Frontline Earth
What if the end of World War III… was just the beginning?
When the satellites fall, the power goes dark, and the global order collapses overnight, every person on Earth becomes a soldier in a war no one was prepared for.
Hidden beneath decades of black-budget programmes, secret alliances, and buried bloodlines lies a truth so explosive it could shatter everything we thought we knew about history—and the future. The world’s elite have known this day would come. They just never expected it to arrive so soon.
Frontline Earth unleashes a world on the brink, where ancient families, rogue intelligence factions, and so-called conspiracy theories converge in a battle for humanity’s survival. At the centre is Marine Alex Matthews—torn between his oath and a shocking discovery that will change the course of the war, and the planet, forever.
Blending geopolitical thriller with pulse-pounding action and a shadow of science fiction, Frontline Earth: The Last Alliance is the explosive debut from Xander Lucas—where every conspiracy was just a warning, and the end of peace… was only the beginning.

I Am
Bread, light, a gate, a vine, and the way are fairly unconventional ways to describe yourself and yet they are some of the most profound and accurate descriptors the Lord Jesus uses to describe Himself.
This book explores the seven ‘I am’ statements found in the Gospel of John, plus another nine occasions where the words ‘I am’ are spoken.
We examine why these declarations are a lifeline for those who believe in Christ, giving some fresh insight into what Jesus meant when He said:
‘I AM.’

The Patient's Bequest
Davina Blackley was once a competent, confident senior officer in the Western Australian Police Force—until toxic masculinity got her fired. Now she investigates insurance claims, a far cry from her old life.
Then everything changes again. One moment, she’s trailing a man who falsely reported stolen gold bullion (he’d merely hidden it, waiting for prices to rise). The next, she’s alone in a dark cell, hands tied, a bag over her head. She almost died—and still can’t remember everything that happened.
Now her boss insists on therapy. Counselling. Talking to a stranger about feelings. Worse? She’s been saddled with a partner. The guy (whose name isn’t Ted) doesn’t play well with others. He’s a brilliant investigator, no doubt, but now he also resents being encumbered.
Their mission: Investigate two massive insurance claims that, if paid, would spike premiums for everyone—a scenario the Board finds unacceptable. Ted and Davina, the so-called “Dream Team”, must dig up evidence to refute both claims. But there’s something they don’t know—Perth’s most vicious crime boss is invested in both matters.

The Investigator's Pigsticker
When you are neck deep in trouble, the best thing to do is to stop, give up, and hope for the best. But this wasn’t his way. Never had been. At school, he was constantly in trouble with the teachers. At home, growing up, he was always being harassed by his parents. He very quickly developed a tendency to find someone – anyone but him – to blame.
Like that bitch detective who caught him out in an interview. He’d always never said anything other than “lawyer” when being interviewed by police. But it wasn’t his fault, because she’d tricked him.
So, when he was incarcerated for 10 years – 3653 long days, including leap years, of bad food, poor sanitation, overcrowded cells, hard seats and harder men – he spent the time thinking about what he’d do to her. When he was able to think. Because he didn’t have an easy time of it in jail. Which was her fault, of course.
Davina Blackley had almost been killed before. But now, she knew she was actually dying. And this time, she was on her own. No-one looking down a telescopic sight at the brute attacking her. She was no longer part of the Big Blue Gang. She had no tools. Certainly no weapons. No food, water or even clothes. So she really was in deep trouble. Maybe just stop then, give up, and hope for the best?
Or do something?

The Orphan's Goddaughter
Ian Lombard is no-one’s idea of a vigilante. A career truck driver, on the wrong side of sixty and recently forced into retirement, he accepts that the good life is not something he can aspire to. Dying well is about the best he can hope for.
Then a chance encounter shocks him out of his gloomy self-absorption. A goddaughter he never knew he had was fatally injured when she tried to intervene between a drug dealer and a vulnerable friend. Lombard—who wasn’t always a truck driver—has a history and a talent that very few people know about and decides that karma needs a hand.
Detective Superintendent Davina Blackley looks exactly what she is: an experienced, diligent and competent high-ranking police officer. She is tasked by the Commissioner to do something about the Cadre, a shadowy organisation that is behind most of the drug deals in Perth. She is determined to bring the people responsible for the young girl’s death to justice, but she is hamstrung by the lack of evidence and the absence of any real intelligence about the cadre and makes a critical mistake.
Lombard has no access to the little information the police have about the Cadre. He has no-one to help him and no authority to do anything. But balancing this is the fact that he is unencumbered by the constraints of the Criminal Investigation Act. He doesn’t have to worry about procedural fairness, rules, regulations or even personal scruples, so he sets out to do something and, in the process, creates havoc.

Coins
Late in his life and over a period of several months, Frank Ross places six coins under a rock on the slopes of a mountain in Scotland called Ben y Vrackie. Both the coins and the mountain have resonance and significance for Frank, as well as, in due course, for six other people. The book follows his life from his childhood into his early sixties. During this time he encounters twelve people who are to have a profound effect on him. Six are kind; six are not. The narrative examines the ancestry of all the characters and the consequent effect on their personality and behaviour, and thus how they interact with Frank.
Frank Ross is essentially a decent man who reacts in a singular manner to events and actions that he sees as either good or bad. This is a novel about retribution and love, but mainly about love.

حفلة انتحار
"حفلة انتحار" مجموعة قصصيَّة تضمُّ ثماني عشرة قصَّة تستمدُّ أحداثها مِن الواقع المؤلم الَّذي تعيشه طائفة كبيرة مِن المهمَّشين والمضطهَدين، مِمَّن رماهم القدَر بسهام الحرمان، أو اليُتم، أو الجوع، أو التَّسلُّط، أو التَّهميش.
رُوِيَت هذه القصص في معظمها بأسلوب ساخر، يمزج بين التِّراجيديا والكوميديا السَّوداء، وينتهي معظمها بنهايات قد لا تُرضِي أبطالها ولا تشفي غليل قُرَّائها، ولكنَّها قد تدفعهم إلى التَّساؤل عمَّا يمكن أن يَحدث لو أنَّ القدَر وقف إلى جانب أبطالها، وكادَ لهم بدلًا مِن أن يكيد عليهم.

The Food Lady and Bucky
Bucky, the old deer king, is in trouble. It is Christmas and his front leg is swollen; he cannot run or leap, and he can hardly walk. Still, B.B., one of the squirrels, does not want him at the kind Food Lady’s feeding area.

B.B. decides to bury the apples in the snow. He does not care what Coonie or Jerome, the neighbourhood’s friendly raccoon and skunk, have to say about the meaning of Christmas or Jesus’s birthday.
Rusty, the orange squirrel, and Lilly, the tiny sparrow, help B.B. change his mind.
