Lance Morcan’s critically acclaimed legal thriller ‘Mr. 100%” is available now as an audiobook courtesy of Amazon’s Audible initiative. (Listening length for this fast-paced novella is 1hr. 32mins.) To listen to Part One, click on “Virtual voice sample” at: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Mr-100/dp/B0FDKWCG98/

‘Mr. 100%’ is the moniker that has been bestowed upon this story’s protagonist, New York defense lawyer Madison Harley – so named because he has never lost a case. Consequently, he is Public Enemy No. 1 in the eyes of the NYPD, the District Attorney’s Office and the media.

It’s 1987 and groundbreaking developments in the field of forensic science sees DNA profiling used for the first time in criminal investigations in America. This has major repercussions for Harley. Estranged from his wife and children, he feels suicidal. Then he meets beautiful prosecution lawyer Kate Marshall. The attraction is immediate – and mutual.

*

 “Once again Lance Morcan proves he is a master weaver of stories. Not only is this a fine story, but it also adds a depth of knowledge about the impact of DNA profiling, a topic which along with omnipresence of surveillance cameras, facial recognition, and other contemporary invasive legal profundities, deserves exploring! Rich in flavor and fine characterizations, this novel is particularly fine. Highly recommended.” –Review by Amazon Hall of Fame reviewer Grady Harp for San Francisco Review of Books

*

For those who prefer the printed word, the paperback version of ‘Mr. 100%’ is available from Harvard Book Store, Waterstones UK & Europe bookstores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and via public libraries.

‘Mr. 100%’ also features alongside four other tales in Morcan’s box set ‘5 Short Story Gems’ which is also available via the above-mentioned outlets and as an audiobook.

‘Debunking Holocaust Denial Theories: Two Non-Jews Affirm the Historicity of the Nazi Genocide’ – co-authored by James & Lance Morcan in liaison with Holocaust survivors – is now available as an audiobook courtesy of Amazon’s Audible initiative. (Listening length 5hrs. 3mins).

Bergen-Belsen concentration camp survivor Hetty E. Verolme kindly wrote the Foreword for this book. To listen to it, click on “Virtual voice sample” at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGZMNSWC/

‘Debunking Holocaust Denial Theories’ is a hard-hitting book that aims to end Holocaust denial once and for all by tackling the bizarre phenomenon head-on.

Written in close consultation with survivors and with WW2 historians, no stone is left unturned in meticulously verifying the historical facts of the genocide. We present a wide array of sources including Nazi documentation, eyewitness accounts, scientific reports and shocking photographic evidence to shut down the debate deniers wish to create.

The Holocaust is shown in this book’s pages to be one of the most well-documented and most historically and forensically-proven crimes of the 20th Century.

★★★★★ “First-rate contribution to an important topic. This book is the result of prodigious research. I recommend to everyone who has an open mind and wishes to learn more.” -Peter Kubicek (Holocaust survivor and author of ‘Memories of Evil: A World War II Childhood’)

★★★★★ “The book is a must read for students of the Holocaust and World War II as well as for deniers or those who are conflicted as to the authenticity of the Holocaust.” -Pam Blevins (Regional Museum Educator at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)

★★★★★ “A brilliant work of detailed, forensic research and analysis … A compendium of irrefutable facts, figures, investigation and evaluation to explain why the Final Solution wasn’t a Jewish-created myth, but a hideous and perpetrated plan to exterminate Jews…” -J-Wire Jewish News Daily

‘ONCE WERE BROTHERS’ novela now available as an audiobook!

Posted: July 4, 2025 in Audiobooks, Once Were Brothers
0

The historical adventure ‘ONCE WERE BROTHERS’, by Lance Morcan, is set in 19th Century New Zealand and is available as an audiobook courtesy of Amazon’s Audible initiative. To listen to the Prologue, click on “Virtual voice sample” at: https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Once-Were-Brothers/dp/B0FDKY8XNY/

The inspiration for this tale was the real-life abduction by Maori of one Caroline “Queenie” Perrett, a young white girl who happened to be one of two identical twins living in New Zealand’s Taranaki district. The girl’s bereft father spent years unsuccessfully searching for his missing daughter. That true story had a happy ending many years later after a chance sighting in Wellington saw the separated twins reunited. It turned out the abducted sister had been raised as a Maori by the tribe that had taken her; she’d had two loving husbands, both Maoris, and had children by them both; she spoke fluent Te Reo Māori and had no desire to return to her previous life.   

In ‘ONCE WERE BROTHERS’ the Thomas family’s lives will never be the same again when seven-year-old Daniel Thomas is abducted from their farm by Maori angered by the desecration of land that is tapu, or sacred. The land contains the bones of their iwi’s ancestors. The culprit, Daniel’s father, devotes his remaining years to searching for his missing blue-eyed, blond-haired son. Until his death a decade later, he’s assisted in his search by Daniel’s identical twin brother Benjamin. Like his father, Benjamin believes Daniel is still alive. Twenty years later and now a family man himself with children of his own, Benjamin receives a tip-off that could confirm one way or another whether his brother is alive or dead.

*

“A heartfelt story of a family that refuses to give up hope. A memorable read, I highly recommend to all.” -Sheri A. Wilkinson (Amazon 5-star Book Reviews)

To listen to the Introduction, click on “Virtual voice sample” at https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Fiji-A-Novel/dp/B0FDL553XB/

By the mid-1800’s, Fiji has become a melting pot of cannibals, warring native tribes, sailors, traders, prostitutes, escaped convicts and all manner of foreign undesirables. It’s in this hostile environment an innocent young Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer find themselves. Susannah Drake, a missionary, questions her calling to spread God’s Word as she’s torn between her spiritual and sexual selves. As her forbidden desires intensify, she turns to the scriptures and prayer to quash the sinful thoughts – without success. Nathan Johnson arrives to trade muskets to the Fijians and immediately finds himself at odds with Susannah. She despises him for introducing the white man’s weapons to the very people she is trying to convert, and he pities her for her naivety. Despite their differences, there’s an undeniable chemistry between them. When their lives are suddenly endangered by marauding cannibals, Susannah and Nathan are forced to rely on each other for their very survival.

‘THE CATCHER IN THE RYE ENIGMA: J.D. Salinger’s Mind Control Triggering Device or a Coincidental Literary Obsession of Criminals?’ is now available as an audiobook courtesy of Amazon’s Audible initiative. (Listening length 2hrs 8mins).

To listen to the Introduction, click on “Virtual voice sample” at https://www.amazon.com/ITEM_NAME/dp/B0F3444CJ8/

In this, Book 4 in ‘The Underground Knowledge Series’, James & Lance Morcan unearth the mysteries surrounding J.D. Salinger’s 1951 novel ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ – arguably the most controversial book of all time.

Nicknamed the ‘Bible of teenage angst’, the classic novel, which is frequently labelled immoral by different groups, has been banned in various parts of America over the decades. However, the main controversy, and indeed the most common reason for it being banned, was that it either inspired or was associated with some of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century.

They’ve carved out a new life for themselves, off the grid, in the remote islands of French Polynesia. The contented couple have a five-year-old son, Francis, who has inherited his father’s unique DNA. Their idyllic lifestyle is shattered when Francis is abducted by operatives in the employ of the Omega Agency, the shadowy organization that brought Nine into the world and once controlled every aspect of his life. The terrified boy with the unique DNA is dispatched to one of Omega’s underground medical laboratories for scientific testing and experimentation. Nine is desperate to find Francis before Omega can harm him. He soon finds he’s up against his fellow orphans – all elite operatives as he once was – who are under orders to kill him on sight.
