Book twelve in the Kit Marlowe series. May 1593. The rumour spreading around London like wildfire is that Kit Marlowe, playwright, poet and government agent, is dead; killed, men say, in a tavern brawl. But can it be true? And is it that simple? A Puritan stranger turns up at the Rose theatre in Southwark bearing somewhat of a resemblance to the man of fire and air. Is it a trick of the light? Is it a ghost? Or has Kit Marlowe really cheated death and is he now out for revenge on those who tried to kill him? From the highest in the land, in the Whitehall corridors of power, to the lowlife of the Smock Alleys, everyone is a target as the dead poet hunts down the men responsible. Moon Rising sees the welcome return of the queen's most enigmatic spy, the Muse's darling, who doesn't let a little thing like death stand in his way.

Includes a foreword by TV star and best-selling author Cody Lundin. The prepper's guide with a difference During the 1940's Britain suffered a national catastrophe that would become known as 'The Great Tribulation' by its survivors. The remnant of His Majesty's Government formed a department known as The Ministry of Survivors, the mandate of this office being to help, guide and inform the public through the anarchy around them. During the early years they produced and issued a handbook known as 'The Citizen Survivor's Guidebook'. However, as the situation became more desperate, the guidance within this book quickly became redundant. The Ministry deemed that the only remaining course of action was to produce a second edition; informing people to evacuate the chaos of the towns and cities and flee to the countryside, focusing on wilderness survival and how to be self-sufficient on the move. This is a surviving copy of that handbook.
