Mistress Quicksilver, a refined antique dealer, is about to put up for sale a most unusual collection. One of the items attracts many diverse and nasty individuals. She has to protect her merchandise, while managing the marital problems of her friend and the blunders of her teenage son. Fortunately, Quicksilver has more than one trick up her sleeve...
By the year 2120, the world has changed dramatically. Few plants or animals have survived climate change and the human population has dropped to 3 billion. For those who live in the affluent northern region, life is made comfortable by an artificial intelligence called The Gaia Machine. But for people living in the southern region, life is tough. So tough, they must trade their young women as surrogates in exchange for fresh water. Ophelia Alsop, a privileged woman from the United Kingdom, and long-time conscientious objector to the surrogacy trade, takes matters into her own hands by becoming pregnant with her husband. For this, she is punished by the invisible hand of the law in a manner only The Gaia Machine could execute. When she speaks out against the injustice, she is abducted and imprisoned in a bizarre underworld where she discovers the shocking truth behind the surrogacy trade. And so much more. The question is - what's she going to do about it? If you enjoy a dark, dystopian story filled with unpredictable plot twists, this will whet your appetite and leave you wanting more. Fortunately, there are more books in THE GAIA MACHINE series.
Astronaut Frank Borman is all alone on the moon. No ship. Nobody answering his radio calls. His spacesuit is running out of air fast, yet he doesn't know what he's doing there. Something is out there looming over him on the lunar surface. Something massive that doesn't belong. Borman shouldn't be there either — in just a few months Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are due to touch down in the Sea of Tranquility. Meaning this is no NASA mission. But who else has the technological capability? Perhaps that sinister grouping of defence intelligence powerbrokers known as Bermuda, although Borman suspects this is a giant step too far even for them. Which only leaves the Russians. If that's true, he must have an important job to do. A job that transcends Cold War politics and space age rivalry. But everything about this is wrong. Why has he been abandoned? And why can't he remember anything?
