LONDON 1600. Though Queen Elizabeth has ordered the Earl of Essex's release from confinement, she's thwarted his return to social and military grace by barring him from court for an indefinite term. Unsatisfied with this humiliation, the Queen considers whether to cut off his sole remaining income, as well. Noah Ames strongly advises against it on grounds that the Queen will thereby lose any remaining influence over Essex's conduct and also place him in desperate financial straits. When several seemingly unrelated men are found murdered, Noah begins to suspect that such murders reveal Essex's treasonous intention to return to court in bloody defiance of the Queen's order.

Destroyer from the Lost Planet is the enthralling third book in the science-fiction series From Heaven To Earth They Came. If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you'll love Neal Roberts' historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival. The power-hungry and much-despised Anzû, frustrated by the failure of his attack on a summit meeting attended by his Anunnaki foes, begins a campaign to drive a wedge between the Anunnaki and humankind. His devious plan is to persuade Ambassador David Schubert that Enki (half-brother to the Anunnaki king) has always been humanity's enemy, and that David will need the immortality that Anzû can bestow in order to save the beloved Queen Inanna from an approaching celestial collision. In the event of hostilities between the Anunnaki and Anzû, where Earth will be their battleground, it is clear to everyone that either side would be capable of destroying its enemy's command-and-control by means of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can be created by detonating a high-capacity nuclear bomb at high altitude. As an EMP would confer a marked advantage upon the first side to use it, it is a highly destabilizing weapon. Anzû, having long seethed over ancient slights, is desperate to gain this advantage to wreak vengeance on those who he believes betrayed him. As David struggles to avert a cataclysmic war, he learns of the Anunnaki lore of a "Destroyer" who, having defeated Anzû in ancient times, is destined to return and defeat him once again. With tensions rising on Earth, David and U.S. Navy Commander Catharine Weldon are dispatched on a diplomatic journey to the pyramidion of Enlil, King of Nibiru, where the Destroyer is believed to reside. The Destroyer, long in love with the beautiful Queen Inanna, enters the fray at last. But even he cannot save the Anunnaki and humankind without David's help, for no one but David can approach Anzû closely enough to defeat his destructive plans. With the Destroyer's help - and with Earth in the balance - can David thwart Anzû's plans for world domination? Will David himself prove to be the new Destroyer?

Maker from the Lost Planet is the enthralling second book in the science-fiction series From Heaven To Earth They Came. If you like ancient battles of the gods, dashing and romantic heroes and heroines, action-packed plots, and thrilling suspense, then you'll love Neal Roberts' historically inspired tale of ancient lore woven into our modern-day struggle for survival. David Schubert, now America's first ambassador to the ancient Anunnaki gods, is tasked with building a lasting peace between the two sides. Although the path toward such a peace is complicated by the vast superiority of Anunnaki weapons and spacecraft, David soon learns that an even greater threat to humanity is rapidly approaching. At the landing platform in Baalbek, David is brought aboard the goddess's pyramid shaped spacecraft (known as a "pyramidion"), where he is immediately informed that a thermonuclear missile of unknown origin has just been fired at the pyramidion from a point in Northern Canada, which David would have thought impossible as, for several weeks, an impenetrable Anunnaki ray has been neutralizing all thermonuclear triggers on Earth. Someone, however, has evidently developed technology that can overcome the Anunnakis' defensive ray. David needs to identify the source of such mighty technology, as it could be used to wipe humankind off the face of the Earth despite any peace forged between Earth and the Anunnaki. David himself is unable to investigate, as he's aboard an Anunnaki craft and working in a diplomatic capacity, so his bodyguard, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Catharine Weldon, is dispatched by the President to Northern Canada to pinpoint the missile's launch point and, if possible, recover a small scientific submarine that recently went missing while investigating suspicious activity on one of the largest lakes on the North American continent. That night, the icy lake erupts into a violent confrontation between Catharine (with her hastily assembled contingent) and an unidentified saucer-shaped spacecraft under the command of the Anunnakis' deadliest ancient enemy, who'd long been thought dead. Time is running out for David, Catharine, and humankind. Can all-out war between the gods be averted, and humanity saved from destruction?
