Fiji is a spellbinding novel of adventure, cultural
misunderstandings, religious conflict and sexual tension set in one
of the most exotic and isolated places on earth. As the pharaohs of
ancient Egypt build their mighty pyramids, and Chinese civilization
evolves under the Shang Dynasty, adventurous seafarers from South
East Asia begin to settle the far-flung islands of the South
Pacific. The exotic archipelago of Fiji is one of the last island
groups to be discovered and will remain hidden from the outside
world for many centuries to come. By the mid-1800's, Fiji has
become a melting pot of cannibals, warring native tribes, sailors,
traders, prostitutes, escaped convicts and all manner of foreign
undesirables. It's in this hostile environment an innocent young
Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer find themselves.
Susannah Drake, a missionary, questions her calling to spread God's
Word as she's torn between her spiritual and sexual selves. As her
forbidden desires intensify, she turns to the scriptures and prayer
to quash the sinful thoughts - without success. Nathan Johnson
arrives to trade muskets to the Fijians and immediately finds
himself at odds with Susannah. She despises him for introducing the
white man's weapons to the very people she is trying to convert and
he pities her for her naivety. Despite their differences, there's
an undeniable chemistry between them. When their lives are suddenly
endangered by marauding cannibals, Susannah and Nathan are forced
to rely on each other for their very survival. Written by
father-and-son writing team Lance & James Morcan (authors of
The Orphan Trilogy), Fiji is an historical adventure-romance
published by Sterling Gate Books. A feature film adaptation of Fiji
is currently being developed.
How do you catch a man who is never the same man twice? That is the
question posed in The Ninth Orphan, a top-rated international
thriller novel and the first book in The Orphan Trilogy. An orphan
grows up to become an assassin for a highly secretive organization.
When he tries to break free and live a normal life, he is hunted by
his mentor and father figure, and by a female orphan he spent his
childhood with. On the run, the mysterious man's life becomes
entwined with his beautiful French-African hostage and a shocking
past riddled with the darkest of conspiracies is revealed. But can
the ninth-born orphan ever get off the grid? To find out you'll
need to go on a tumultuous journey around the globe to such
far-flung locations as China, France, the Philippines, Andorra,
America, England, Germany and French Polynesia. The frenetic
cat-and-mouse chase moves from airports to train stations and
hidden torture prisons, taking the reader on a shocking,
nail-biting ride into the world's closet of skeletons that goes
beyond conspiracy theories to painful reality. Fast-paced, totally
fresh and original, filled with deep and complex characters, The
Ninth Orphan is a controversial, high-octane thriller with an edge.
Merging fact with fiction, it illuminates shadow organizations
rumored to actually exist in our world. The novel explores a
plethora of conspiracies involving real organizations like the CIA,
MI6, and the UN, and public figures such as President Obama as well
as the Clinton, Marcos and Bush families. Tackling genetic
selection, mind control and secret societies, The Ninth Orphan
exposes a global agenda designed to keep the power in the hands of
a select few. The novel's antagonists are members of a shadow
government acting above and beyond the likes of the White House,
the FBI, the Pentagon and the NSA. Could something like this ever
take place? Or, is it already taking place right now? This unique
and unpredictable thriller also has a poignant, romantic sub-plot.
The story contains the kind of intimate character portraits usually
associated with psychological novels. Buckle up for a wild trip
full of death-defying action, cloak and dagger intrigue, unexpected
role reversals and surprise endings. Written by father-and-son
writing team Lance & James Morcan (authors of The Orphan
Factory, The Orphan Uprisingand Fiji: A Novel), The Ninth Orphan is
Book #1 in The Orphan Trilogy. A feature film adaptation of The
Ninth Orphan is also currently being developed.
