1721, and elderly Catherine Yale discovers that second husband Elihu's will has left her no bequest except the slur of branding her a "wicked wife." True, her private journals are filled with intimacies: her inner thoughts about life in Old Madras, where the East India Company's intrigues are as complex as any in the Mughal Emperor's court; and the espionage she has undertaken, despite the danger into which it has thrust both herself and her children. Perhaps it's time for her to read them afresh, to go back before the days when Elihu first betrayed her, before she was betrayed by her enemies, and betrayed by the friends who should have stood at her side - before she determined to wreak her revenge on them all.

1689 and the wife of English East India Company Governor Elihu Yale risks the six-month sea voyage from old Madras to her home in London with her youngest children. But after twenty years away, it's a city Catherine now barely recognises - built anew after the Great Fire and occupied by William the Third's soldiers in the wake of the Glorious Revolution. Yet some things never change, and the secrets she thought she'd left behind in Fort St. George soon return to torment her. An old rival, a long-lost friend and a bitter enemy soon draw her back into a world of espionage, revenge and brutal danger. Her husband may still be on the far side of the world but his reach seems very long indeed. "Ebsworth has used historical fiction tools skillfully to put together Catherine Yale's astonishing story, essentially from the blank space in her husband's will. Recommended." Waheed Rabbani, Historical Novel Society and author of the 'Azadi' series "Mistress Yale is a phenomenon - compassionate and courageous, she misses nothing and viewing the seventeenth century world through her well-travelled eyes is a rare treat. A feat of immaculate research and world-building." Deborah Swift, best-selling author of 'Pleasing Mister Pepys', 'A Divided Inheritance' and the 'Highway' series

And a more evil enemy still, in the shape of that Jacobite Colonel John Porter who had caused such damage to her youngest daughter. Drawn back even further into espionage on behalf of her nation, Catherine must battle madness, her desires, the rifts in her family, riot, rebellion and assassination in this tumultuous third and final act of the Yale Trilogy.

'Swear,' Leclerc shouted, 'that you will never lay down your arms until our colours, our beautiful colours, are flying afresh on Strasbourg Cathedral!'

Action, intrigue, love and loss. "David Ebsworth, a terrific storyteller, his passion for his subject and his characters grabs you by the throat."

A novel in ten acts, following the misadventures of correspondent Jack Telford, from 1945 until his death in 1983. A series of linked long short stories, and short novellas, brought together in Telford’s Odyssey. ‘Odysseus had it easy,’ said Jack Telford. ‘Only adrift for ten years after his war. But me? It’s taken me forty!’ Forty years before he could finally come home. And all those journeys; the places he’d seen; the treacheries he’d known; the enemies he’d managed to make, like Papa Hemingway; the unlikely friendship with young George Harrison; the secrets he’d discovered; the dangers he’d come through. Unscathed? Hardly. Though, just look what he’d found at the end. Had it been worthwhile? Had he made a difference somewhere along the road? Somewhere in those forty long years?

Reality is an investigation of the world around and inside you, seen and unseen. It explores our internal concepts of reality: the real-world reality around us and the role of a supernatural reality; both from the viewpoint of the scientist and the Christian theologian. Reality explores how randomness is the ultimate limit of understanding in science and should be regarded as holy to the theologian. This randomness also extends to how change, over time, comes about and while biological evolution is the special theory of evolution, in fact, everything changes over time via randomness, entropy, and evolution. Science is the best (if flawed because people are imperfect) method to understand the physical world. Theology is the best (if flawed because people are imperfect) method to understand the unseen supernatural reality. Both sides need to observe the firewall that separates them.
