Robert Goddard: In Pale Battalions (USA 2007) From the Publisher: Their journey starts with an unscheduled stop at the imposing Thiepval Memorial to the dead of the Battle of the Somme near Amiens. Amongst those commemorated is Leonora's father. The date of his death is recorded as 30th April, 1916. But Leonora wasn't born until 14th March 1917. Penelope at once supposes a simple wartime illegitimacy as the clue to her mother's unhappy childhood and the family's sundered connections with her aristocratic heritage, about which she has always known so little. But nothing could have prepared her, or the reader, for the extraordinary story that is about to unfold. Robert Goddard: In Pale Battalions. Delta Publishing, ISBN: 0385339208 (May, 2007), 400 p., $12.00

Robert Goddard: In Pale Battalions (UK 1993) From the Publisher: But nothing is quite as it seems in a Robert Goddard novel. In a narrative that moves between Cheltenham and New York, Paris and rural Wales, Tunbridge Wells and wartime Spain, the conspirators themselves are caught up in a chain of dramatic events that are the consequences of meddling in the dark secrets of the legendary poet. In Pale Battalions is as full of devious and unexpected twists and as compelling as anything Robert Goddard has written. Robert Goddard: In Pale Battalions. Corgi Books, ISBN: 0552138398 (July, 1993), 526 p., £4.99 / £6.99.
