Marine: First Sergeant Ed Ryan, an experienced and combat hardened US Marine is nearing the end of his career. Although physically very fit, he has been injured and wounded once too often, leaving him with a knee that is so weak that it makes him a liability under combat pressure. The powers that be deem him medically unfit to continue as a combat NCO. Not enthusiastic over a possible desk job or even training post, his Commanding Officer is sympathetic and does not want to lose a man of his calibre and experience, so he gives Ed a period of extended leave to think through his options.Unbeknown to anyone else except a child counsellor in his past, all his life Ed has struggled with a hidden secret desire. A big man, in a macho world, he has successfully managed his secret desire, but now it threatens the very fabric of his future..This desire always was, and still is to be a woman.He ran away from the desire by enlisting and forcing himself to be the roughest, toughest Marine that ever enlisted. He was entirely successful, as the desire diminished as each day passed and with each new theatre of combat. As fresh physical challenges arose, he met them and overcame whatever the world threw at him. He successfully fought the feeling that he did not belong in his body, but now as that aspect of his life that enabled him to do so is under threat, he is afraid that the feelings will return and take control.Suddenly alone and vulnerable to his demons, he is approached by a mysterious man, who makes him an offer so ludicrous that he had to laugh. But then the man told him about his inner desires, the ones that no one knows about.Ed stopped laughing and listened.The offer: -To be a Special Agent in Time. In a female body of his choiceHe didn’t believe it either, at first.Could he refuse an offer like that?Like hell he could.
Marine 2: A Very Unusual Roman: It is the end of the First century A.D. and the Roman Empire is expanding outwards. The military commander Marcus Ulpius Traianus was adopted by the unpopular Emperor Nerva in a political bid to prevent a revolt by the Praetorian Guard.On Nerva’s death, his adopted son who was popular with the army, was declared Emperor and he took the name – Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus. He became known as Trajan to historians.At the same time this was happening in Rome, the Time Patrol lost an agent in that wet and windy collection of islands called Britannia. The agent was close to locating those responsible for recruiting men who were trained in making a weapon that was not to be seen in warfare for another thousand years or more – the long bow.Not only were they training those who could make the weapon, but also those who could use it. What possible purpose would anyone have to recruit an army of archers before their time?Under Trajan, Romans would see the expansion of the Empire to its maximum extent, but what would happen to the Roman Empire, and later the Roman Catholic Church, if the Empire was defeated in the first few years of the second century?The implications for Western civilisation were dire, so another agent was despatched to locate those responsible for the first man’s death and for getting to the root of the problem, and then dealing with it.That agent is Sergeant Edward Ryan, USMC, only for the second time he chooses to go as someone they’d least suspect.This is a time when women are little more than slaves, so the unknown enemy would never suspect a female adversary, and one from some obscure British Tribe that is in the middle of a battle with the Romans themselves.
Marine 3: Island of Dreams: This, the third in the series, introduces us to more characters, one of whom we will see a lot more of in future books. However, just in case you haven’t read the previous two books, this one takes place upon Ed’s return from his second mission into the past. (See – Marine 1: Agent of Time & Marine 2: A very Unusual Roman)Ed, a senior US Marine Sergeant has been told by a US Navy doctor that his active days are over, as his knee replacement is just not up to the task of an active service Marine. Having been given special leave by his Commanding Officer, Ed is on way to meet up with an old Marine buddy who is running a charter boat out of Florida. The charter is of a British scientific expedition to a remote island upon which some natives have been discovered who have been out of contact with the rest of the world for at least two centuries. Believed to be the descendents of a wrecked slave ship, the scientists seek to identify from where they originated by studying their language.Ed never got there, as he was targeted and recruited into a mysterious Time Corps, dedicated to patrolling the streams of time and preventing illegal interference with the time line.He finds himself propelled into the past at the time of the Napoleonic wars, as a woman. No sooner does he return from that one when he sets off once more to the old days of the Roman Empire.However, after returning from his last successful assignment in the beginning of the second century AD, Ed is now allowed to carry on with his life and to actually take a well-earned vacation.It turns out that a vacation is not going to happen, as the natives have a single racial memory of the men with white skins – that of the slavers who stole their ancestors all those years ago. Combine that with the news that a hurricane is on its way to the island mean that Ed is about to have to deal with a lot more than he initially expected.However, Ed, and his new friends discover a lot more to the islanders’ history and culture than they anticipated. Some of which have the ability to change lives –is it for the better?You decide!
