VGC. Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1999. First UK edition-first printing. Tan hardback(small mark on the edge of the back cover, gilt lettering to the spine) with Dj(tear on the edge of the back Dj cover, some nicks and creases on the edges of the Dj cover), both in VGC. Illustrated with b/w photos, drawings, maps, diagrams. Nice and clean pages with two small marks on the outer edges, a couple of small creases and nicks on the edges of the pages, two small marks inside the edges of the Dj cover. The book is in VGC with light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 306pp including List of illustrations, chronology, foreword, notes, bibliography, index. Price un-clipped. A collectable first edition-first printing. Product Description: Blood on the Mountain is the first book to recount the full story and reveal the many secrets of The Temple Mount of Jerusalem. It is a tale of bloodshed, human greed and depravity, unparalleled in history. Today the Mount is a walled complex with at its centre the famous Dome of the Rock, which covers a small area of exposed mountain known as the As Sakhra or Foundation Stone. Traditionally the birthplace of monotheism, where Abraham prepared the sacrifice of Isaac, the stone is believed to mark the location of King Solomon's Temple which contained the Ark of the Covenant. Solomon's Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC, and the Second Temple, built by Herod, became the focal point for much of Jesus' ministry. The As Sakhra is also sacred to Muslims as the place where Muhammed ascended into heaven on his night-time journey from Mecca. But despite such spiritual associations, the Temple Mount remains historically the most violently disputed single location on earth; more human blood has been spilt per square metre of its surface than at any other man-made human location in known civilisation, and as the Millennium draws to a close, and militant religious attitudes harden in Israel, the threat of renewed human bloodshed, on a massive scale, persists. This is a revelatory book, containing a central line of detection which unfolds on many levels of history, archaeology and faith. The story contains some of the most famous characters of history: King David, King Muhammad and Lawrence of Arabia. Blood on the Mountain exposes the true historical origins, and the real motives which lie behind the activities and involvement of such organisations as the Knights Templar and the Freemasons, and reveals new evidence about the physical properties and fate of the Ark of the Covenant.

Review: Gideon is a high-concept political thriller by Russell Andrews (the pen name of a partnership between book editor Peter Gethers and mystery novelist David Handler). n nWhen a promising New York writer named Carl Granville is paid a quarter of a million dollars to produce a novel called Gideon, he thinks it's his lucky break. The book is to be based on the material of an old diary--which Carl is allowed to look at, although certain dates and names have been blacked out. The diary and novel involve a 10-year-old Southern boy who killed his brain-damaged baby brother. Carl, baffled but glad of the huge payoff, gets on with translating the diary into a bestseller. But when the editor who commissioned the book is murdered, and nobody at the publishing house knows anything about the Gideon project, the writer realizes that sinister forces are at large. Just to add to his troubles, Granville is accused of the editor's murder and is forced to go on the run to escape the FBI and an assassin. His only chance for clearing his name is to reveal who wrote the decades-old journal. n nGideon is an invigorating read with a remarkably fresh plot and a highly likable and believable protagonist.

Mint condition. Hodder & Stoughton, 2006. First UK edition-first printing. Black hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(small nick on the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated. 362pp including Glossary, index. Price un-clipped. Synopsis: A covert unit of British SAS, US Delta Force, CIA and British intelligence operatives was formed during the build up to the Second Gulf War to carry out top-secret operations in Northern Iraq. Officially they didn't exist. To ensure the stability of Northern Iraq, these men were sent to recruit the Kurdish Peshmerga guerrillas to join the invasion. This ultra-clandestine mission was headed up by Niall Arden, an SAS veteran and black operations specialist. Desert Fire is the extraordinary story of one mission and how his unit was compromised three times - and how each time they managed to escape from an enemy hell-bent on hunting them down. Cornered and desperate, the men of the unit resorted to superhuman efforts to survive as they were thrown into a bloody, mind-numbing close-quarter combat. But even as they fought for their lives, they began to realise they had been sent on a mission that was not all it seemed!. As New/As New. ISBN: 9780340897652
