Summary

In "The Brighton Boys with the Submarine Fleet," James R. Driscoll crafts a thrilling narrative that deftly intertwines adventure, camaraderie, and the technological marvels of naval warfare during World War I. The story follows a group of valiant boys from Brighton who enlist in the daring exploits of the submarine fleet, capturing the zeitgeist of youthful exuberance amidst the gravitas of conflict. Driscoll's engaging prose employs a vivid realism that brings to life the complexities of both the sea and the human spirit in times of adversity, reflecting the literary trends of early 20th-century adventure fiction that romanticize heroism against a backdrop of historical accuracy. James R. Driscoll, a keen observer of military history and youth culture, drew inspiration from the collective experience of wartime bravery and the transformation it engendered in young men. His background, enriched by a passion for storytelling and an understanding of the socio-political landscape of his time, allows him to imbue his characters with depth and authenticity, making their struggles resonate with readers. Driscoll's works often explore themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas encountered in warfare, reflecting the complexities faced by his contemporaries. This compelling tale is recommended for readers seeking a richly textured blend of historical fiction and adventure. Driscoll's narrative not only entertains but also invites reflection on the impact of war on youth and the indomitable spirit of camaraderie. Remarkably relevant today, "The Brighton Boys with the Submarine Fleet" serves as a reminder of the courage that can arise from friendship and shared purpose.

    A rosary in one hand. A dagger in the other. Sister Magdalena never heard of the Catherinite nuns until the day she faced her own death sentence. Rome, 1562. It’s the era of the Index of Banned Books and the Roman Inquisition. Kings still burn heretics. The worst threats come from within the Church itself. Only seventeen, Magdalena killed a priest who tried to rape her within the walls of her convent. His powerful family will see her executed, and then they’ll destroy her mother and young sister. Instead, the pope makes an offer. To save her life and protect her family, Magdalena can disappear into a secret religious order, one with a demanding physical regimen to go along with the prayers. She’ll pray the psalms and learn to climb walls. She’ll sharpen her mind and fine-tune her body. Perfected, she’ll infiltrate the Council of Trent. Magdalena’s order slips through cathedrals and palaces at the council, the Pope’s silent operatives. They act as bodyguards for the cardinals. They gather intelligence. If they find heresy, the penalty is death. But when one of the pope’s own men is named a heretic, Magdalena must decide how far she’ll go to protect her church.

    Meet John Bannack. Jailed for a crime he didn't commit. Busted out of a Texas State Prison. Running for freedom and gunning for justice. They call him . . . THE MAN FROM WACO. 
     
     
     
    As a young man, John Bannack worked hard on his brother's farm—until times got tough and his brother grew desperate. Desperate enough to rob a bank. Unfortunately, John's brother left a trail that led straight to the Bannack farm. When a posse showed up to make an arrest, John made a fateful decision: He confessed to his brother's crime. Sacrificed his freedom for the sake of his brother's family. And doomed himself to a hard, hellish life in a rat-hole state prison . . . A man's got two choices in a place like that: get tough or get killed. For John Bannack it means this will be a one-way trip to Hell. 
     
     
     
    Bannack is on a work detail outside the prison. On the way back, Judge Wick Justice, who sentenced Bannack, tags along with the prison wagon, only to find he has involved himself in a planned prison break. When a gang ambushes the wagon and frees the prisoners, they bullet-blast the guards—and the judge takes a hunk of lead himself. But Bannack finds the judge alive and takes him to safety. In return, the judge releases him from prison and employs him as his bodyguard and avenger.
