REVENGE! IS A DISH BEST SERVED COLD

It is some time in the future. A destructive war swept through the Northern Hemisphere, destroying the nations from North America, across Europe, and into Northern Asia, and, with them, the myth of White Supremacy. In the Southern Hemisphere, nations once dominated politically and economically by the former great powers in the north began to flex their muscles and assert their newly found freedom-among which is the former British colony of Australia.

Left bereft by the destruction of the Northern nations, as the flotsam and jetsam left behind when the tide goes out, are considerable numbers of foreign ex-patriot workers. Right-wing elements in the military and among politicians in Australia seized the chance to overthrow the pro-Western government and enslave the foreign workers, knowing that they were now helpless as a result of the destruction of their home countries.

Fifty Years After: The Hunt for Asif

It is August 2012. The Stewart Gang trials are over. Most of the gang members are behind bars and their leader, Lord Philip Stewart, is dead, hanged by his fellow prisoners during a riot. Julia Donaldson’s police team have brought all the gang’s police and political protectors to book – except one, the Prime Minister, Sir Marcus Greenway. Julia confronts him with the evidence against him and he agrees to resign.

Now a race against time begins as his enemies close in on Sir Marcus – the Police who want to arrest and charge him, the Jihadists who want to assassinate him, a survivor of the Stewart Gang who wants to kill him, and a determined reporter who wishes to expose him and his family as being involved in corruption. Facing this threat, the politicians around Sir Marcus and the Greenway family circle the wagons.

But – is this enough to protect the Prime Minister as the western World comes under a sustained terrorist assault by the Jihadists inspired by their leader, code named Asif? And all the time the niece of Philip Stewart is busy resurrecting the Stewart gang under her leadership, hotly pursued by Julia and her team. Will Julia find Elizabeth Stewart and will the Intelligence Community find and eliminate Asif before either can do real harm? And what will happen to Sir Marcus Greenway?

Shadow of the Cross

One Friday afternoon 2000 years ago, a man died, and changed the course of human history. This book invites you to take a new look at who that man was. You will not find the familiar comfortable figure you learned about in church and school RE lessons. This Jesus is very different. The novel traces the story of a man who was fully human, with a human father, human wife and human children. Part of the freedom struggle against a corrupt and dictatorial local government, supported by foreign oppression, we follow his attempts to feel his way through the minefield of Jewish and Roman politics in first century Palestine. This man shares our doubts and fears and struggles to find a meaning to his life and work, while facing apparent failure in his main task. Although set in first century Palestine, this is a very modern book. The Jesus you will find here you could find in the local market or high street. The issues he faces are very modern ones, and the individuals he meets, you, the reader, could just as easily meet. At the end of the novel you will be met with two fundamental questions – Who was this man? – and – What exactly did he do?

They Thought They Were Gods: Novel of the Spanish Conquest of Peru

This novel is an account of the Spanish invasion and conquest of Peru, and of the native struggle, led by Manco Inca Yupanqui, to defeat it. It traces the history of those years from the death of the last great Inca, Huayna Capac, in 1528, probably from smallpox, which the Spanish brought to South America, to the death of the last Conquistadore, Don Gonzalo Pizarro, who was executed for treason in 1548, following his abortive rebellion against Spanish imperial rule.

The story is told by an Inca nobleman, Huayna Rimac, who was Curaca (Governor) of Machu Picchu and, later, of Vilcabamba, as well as being the age mate, confidant, friend, and aide de camp of Manco Inca. The book does not try to present a balanced and fair account of the conflict between the two empires. It is an Inca account of the conflict. Huayna Rimac, however, as time went on, began to appreciate the strengths of the Spanish, as well as their weaknesses. Eventually, he was, reluctantly, forced to give them credit for their achievements.
