The King at the Edge of the World by Arthur Phillips

He will do almost anything to return home to his wife and son.Īrthur Phillips returns with a unique and thrilling novel that will leave listeners questioning the nature of truth at every turn.

The perfect man for the job, Ezzedine is the ultimate outsider, stranded on this cold, wet, and primitive island. Belloc enlists Mahmoud Ezzedine, a Muslim physician left behind by the last diplomatic visit from the Ottoman Empire, as his undercover agent. It falls to Geoffrey Belloc, a secret warrior from the hottest days of England’s religious battles, to devise a test to discover the true nature of King James' soul. With time running out, London confronts a seemingly impossible question: What does James truly believe? He has every reason to claim to be a Protestant, but if he secretly shares his family’s Catholicism, then 40 years of religious war will have been for nothing, and a bloodbath will ensue. The queen’s spymasters - hardened veterans of a long war on terror and religious extremism - fear that James is not what he appears. The leading candidate is King James VI of Scotland, but there is a problem. Potential successors secretly maneuver to be in position when the inevitable occurs. It is a capital crime even to think that Elizabeth will ever die. Named One of the Best Books of the Year by the New York Times Book Review and the Washington Post Robinson will certainly thrive in this offense and has a fast track towards superstardom in Atlanta, but the Falcons might have had the nucleus and brain trust to produce a top-tier running game without a top-tier running back.Queen Elizabeth’s spymasters recruit an unlikely agent - the only Muslim in England - for an impossible mission in a mesmerizing novel from 'one of the best writers in America' ( The Washington Post ). Head coach Arthur Smith engineered one of the top running games in the league last year without elite talent and could have produced similar results again. However, if there was any team that didn’t really need to make this pick, it’s the Falcons.

One of those rare running back prospects that’s a consensus first-rounder and so good it’s worth bucking the trend of waiting until the later portions of the draft. This pick has nothing to do with Robinson's talent. Least favorite pick: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas (8th overall) It’s the most promising situation they’ve had at cornerback in a few years. The Falcons have a young, intriguing cornerback situation with Phillips joining A.J.

They haven’t played consistent defense since Michael Vick was the quarterback, but players like Phillips can at least give them an edge in playmaking and ball skills, something the Falcons have severely lacked from their cornerback room for the better part of the last 15 years.
