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.
