AFTER THE WORLD DIED, THE LEGEND WAS REBORN. When civilisation shuddered and died, Robert Stokes lost everything, including his wife and his son. The ex-cop retreated into the woods near Nottingham, to live off the land and wait to join his family. As the world descended into a new Dark Age, he turned his back on it all. The foreign mercenary and arms dealer De Falaise sees England is ripe for conquest. He works his way up the country, forging an army and pillaging as he goes. When De Falaise arrives at Nottingham and sets up his new dominion, Robert is drawn reluctantly into the resistance. From Sherwood he leads the fight and takes on the mantle of the world's greatest folk hero. The Hooded Man and his allies will become a symbol of freedom, a shining light in the horror of a blighted world, but he can never rest: De Falaise is only the first of his kind.

Book Description
You have to play his game. Participation is involuntary. The only choice you have is the one he chose for you. Few need to die so the city can be reborn. Eight days, eight dead. All high-profile victims (News Anchor, Priest, Terrorist, NYPD chief, Mayor, Lawyer, Rapper, Actor) are murdered on camera after failing in the twisted games of the masked killer. Each victim played a game designed by the masked killer based on the victim’s history of wrongdoings. In this gripping tale, the vigilante boldly confronts the corrupt heart of society, dismantling it with relentless determination. Armed with technology and masked anonymity, he targets wealthy elites and politicians, sparking a frantic pursuit by NYPD detectives. Rich live in fear in their mansions, and the poor rejoice in the street because they were not the targets the first time. The masked killer is in pursuit of making the powerful feel helpless. He is snatching power from a few and distributing it among many. In the ages-long tussle of Few vs. Many, the killer has chosen the side of many. He kills few to save many. The common man sees him as a leveler and the high-class society as a killer. One man’s killer is another man’s savior. This is how much the society is divided. The common man’s rage and frustration are embodied in the masked killer. This is the killer they wished for. Detective Rick of NYPD, a force of law, won’t have his city drowning in the anarchy. He is determined to capture the killer. Killer also sees Rick as the right adversary and challenges him to capture him. As the cat-and-mouse game unfolds, New York City descends into chaos, revealing the high stakes of justice versus power. This time, in the Cat-and-Mouse Game, the Police are the mouse, and the killer is the cat.

Book Description
Amon Vraja, last of the halfdead, tries to stay out of sight. His kind, twisted by the gift that grants them superhuman strength, are loathed and shunned. Under the enchanted leaves of the Last City, ruled by imperious elves whose love of beauty leaves little room for his ugliness, he's not much more than the ghost of a dragon-haunted past. When the young, headstrong elf-lord Caedian takes an interest in Amon, however, Amon's days in the shadows may be over. Caedian needs Amon to find Caedian's missing twin, and a halfdead brothel guard can't just refuse an elf's desires. Throughout the search, Caedian and Amon rely on each other's strength and generosity, and Amon is struck by an impossible yearning for his elvish patron. As they peel away layers of deceit and spiral closer to one another, they also near the horrifying truth of the elves' protection. And when they discover it, they'll face a choice: step outside the shelter of the world's last city, or die where they stand. 90,000 words

In a fit of melancholy, he is lured into a web of seduction spun by an immortal heretic called Promothos.

Book Description
This novel begins where The Gabriel Chronicles: Book 1—the Beginning ends. After the World Guidance Council (WGC) had taken complete control of the world’s governments and Alexander Gabriel had relinquished control of the WGC, he turned his mind to other things, extraordinary things. Scientists and engineers, led by the incomparable Dr. Isley and financed by Gabriel Industries, began designing and perfecting a new generation of prosthetics. These lifelike prosthetics looked, felt, and moved like a natural limb, allowing amputees throughout the world to begin living normal lives. But Alex, Dr. Isley, and his team didn’t stop there. They took this incredible technology to its ultimate conclusion. They built a complete, viable, synthetic life form (SLF). But again, this wasn’t the end of Alex and Dr. Isley’s contributions. Over the following ten years, they designed and built a ship, a colossal ship—a ship to take all the best from Earth to colonize another planet.

Book Description
CJ Sansom meets Shakespeare in Love - a historical thriller with a swashbuckling twist and a hero like you've never seen him before When he's caught out by one ill-advised seduction too many, young William Shakespeare flees Stratford to seek his fortune. Cast adrift in London, Will falls in with a band of players - but greater men have their eye on this talented young wordsmith. England's very survival hangs in the balance, and Will finds himself dispatched to Venice on a crucial embassy. Dazzled by the city's masques - and its beauties - Will little realises the peril in which he finds himself. Catholic assassins would stop at nothing to end his mission on the point of their sharpened knives, and lurking in the shadows is a killer as clever as he is cruel. Suspenseful, seductive and as sharp as an assassin's blade, The Spy of Venice introduces a major new literary talent. "The Spy of Venice is a playful and inventive debut. The dialogue is wonderful, and Will's banter with his fellow actors sparkles." Antonia Senior, The Times "Entertaining and ebullient . . . The author knows his Shakespeare backwards (the Venice setting has been carefully chosen), rejoices in its wordplay, loves his allusions and has a good time with his characters. So did I." Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail "A Venetian romp" Telegraph
