Another dangerous red tide adventure is launched when Roland and
Eric Borg accept an assignment from their mysterious secret service
benefactor. The daughter of an influential tycoon has been abducted
under strange circumstances, and their combined unorthodox skills
are requested. Their mission takes them to Texas, where they are
stunned to discover that the ruthless criminal behind it all is a
lot more than they had at first believed. The match of some old DNA
to some recent forensic evidence connects the monster to over two
hundred abductions. This discovery launches the pair into a
chilling investigation, with ramifications that stretches their
entire concept of life. Erik has the fighting skills of a born
warrior, and the telepathic Telesphorus is an unusually resourceful
cat, but it is Roland's alien inheritance and his powerful
paranormal talents which cements them together as a cohesive and
formidable trio. The fabric of time and space are stretched into
other realities, as Roland's alienity works frantically to protect
them from marauding ruthless criminals, and an adversary with
skills to match their own.
When Roland accompanied his fellow journalist to Portland for a
long weekend break where his friend also had a secretive interview
arranged, he was totally unprepared for the events which
subsequently unfolded. His friend's investigative meeting unleashed
a set of consequences which brought fear and death in and around
the city, and Roland was propelled right into the midst of it. As
he ran and hid in the city to elude these sadistic killers, and the
violence which had shattered his peaceful existence, the mounting
danger sent him into a flight where he was dragged into a dark
underworld of greed, sex and violence. Fear and desperation causes
the young journalist to develop latent and strange psychic and
paranormal abilities which assist him in his struggles against his
assailants, but his inexperience in this dark subsistence soon
threatens his sanity and his life. His subsequent friendship with
an aggressive blond Norseman and a rambunctious cat might make for
an unholy and unlikely alliance, but they are both well suited to
assist him to cope and survive in this threatening lifestyle, and
slowly the bond between them develops into a formidable force.
As the young disoriented Simon Hadley finally gets a grip onto his
repressed sorcery skills, he puts all of his efforts into finding
his missing friends. As he reunites them all into their former
tight union and they strive to avoid recapture, they also realize
that they have to move rapidly to somehow limit the growing power
of their adversaries. Although Ithamar, the black modern-day
sorcerer is now dead, the wealthy and ruthless cartel that had been
allied with him, had achieved unbelievable political power
throughout the western world with their contrived imposition of the
widespread Anti-terrorist Treaty Authority. With the Authority
hell-bent on extending their grip even further afield, it is
apparent that the growing confrontation with the Middle Eastern
alliance could shortly explode into a devastating nuclear war, so
time is not on their side. As events escalate out of control, the
remnants of the ancient forces with which Simon is bonded, now
intervenes to him assist him to escape this turmoil. Unfortunately
this assistance proves to be a mixed blessing, as they are caught
up in events akin to their own ancient history, but where magic
prevails alongside the other forces of nature. Here they are again
confronted with the rise of a familiar black sorcery, where Simon's
own significant magic may be their only hope. As they struggle to
prevail, Simon realizes that they have followed the ancient
footprints left by the alien Carzars, and he begins to contemplate
that perhaps all of what has happened to him could well have been
due to some grand plan devised by these extraterrestrials in
antiquity.
In 1282, Carlos de Tanez becomes the head of one of Portugal's most
influential and wealthiest noble families. It was a time of change
and discovery and Carlos takes advantage of this change, and sails
out on a voyage of discovery that takes him around Cape Horn and
into the Pacific and to eventually discover the virgin lands of
what was later to be known as New Zealand. Gathering male workers
and women as slaves from the Americas and the Pacific islands, he
finally abandons them all into four small settlements in the two
main islands of the future New Zealand, before setting sail to
return to Europe, thereby providing the ancestors of the Maori
people. The young Castilian Juan Kupez was only sixteen when he
joins the expedition. Taken from a depressing life of drudgery and
derogation, he eagerly grasps at the opportunity, and his bright
and friendly disposition quickly establishes his personality and
worth amongst his fellow adventurers. Unfortunately he also has to
cope with the animosity of a youth only slightly older than
himself, and this changing relationship presents him with growing
challenges and conflicts which begin to shape his future. After a
series of mishaps and near disasters out in the Pacific, Juan
returns to their New Zealand base where he is reunited with his
adversary, and where human relationships are strained, twisted and
explored.
Simon the Sorcerer is content in his home at Torstein Tower and has
little interest in the affairs of the High Kingdom. The powerful
magic of Haadis and the ancient installations of the Carzar aliens,
provide him with countless and rewarding days of study. Now as a
sorcerer of considerable power, he faces pleas from King Bradicus
to assist the High Kingdom in repelling a barbaric invasion from
the Divine Union in the south which is being led by the evil and
ruthless Godchild Sorcerer. Previous unpleasant events leave him
hesitant to intervene, until two major incidents again reshape his
thinking. First through an engineered twist of time, his
understanding of reality is shattered when he finds himself in the
presence of the most omnipotent creature to ever exist in the
universe; and secondly he is later exposed to an evil species so
horrendous and powerful that the whole fabric of the galaxy is
threatened. Now he also understands the origins and the motives of
the Godchild invader, and he is no longer reluctant to come to the
aid of the High Kingdom. Unfortunately his assistance becomes
restricted as greater forces move against him, but with the help of
his closest friend Duke Paul and his access to the font of magic,
he moves forward to confront what lies ahead.
