Legend tells of an ancient time when human beings made war against one another. It led to the battle of Radium, where mushroom clouds covered the sky. Humans became ash, and the Earth turned black. The filth of their weapons covered humankind, causing the birth of Dwarfs, Elves, Druids, and other monstrosities that now walk the Earth. Humans remain in various forms, some savage, some civilised, some tormented. However, humanity has learned nothing and the struggle for dominance continues.

Can a small group of men change history? Since the dawn of modern warfare, small groups of trained soldiers equipped with the right equipment, and more importantly ‘Intelligence’ have carried out missions that have led to major victories and crushing defeats. This is the story of one of those units. Steve Roberts is a young man with the same aims and hopes of many young men just starting out in life. His gift is that he’s a good soldier, who excels at his profession. Approached by the Americans to join a special unit, to help counter their enemies around the world, Steve enters a world where friend and foe become unrecognisable from each other. Along with Ali, his unit commander from the Shah of Iran’s elite guard, Cody a paratrooper from Scotland, Aaron a French commando, and Sukai a Japanese marine, Steve finds himself pulled down the road from a naive youth to a ruthless killer. Forced to fight for their very lives against all who would do them harm, Steve learns, that sometimes your greatest love, is the one thing that makes you vulnerable.

Steve Roberts belongs to a five-man unit, formed in the Eighties by the CIA. Their brief was to complete missions that for political reasons, America could not be seen to be involved in. The unit carried out many successful missions, until their enemies became aware of their existence, making them a liability. Worried, the CIA decided to terminate the unit; the first attempt failed. In the Nineties, changes in the CIA’s Directorship initiated another attempt; this too failed but resulted in the death of Steve Roberts’ wife. Going underground after the murder, they became a mercenary unit for hire. Working out of Singapore, for a gunrunner named Mr Lou they stayed off the radar avoiding the CIA. This continued till roughly 1996, when by mistake, they destroyed an Israeli Bioweapons plant in Turkey. The Israelis, with Intel from the CIA, eliminated Mr Lou’s organisation along with Japanese unit member Sukai. Following this, the unit disbanded going into hiding until 2010. After meeting and falling in love with a young woman named Justine, Steve sought to clear his name and stop running. Contacting Ali, his unit leader, they put together a dangerous plan to stop the Americans and the Israelis hunting them. With the help of the surviving unit members Cody and Aaron, they seized the White House. After negotiations with the Vice President, the siege was covered up and they were allowed to retire in peace. As the unit separated for their journey home, Steve, ever cautious, stayed in America for a short time to make sure that they kept their part of the deal. Feeling finally in the clear, Steve went to the airport for his flight home. It was here that he read that Justine, his girlfriend had been murdered.

Simon is a brilliant young man with a thirst for knowledge. With his aging grandfather, Mike, a hero of the third World War, he seeks to unlock the secrets of an ancient alien device. With an honesty shaped by his naivety, he changes not only the future of the human race, but the surrounding Galaxies as well. Of course the problem with change, as many leaders throughout human history have found, often to their peril, is that not everyone wants too. Unfortunately Simon will learn the hard way, that when you’re facing an enemy, your back is exposed.

Wakening fifty years into the future, Simon and the crew of the Katherine, must again try to stop an unseen enemy. Conflict is everywhere, as Simon once again tries to convince his own race to help him. Confused and often one step behind the enemy in the shadows, the Katherine’s crew for the first time will feel the bitter taste of defeat.
