'Packed with insight and anecdote, his story brings the Tower ravens to vivid life, each bird with a personality of its own. I've been fortunate enough to tour the Tower and meet the ravens a few times in years past; after reading this book, I cannot wait to go back' George R. R. MartinFor centuries, the Tower of London has been home to a group of famous avian residents: the ravens. Each year they are seen by millions of visitors, and they have become as integral a part of the Tower as its ancient stones themselves. But their role is even more important than that – legend has it that if the ravens should ever leave, the Tower will crumble into dust, and great harm will befall the kingdom.One man is personally responsible for ensuring that such a disaster never comes to pass – the Ravenmaster. The current holder of the position is Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, and in this fascinating, entertaining and touching book he memorably describes the ravens’ formidable intelligence, their idiosyncrasies and their occasionally wicked sense of humour.Over the years in which he has cared for the physical and mental well-being of these remarkable birds, Christopher Skaife has come to know them like no one else. They are not the easiest of charges – as he reveals, they are much given to mischief, and their escapades have often led him into unlikely, and sometimes even undignified, situations.Now, in the first intimate behind-the-scenes account of life with the ravens of the Tower, the Ravenmaster himself shares the folklore, history and superstitions surrounding both the birds and their home. The result is a compelling, inspiring and irreverent story that will delight and surprise anyone with an interest in British history or animal behaviour.

Two thousand years have passed since the so-called «The end of the World» described in my first book. A thousand years ago, reptilians were defeated. Awakening of the planets’ consciousness helped people, after all, the planets have even changed their names. Terra, Dilly, and Masha created the «Union of Three Planets» for protection from external threats. A millennium of peaceful life has come. Why does sadness dominate the planet? The heroes of my new novel will have to deal with it.

In the Book-10. “New era”, novella you will find new adventures of heroes. The Coalition Union of the star systems of the galaxy included the civilization of the Earth. For Earthlings began a new era. But this does not preclude the Union tensions within the coalition itself, and alliances are based exclusively on the trade- off relationship that continually arise and are in a state of constant negotiation processes.
