Trance State
Don’t let them inside your head. Don’t let them play their mind games with you. . They’re merciless. And they’ll kill to win...
The Swiss-based Institute of Global Studies seems like the kind of philanthropic organisation any idealistic young scientist would want to work for. But when Lew McBride gets involved with them, his life takes a horrific turn...
Something terrible is happening in Adrienne Cope’s life, too. Her sister has died in mysterious circumstances. The only clues are locked away in a psychiatrist’s files. But when Adrienne investigates, she discovers that there is no official record that the psychiatrist ever existed...
What is the link between Lew McBride, Adrienne Cope, the psychiatrist and the Institute? What is it that takes Lew and Adrienne on a terrifying chase across the United States and Europe with violent killers on their trail? And why should the CIA get involved?
Trance State is the spellbinding new thriller from the author of the international bestsellers The Genesis Code and The First Horseman. Chilling in its authenticity, relentless in its pace, it is a novel that will have you praying that it’s only fiction.

The First Horseman
"Deer: Everyone gets flu. That's the thing about it. You can't control it. So if you use it as a weapon… you'd kill millions."
In the Book of Revelations, the Four Horsemen herald the arrival of the Apocalypse. When the First Horseman thunders forth, pestilence will spread throughout the land.
For the First Horseman is plague.
Why is a disease-ravaged village in North Korea razed to the ground, its inhabitants massacred by the army?
Who are the shadowy terrorists willing to unleash epidemic and death on an unsuspecting world?
What is the deadly treasure that has been ransacked from 80-year-old tombs in the Arctic Circle before an American scientific expedition can investigate their secrets?
The Spanish Flu killed 30 million people worldwide in 1918. Now, with history threatening to repeat itself, a scientific expedition speeds toward a remote island in the Arctic Sea to recover strains of the lethal virus preserved under layers of ice.
For reporter Frank Daly this is the story of a lifetime. Yet the more he uncovers, the more dangerous the stakes become. Until at last he comes face to face with a shocking secret, pitching him into a harrowing race to prevent nothing less than...apocalypse.
