Cast in Peril by Michelle Sagara

It has been a busy few weeks for Private Kaylin Neva. — In between angling for a promotion, sharing her room with the last living female Dragon and dealing with more refugees than anyone knew what to do with, the unusual egg she’d been given began to hatch. Actually, that turned out to be lucky, because it absorbed the energy from the bomb that went off in her quarters.…

So now might be the perfect time to leave Elantra and journey to the West March with the Barrani. If not for the disappearances of citizens in the fief of Tiamaris — disappearances traced to the very Barrani Kaylin is about to be traveling with…

Wool by Hugh Howey

This omnibus edition contains the Silo series: Wool, books 1-5: Holston / Proper Gauge / Casting Off / The Unraveling / The Stranded. — The story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. In a ruined and toxic landscape, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep.  The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.  In a society full of regulations meant to protect the community, Sheriff Holston, unexpectedly, breaks the greatest taboo of all: he asks to go outside. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. Now Juliette is about to be entrusted with fixing her silo, and she will soon learn just how badly her world is broken …

Historical Fiction Review and Book Give-Away – Cup of Blood

Cup of Blood by Jeri Westerson

Review by Cheryl G. (Poncer)

 

Cup of Blood is a prequel to Jeri Westerson’s Crispin Guest series. Set in Medieval London, Crispin, a defrocked knight has turned his attention to solving mysteries.

In this book, we get the backstory of how Crispin met his partner, Jack Tucker, though Crispin won’t readily admit that he needs a partner.

The books begins in a tavern, where someone has been murdered. Turns out he is a member of the Knights of Templar, thought to be long disbanded.

Through out the book we get to experience old London through Crispin eyes, experiencing the dangers and conditions that make merely living there a risky proposition. From the back alleys to the gloom of Newgate Prison, to the grandeur of Westminster Palace, we are privileged to have an inside peak at what the city must have been like in the late 1300’s.

Jeri Westerson makes history alive in her matter of fact writing style. She makes it very hard to put one of her books down, and I often read them well past my bedtime.

Below are the books in the Crispin Guest series:

           

 

Jeri Westerson has generously offered to give a copy of her new book, Cup of Blood to one lucky PBS member who comments here on the Blog. You have until Friday, August 1, 2014 at 12 nooon EDT. Winner will be announced on Saturday, August 2, 2014.

Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth Joy and Hard Times

by Jennifer Worth

At the age of twenty-two, Jennifer Worth leaves her comfortable home to move into a convent and become a midwife in post war London’s East End slums. The colorful characters she meets while delivering babies all over London – from the plucky, warm-hearted nuns with whom she lives to the woman with twenty-four children who can’t speak English to the prostitutes and dockers of the city’s seedier side – illuminate a fascinating time in history. Beautifully written and utterly moving, Call the Midwife will touch the hearts of anyone who is, and everyone who has, a mother.
