Other Books and Authors
I often find authors and books to be added to the site and whilst I try and include books in latest releases I do not always spot them in time. This section includes books and authors that have recently been found and may be of interest.
The King's Scarlet

Whilst from the description The King's Scarlet, which was recently released, is mainly land based it is book two in a Royal Marine series.
