Book One of Project Shambhala
‘What’s that?’ I demanded, pointing at the objects floating on the edge of the atmosphere, high above our heads.
‘It’s nothing, sir,’ he insisted, his formerly amiable voice now cold. ‘There’s nothing there.’
'You really don't understand, do you? Every government in the Diaspora is part of this conspiracy. There is no-one who'll even listen to you. There's nowhere you can hide, nowhere to run to. If you go back, you're signing your own death warrants.'
'Everything I had believed in was a lie. And now it was my destiny to preside over the genocide of four billion human beings.'
A day that initially seemed to offer great hope ended up as the start of a slow but inexorable descent into hell. For Senior Academician Aleksander Mikhailovich Zinoviev, the arrogant expectation of both promotion and long overdue recognition turned into a desperate nightmare of epic proportions as he found himself exiled to the distant and dismal Project Shambhala.
But is all as it seems? As the human Diaspora continues to monitor the grim reality of Divergence, why are there so many awkward questions that don’t seem to have answers?
Alex keeps trying to remind himself that he doesn’t care, but the questions keep coming. Unlike the answers. Distraction comes in the very sensual and arousing form of his Project Manager, Dr Khaliyah El-Nasri, but even her attentions can't keep him from being sucked into the greatest conspiracy in human history.
And, just when it seems that things can't really get any worse, they do, and an even bigger conspiracy begins to reveal itself.
The third and final part of the Divergence trilogy.
Having witnessed the destruction of Earth in their own time, and then triggered the extinction event that signalled the end of the Triassic Era, 200 million years ago, the crew of the Leonid Brezhnev find themselves faced with only one option: a short trip to Mars. Known as Al-Marrikh in Khaliyah's language, the planet would appear to be teeming with life. And none of it human. But, the Leonid Brezhnev is dead in the water without access to isotopes, and there seems little choice, other than to begin mining operations on Jurassic Earth, waiting for the inevitable Rossiyan reprisals for the destruction of their hidden experiment.
But, Mars is not at all what they expected, and things take a turn for the worse when they encounter an all-too familiar enemy.
