Vampire: Beneficence:
Beneficence There was a short message on the piece of paper; 'Sunday at noon.' It was signed in Concilium Putus Visum A vampire races against time to gather blood for a congregation and save his young girlfriend and daughter from murder by a secret Catholic cult of assassins. *** Get 3 BOOKS FREE > lazloferran.com/3fb *** The Jesus Monster In a small settlement in the Australian Outback, the last survivors on Earth wait for the global virus called The Jesus Monster. Into their midst comes a stranger with a stranger message. This story was written, live, on twitter over a two day period and has been left unedited. Lacunashka Ilya Kuznetsov, a clerk in Stalinist Russia, has discovered that what he thought of as his fool-proof system of recording mail delivery has gone wrong. An envelope is missing and he is determined to find it. Chapter One of Attack Hitler's Bunker! Rudolf Eineger was left with his finger inside a dead body. Repulsed, he withdrew it and wiped it on the black SS tunic. Richard Earlgood, maverick RAF fighter pilot, and Michael Dorfmann, an ambitious Luftwaffe double-agent, plan a daring daylight attack on Adolf Hitler using Hurricane fighters, piggy-backing on 4-engine Stirling bombers to reach the almost completed... impregnable... Führer Bunker in this WWII fiction book. Anna Styles, a Station X decoder, had a romance with Dorfmann at Oxford and is being forced to 'handle' the double-agent. She still loves Dorfmann but she has fallen for Richard too. This single raid to bomb Hitler's Bunker could win the war, but only one man can win Anna's heart. Most of Hitler's staff simply don't believe such a raid is possible but one ruthless SS officer will stop at nothing to catch Dorfmann and defeat the British. Men, machines and passions will be stretched to the limits, in a raid... that will shape... History. Attack Hitler's Bunker! The RAF secret raid to bomb Hitler's Berlin Bunker that never happened - probably. Fans of 633 Squadron The Dam Busters, Valkyrie, The Eagle has Landed Where Eagles Dare or even the WWII simulation game War Thunder will love this white-hot roller-coaster wartime action thriller through the streets of Wartime Berlin on a bombing mission that will make your hair stand on end! Chapter One of Too Bright the Sun A man hell-bent on revenge for the death of his friend in battle! Seeking revenge for the death of a friend ten long years ago, Major Jake Nanden has pursued his own personal demons with an almost religious fervour through life and through battle. He is a soldier so highly decorated for bravery that his fame reaches far beyond the desolate Jupiter moon, Io, where his battalion is stationed. His victories in the Jupiter Wars are hollow though, for he is a man scared of his own soul. His life seems to be a trap from which he cannot escape. His is the Replicant Company, and replicants, or clones, are despised by all. Likened to a cross between Blade Runner and Paths of Glory, you simply must read this beautifully constructed, intensely dark and powerful Science Fiction thriller with a twist, if you love Phillip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov. Beneficence is also available in DRM-Free formats (epub, Sony Reader - LRF, Kindle .mobi, Palm Doc PDB, PDF, RTF and Plain Text) at smashwords.

About the author
Lazlo Ferran
79 books14 followersLazlo Ferran: Exploring the Landscapes of Truth.
Educated near Oxford, during English author Lazlo Ferran’s extraordinary life, he has been an aeronautical engineering student, dispatch rider, graphic designer, full-time busker, guitarist and singer, recording two albums. Having grown up in rural Buckinghamshire Lazlo says:
“The beautiful Chiltern Hills offered the ideal playground for a child’s mind, in contrast to the ultra-strict education system of Bucks.”
Brought up as a Buddhist, he has travelled widely, surviving a student uprising in Athens and living for a while in Cairo, just after Sadat’s assassination. Later, he spent some time in Central Asia and was only a few blocks away from gunfire during an attempt to storm the government buildings of Bishkek in 2006. He has a keen interest in theologies and philosophies of the Far East, Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe.
After a long and successful career within the science industry, Lazlo Ferran left to concentrate on writing, to continue exploring the landscapes of truth.

From lessons learned as a professional musician about personal privacy, I do not publish using my real name but with the pen name Lazlo Ferran. Above, you can read a brief profile that you will find anywhere on the internet, and below, you will find my interview, qualifications and industry endorsements.
Interview
I was interviewed by The Authors Show about my novel Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate. In the interview video on my profile to the left, I share:
1 How Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate blends myth and mystery
2 Lazlo’s research into secret societies and historical settings
3 Behind-the-scenes writing insights
Qualifications
1. After a year studying a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, I chose to leave and received a BTEC Diploma in Graphics at Salisbury College of Art in 1985.
2. My IT Qualifications: building an early CMS from scratch in Perl, certificates in Search Engine Building, JSP, ColdFusion, SQL, B2B sofware.
3. In 2017 I became certified (with Distinction) from the TEFL Academy, London as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language and gained experience teaching foreign students in a local professional school, although I had already taught children with varying degrees of dyslexia to read before. You can see my certificate at lazloferran.com/about
4. As for my knowledge of history, I have been a keen genealogist since the 90s and have traced my family back to a 13th Century Knight in Burgundy.
5. Lazlo Ferran is cited in the 633 Squadron Wikipedia [citation 25] entry for his interview with Cliff Robertson.
Industry Endorsements
1. The Devil’s Own Dice received a five-star review from Maria Beltran for the Reader’s Favourite website.
2. The respected Beijing Review published an article on my books in China: http://www.bjreview.com/Lifestyle/201...
3. The defunct AHF Magazine https://www.amazon.co.uk/AHF-Magazine... published by the Wolfian Press, now Purple Unicorn Media, said The Hole Inside the Earth had ‘Lots of cool action and drew me well in’.
4. For endorsements of my work as editor, here is Amit Bobrov on my work for his novel ‘The Journals of Raymond Brooks’: ‘Lazlo’s the best editor I’ve worked with, and I’ve worked with a few. He took an already successful novel and found every imaginable flaw, corrected dialogues, fixed my grammar and altered key scenes to make them more exiting. He’s a fountain of creativity and knowledge. When I showed my Publisher his version of my novel they were speechless and this was a novel that three previous editor worked on.’
5. I have more than 100 publications (25 as editor) to my name and more than 70 individual works.
6. With more than 100,000 of my books in the hands of readers, their popularity continues to prove that an independent, genre-busting approach can work.
