"They were either going to install me as the Arch Druid, or they had something of a sacrificial nature in mind. Perhaps I should tell them I wasn't a virgin." He already knew his cancer was terminal and lying in hospital, finally surrendering to the morphine, Michael accepts that he is dying. But suddenly it's all gone wrong - he's awake when he should be dead, and in a place he's never seen before. Is this just the random sparking of failing brain cells before the last goodbye? Is this what death feels like? Out of place and out of time - even realising that he is still alive doesn't do him any good. He is at the wrong end of an impossible journey, in a society untouched by civilisation So much is different, so many things aren't there. But human emotions never change and that's the problem. "Tangled and dangerous relationships in a sweeping saga of conflict, betrayal and discovery. As seen through the eyes of an ironic and devious observer." Carfax Reviews

Run for your life - Harry Lyndon is a civilised and happy man, his world organised just the way he likes it. But then, out of the blue, someone tries to kill him - and he has no idea who or why. The trouble is that when he tells the police it turns out they also want him dead. Something is horribly wrong. He's forced to run, with nothing but the clothes on his back. It isn't mistaken identity. His credit cards have been cancelled, his flat watched and his girlfriend disappeared. He is the named subject of a full scale terrorist alert - and they're going to shoot him on sight. Only one thing might help - without his anti psychotic tablets he's getting more than a little unstable himself - dangerously so. Somebody, somewhere, thought he'd be a pushover . . . . . . "A high octane page turner from gripping start to breathless finish."

The biggest explosion since the German Blitz is about to hit London. MI6's agent in Islamic State is running for his life - his cover blown - but desperate to get his information out. While in London, the terrorists finalise their plans for a massive radioactive dirty bomb in the heart of the City. The components for the bomb are all in place, and the Metropolitan Police are doing their best, but it just isn't enough. At every turn it seems the bombers are one step ahead, killing anyone who stands in their way - police officers, bystanders even their own people. The only opponents the terrorists haven't allowed for are: an injured man who should still be in hospital, a mentally unstable jihadi bride looking for revenge, and a young MI6 analyst, who despite her skills has never seen active duty. Deep underground a desperate game of cat and mouse is being played out on the swaying rattling carriages of the London Tube. This could be a good time to be somewhere else - anywhere else.

There were two men called Barabbas, both of them called Jesus Barabbas. They crucified the wrong one - but what about the one that got away? This book tells you. Jerusalem AD 33 was a city in uproar, the authorities were struggling to keep the peace. An unusually candid view of the infighting that followed the death of Jesus, as seen by a lucky but unrepentant eye witness. An account which might help answer some of the New Testament's more puzzling questions. WHY are the gospel accounts of Jesus' trial almost certainly untrue? Why if Mary Magdalen was so central to Jesus' life does she abruptly vanish from the story? WHY if Paul was such a misogynist were so many early churches led by women? WHY do the disciples seem to have rejected Jesus' nominated successor? One highly unlikely source might just have the most likely answers. In the words of Barabbas the robber - "I was there, and I saw, and I remember." A plausible and fascinating suggestion of what might have happened. Why has no one written this story before?
