You think you know Samuel Pepys – writer of diaries, coffee-shoppe frequenter, philandrist of the highest order. But in 1679 he is not yet known for his diaries – they have not yet been written. His wife is still living in blissful ignorance about his affairs. The coffee shoppe bit is still true though… In 1679, Pepys is Secretary to the Admiralty, in charge of the navy, and at the right hand of King Charles. But also in 1679, England is awash with suspicion and fear. The rumours are that Catholic agents are working together on behalf of King James of Scotland to overthrow Charles.

They say you can never go back… ‘Course, I never wanted to return. It took me years to age out. Once I made it, I took off and never turned around. Trust me, there were only three reasons I managed to survive there as long as I did and they abandoned me as soon as they were able. I’d like to say I didn’t blame them, but that would be a lie. I had zero desire to return. Yet here I was, on the road to Northland chasing a story cause my editor told me kids were disappearing… again.

James M. Longo investigó durante años la vida de Adolf Hitler y el origen de su crueldad. Descubrió que antes de su intento de conquistar Europa, el líder nazi se dedicó a exterminar a quienes creía que habían llevado a su familia a la miseria, a los que truncaron sus aspiraciones artísticas y a quienes lo orillaron a vivir como indigente durante su adolescencia. Para Hitler había culpables: los reyes de su natal Austria, el linaje de los Habsburgo. Ese resentimiento lo motivó a presentarse como voluntario al ejército alemán, donde cultivó su terrible antisemitismo.

As he rose to power, Hitler's hatred toward the Habsburgs and their diverse empire fixated on Franz Ferdinand's sons, who became outspoken critics and opponents of the Nazi party and its racist ideology. When Germany seized Austria in 1938, they were the first two Austrians arrested by the Gestapo, deported to Germany, and sent to Dachau. Within hours they went from palace to prison. The women in the family, including the Archduke's only daughter Princess Sophie Hohenberg, declared their own war on Hitler.
