    Liv has a lot of secrets. For her, home is the picturesque town of Ålesund, perched on a fjord in western Norway. One night, in the early-morning embers of a great party in the basement apartment she shares with two friends, Liv is watching TV, high on weed, and sees a python on an Australian nature show. She becomes obsessed with the idea of buying a snake as a pet. Soon Nero, the baby Burmese python, becomes the apartment's fourth roommate. As Liv bonds with Nero, she feels extremely protective, like a caring mother, and she is struck by a desire that surprises her with its intensity. Finally she is safe. Thirteen years later, in the nearby town of Kristiansund, Mariam Lind goes on a shopping trip with her eleven-year-old daughter, Iben, who angers her mother by asking for a magazine one too many times. Mariam storms off, leaving her daughter in the shop, expecting that she’ll find her own way home. When she returns home later that evening, Iben isn't there. Detective Roe Olsvik is assigned to the case of Iben's disappearance; he has just turned sixty and is new to the Kristiansund police department. As he interrogates Mariam, he instantly suspects her—but there is much more to this case and these characters than their outer appearances would suggest. A biting and constantly shifting tale of family secrets, rebirth, and the legacy of trauma, Reptile Memoirs is a brilliant exploration of the cold-bloodedness of humanity and the struggle to mend broken lives and families.

    What has the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the supposed hoaxed Moon landings have in common? Is there a connection between the infamous Watergate scandal and the supposed Aurora super aircraft project? Project Ares is America's most secret project, beyond even the security of the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bomb. Spanning several decades, the project has unlimited and, more importantly, unaccountable funding and resources. So when the project is threatened the leaders fight back with deadly force, even when the threat comes from the highest levels of their own government and the struggle is likely to lead to nuclear war. This is Brian Phillipson's third book.  His second book entitled "Pharaoh's Treasure" was shortlisted in the USA Best Book of the Year Awards 2008.
