Beginning in 1135 and concluding forty years later, this is an epic, unputdownable tale of treachery, politics, civil war, medieval life and the building of a cathedral. Follett has created the most memorable characters in fiction since Gone With The Wind. Tom, the master builder; Aliena, the noblewoman reduced to poverty - a lady who fights back! Philip, the Prior of Kingsbridge; Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the mysterious woman who dwells in the forest and her curse that reverberates down the decades. These characters and many more are wonderfully alive in a well-researched narrative that never dives in sickly romance. We have recommended this book to many - all of whom have come back in search of more books by Follett. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/evening-morning-ken-follett/ -

The Piranhas: Harold Robbins
$20.00Jed Stevens' rise to wealth never frees him from the ties of his family background - half Jewish, half Sicilian Mafia. He is caught up the world of show business and high finance - a world full of the piranhas who feed on greed, immorality, the drug trade and high finance. Jed will be forced to choose between the world he has conquered and the world to whom he owes his loyalty. A dazzling exploration of cold ambition and unrestrained lust. From the ruthless dealings of global drug lords to the corporate savagery of Wall Street's hustlers, the Piranhas are those hungry, vicious, men and women whose greed is all-consuming - and whose power is deadly. -

Forced to abandon his tobacco and flee, he takes to sea and finds himself in a battle with the ships bound for the Moghul Empire. In Madagascar, he at last comes face to face with his pirate foes.
