The Last Sunrise

In the Last Sunrise we follow the life and adventures of Jack Hawkins, the illegitimate son of a Royal Marine Corporal who took advantage of the innocence of a young working girl. Young Jack and his mother are forced by circumstances to move from their home in Portsmouth and seek a living elsewhere. His mother becomes housekeeper to a vicar who though kindly is a very strange man indeed.

Fate takes a hand and they move to another parish and look after another man of the cloth who offers Jack’s mother marriage. They then move to Australia and a totally new life where Jack grows into a fine young man. After a stint working on a sheep farm Jack joins the West Australian Army as a Mounted Infantryman.

At the outbreak of the Boer War he is sent to South Africa where the great adventure begins. Plenty of bloody action, love and tragedy are now part of his daily life and he finally meets the love of his life, but will it last? Read on. . . .

The Key to Armageddon

The advance of modern technology has been both dramatic and a great aid to communication. Mobile phones now not only have the ability to send messages and take photographs of a stunning quality, but they can store a seemingly endless amount of information. Computers have now been developed to a degree where it seems they can almost think.

A program of great complexity can now be inserted into a computer and it will carry out its function without error, surpassing anything its previous human operator could achieve. But there is a downside. In our world there are always forces for good and evil, and the battle between them never ends.

In The Key to Armageddon we begin to see what the free world may face if the dark forces manage to gain the upper hand in this developing technology. Take a breath and read on. . . . .

The Tiger's Hoard

Since the end of the war with Japan in 1945, an almost continuous search has taken place on many of the islands captured by the Japanese for the legendary hoard of gold looted during the capture of Malaya, Singapore and the Philippine Islands.

The intention of the Japanese had been to send the gold, silver and precious stones to Japan to assist in financing the war, but American submarine activity in the Sea of Japan prevented this. Our story covers the present-day search and the rewards that favour those who seek the Tiger’s Hoard.
