Book One of the Fallen Lands Trilogy
by Patrick Park-Tighe
With a single, desperate cut of the knife, naïve and reckless Cat Calhoun finds himself forced into an unfamiliar landscape of intrigue and danger. Caught between a murderous giant and a hardly helpless pirate girl, Cat's split second decision leaves him adrift in the Fallen Land's shadowy world of sea-robbers, madmen and cutthroats--a place where politics and prophecies collide. Now, the further he travels from the mundane comforts of home, the deeper the mystery grows around the untested farm boy and the Shadow staining the land from Sturmgard to the Summer Coast and beyond. The Fallen Lands Trilogy can be described as a coming-of-age story where love and loss shape characters and destinies. Unique to this series is the role of the Archtypes. In the books' mythology, the Archtypes are the physical embodiment of the familiar elements driving modern narratives. The Hero, Shadow, Oracle and Trickster are all at play, struggling to understand their purpose and place, while caught between free will and pre-destination.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2014Meeting With Aoratos
Revelations of a God
by Howard Baker
Aoratos is an old friend, an illuminating energy which arrives without warning. It can be male or female, if such an impression is necessary, or androgynous when gender is immaterial. These visitations occur during or immediately after meditation, or more usually when least expected, during work or some other relaxed state when the mind is productively occupied. Sometimes it arrives within the body of a fellow human being, distinct and separate from the resident soul, and speaks through that person, and sometimes it makes an appearance during dreams, although the latter is by far the rarest and sometimes incomprehensible. This work has evolved as a result of several visitations experienced during a period of fairly intense work among friends and acquaintances and while writing not only for myself but for national publications specialising in the field of MBS (mind, body, spirit). The message which came through loud and clear was that much on offer to the general public was not only misleading but dangerous insofar as the methods targeting those desirous of spiritual self-improvement could in fact be destabilising to some of the more sensitive types among us. Some claims were outrageously misleading while others were quite simply nonsense. Worth remembering is that meddlers in matters of spirit are subject to the laws of Karmic return, that any ‘work’ they do is ultimately subjective. The messages that subsequently came through from Aoratos were succinct and often surprising, and I was instructed to weave them into a parable, or light-hearted fictional essay of my own invention to make the work eminently readable to the general public while offering a flow of real energy and a raise in frequency to those on a reciprocal wavelength.

FictionAugust 2014Ramseyer's Ghost
by Manu Herbstein
Ramseyer’s Ghost is a stand-alone dystopian/utopian political novel set in West Africa in 2050. The global village has disintegrated. The Atlantic Ocean has become an American sea. West Africa has become a desert of failed states and anarchy, dotted with mines and oil rigs, stockaded and armed by U. S. corporations. The Americans dispatch expeditions of geologists and mining engineers into the dangerous interior of the Dark Continent to search for untapped resources. One such expedition has gone missing. Ekem “Crash” Ferguson, born in the U.S. in 2008 of African parents and abandoned to the care of foster parents, is a Captain in the Marine Corps. His career blocked and his marriage failing, he accepts an offer to proceed to Ghana on a one-man mission to find the missing experts. He suspects that his supervising officer, Bud Power, is having an affair with this wife. His arrival in Africa is inauspicious: in a shack amongst the coconut palms he comes across two human skeletons. A boy guides him to a coastal village. He tells the chief that he has come to Ghana to search for his natural parents. The chief welcomes him and delegates fisherman Kofi Kom to accompany him to Kumase, the Asante capital, 120 miles up-country. In Kumase, Crash goes to the stadium at dead of night to await the arrival of the three Thunderbirds, each carrying an armoured vehicle that will take the rescue party to the Fort. As the Thunderbirds touch down, they are blown up. Crash survives and is arrested. Anokye, the Asante king’s first minister, interrogates Crash. He is put on trial and convicted but Anokye intervenes to save him from execution. As part of his sentence, Crash travels the country as a movie about the abortive invasion is screened in one village after another. He is impressed by what he perceives as a unique social experiment, led by Anokye, an attempt to build a decent, viable society in an economy barely above subsistence level. After a year, Crash has completed his sentence and is permitted to return to the U.S. Anokye, now retired, accompanies him to the coastal village at which Crash arrived. There Anokye reveals to him that they are brothers and that the skeletons Crash found on his arrival are those of their parents. After burying his parents’ remains, Crash arranges a passage to New York in a passing oil tanker. As soon as he rings his doorbell, Millicent phones the Marines and Crash is arrested. He is charged with treason, tried and subsequently executed. Bud abandons Millicent. Years later, after he has graduated from college, Crash’s son Fergus questions his mother about his late father. She refuses to talk. He gets a job as a cleaner in the Marine archives, “borrows” his father’s file and publishes the contents in the public domain. When the authorities start looking for him, he is already on his way to Africa, where he hopes to find his Uncle Anokye.
