Book Description
In 24 hours, the world as we know it will end… A 26,000 year cycle of gigantic solar storms is about to begin. The size and destructive power of these storms will eclipse anything in recorded history by an order of magnitude. The monster magnetic pulses that accompany these massive solar storms have already begun to overwhelm the magnetic field of the Earth; causing it to fall so far in strength, it’s effectively gone in places. Intense radiation and charged particles from the first wave of solar storms have already begun the irreversible destruction of almost all the LEO satellites in orbit. Now the debris is causing dangerous interference with electronic devices on the ground. As the consequences of the first stages of the coming deadly storms begin to create a complex web of intrigue and action, a mysterious and ancient artifact, which is somehow connected to the solar cycles, manages to become more of a threat to the future of mankind than the impending disaster. A high-speed adrenaline filled series of events unfold leading to non-stop action in a race against the clock to save mankind. The Wrath of the Invisible Sword is the sequel to the exciting and action filled, The Empty Eggs of Burning Light. The fourth book in the epic sci-fi Ancients of Earth Series starts at the exact scene the last novel ended. But now there are only 24 hours left before the killer storms arrive to decimate the planet. Events countdown hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute as the action ratchets up in intensity, and the pace will leave you breathless at the end of each chapter. This is an intelligent story that will make you think long after you stop reading with characters that you can’t get out of your mind. The problem will be that you can’t put it down. Every book has been better than the last, and the heart-pounding action in this installment doesn’t stop; it barely slows down. And it all leads up to a cliff-hanger ending that will leave sci-fi readers shocked with their mouths hanging open. Then they’ll start screaming for the next book. ~97k words

Book Description
1612: Matthew Edgworth is a man on the margins, a trickster on the inside and the outside of society. But this hardened rogue is shaken by his encounters with the occult and challenged by his dealings with four powerful women, each of whom in very different ways forces him into a journey of radical self-discovery. Matthew is employed by Viscount Rochester as a spy and a fixer, and to enable his master’s affair with Frances Howard. But a servant with a store of secrets is a dangerous threat. When Frances seems impressed by his unusual skills, Matthew imagines that he can work for them both – until he realises that Frances is as ruthless as he is. But by then he’s trapped in a scandalous intrigue that goes to the heart of the Jacobean court, and he’ll be hanged for murder, unless he can succeed in one final deadly deception. The Invisible Exchange is a dangerous and darkly humorous view from the Jacobean underworld of one of the great scandals of the Jacobean age: Frances Howard’s affair with Viscount Rochester and the strange murder of Sir Thomas Overbury whilst a prisoner in the Tower of London. The evocation of every layer of London life – from its taverns and brothels, gambling dens and prisons to the grand houses and palaces of the court and the aristocracy – is vivid and compelling.

Book Description
John Kirk of Ares -- a hero very much in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' interplanetary romances -- returns in the second book in the series! PRAISE FOR BOOK 1: "It’s been nearly a century since Edgar Rice Burroughs first enchanted readers with his tales of John Carter and Dejah Thoris on the planet Barsoom. Since then, generations of writers have tried to recapture Burroughs' magic: from Otis Adelbert Kline and Robert E. Howard to Leigh Brackett, Lin Carter, Andre Norton and a hundred more. Gary Lovisi adds his name to the list with The Winged Men, a marvelous romp that updates ERB’s Confederate vet to Jon Kirk, an American apparently killed in Vietnam only to find himself miraculously transported to the planet Ares. Jon Kirk's adventures among beautiful women, barbarous men and cannibalistic aliens demonstrates all the heart of a true lover of the interplanetary romance, and will surely delight readers with a yearning to escape the stress of modern civilization and travel to a world of action, intrigue, gallantry and romance." -- Richard A. Lupoff, Author of "Barsoom: Edgar Rice Burroughs and the Martian Vision" "I very much enjoyed this book. In my view, as intended, it has Burroughs’ vividness, look, sound, sentiment, honesty, directness, sweep, vigor, and appeal, but there is Lovisi in there, too. It is a fresh country in its own right, and certainly one that ERB, and those fond of ERB, like myself, would recognize, find familiar, welcome and relish. I bet ERB would have liked it, too." -- John Norman, creator of Tarl Cabot and the famous Gor books series.
