In dem zweistöckigen, Penthouse auf dem Dach eines Bürowolkenkratzers in der City von London herrschte eine Bombenstimmung. Das war nicht anders zu erwarten, da die Partys des Hausherrn in ganz London berühmt und berüchtigt waren wegen der ausgefallenen und oft sogar makabren Mittel, mit denen Mr. Robert Brookland seine Gäste unterhielt. Auch Jack Callum, Reporter des Londoner Nachrichtenmagazins NEWS, bekam die Gelegenheit, Mr. Brooklands Superparty mitzuerleben. Natürlich wusste niemand, was um Mitternacht geschehen sollte, aber gerade das erhöhte die Spannung.

Zwei Dinge stapelten sich in Bob Hendersons Dachgeschosswohnung in London. Das waren unbezahlte Rechnungen und - alte Bücher.

Das änderte sich schlagartig, als Bob Henderson eine Kiste auspackte, angefüllt mit uralten Büchern, die er bei einem Trödler zum Altpapierpreis erstanden hatte - auf Kredit natürlich.

The tenth century dawned in violence and disorder. Charlemagne’s empire was in ruins, most of Spain had been claimed by Moorish invaders, and even the papacy in Rome was embroiled in petty, provincial conflicts.

Yet according to historian Paul Collins, the story of the tenth century is the story of our culture’s birth, of the emergence of our civilization into the light of day.

Present Day. When Hanna returns to Norfolk from years working abroad, the strange dreams of her adolescence return: indistinct figures in tunics, mighty soldiers in armour, gladiators, temples, an Iceni warrior woman leading her people.

As Hanna realises that she has a connection with a tragedy that occurred many years before, so Brea has to understand that her fate is bound up with her Roman master.

Whether you like it or loathe it, public speaking is something many of us have to do. Be it presentations to colleagues or speeches to a room full of near-strangers, we all want to shine…or at least get through it with our dignity intact.

Too many of us focus on how we’re presenting, and don’t spend enough time thinking about what we’re presenting. The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing.
