REVELATION: Book One of THE RECARN CHRONICLES (28 page)

Caitlin liked to imagine
what it would have been like living in those days, conveniently
forgetting the squalor and poverty that many of London’s Victorian
citizens had to suffer. The sanitized version of the age that this
coffee shop represented was so successful that often there were
long queues for tables and for this reason most customers
accompanied their coffee with a pastry or a cake, making the wait
outside more worthwhile.

That day was no different;
the coffee shop was packed with customers, the only spare seat
available being at Caitlin’s table. A balding stockbroker had
vacated it thirty seconds earlier but Caitlin knew that the chair
wouldn’t be available for long. A rather good-looking young man
with golden hair approached her table and rested his hands upon the
chair back.

“Excuse me, miss. May I sit
at your table?”

Caitlin looked up to see the
man smiling effortlessly at her.

“Be my guest.”

The man fixed his piercing
blue eyes on her and held out his hand in a gesture of friendship.
Caitlin returned the gesture, shaking his hand gently.

“Hi. I’m Caitlin
Boone.”

The man smiled
again.

“Well, Caitlin Boone. I’m
very pleased to meet you. My name is Marcus. Marcus
Gallagher.”

The second book
in the series
THE RECARN CHRONICLES

Caitlin Boone has always been a headstrong young woman but
she is finally falling in love. Her new boyfriend seems perfect, a
succesful player in the city, but appearances can be deceptive.
Unbeknownst to her, he is not who - or even what - she
thinks he is.

Such a liaison can only bring trouble and the Boone family’s
world falls apart when Caitlin disappears. Her resistance fighter
sister, Michelle, is forced to decide between jeopardising a
mission and finding her sister.

One Life cannot hope to defeat the Illumination on its
own and is forced to enter an uneasy alliance with a group of rebel
Recarns who want to return the original leader of the
Illuminati to power.

Sometimes it’s necessary to choose between two
evils.

When a post
goes viral on a social network it's usually a good thing;
thousands, perhaps millions, have enjoyed or been positively
affected by what was posted.

Perhaps Carl
should be pleased. He has a philosophy of life that has been posted
on Facebook and Twitter and thousands upon thousands of people have
shared his thoughts. But Carl is a very private person and he
didn't make the post.

Now he has to
deal with the fall out as the world's media seeks to identify
the philosophy's source, a search spearheaded by the sassy and
sexy journalist Natalie. Worse than this, he has awakened the
psychopathic tendencies of John Henry Foster, who is also looking
for him, but with murder in mind. And Carl is oblivious to
either's existence.

Who will find
him first? And more importantly, what will happen when one of his
pursuers 
does
 
find him?
