Buried underground in Rome, an artefact powerful enough to rewrite human history.

The keeper of this strange object is a Catholic priest cloistered deep in the basement of the Vatican’s secret archives.

Is he a heretic or a madman?

For the men of the church in 1951, it must be one of the above: the alternative is unimaginable.

Wartime spymaster turned presidential envoy Bill Donovan must tell Pope Pius XII what he won’t want to hear — the mad priest holds the key to unlocking ancient technology way more advanced than anything in the modern world.

Donovan has to uncover that secret himself… to ensure America’s enemies don’t get there first.

Grab your copy of Pagan’s Ark now and take a trip into the past with Donovan as he tries to redefine the future.

Sometimes spaceships disappear with everyone on board – the Lost Ships. But sometimes they come back, strangely altered, derelict, and rumoured to be full of horrors.

Opal is on a mission. She’s been seeking something her whole life. Something she is willing to die for. And she thinks it might be on a Lost Ship.

Opal has stolen Clarissa, an experimental AI-controlled spaceship, from the military. Together they have tracked down a Lost Ship, in a lonely nebula far from colonised space.

The Lost Ship is falling into the gravity well of a neutron star, and will soon be truly lost … forever. Legends say the ships harbour death, but there’s no time for indecision.

Opal gears up to board it. She’s just one woman, entering an alien and lethal environment. But perhaps with the aid of Clarissa’s intelligence – and an armoured spacesuit – Opal may stand a chance.

“Think Event Horizon with a bit of ‘Mother’ from the Alien movies and that was the overall feel when I first started this book. […] Opal is a fantastic character, complex, a history we learn a bit more about as we read on, she is heroic, loyal, strong and long long overdue in fiction. I loved the AI too and the relationship that formed between the two, the ballsy choices and bravery through frightening encounters and life and death situations.”
