The Tudors: The Complete Story of England’s Most Notorious Dynasty by G.J. Meyer
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Ethnic & National, Irish, Historical, British, Leaders & Notable People, Royalty, History, Europe, England, Ireland
B ONUS: This edition contains a The Tudors discussion guide.
Acclaimed historian G. J. Meyer provides a fresh look at the fabled Tudor dynasty–and some of the most enigmatic figures ever to rule a country. In 1485, Henry Tudor, whose claim to the English throne was so weak as to be almost laughable, nevertheless sailed from France with a ragtag army to take the crown from the family that had ruled England for almost four centuries. Fifty years later, his son, Henry VIII, aimed to seize even greater powers–ultimately leaving behind a brutal legacy that would blight the lives of his children and the destiny of his country. Edward VI, a fervent believer in reforming the English church, died before realizing his dream. Mary I, the disgraced daughter of Catherine of Aragon, tried and failed to reestablish the Catholic Church and produce an heir, while Elizabeth I sacrificed all chance of personal happiness in order to survive.
The Tudors presents the sinners and saints, the tragedies and triumphs, the high dreams and dark crimes, of this enthralling era.

A lex was Ian’s five-year-old son: brilliant, earnest, and compassionate.
He is dead now, but Ian can’t let him go.
When his wife urges him to move on, he drives her away. His performance
at work collapses; his friends leave him. Six months later, alone in an empty
house, Ian starts to see his son again.
Every vision is a repeat of something the boy said or did in life: aching memories
replaying themselves for Ian’s eyes alone. Are these images of Alex real?
Has Ian’s son found a way back, to forgive or condemn his father?
Or has Ian’s sorrow metastasized into psychosis?
With a masterful hand, bestselling Kindle Horror author Adam J Nicolai paints a
picture of grief, madness, and the furious strength of a father’s love for his
son.
Amazon readers are saying:
“Mr. Nicolai maintains a sense of creeping disquiet and uncertainty throughout the narrative; I was unsure whether Ian was haunted by his son or slowly going crazy until the last few pages of the novel.”
- Uncle Progress – 5 stars
“I … found myself marveling at how well-crafted many sentences are. I would find myself stopping and re-reading them, just so I could savor their beauty a little longer.”
- Basil Owen – 5 stars
“Mr. Nicolai uses language beautifully. He paints very vivid images in very few words and he does so brilliantly.” – Tifainé N. Highly – 5 stars
“Mr. Nicolai’s brutally straightforward prose and clear love for his characters… combine into something vital and hungry (like the early works of – dare I speak his name? – Stephen King).”
- Ryan J. Holthaus – 5 stars
“[O]ften it is easy to see why any given writer had to self publish (and often seemingly without any editor). That is definitely not the case here. The writing was intense, compelling and intelligent.”
- Beth C – 4 stars
“[T]he ending was nailed perfectly.”
- Jason Plowman – 5 stars
“For anyone who has been near people in the depths of horrific and insatiable grief, Ian’s hundred mile an hour flight into emotional and physical self-destruction rings true.”
- Shawna B. – 5 stars
“During the climax of the story my 1.5 year old daughter read my emotions and instinctively curled up in my arms and remained there [for the] rest of the book. This was not just a story for me – it was an experience.”
- Ben – 5 stars
“If Alex [is] a sign of things to come, keep your eyes on this author. You will not regret it.”

Dr Anton Kronberg, England’s best bacteriologist, is called upon to investigate and finds evidence of abduction and medical maltreatment. While Scotland Yard has little interest in pursuing the case, Kronberg pushes on and crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes. The detective immediately discovers Kronberg’s secret – a woman masquerading as a man in order to practice medicine – a criminal deed that could land her in prison for years to come. But both must join forces to stop a crime so monstrous, it outshines Jack the Ripper’s deeds in brutality and cold-bloodedness.

–Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother“Caitlin Moran is so fabulous, so funny, so freshly feminist. I don’t want to be like her–I want to be her.”
–Peggy Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My DaughterCaitlin Moran puts a new face on feminism, cutting to the heart of women’s issues today with her irreverent, transcendent, and hilarious How to Be a Woman. “Half memoir, half polemic, and entirely necessary,” (Elle UK), Moran’s debut was an instant runaway bestseller in England as well as an Amazon UK Top Ten book of the year; still riding high on bestseller lists months after publication, it is a bona fide cultural phenomenon. Now poised to take American womanhood by storm, here is a book that Vanity Fair calls “the U.K. version of Tina Fey’s Bossypants….You will laugh out loud, wince, and–in my case–feel proud to be the same gender as the author.”

“ First, you gotta find the perfect bottle,” the Firebug rasped. “Too hard, and it wont bust when it hits the floor. Too thin, and it explodes on impact with the window, splashing you with the fuel mix and burning you to hell.”
Someone is setting fires in the Houston barrio, and Dr. Jack Montoya is the first intended victim. Is there some connection between the torching of his apartment and the gorgeous blonde from his past who appears at his clinic that same day? For sure, Reagan Hurley turns up the flames of his libido, but these days the beautiful firefighter is more interested in putting out conflagrations than fanning old sparks. Yet when a hotly contested mayoral race turns ugly, when Reagans life is threatened and Jacks career almost destroyed, when desire sizzles uncontrollably between them, it seems that no one will be able to
Fade the Heat.
