God`s secret Agents by a young Scottish writer Alice Hogge riveting(it would make a wonderful film).It begins with the Armada ,ends with the gunpowder plot and covers the Jesuit underground mission to administer to Catholics in Elizabethan England


Lhondondave

Pompeii by Robert Harris. Thriller set in the two days prior and post the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
'An unsung hero' about Tom Crean the Irishman who accompanied many a seasoned artic explorer. Highly recommend.
