Mombasa beach: The dream holiday of a lifetime turns into a
nightmare for a young couple. Brutally attacked and kidnapped, she
has to battle for survival in one of the remotest and most
dangerous areas of north east Kenya. He has to find and rescue her
- before it is too late. Palm trees line an idyllic beach of white
coral sand. An Arabian dhow sails on the clear blue waters of the
Indian Ocean. Two lovers are ruthlessly torn apart, perhaps
forever. Lucy is bound and helpless, taken far from the safety of
the world she knows. Unconscious and bleeding, nothing has prepared
Steve for what he needs to do. The inability of the authorities to
help means Steve has to find the strength and courage to risk his
own life in the desperate search for Lucy and fight back against
the kidnappers. His journey takes him deep into the African
wilderness, where death and danger wait for the unwary. Lucy's
journey is mental as well as physical as she discovers how easily
the protective shell of her old world has been stripped away.
Everything she took for granted is gone and she has to fight to
survive, one day at a time. Whatever happens, she knows her life
will never be the same again. Based on actual events and current
news reports, this fast-paced action and adventure novel explores
the reality of the tensions between the old tribal ways and life in
the new, rapidly developing country of Kenya.
QUEEN SACRIFICE Long ago, in ancient Wales, two kings battle for
their lives. In a land where battles can last decades, trouble is
brewing and the stakes are high. The queen of the northern tribes
has a new son and the king of the south has young Saxon bride. At
the heart of the conflict are the bishops, who are torn between
their faith and their duty. Powerful knights and warlords see the
opportunity to grow rich but know the loser will pay a heavy price.
This is a tale of love and sacrifice, soldiers and spies, heroes
and assassins, who meet in the war to end all wars. * * * * * * * *

EVERY move in the queen sacrifice game, known as "The Game of the
Century" between Donald Byrne and 13-year-old Bobby Fischer in New
York City on October 17th, 1956. "Set this chessboard and its
pieces before your most learned men, to see if their intellects can
fathom this subtle game." (Challenge from an Indian King)
