Cori is sick of Antius' corrupt hierarchy, and her friend Dylan convinces her that the only way out is to gain trust on the inside. The colony was strict before Nathan succeeded his father, but it's even more ruthless ever since. Adults are drugged into submission and women are penetrated by high-ranked officials and are forced to bear children out of duty. Antius is not a place I would like to live in.

That’s when Jim mentioned that one of his first jobs was as editor of the movie tie-in for THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT, written by Joe Millard.

Meir-she's called Golda by everyone in Israel-beckoned us to the couch, trying to make us feel at home. The ubiquitous Israeli coffee and cakes were laid out. Her son, Menachem, and his wife and children, who live next door, were also there to greet us. “Come in, come in,” she urged, waving us toward a simply furnished living room. The door to the house opened and Golda Meir, the former Prime Minister of Israel, stood there in a plain green‐and‐white striped summer dress and heavy white oxford shoes. One looked us over, the other announced us on the phone and then unlocked the little gate. ![]() The car turned into a quiet side street and stormed in front of a small, unpretentious house enclosed by a wire fence and guarded by two men in a sentry box. ![]() We drove to a suburban neighborhood about 10 minutes away from Tel Aviv, an area lush with huge red poinciana, brilliant in the blaze of the sun. ![]() ![]() ![]() Combing through translations of early chronicles and poetry, along with medieval authors such as Geoffrey of Monmouth, Chr%C3%A9tien de Troyes, and Malory, he chooses passages that fit his theory. He hints that his last name might be from the Scottish Ard Righ or High King, thus linking him to Arthur. Conveniently, Ardrey is a Scot with Scots-Irish roots. There is an entire subculture devoted to proving that King Arthur existed and Ardrey (Finding Merlin) adds to the speculation in a selective look at the literature%E2%80%94and some faulty etymology%E2%80%94that leads him to believe that Arthur was not a Christian Romanized Briton but a pagan Scot. ![]() ![]() ![]() The traditional story widely accepted by historians is far less scandalous: Henry, enchanted by a flattering Hans Holbein portrait of his bride-to-be, was repulsed by the “ tall, big-boned and strong-featured” woman who arrived in England at the beginning of 1540. As Sarah Knapton reports for the Telegraph, Weir’s Anna of Kleve: The Princess in the Portrait, the fourth installment in the non-fiction and fiction writer’s Six Tudor Queens series, theorizes that the notoriously mercurial king ended his marriage after discovering his new wife had already conceived a child with another man. A new novel by Tudor historian Alison Weir outlines a controversial alternative to the oft-cited account of Henry VIII’s divorce from his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. ![]() |
