Towards Extinction
A chillingly plausible thriller where natural disasters and human greed collide, threatening the global food chain.
When fruit flies ravage European olive groves, the resulting shortage of premium oil opens the door for unscrupulous traders to substitute dangerous industrial-grade alternatives. Diane Benedict, a brilliant scientist at Rainbow Paint (UK) Ltd., is drawn into the conspiracy as she seeks a safe alternative for their coveted eco-friendly paint formula, already compromised by industrial espionage.
Meanwhile, in Peru, relentless El Niño and La Niña weather patterns ravage native Jatropha trees, whose seed oil is crucial for biodiesel production. A bacterial blight creates a hazardous waste product that, due to the negligence of engineer Angel Ramirez, is unleashed into the ocean, contaminating the anchoveta fish population, a key source of protein for global food supplies. The result: a potent plant-derived estrogen mimic that slowly unravels humanity’s ability to reproduce.
Diane’s relentless pursuit of the truth uncovers the counterfeiters and the callous individuals behind this escalating threat. But can she expose their crimes and survive their ruthless attempts to silence her before it’s too late?

The Path to God's Promise
One of the last things Elinor Simentov wants is to be a prophet of God, but God has other plans.
A Jewish woman of no particular renown, Elinor is told by God to give a warning to all who will listen. Will she serve as a prophet, sacrificing her goals for herself, self-image, and reputation in order to do something that may be completely useless?
God’s message is simple. Humankind must radically change course or face extinction. To give warning, God uses prophecy to urge humans to change. Transported through past, present, and horrific potential futures, Elinor is asked to share her visionary experiences and conversations with God to urge us to take action.
As we are barraged month after month by once-in-a-lifetime storms, record-setting heat waves, shifting polar vortexes, horrendous floods, and decades long droughts, it’s hard to continue to ignore the signs and omens. The Path to God’s Promise combines dire warnings about climate change with the transformative power of prophetic experience. It asks whether or not it is too late for us to save ourselves and challenges us to live vastly different lives.

The Narrative
What happens when a child is never told “No”?
What happens when politicians are never told “No”?
What happens when politicians lie, manipulate and trick you into saying “Yes”?
An existence created for the centralisation of absolute power, sold to the masses under the promise of an impossible ideal, elimination of offence of any kind and of any type. Noble in its outset but eventually leaving a personal existence devoid of virtually any meaning.
Leaving places, roads and indeed people without names and the truth hidden and warped for the endless, narcissistic pursuit of unaccountable power, where life itself is of no value to those owning it.
In this existence of total neutrality and equity of outcome for all, a dream tugs at a lost and tired soul, continuously trying to create a spark that ignites the flame of freedom. But where does it come from? What is its meaning? What is this thing called freedom?
Who will stand and fight for that freedom? Who will take on the heart of absolute power, being not only the politicians but The Narrative itself?
It is irrelevant if you believe The Narrative, because like everyone else, you belong to it…

After falling in debt to a gang of underground freedom fighters, Red must fight, steal and possibly kill his way to not only uncover the answer to his brother’s death but also the true origins of New Chimera’s wealth and the terrifying link between the two.
