Summary

It is ten years since peace came to Northern Ireland but not everybody is happy with the transformation. An alliance of dissident republicans and Jihadists is plotting a fresh campaign to force a final British withdrawal from Ireland. Having stumbled across the plot, Belfast journalist Terry Casey, who survived a bombing as a child, is once more a target.
 
Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) unveils a Dubai-based arms deal with links to the U.S. and Ireland. Before long, its sister service MI5, along with the FBI and Ireland's Special Detective Unit is engaged in a desperate race to catch the organisers and abort looming disaster.
 
As the killings mount across the globe, it is hard to friend from foe. The insurgents hold the political high ground, especially at the United Nations, where they make hay with accusations of racism and xenophobia. As the security net closes on the plot leaders, the authorities check up some significant wins but are still struggling to interdict an arms shipment to the terrorists in Ireland. 
 
As the drama reaches its climax, unseen links between the Troubles and events in Belfast thirty years later come to light, helping to explain the actions of current players on both sides of the contest. But many more will die before this happens.

    Thanksgiving - our annual festival of sharing amongst family and friends. A feast of favorite foods and comradery originated to memorialize the appreciation and remembrance of two diverse groups. We know the story of that chilly day in the Fall of 1621 when the Pilgrims of the Mayflower and those indigenous came together to share a meal. But before this, there was a predecessor. Lost in the annals of history is a story of a similar meal shared amongst adventurers and escapists. A meal shared by those from the land of the Crowne and others native to a land of untouched valleys and forests. A land they called home. This event has a different viewpoint. Found within these pages are the remembrances and adventures leading to that meal as re-told generationally by the surviving few. Recorded on these pages is that event - that First Feast.

    When the Vikings attack, a novice monk's life is changed forever in Matthew Harffy's new historical adventure.Lindisfarne, AD793. There had been portents – famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground. He has been taught to turn the other cheek, but faced with the slaughter of his brothers and the pagan desecration of his church, forgiveness is impossible.“Harffy's writing just gets better and better ... He is really proving himself the rightful heir to Gemmell's crown” - JEMAHL EVANS

    As a tomboy growing up in Kansas, Amelia Earhart delighted in trying new and risky things, once she even built a roller-coaster in her grandparent’s backyard. In her 20s she fell in love with flight while watching an aerobatics exhibition and grew even more enthralled when she took her first airplane ride. At age 24 she earned her pilot’s wings and in 1928 took part in the transatlantic "Friendship" flight. In 1937 she married publisher George Putnam who managed her career and promoted her zealously, ensuring her status as the world’s best-known aviatrix. The next year she soloed the Atlantic, afterward receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross and began championing the efforts of women to explore careers traditionally held by men. Tragically, just days before her 40th birthday her plane vanished en route to a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean as she neared the end of her round-the-world journey. After an exhaustive search, no trace of the plane or Amelia was ever found.

But since he came to minister to the small town of Pueblito Verde, most of what he sees are tamer transgressions. Knowing his own past, Paul believes the occasional mistake doesn't make someone truly evil. But some men are more evil than others. When the brutal Jack Kerrigan and his band of ruffians hit town, Paul' s new life starts to go bad. Then things go from bad to worse when ruthless bounty hunter Dave Sprole arrives with money and murder on his mind. Now, the town is caught in the crossfire between two cold-blooded killers-- and Paul knows that it's time for him to stand up for what he believes in.
