About the author

Robert David MacNeil is an author, world-traveler, and investigator of things supernatural. Over the last twenty years he’s traveled to 31 nations teaching on angels, demons, and supernatural encounters. His travels have taken him from the steppes of Mongolia to the jungles of Thailand, and from the Eskimo villages of Northwest Alaska to le fin del mundo, the “end of the world,” at the tip of South America.

Robert loves science fiction and suspense thrillers, and is a student of history–especially ancient Greece, Rome and medieval Europe. He’s particularly fascinated with Patrick, Columba, and the Celts of ancient Ireland and Scotland. The Celtic monks had a very special relationship with the angels. They also loved beer and invented whiskey. The Irish really did save civilization.

Robert has authored five non-fiction books under a different pen-name. IONA PORTAL is his first novel. He’s presently working on the sequel, IONA STRONGHOLD.

Good read

Good book and story line. Best to follow in series and opportunities to see the impact of various consequences of decisions whether good or bad.

Iona Stronghold Triumphs!

Having read and been drawn into Book One of the Synaxis Chronicles, I've been looking forward to Book Two for some time. I was not disappointed. The story was well paced and held my attention, even though I'm not generally a fantasy fan. The book would have benefitted from more thorough editing - it would have been stronger without the distractions of grammatical issues. BUT it was exciting, and I'm so looking forward to Book Three.

Enthralling views of warfare!

I simply could not put this book down. I am searching and eagerly anticipating the third of this series. The descriptions of warfare and how the Presence surrounds us for healing is truly awesome!

2 thumbs up

I couldn't put it down! The fact that the book was written based on factual and religious research excited me! It's a feasible explanation of biblical events wrapped in a fiction novel. I love it!

Excellent Series!!

Both books kept me on the edge of my seat and gave me a true glimpse of the reality we live daily. Good vs evil. Who's side are you on?
