WHY I LOATHE THIS SERIES! After I finished Blaise Pascal, I felt a near-bottomless boredom, rage and contempt for my entire series on the history of philosophers. Join me in an epic rant as I work out the source of my anger! In other words, sometimes I do a call-in show with myself... Do NOT try to all asleep to this!…

Chapter 99 The siren jolted Tom from sleep. His body twisted on his little cot. His brain was scalded with exhaustion. He flew ten, twelve, fourteen hours a day. He closed his eyes at night, and saw his trembling windshield, felt the shaking of his seat as he opened fire, jerked his head involuntarily as his bullets chewed bits of metal off Nazi ae…

Chapter 92 Ruth was not by nature a confrontational person, and she agonized over her decision to confront her husband for over a week. It was, for her – and quite literally – the worst thing in the world. Something about demanding something from him – enforcing her will – made her feel as if she were hanging from a frayed rope over an endless chas…

Chapter 84 Ruth vomited, the precious scrap of paper clutched in her fist. She did not keep quiet. She did not hold her hair back. Her customary terror of germs was gone. She was an animal trying to purge a poison. When she had returned with Catherine from Uxbridge’s little room, she had been struck down by a terrible suspicion. She was no stranger…

BOOK THREE Chapter 81 Runciman was almost too much for Reginald to bear.

Chapter 75 Tom had never seen such joy, and it was a terrible thing to behold. Even the German troops were taken aback. Crowds of men, women and children lined the streets, screaming themselves hoarse. Shimmering clouds of flower petals rained down on the armed columns, like unicoloured butterflies. He was watching the parade from the balcony of th…

Chapter 70 A child can go down, into the depths of parental numbness. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, or the parent. The umbilical is sometimes a lifeline, thrown to the future, with which a mother can hope to haul herself up the well of her own dying. And children can so rarely tear themselves from around that well. A parent present, but a…

Chapter 68 Klaus was astounded at the amount of human energy that can be released by pushing all conflicts into the unconscious. He was an educated man; he knew that the Nazis represented a radical break with European traditions – but then, Germany had never really been a part of Europe anyway. That Europe. The Europe he had studied in England. The…

Chapter 63 In October 1935, Mussolini’s Grand Army crossed the border into Abyssinia. This land had been independent since the days of King Solomon. It was the only African country to successfully resist European invasion in the nineteenth century. The Italians had modern aeroplanes, tanks and flame-throwers. The Abyssinians had war-drums, camels a…

Tom Returns The size of the crowd was completely unbelievable. Tom had never seen even a tenth of the number in any single place. Tens of thousands of people milled, surged, boiled and cascaded down streets like broken rivers.
