Exile continues the story of The Nationalists as Tony McAnthony, the journalist, settles into his new life in America and the timeline advances through the roaring twenties, the thirties, the war years, and the Kennedy years in the sixties and seventies.
Many of the characters that appeared in The Nationalists will also play a role in this new work, in particular, that of Pairic O’Toole who left soldiering behind to become a Franciscan and who finds himself incarcerated in Auschwitz during the war years.
New characters are also introduced like Big Emily, a teacher in the US with a new vision for education but who finds herself thwarted by the effects of the Depression.
Exile is a story about the Irish people, but not exclusively so, and paves the way for the third book in this trilogy: The Irish Diaspora.

A descendant of the fabled Children of Lir, twelve-year-old Larry Lir has a curse hanging over him from that period of Irish history. The secret of how to dispense with the curse is lost because Lir is an orphan, and only his father could have told him how to lift the ancient curse that hangs over male heirs.
Some claim that Lir is older than his years, and others whisper that he has dark, black magical powers. Whatever the truth of that, he continues to work in the PI Agency that his parents bequeathed to him.
When three Cuban orphans appeal to Lir for help, he finds things in common with them, and he takes their case pro bono.
In doing so, he has set himself up for a battle of wills against Da Silva and his gang of foreign agents, a battle that will bring about the ultimate betrayal, and it will transpire that the ruthless Da Silva is also an orphan.
Set for the most part in Ireland can Lir’s ingenuity can win the day in a story that carries important messages about basic press freedoms and human rights.
The book shows the independent spirit that dwells within children and the battle of triumph over evil.

Ten years after the crucifixion of Jesus, Rome awakens to the threat of Christianity and appoints Marc Procus, a renowned Vigilis, to investigate the new movement and to quiz anyone remotely connected to it, including Pontius Pilate.
Hauled from examining the cold case of Julius Caesar, Marc Procus has been summoned and tasked with tracking down all leading elements of the new Christianity movement, which has been spreading its tentacles all over the known world.
Procus embarks on a series of perilous sea journeys throughout the Mediterranean – an area known to the Romans as Mare Nostrum. Our sea.
On the Greek island of Crete, he encounters his first Christian family and is humbled by their simple way of life. His next port of call brings him into conflict with Pontius Pilate, the stubborn ex-governor of Judea responsible for the death of Jesus Christ.
His travels then take him to Jerusalem, where once again he finds himself humbled by the new religion. As the story develops, Procus finds himself on the verge of betraying Rome.
Meanwhile, in Rome, plots are afoot to depose the emperor and establish a new rule. Alerted by the betrayal of Procus, the life of his wife and children becomes precarious, and suddenly they are in danger.
Can Procus get back to Italy in time to save his family?

Darerca is the sister of Saint Patrick and a holy woman in her own right.
It’s said that she married twice and that her seventeen sons became bishops, and that her daughters also followed saintly paths. The tale opens in the late 4th century before sweeping into the 5th and closing in the 6th just as the monasteries were growing stronger.
The story is an expansion of my earlier work ‘Paddy’ and indeed may incorporate that fine work.
A tale of early Ireland.

Mano. There’s a new cop in Hawaii, and he doesn’t take prisoners.
This is the tagline which I’ve used for Mano, a tough cop in Hawaii whose brief includes keeping terrorism out of Hawaii.
The tale is a post-9/11 piece and concerns the hunt for an ISIS terrorist cell intent on carrying out a dirty bomb attack on the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbour. The group is led by the fanatical Hakim, a Saudi terrorist who used to work as an executioner in his home country. When he finds out that there is a tough cop called Mano out to stop him, he makes a near-fatal error of judgment by ordering a hit on one of Hawaii’s top cops – a move that will bring in the FBI and Homeland Security – and makes Mano aware of the threat against him.
Mano is already a marked man because of his previous undercover work on the Chinese triads. His security detail has always been aware of threats made against him and is constantly in a heightened state of alert anyway. Mano has the cream of HPD already working within his squad, besides his security detail, experienced cops like The Seeker, Nui, and Pono. Together, they form a formidable team that Hakim will have trouble overcoming.
The story carries a lot of pace and action, and strong characterisation, which ultimately will propel the story forward to a nail-biting conclusion.
