    The year is AD655. 
    With allies in every kingdom, the great warrior king, Penda of Mercia, stands in a position of power throughout Britain. 
    Just one kingdom stands aloof, that of Bernicia to the north. Ruled by King Oswiu, the brother of the long-dead King Oswald of Northumbria, Oswiu schemes for a unified kingdom of Northumbria, despite Penda’s desire to truncate those wishes. 
    As Penda and Oswiu align themselves for one more final battle of survival and supremacy, alliances will be made and broken, and the victory will go to the man most skilled in warcraft and statecraft. Or will it? 
    The ebb and flow of battle will once more redraw the lines of the petty kingdoms stretching across the British Isles. 
    Praise for Pagan Warrior 
    "M. J. Porter has written a story of one battle – Haedfeld – which will change the face of England. And written it very well indeed, for the dialogue is sharp and whilst the day-to-day descriptions are fairly sparse, the telling of the battle is gripping." HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

    Ultimate Trial The: AI vs Humanity

    As we stand on the precipice of a new era, it’s impossible to ignore the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ever-growing presence in our daily lives. From the voice assistants in our homes to complex systems predicting our behavior, AI is no longer a concept of the distant future—it’s here, and it’s reshaping our world. 
    The Ultimate Trial: AI vs Humanity was born out of my fascination with this evolving relationship between humans and machines. What began as a casual interest in the ethics of AI quickly spiraled into a deep dive into the moral, philosophical, and legal implications of creating intelligence that could one day rival our own. As technology develops at an unprecedented pace, the line between human and machine begins to blur, raising questions that were once the domain of science fiction. 
    This book is not an attempt to offer definitive answers, because, in truth, none of us can predict exactly how the future will unfold. Instead, I invite you to join me in exploring the complexity of these issues. Through the lens of a global courtroom drama, we will examine the delicate balance between human rights, technological progress, and the moral dilemmas we may soon face. 
    In The Ultimate Trial, you’ll find a story that explores both sides of the debate—humans fighting to preserve their place in the world and AIs struggling for recognition and autonomy. It’s a story about survival, identity, and, ultimately, what it means to be alive. 
    I hope this book sparks your imagination, challenges your perceptions, and leaves you wondering about the future we are collectively shaping.

    John Ferguson was born on the 18th August 1881 in Stirling in Scotland. 
     
    He attended the High School there and little other information is available.   
     
    It is known that he worked primarily in the banking industry.   
     
    His literary canon is exceedingly small, this being the only volume of his poems ever published.  What is known is that he suffered from ill-health and these poems were written whilst in a sanitorium. 
     
    The book itself was very successful after its publication in 1912, with at least 14 editions published during his lifetime. 
     
    John Ferguson died on the 8th March 1928 and is buried in the cemetery at Stirling Castle.  He was 46.
