In this richly varied collection of a dozen short stories, Alexander Tait draws from his skills of imagination and historical research to enable his readers to encounter Rock legends of the 'sixties, the court of King Arthur and a Roman centurion on the shores of Loch Lomond. Tait's characters are to be found on the Arctic Convoys, the beaches of Dunkirk, Blitz-torn Birmingham and the surface of the Moon. They have been crafted with understanding, warmth and humour, and demonstrate the great truth - that it is in the lives of the ordinary that the extraordinary is to be found. The tales, which range in time from the Crucifixion of Christ to the present day, all deal in their different ways with the eternal battle, within individuals and nations, between good and evil.
