Certainly Don Everett was not expecting such an outcome when he set out from Thailand to fly his mission of mercy - taking cholera serum to our Chinese allies. And a couple of landmines, too. When the plane was shot down and Don baled out, the landmines exploded on a native village, leaving only one survivor: a fourteen year old girl, whom Don feels bound to take with him. It’s a sort of moral obligation.

David Kerr Cameron
Time has mellowed the stones, as it has sutured the hurts of the heart; hallowed them as the last reminder of the folk who once had their life and their being here. They rest, stilled forever in their coffin'd sleep, and now on the hill nature has reclaimed her own...
Ralph Barker
At this Inquest, and at the trial that followed three weeks later, prejudice against the three accused boatmen seemed likely to overwhelm them. But the evidence was circumstantial, and the trial judge was about to dismiss the charges, ruling that so far as rape and murder were concerned there was no case to answer - when the prosecution produced a surprise witness.

Gold was the need of the Ring Giver and the power of the vast gold hoard king Froda, which had an uncanny influence on men's fates, binds together the mythical, historical and some fictitious elements in this book, in an attempt to bring the Heroic Age to life. It was clear that the old ideas and aspirations were growing inadequate; and Beowulf, seeing clearly though belatedly that peace was best, was forced into war, simply to live up to the ideals of the Ring Giver.
