Even the paranormal puts in an appearance (as one might say).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe action is set variously in France, Britain, Eire, Kenya, Russia, Poland ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou are guaranteed hours of stimulation, enjoyment and fruitful relaxation with a book devoted to one of the defining events of our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTARE INTO THE PAST WITH THE EYES OF THOSE GRIPPED BY ITS DRAMA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the stories have been especially written for this Anthology by writers experienced in their field.
