Ten years after the crucifixion of Jesus, Rome awakes to the threat of Christianity and appoints Marc Procus, a renowned Vigilis, to investigate the new movement and to quiz anyone remotely connected to it, including Pontius Pilate. Hauled from examining the cold case of Julius Caesar, Marc Procus has been summoned and tasked with tracking down all leading elements of the new Christianity movement which has been spreading its tentacles all over the known world. Procus embarks on a series of perilous sea journeys throughout the Mediterranean - an area known to the Romans as Mare Nostrum. Our sea. On the Greek island of Crete, he encounters his first Christian family and is humbled by their simple way of life. His next port of call brings him into conflict with Pontius Pilate, the stubborn ex-governor of Judea responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. His travels then take him to Jerusalem where once again he finds himself humbled by the new religion. As the story develops Procus finds himself on the verge of betraying Rome. Meantime, in Rome, plots are afoot to dispose the emperor and establish new rule. Alerted by the betrayal of Procus, the life of his wife and children become precarious, and suddenly they are in danger. Can Procus get back to Italy in time to save his family?

Mano. There's a new cop in Hawaii, and he doesn't take prisoners. This is the tagline which I've used for the premise of Mano. The tale is a post 911 piece and concerns the hunt for an ISIS terrorist cell intent on carrying out a dirty bomb attack on the USS Arizona memorial sat Pearl Harbour. The group is led by the fanatical Hakim, a Saudi terrorist who used to work as an executioner in his home country. When he finds out that there is a tough cop called Mano out to stop him, he makes a near fatal error of judgement by ordering a hit on one of Hawaii's top cops - a move that will bring in the FBI and Homeland Security - and makes Mano aware of the threat against him. Mano is already a marked man because of his previous undercover work on the Chinese triads. His security detail has always been aware of threats made against him and are constantly in a heightened state of alert. Mano has the cream of HPD already working within his squad, besides his own security detail, experienced cops like The Seeker, Nui, and Pono. Together they form a formidable team which Hakim will have trouble overcoming. The story carries a lot of pace and action and strong characterization which ultimately will propel the story forward to a nail-biting conclusion.

A mix of short stories, novel extracts, play extracts, poetry and a travel article, many with a strong hint of spiritualism.
