K.M. Ashman
“Caratacus stood at the mouth of a cave contemplating the scene below him. The stream pouring through the gulley had carved this feature in the landscape over tens of thousands of years and the water fell angrily from the inaccessible gorges above. For years, it had been the hiding place of fugitives and brigands, but the sight of five hundred battle weary warriors descending on their hideout had persuaded the incumbents it was probably in their interests to move out, and Caratacus had taken over the gorge with little argument. - Chapter 35”
K.M. Ashman, The Fall of Britannia

Peter  Gibbons
“Einar could feel the fury pulsing from Ivar as he stalked back and forth in front of the fire like Fenris, the giant wolf who guarded the doors of Hel.”
Peter Gibbons, Viking Blood and Blade

Nicholas Monsarrat
“Father Salvatore lived here for the last thirty years,’ he answered. ‘He lived with the brothers in the monastery. I cannot tell you why. Some say he was sent there after the war, as a punishment. For what? Some say he went mad, and was put in a cell. I said to you before, who can tell? Some say he chose to live here, instead of Malta, because of something that happened.’ His thigh was twitching again, and he calmed it like a fractious child, a child with toothache or a high fever. ‘They say he never spoke of it. It was a secret between himself and God. And perhaps the archbishop—who knows? … But now he rests here for ever.”
Nicholas Monsarrat, The Kappillan of Malta

Eric Schumacher
“We are all victims of our lives. Some of us accept our circumstances better than others. Some rot from the inside out until every word they speak drips with sourness or venom. I suppose that”
Eric Schumacher, Sigurd's Swords

James  Holland
“The previous year, in August 1941, the Butt Report had been published, an independent investigation into the accuracy of Bomber Command’s bombing effort. The killer statistic was the claim that only one in three bombers had been managing to drop their bombs within 5 miles of their target.”
James Holland, Big Week: The Biggest Air Battle of World War II
