Watson SJ

    S. J. Watson je majstrom psychologických thrillerov, ktorý preniká do temných zákutí ľudskej mysle.

Jeho schopnosť vytvoriť znepokojivé a zároveň pútavé príbehy z neho robí jedného z najvýraznejších súčasných autorov žánru.

      During the sixties the Krays and the Richardsons dominated London's criminal underworld. Once they were locked up, the Smiths became the dominant force. The politicians and the councillors like to think they're in charge, but they're false pretenders, every one of them. They're alive today because they don't interfere... But now the Smiths are in trouble: Old Tom Smith is dying and rival organizations are moving in. Dave Smith, Tom's eldest son, must take charge of the manor and make the crucial decisions in a world where the money and power of the drug trade are inescapable magnets. The end of an era is drawing in. The men, the legends, are dying out or are shut away... I K Watson's compelling novel moves through three generations, from the slums of the thirties to the horrors of Dunkirk and the Blitz, from the bombed city and the Londoners under siege to the eighties where another kind of siege is taking place. Written with astonishing power, London Town is on one level an affecting story of generational transitions, on another a brutal and exciting epic of gangland warfare. It will leave no reader unmoved.

    • "The right flank of the 13th has been badly turned. Most of our officers have been killed. Some companies of the K.O.S.B. are endeavouring to cover our retreat." Despatch, Battle of Mons W.H.L. Watson was a British Army, motorcycle despatch rider in World War I. He saw active service during the key battles of 1914 and early 1915. Watson and his colleagues formed part of the Royal Engineers Signal Service and these riders were originally volunteers, some of whom supplied their own machines. This amazing account details the experiences of these brave young men and provides a unique primary source account of life at the sharp end during the titanic struggles fought out in Northern France and Belgium. Richly illustrated with contemporary photographs and maps, this evocative description of the actions of the British Expeditionary Force is a key source and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Great War. Highly detailed, but nonetheless accessible this superb volume is greatly recommended for serious enthusiasts and casual readers alike. Eye witness accounts of these early clashes are comparatively rare and Watson's wonderfully personal account provides a rare insight from an unusual perspective.
