Is Humanity and all that goes with it in fact programmed into our DNA?These are questions that have plagued Shiva all her life. For most people, for Normal people, these are questions with easy answers, after all they were born human, raised human, and have always been 'Human'. But Shiva is not 'Normal', she might not in fact be 'Human'. She is or perhaps was a Weapon, she was created as a weapon, trained to be a weapon, and she sees the world as a weapon. But all that changes one day when she meets a girl and for the very first time, she feels something that defies all logic and all reason. Can a weapon fall in love, or this something reserved only for those who are humans?But there are those in her world who have never doubted these answers, to them she is a powerful tool created for a war not yet fought, and they cannot allow that tool to slip from their grasp. So from the shadows they strike at the very thing that threatens to take that weapon from their grasp, that person who might be the key to unlocking the heart within the weapon.

Mutiny, murder and mayhem on the first circumnavigation of the world. With the 500th anniversary of Ferdinand Magellan's great voyage coming up, this is a chance to see what it was really like. The dangers were not just from storm and tempest, risk of the unknown and mutinous crew but, even more insidious, the machinations of corrupt priests back home.It's 1518 and the Catholic Church is under attack from a man named Martin Luther while the Spanish Empire extends its bloodthirsty rule across the world against the wishes of arch-rival, Portugal. The Line of Demarcation divides the world between Portugal and Spain but no one knows on which side the fabulous Spice Isles lie; least of all the inhabitants of those islands. Only one man has the knowledge, experience, talent and determination to settle the question: Ferdinand Magellan, hated both in Spain and his native Portugal. Antonio Pigafetta, former ambassador of the Holy See to the royal court of imperial Spain, casts his lot with a captain set up to fail. Himself beset by religious conflict, Pigafetta has no idea what he is letting himself in for. Mutiny, murder, shipwreck, and wars of religion are only part of it but Pigafetta retains his humanity and loyally serves the Captain General to the end.

Fortunately, that very evening he meets her again under the most extraordinary circumstances involving a barbecue, a storm, a ditched car, and the necessity for an asylum of sorts at the girl’s home in Bella Vista, a suburban town, some twenty-five miles from Buenos Aires City. The girl turns out to be Victoria, who lives with her huge family and is also very much attracted to the young military cadet but refuses to be rushed into what she deems a premature affair. However eventually——after some droll incidents——they get engaged.At the end of the year Victoria and Jimmy——Peter’s best friend——find themselves trapped in a lift for half an hour. Very much to her discomfort, Victoria discovers that Jimmy is in love with her too. But she only has eyes for Peter. They plan to marry and would have done so except that Victoria’s mother suddenly dies leaving Victoria in charge of her small brothers and sisters while Peter, now a graduate officer, is posted far away at a remote location in Patagonia. But suddenly Peter is mysteriously transferred to the 12th Infantry squadron in the north of the country. Jimmy visits him there and they speculate on the strange rumours about impending military operations that mystify the boys. A couple of months later the Argentine Army occupies the Falkland Islands and Britain promises to retake them by force. Peter is already there with the 12th Infantry and is soon fighting against the British. On the other hand, very much to his disgust, Jimmy has not been sent over. Eventually Peter dies manfully in battle and, after a suitable wait, Jimmy tries to woo Victoria to no effect since the girl seems to be ‘at the Falklands’ forever.Years later a group of old friends gather once again on a Sunday evening——they’ve been doing so for years——at what used to be Victoria’s house. Eventually a bespectacled middle-aged woman in a black dress appears and enquires about their chat and when she gets the drift of the conversation——to the effect that youngsters are much too optimistic——she thinks back to that Sunday morning, years ago, when Peter had unexpectedly proposed and how, when she had pointed out that he was rushing things, he had reminded her of the old saying that “it’s later than you think”. When she goes back to the kitchen nobody sees that she is smiling to herself.
