I just made Insurrection - Book 3 of Warner's World - available for Pre-order on Amazon. It will go on sale on 26 January 2016.

Insurrection sees Dave Warner assigned to command a new ship, the Resolute. He is tasked to sow the seeds of insurrection in the rogan empire and weaken it from within. While his ship is being constructed he finally gets time to marry Rihan Kabel. But their bliss is short lived as the rogan prove more than capable of practicing the dark arts.

New tech, new threats and new love are all thrown into the pot. The challenge is holding true to your principles when everyone around you is quite prepared to jettison theirs. How far will Dave Warner and his crew go to prevail?

I have also submitted the final copy for Redemption to Amazon. It will definitely go on sale on 11 November.

I have been polishing the second book in the Warner's World series. It's called Redemption. It follows on from the end of book one. Dave Warner is on a new mission to seek peace with the Sleth if he can but to prosecute war if he must. The trouble is his best friend, Art Simons, is on his own mission to rescue his fiancé, Sue Walker, and he's prepared to do whatever it takes.

In this book I explore the themes of loyalty and friendship and how they can sometimes run counter to the needs of the greater good. When is it justified to put the interests of a few over those of the many? The book also examines the consequences when things go wrong and you have to atone for your decisions.

Dave learns that the role of the commander can come at a heavy price. It's his moral code, sense of duty, spiritual path and the love of his beloved Rihan that sustain him. Art Simons also must pay the price for his actions. While he struggles to accept the conditions imposed on him, his drive and determination and the willingness to grasp opportunity when it knocks thrust him back into the spy game. His discoveries will set the scene for a dramatic show down in the Orion sector and provide Dave and the crew of the Hermes the opportunity for redemption.

I introduce some new and interesting characters. I am particularly fond of the urbane Kyle Bane. He's a baddy of course but one not without some charm. I also get to craft some interesting alien characters. I'm not going to say any more about these at this stage as this would give away too much.

With each new book I introduce new equipment and craft. We go up a gear with exposure to capital ships and we'll be exploring a few new technologies.

It's now two weeks out from the release of The Awakening. I have a second customer review and its positive, which is nice.  I'm getting some pre-orders for Redemption, Book 2 of Warner's World. This is scheduled for release on 11 November.

I've been very busy at the moment on the games front. Our latest Command Ops module, Westwall, should come out in the next few days. We also have another module coming out next month. It's called Knock on All Doors. If historical wargames are your thing then check out our Command Ops series.

Also, hopefully the new version of my historical board wargame 'Trial of Strength' will be released before Xmas. So with the release of Redemption I have four new products coming out. That promises to be a busy time. But I am making time to work on Bernie's Crusade, which I mentioned in an earlier blog post.
