Miami. En moins d'une génération, les Cubains s'y sont taillé la part du lion.Noirs, Haïtiens et « gringos » bon teint sont out, emportés par la vague latino. Toutes ces communautés sont à couteaux tirés et gare à qui s'en écarte !

Le chaos appelant le chaos, sa sublime petite-amie, qui a des rêves de grandeur, vient de le quitter...Descente aux enfers ou élévation sociale, faites vos jeux... à Miami, rien ne va plus !

May 1565. Suleiman the Magnificent, emperor of the Ottomans, has declared a jihad against the Knights of Saint John the Baptist. The largest armada of all time approaches the Knights'' Christian stronghold on the island of Malta. The Turks know the Knights as the "The Hounds of Hell." The Knights call themselves "The Religion." In Messina, Sicily, a French countess, Carla la Penautier, seeks a passage to Malta in a quest to find the son taken from her at his birth twelve years ago. The only man with the expertise and daring to help her is a Rabelaisian soldier of fortune, arms dealer, former janissary, and strapping Saxon adventurer by the name of Mattias Tannhauser. He agrees to accompany the lady to Malta, where, amidst the most spectacular siege in military history, they must try to find the boy - whose name they do not know and whose face they have never seen-and pluck him from the jaws of Holy War. "The Religion" is Book One of The Tannhauser Trilogy, and from the first page of this epic account of the last great medieval conflict between East and West, it is clear we are in the hands of a master. Not since James Clavell has a novelist so powerfully and assuredly plunged readers headlong into another and time. Anne Rice transformed the vampire novel. Stephen King reinvented horror. Now, in a spectacular tale of heroism, tragedy, and passion, Tim Willocks revivifies historical fiction.

Features a tale of love and war, of intrigue and obsession, of politics and faith, and high adventure. Against a detailed historical backcloth, this work tells of a small band of intrepid men and women who defy the madness of Holy War to realize their own vision of God and Eternity.

Warrant Officer Turner of Cape Town heads out to the mining town the rich family preside over, in this violent thriller from the author of "The Religion".

That same day, the disciplinary perfection of Green River State Penitentiary is torn apart by tribal war, and the prison falls into the hands of its inmates. As the River sucks them all towards the abyss, Klein must choose either to claim his freedom and leave the ones he cares for to die, or risk everything and fight...
