  Jason Murdock was caught up in a life of crime, attempting high-profile heists. But when a job goes fatally wrong, he’s given a choice: rot in prison or work for the company he was trying to rob. Feeling he has no other choice, Jason agrees to help test a revolutionary piece of technology—a high-tech body suit that renders its wearer immune to bullets, blunt force, and electric shocks. 
  Now working on the right side of the law but for a company he doesn’t fully trust, Jason uses the suit to infiltrate dangerous environments and expose weaknesses in top-tier security systems. But when he uncovers a sinister plot to weaponize the suit’s capabilities for criminal gain, Jason realizes he’s being set up.  
  Trapped between corrupt insiders and a web of betrayal, Jason must choose: run for his life—or fight back with everything he has.

  Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure. 
  A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present. 
  When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’. 
  Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.  
  And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt. 
  Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line. 
  Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.  
  The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.  
  He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World. 
  The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’ 
    
  The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them. 
  Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.

  Some Service to the State

  The year is 1925. In the borderlands of a newly partitioned Ireland, a doctor new to Northern Ireland begins a search for a missing patient, a young girl who has fallen pregnant.
   
  Meeting a wall of silence, she enlists the help of a local, a former IRA volunteer recently released from jail. Their enquiry brings them into contact with a community still suffering from the wounds of civil war. More worrying for them, they find they are beginning to rattle skeletons
   that some powerful people would prefer went undisturbed.
   
  As they slowly begin to unravel the truth of the girl’s fate, they find that the traces they are following lead to some crimes more monstrous that they ever previously considered.
   
  
   
  “Some Service to the State is a superb book with dialogue that would not be out of place on the stage of the Abbey Theatre. Mick McAlinden is a former IRA man caught on the wrong side of the border and the wrong side of history: a law student who ends up working in an abattoir. Aidan McQuade has created a character whose travails highlight the thwarted dreams and the tragedy of partition for so many people in post-revolutionary Ireland.”
   
  - Ronan McGreevy, journalist and author of Great Hatred: the Assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson.
   
  “Like Graham Greene, Dennis Lehane, and Louise Penny before him, McQuade takes the humble crime story and uses it like a scalpel to probe and expose the darkness in human souls and human society.”
   
  - Martin W. Sandler, National Book Award-winning author and historian.
   
  “The sparring sparky dialogue is a delight and never fails to vivify the darkness. McQuade shows prodigious skill in shining a spotlight on the scandal of mother-and-baby homes and in brilliantly imbuing the past with his own potent blend of heart, soul and wit.”
   
  - Rosemary Jenkinson, multi-award winning playwright and author of Marching Season.

  In a post-outbreak society, Griffin may have more enemies than friends. 
  Two years after the closing of the Altered Re-Assimilation Centers across the United States, Griffin King is trying to rejoin a vengeful society still nursing its wounds. Even though he has been ostensibly cured, no one is eager to trust an infected-turned-altered.

Compelled to continue the work left behind by his former caretaker, Dr. Holston, Griffin must decide who he can trust.
