Genre: Fiction > Historical Fiction
1. Red Sky Over Dartmoor
Marc Bergeron is a Canadian artillery captain with a secret, and he just can’t keep out of trouble!
One morning in 1920, in a sleepy Devonshire village, three ex-soldiers meet beneath a striking and vividly red sky. One of them is soon to die. Flash back to war-torn France and there begins a complex narrative of cowardice and heroism; murder and retribution.
Red Sky is a fast-moving action thriller and murder mystery, combined. It introduces Marc Bergeron together with his gritty sidekick, Bombardier Ryan, a wiry Irishman with a reputation for fist fighting and deadly accuracy with a Mauser pistol. The story takes place in a vividly imagined recreation of post-war Devon, set against the backcloth of historically accurate and precisely described military action during the last year of the Great War. Throughout the book the action is fast and sweaty, the plot mysterious and tense, whilst the history is meticulously researched and complemented by endnotes that separate fact from fiction.
2. The Road to Enniskean
Doncha Ryan,a WW1 veteran hardly out of his teens, returns to Ireland where he soon becomes embroiled in the struggle for Irish independence. Amid the ambushes, assassinations and executions which seem to dominate his life, Ryan resumes his relationship with his teenage love, Molly Walsh.
But Ryan is concealing a secret: his determination to track down and confront the evil, unscrupulous Howard Wadham, an English army officer leading a terror squad. When his wartime comrade Marc Bergeron, and the Latvian revolutionary Moti Levits, arrive in Ireland the scene is set for a showdown, on the road to Enniskean.
The Road to Enniskean is an action-packed historical adventure, in which fictional characters live and breathe alongside historical characters from the period, including Tom Barry and Michael Collins.
