Commander Tony Romella takes a small team on what is expected to be a routine one month trip to Casablanca, Morocco.

One unexpected event leads to another. Things get dicey, with life threatening situations, shots fired and dead bodies.

Commodore Daniel Mercer commands a fleet that should not exist in 218 BCE. Around him are modern warships, Marines, aircraft, drones, engineers, doctors, and enough firepower to shatter any ancient navy. But every ...

But although time travel is one of my favourite narrative tools, it is only one corner of the world I write in. My ...
