After ten thousand years of waiting, sheltering in the pathetic forms of weak and feeble men, the Egyptian goddess of war has finally been reincarnated in the body a woman.And not just any woman.
Following the brutal murder of her godfather, Michele Dukes inherited a global armaments and technology empire. She is, to all intents and purposes, the wealthiest and most powerful woman in the world.
But formidable enemies are ranged against terrorists and torturers, Washington power-brokers and Russian mobsters, religious fundamentalists and would-be-assassins.
She is also under investigation by the FBI as a person of special interest in the 9/11 attacks.
And, beneath it all, she is haunted by shadows from her previous incarnations — adversaries she’d believed long-dead — among them the murdered father of her twin daughters.
I'm not wedded to any particular genre, but where I can, I've written stories in groups...
The Arctic Trilogy books (VINTERKRIG / SOMMERKRIG / PITERAQ) are all out-and-out action adventures. They've been described as Alistair Maclean stories for the digital age — which I'm pretty OK with.
The Liberation Trilogy (CARNIVAL OF HATE / ACT OF MALICE / PURSUIT OF EVIL) are historical adventures set in the last months of the Second World War. They're rather more layered and thoughtful — but still very fast-paced.
At the moment TOTALITY stands alone. It's a complex adventure, aimed at people who really love a historical thriller. It's an accessible read — but it will have your head spinning. I'm working on the second story in the series THE RULE OF ISFET — but it's tough going because the people who love TOTALITY have very high expectations.
On a much lighter note, I've just released a children's book ORC WORLD — which is a lot of fun, in a naughty, slightly gory way.
MANDELMAN — which comes out next month, is a fantasy adventure, set in a world which is perpetually at war. I'll let you know a bit more about it nearer the time...
