"AD 1066. Cerdic is a prisoner of war. Captured after the Battle of Hastings, his fate is in the hands of the victorious Norman count Cynric, who is in no mood to feed and look after worthless Englishmen as the army moves inland. His survival depends on his ability to convince them of his value. Cerdic's sole bargaining chip is his lordship of Wulfbury, a small stronghold in Northumberia, following the deaths of his father, its earl, and elder brother in the invasions. If he can entice them with the lure of this fiefdom, he may yet survive. But the fortress is held by a ferocious band of Vikings, who will not give it up without a fight. Will Cerdic be able to convince the Norman knights to let him live, or will his fate be the same as so many other Englishmen lying on the battlefield of Senlac Ridge?"--Publisher.

From the opening chapter, we read: "It is time to rewrite ancient history! The chronology of ancient history as presented by modern secular scholarship is totally and emphatically bogus! The entire subject of biblical chronology, as well as all ancient world chronology, is herein challenged as never before." Now, for the first time, Mr. Finch corrects the errors of past chronological studies. With this important research, it is now possible to finally create a chronology of the ancient world that, at long last, fits all the pieces perfectly together. This timely study puts biblical chronology together in a new light and is conclusively a breakthrough investigation that cannot be ignored. This exciting research is a must-read for all biblical students henceforward.

Podzim 1974 v hornickém Ashburnu na severozápadě Anglie… poslední podzim naší dětské nevinnosti. Jako třináctileté děti jsme podzim milovali. Noci jiskřící hvězdami nebo naopak zalité mlhou hustou tak, že by se dala krájet. Strašidelné historky o Halloweenu, upalování figurín za Noci Guye Fawkese, vidina Vánoc. Když je vám třináct, toto všechno prožíváte ve stavu velkého vzrušení. Toho roku nás ovšem také sevřel strach; v Ashburnu začal s podzimem řádit vrah. Pod rouškou tmy, v té nejhustší mlze najednou číhal někdo, kdo si za oběť vybíral naše vrstevníky. Prakticky v každém městě se šušká o nějakém zabijáckém přízraku. U nás měla dávná legenda souvislost s uhelným dolem a červenými dřeváky. A tehdy v čtyřiasedmdesátém jsme intenzivně přemýšleli, zda klapot, který v oné tragické době občas zazněl v mlze, s tímto přízrakem nějak nesouvisí… Paul Finch (*1964) je jedním z nejvýraznějších britských autorů thrillerů a hororů. V tomto nápaditém podzimním příběhu rozehrává napínavou hru, která potěší všechny fanoušky děsivých dětských dobrodružství ve stylu Temného léta.
