Area 53

Have you ever wondered if an alien UFO really crashed at Roswell? Do you suspect that its advanced technology has been reverse-engineered, giving rise to the out-of-this-world innovations we see today? What about the crew? Did any survive the crash? Were they truly aliens, or could they have been something entirely different – perhaps the subjects of the ultimate black-op?

You’ve always known that the government has been covering up the truth, haven’t you? Just as you’ve realized that the story has been kept secret all this time for a reason. But are you certain you know what that reason is? Maybe it’s time to think again.

In Area 53, you’ll be invited to critically re-assess all those conspiracy theories that have been the subject of countless books and TV programs over the years. With a fresh perspective and eye-opening revelations, this book will challenge your beliefs and make you question everything you thought you knew about the Roswell incident and its aftermath.

Death Row

In Death Row, Susie Barber delves into the intricate tapestry of humanity amidst the harshest of circumstances.

As prisoners adjust to life on death row, a stark contrast emerges between the severe confines of their cells and the whispered hopes of redemption that linger in the shadows. Amidst the strict routines, limited interactions, and ever-looming spectre of their fate, a fragile sense of humanity endures, urging readers to question the complexities of justice and compassion even in the face of inevitability.

A bloke who has found comfort and solace at some of the most trying times in his life by turning to his faith.

It’s a book that is suitable for all ages, for those trying to make sense of that RI lesson, have found traditional help inadequate, or are just trying to understand what folk see in all this faith stuff.

It won’t give you all the answers. It’s all about an invitation to share the journey to try and find them.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes - Solar Systems

Cut off from Earth due to a collapsed wormhole, a growing colony of scientifically-minded humans struggles to survive on Novis. They fear their new world could suffer the same fate as its predecessor, where an asteroid wiped out all indigenous land animals. Equipped with an extensive embryo and seed bank of Earth’s plants and animals, they understand the need for population growth while striving to develop an enlightened society, aided by extended lifespans.

After many years, their first tentative steps reach out to the nearby moon and then deeper into their new solar system. Over time, despite efforts to maintain unity, divisions emerge as their population grows. A breakaway group commandeers the community’s latest spacecraft and establishes a rival colony on Condatis, a planet closer to Sol but less hospitable.

From the outset, both communities share the ultimate goal of re-establishing contact with humanity’s birthplace, Earth, some 40 light-years away. After generations, they finally possess spacecraft capable of reaching what some still believe to be their home world. However, will civilization still exist there? It was no secret that armed conflict severed the wormhole connection with Earth nearly 400 years ago. And if a technologically advanced civilization remains, how will they be received?

Family

If only AVM Derek Fullerton had made a different decision thirty odd years ago, if only he had given the assistance and the resources that he could have back then, his whole world would not now be on the verge of collapsing on top of him.

For the next thirty years he and the MP who tried to help him in his darkest moment, would be committed to finding the man who so horribly stole his future and bring him to justice, but they had no idea of the recoil that would follow their success.

Now fate had brought them all uncomfortably back together, the men who survived war, on both sides, the secrets they kept, and now their children and one grandchild were in fear for their lives, they would all have to work together to save everyone that mattered to them.

Sleepers

As usual, the boss had slipped out early on Friday, leaving the Cellar without a leader. The atmosphere was light and relaxed – until the red phone rang. Six pairs of eyes locked onto Steven, the closest to the phone. Hesitantly, he picked up the receiver. His eyebrows arched in surprise and concern during the brief, one-sided conversation. He hung up without a word. The room held its breath.Without explanation, Steven grabbed a thick folder from his desk and, with a resigned shrug, headed towards what they called the ‘prison cell’, a stark briefing room down the tunnel to No. 10. A stray Post-it note had somehow ended up on yesterday’s briefing paper about the IRA. The damning yellow square contained Steven’s unfiltered thoughts about how civil servants needed a kick if the IRA were to be defeated. And now, she wanted a face-to-face.
