In the second instalment of this beautifully designed sci-fi trilogy, Kaliki has been stuck in Carunala, Spain, for over three months and must find her way to meet her graduated class in Virginia, an ocean away. What daunts her further is her escape from a race that is trying to kill her and the guilt she feels from not being able to find her own twin brother, Leno. Did he leave without her? Did he perish?
Her guardian angel of sorts arrives just in time and has connections to expedite her travel to the United States. Even with Miguel’s help, there is still much to fear, especially when the pair run into some federal agents in Washington, D.C. Kaliki does, however, find some familiar faces but still has doubts about her race’s ability to manage a war.
The Earth’s population of humans seems exponential. How can she lead her population of Cambians to what her eldest, Kenthor, has tasked for her? Can they live with these humans, or is the need for human extinction inevitable for her race to live and thrive?

To tell a story is to be a story. The power in words is the interpretation and how each word forms the layer, the framework that spins the narrative we call life.
This is the tale of a man who sought adventure and found a darkness so deep it killed him twice. Yet he never lost hope, even though he lost himself on the road to finding his destiny.
This is a story about addiction and the insane impact it has on the individual soul that is, at its core, human. But it’s also a story of awareness, awakening and finding an inner belief in a faithless world.
It’s dark, raw and deals with the isolation of a man in his midlife, when the world decided he was no longer valid. He’s gay, divorced, a cancer survivor and an addict; life kicks us really hard sometimes. He walks with death and has for as long as he can remember. Add to this spiritual transcendence, angelic, demonic, alien and other interesting personas that haunt his mind. It pulls in a lot of sci-fi and geek-related tones which pepper life like little moments that always shine brighter in times when our ageing years seem repetitive and relentless.
Ultimately, it’s a fictional story of hope for the hopeless, and in writing this story, I saved my own life.

What if the key to achieving what you want in life isn’t about pushing harder—but about understanding how successful people think?
The Persuasion Game explains how successful people consistently achieve better outcomes in business, personal relationships, negotiations, leadership, and everyday interactions.
Drawing upon research in neuroscience, psychology, and other disciplines, Ghanbari and Armstrong reveal how successful people use their “new brains” to communicate more effectively, persuade more ethically, and ultimately achieve better outcomes in every area of their lives.
Armstrong and Ghanbari make the case that all interpersonal situations are persuasive, yet most people try to convince others without understanding what works and what doesn’t.
When the hidden processes going on in our brains are understood, persuasion stops feeling like guesswork and instead becomes a skill anyone can apply with precision and sophistication.
Through easy-to-read explanations and practical techniques, The Persuasion Game shows you how to:
- Understand the two-brain phenomenon that determines the success or failure of every personal interaction
- Frame conversations and actions to engage people
- Avoid common mistakes that trigger disengagement
- Achieve the best outcomes while maintaining authenticity and integrity.
Whether you want to close deals, inspire teams, strengthen business and personal relationships, or simply communicate your ideas more effectively, this book gives you the neuroscience-backed tools and tactics to do it more effectively.

Civilisation runs on polished façades. Beneath them lie quieter truths polite society finds too unpalatable to admit.
The three novelettes in this collection—Rain, Where Missiles Miss, and The River—are inspired by true events and the lived experiences of people carrying the punishing burden of trauma through the Valley of Shadows—that is, life itself.
In the slow-burn police procedural Rain, a relentless downpour mirrors the characters’ emotional turmoil. A mass stabbing at a local shopping mall sets off an investigation led by Detective Sergeant Gibbs. As Gibbs and his team follow the clues, they untangle the web of personal tragedies that led to the heinous crime.
The dystopian story Where Missiles Miss begins and ends in the sanctuary of Bella and Jan’s home—their only refuge amid the chaos of global war. From there the story moves into Bella’s past—her time in detention, her escape, and her later participation in government-mandated therapy. Bella’s psychological awakening culminates in vocal resistance and personal healing, bringing the story full circle—back home, where Jan awaits her.
The psychological thriller The River follows the life of a successful corporate executive who moves between the restless cityscape of Paris and the pastoral calm of rural France. This lyrical tale of loss and redemption conveys a timeless message: justice will always be served—if you wait by the River of life long enough.
