BENEATH THE DARK ICE:

 

When a plane crashes into the Antarctic ice, exposing an enormous cave system, a rescue and research team is dispatched. Twenty-four hours later, all contact is lost.


Captain Alex Hunter and his highly trained commandos, along with a team of scientists, are fast tracked to the hot zone to find out what went wrong. Meanwhile, the alluring petrobiologist Aimee Weir is sent to follow up on the detection of a vast underground reservoir. If the unidentified substance proves to be oil, every country in the world will want to know about it—even wage war over it. Or worse.

Once suspended into the caves, Alex, Aimee, and the others can’t locate a single survivor—or even a trace of their remains. Nor is there a energy source, only specters of the dead haunting the tunnels. But soon they will discover that something very much alive is brewing beneath the surface. It is a force that dates back to the very dawn of time—an ancient terror that hunts and kills to survive…

 

Soldiers we are not alone. Prepare to go hot.

 

To bring the team out alive, Alex will need every one of his mysterious abilities beneath the dark ice.

CRITICS REVIEW:

 

"BUCKLE UP... This is going to be a hell of a ride!" -- Jonathan Maberry - Bram Stoker Award winning author of The Wolfman (now a major motion picture).


"Beneath the Dark Ice has all the ingredients of a late night page-turner: a remote and dangerous setting, a rugged hero with an Achilles heel, a vicious and deadly villain, geopolitical intrigue and cutting-edge science. Throw in a feisty heroine and a band of elite soldiers, put them in the ruins of an ancient civilization and pit them against a mythological creature, and it’s a recipe for compulsive reading." -- Lachlan Jobbins, Good Reading Magazine


"A fast paced, fun and fantastic debut from a great new talent. Perfect escapism." -- Paperchain Books.


"Beneath the Dark Ice - In a word: GRIPPING." -- Malcolm Tattersall, Townsville BULLETIN.


"An exciting read! A successful mix of spy thriller, psychological drama, and scientific primeval action novel - with just a touch of the Jules Verne." -- Anne Dickson, Rodney Libraries.


" Exciting from beginning to end. Rated 4/5 Stars - Lesevergnügen (Reading Pleasure)." -- Eva Hüppen - Lesser-Welt, Das Literaturportal.

RETURN OF THE PROPHET

Return of the Prophet


[ ADD TO CART ]

 

RETURN OF THE PROPHET:

 

When a massive surge of gamma radiation is detected somewhere beneath the desert of Iran, the world begins watching. Is it a nuclear weapon, or something much much worse?

Alex Hunter and his highly trained incursion team are dropped into the ruins of Persepolis but find nothing. No lab, no weapons, no scientists – not even radiation. A black hole has taken everything, but is it possible something could have come back through? Something not of our world.

The President of Iran is making speeches about the end of the world and the return of the prophet, and yet another gamma spike is detected in Iran. Israel is threatening nuclear war, and the details of America's Arcadian program have been stolen. And someone, or something, is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers in the desert...

The moon is buried in darkness and the world is folded.

Alex must face his fears and follow the traces of radiation to the ancient caves of Arak. Inside those tunnels he will come face to face with a creature from his darkest nightmares. The clock is ticking until the end of the world and the judgment of mankind. Balances must be kept, decisions will be made – but who will be found wanting?

CRITICS REVIEW:

 

"It can be hard to back up such an excellent debut and in the past I have often been disappointed by the second book. This is certainly not the case here. In fact I think expectations have been exceeded." -- Anne Dickson, Rodney Libraries.


"RETURN OF THE PROPHET has all the right stuff.It starts with gamma radiation in Persepolis, progresses through the threat of nuclear war, an ancient curse and winds up with monsters from the dawn of time. What more could anyone want?" -- IAN NICHOLS, The West Australian


"RETURN OF THE PROPHET The pace is breakneck! 4 Stars (highly recommended)." -- Lachlan Jobbins. Good Reading Magazine.

 

"Return of the Prophet is a lot of fun and clearly there’s more work for hunter to do. That is if his enemies or his own side don’t kill him first. He’s been under the Antarctic ice and in the Iranian desert. My bet is next outing he’ll be in outer space. Perhaps the international space station is under attack. But whatever it is, I’ll be alongside him for the ride. Four stars." -- Keith Stevenson, Writer, publisher, editor, www.keithstevenson.com
