".impressive.fast-paced.The high calibre of writing, together with the thoroughly researched historical detail, make The Alchemist's Dream a compelling read." Quill & QuireIn the fall of 1669, the Nonsuch returns to London with a load of furs from Hudson Bay. It brings something else, too-the lost journal from Henry Hudson's tragic search for a passage to Cathay in 1611. In the hands of a greedy sailor, the journal is merely an object to sell. But for Robert Bylot-a once-great maritime explorer-the book is a painful reminder of a past he'd rather forget. As Bylot relives his memories of a plague-ridden city, of the mysterious alchemist John Dee, and of mutiny in the frozen wastes of Hudson Bay, an age-old mystery is both revealed and solved. A finalist for the 2007 Governor General's Literary Award, the jury said, "In this engrossing historical adventure, John Wilson paints a vivid picture of a bygone era involving Henry Hudson's fateful search for the elusive Northwest Passage, an alchemist, mysterious passengers, and enigmatic maps. The Alchemist's Dream fascinates from start to finish. Set against the thrilling backdrop of the quest for the Northwest Passage, The Alchemist's Dream is a riveting tale of exploration, ambition, and betrayal."

".a brave book, an unsettling book, and one that is very much needed at this time."-The Globe and Mail The Heretic's Secret Trilogy is a rollicking historical adventure set during the bloody 13th century wars against the Cathar Heretics of Languedoc. When the armoured knights of Pope Innocent III swept south in 1209, most thought they would be gone by summer's end but, led by the fanatical Arnaud Aumery and the ambitious Simon de Montfort, they stayed for three fiery decades. In that time they slaughtered thousands of Cathars, burned countless towns and castles, destroyed a thriving country that rivaled France in power and culture, and created the foundations for the shape of western Europe we recognize. Quest follows the stories of Adso, the soldier who helped John escape from Beziers, John and Peter, as they struggle to come to terms with the increasingly bloody war that is engulfing their homeland. Adso determines to fight a guerilla war against the invaders, and in particular, the mercenary Oddo and his Falcons. John and Isabella flee to Al-Andalus to seek peace and the lost knowledge preserved in libraries of the Moors. Increasingly troubled by mysterious voices, and teetering on the edge of insanity, Peter embarks on a quest to find the relic that will announce Christ's coming and the End of Days. Nothing turns out as the characters expect, but each finds a piece of a puzzle that might hold the key to the future. ".an astonishingly nuanced and masterfully told story."-Quill & Quire

Colonel Jonathan: An American Story is an unusual work of historical fiction-more history than fiction. A deeply-researched story of a remarkable man and his remarkable family, who lived in remarkable times, and who left an impact that intertwines with the history of America and extends from the eastern ocean to the western one. It is a story worth rescuing from beneath grandma's back porch, and gluing back together, and being read by everyone who has an even passing interest in America's beginnings.

".fast-paced and gripping" CCBC MagazineIt is 1913 and Edward Simpson is enthralled by his German uncle, Horst, who designs and builds simple-and extremely dangerous-planes in his barn. Fascinated by flight and dreaming of a life in the air, Edward helps his uncle whenever he can. In return, Horst teaches his nephew the rudiments of flight and, one magical day, lets him take his latest barn-built creation up for a spin. Edward is hooked, he will be a pilot and escape the dull, boring world suffered by those whose feet are stuck to the ground. But it is 1914 and events in far-off Europe are dragging the world into a catastrophe that even a farm boy in Saskatchewan cannot avoid. Edward sails for England where he joins the Royal Flying Corps and is sent over to join the battles in the skies over France. He is soon fighting for his life in aircraft even more uncertain than the ones Horst built, against an enemy who is better trained and who fly better armed and more maneuverable planes than he does. As he struggles to survive and watches his friends shot down one by one, he finds his beliefs tested in ways he could never have imagined. Exhausted and bitter, he fights to simply stay alive as the horrors of the Battle of the Somme unfold beneath him."Wilson writes eloquently about one boy's love of flight and his dream of flying.[and] Edward's narrative is thoroughly engaging. A fine, old-fashioned-feeling. tale set in the World War I skies." Kirkus Reviews"Eddie's emotional and psychological development moves us.What makes Wings of War especially engaging, though, is Wilson's artful weaving of Eddie's story with the technical details of early flight: airplane construction and handling, and the specialized techniques required for successful aeronautic battle."

An old man sits by the dying embers of a fire in London of 1669. The ghosts of the past surround him and a decades old guilt weighs him down. As a young man, Robert Bylot did it all: journeyed to the magical Spice Islands on a quest for the alchemist John Dee, communicated with angels through Crystallomancy, and searched for the fabled Northwest Passage with Henry Hudson. He has survived plague, mutiny and fire, and found happiness with an extraordinary woman, but nothing has assuage the ancient guilt that tortures him-unless the old, stained book on his lap contains the answer. The book might be his salvation, or his damnation. Through Bylot's memories and the words written in the book he holds, The Final Alchemy recreates a world at the tipping point between the mysticism of the Middle Ages and the rationality of the Renaissance. The possibilities for glory and profit appear limitless, but the risks are horrifying. At the centre of this world stand two men: Dr. John Dee, alchemist, magus, mathematician, advisor to kings and queens, and believer that England is destined to recreate an empire descended from ancient Troy; and Thomas Smythe, founder of the East India Company, and believer that future empires must be based solely on commerce. Both base their murky plans on fragments of an ancient map, a portolan, that seems to show the unknown parts of the globe in stunning and impossible detail. The conflicting machinations of these two men and the promise of the portolan ensnare Hudson and Bylot in a complex web of intrigue, ambition and betrayal that offers fame or destruction.
