    • Beloved and bestselling author John David Anderson returns with the conclusion to the epic sci-fi coming-of-age tale that began in Stowaway, which Booklist called "The Mandalorian meets Guardians of the Galaxy" in a starred review. Leo Fender is no stranger to catastrophe, whether it's the intergalactic war that took his mother's life or the ongoing fight for his own. He's seen his planet plundered, his ship attacked, his father kidnapped, and his brother go missing--and found himself stranded on a ship with a bunch of mercenary space pirates. Still, nothing could have prepared him for the moment he and the crew tried to save his father...and discovered a dark plot that could destroy hundreds of worlds in the blink of an eye. Now Leo is adrift. His father has sent him on a mission with nothing but a data chip and a name of someone who could help, and Captain Bastian Black and the crew of the Icarus are determined to see this through to the end with Leo, to fulfill his father's wish and prevent further conflict. But as Leo searches for answers, he can't help but wonder what it would take to end the war, to track down his father and brother and return to whatever home they have left--and if the cost of doing so is one he would be able to pay.

      The Romans saw the strategic value of a settlement in the area around Bishopton, Erskine and Langbank and held the harbour at Langbank from where they could control the Firth of Clyde. Much excavation has taken place over the years in the area, including a substantial Roman fort at Whitemoss farm which dates from 85 A.D. With the advent of the railways in the mid seventeenth century the area became popular with businessmen from Greenock, Paisley and Glasgow and some fine houses were built, many of which remain today. Included in this collection of photographs are some interesting images of Erskine house, originally the residence of Charles Stuart, 12th Lord Blantyre then later the Princess Louise Scottish Hospital for Limbless Sailors and Soldiers. It is now re-born as the exclusive Mar Hall Hotel.
