The Battleship that Challenged the Bismarck

# data[].attributes.description
The story of the HMS Hood, the last great warship of the British Royal Navy, told by the bestselling author of Hannibal. When it was launched in 1918, the HMS Hood was the flagship of the Royal Navy. As a battle cruiser, The Mighty Hood was fast enough to evade enemy cruiser ships and powerful enough to destroy them. But for all the Hoods might, it had one fatal flaw: armor had been sacrificed for speed.   In 1941, the Hood confronted the legendary German warship Bismarck. A salvo from the enemy penetrated the Hoods ammunition magazine, destroying the British ship and killing all but three of its crew. The brutal defeat marked the end of the Royal Navys dominance. But it also inspired Winston Churchills vow to sink the Bismarcka vow that in time was fulfilled.   Through oral history and documentary research, Ernle Bradford chronicles the Hoods career from design to demise, with colorful insight into life aboard the ship as well as its broader historical significance.

A new link in the tale begun in The Gilded Chain from one of the great unsung figures of Canadian fantasy and science fiction (Quill & Quire).   Originally issued as a YA trilogy called the Kings Daggers (including volumes Sir Stalwart, The Crooked House, and Silvercloak), The Monster War works equally well as a single novel. The story fills a gap in the first Blades novel, The Gilded Chain, when King Ambrose sought to shut down the evil sorcery of the Elementaries, and the sorcerers fought back by trying to kill him. The same great characters are all here: Ambrose himself, Grand Master, and Blades Durendal, Bandit, and Snake. Appearing for the first time are Sir Stalwart, the only Blade who does not bear a binding scar, and Emerald of the White Sisters, the only girl ever enrolled in Ironhall. The action wanders across Chivial from the White Sisters headquarters at Oakendown, to Grandon, and into the heart of Ironhall, for the evil penetrates even there. If you missed this one the first time (and most Blades fans did), then here is your chance to join the action as the Kings Blades ride again!
