all that there is to know about The Grand Separation and how the world you live in today was created. But do you really? How much do you really know about Draknoor, the last of the Great Black Dragons? What strange events led to the rediscovery of the King's fabled sword Excalibur in the waters of The Wold? And could you answer with certainty if asked when the trolls made Dartford Tunnel their home? These, and many other questions, are at least partially answered in Last Exit Before Trolls Volume 1: Swimming With Toasters. Until now the facts about the reintegration of the two worlds have been shrouded in mystery, either because there were none left alive to tell of them, or because they were deliberately kept from you. The Falston Gazette Press, with the approval (pending) of King Arthur II, can finally bring you the truth. You've read the rest, now read this one. It's less apocryphal. Most likely.
