Excerpt from Chapter 6 of The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1):

….Few knew more about Yamashita’s Gold than Naylor did. His own father had served in the Philippines under General MacArthur and, at the end of World War Two, had witnessed the earliest discoveries of Japan’s massive plunder.

Naylor had also confirmed that the former president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, had obtained much of his personal fortune from later discoveries.

He knew Japan had gained enormous wealth when it invaded China and a dozen or so other Asian countries during the Second World War. The Japanese looted bullion by the truckload.

In addition to the incalculable amounts of gold, gigantic quantities of diamonds, silver and religious artifacts had also been stolen. These colossal treasure troves were shipped to the Philippines in preparation for transportation to Japan. However, as the war in the Pacific intensified, the ever-increasing presence of Allied ships made the transport of such treasure problematic for Japan. As a result, much of it was hidden in the Philippines….

Check out this article on The Ninth Orphan

An orphan grows up to become an assassin for a highly secretive organization. When he tries to break free and live a normal life, he is hunted by his mentor and father figure, and by a female orphan he spent his childhood with. On the run, the mysterious man’s life becomes entwined with his beautiful French-African hostage and a shocking past riddled with the darkest of conspiracies is revealed.

Fast-paced, totally fresh and original, filled with deep and complex characters, The Ninth Orphan is a high-octane thriller with an edge. Merging fact with fiction, it fits the current trend toward stories about shadow organizations rumored to exist in the real world.

Tackling genetic selection, mind control, secret societies and a chase around the globe, The Ninth Orphan has intimate character portraits usually associated with psychological novels. It also has a poignant, romantic sub-plot which means it appeals equally to males and females of all ages.

Kentbridge felt bored as he half-listened to a speech by the US President being televised on a monitor set into the back of the seat in front. Such was Kentbridge’s disdain for politicians, he didn’t even bother to look at the screen.

Contrary to the media circus which portrayed politicians as all-powerful figures, Kentbridge knew from experience the vast majority of US Government officials – elected or otherwise – were puppets who only had the illusion of power. This included Presidents. These public figures all understood the game and were happy to go through the motions, carrying out orders that came from above – from the likes of the Omega Agency – so they could fulfill their own egotistical ambitions.

Although political parties often seemed poles apart, in reality they all bowed to this higher order of power. Kentbridge had long since understood Democrats and Republicans were essentially the same party with different faces and that was why, no matter how many promises each leader made, significant change rarely transpired.

Consequently, Kentbridge had never voted in his life. Certainly there were obvious differences in policies between the various leaders, and an America run by a Bush, an Obama, a Clinton or a Palin, would have distinct contrasts.

Those variables didn’t concern the secret elite rulers, however. As long as the Omega Agency and other clandestine groups ensured each administration sold out on the most lucrative issues – oil, banking, drug trafficking, arms sales – they couldn’t care less whether a political party poured a few more measly bucks into healthcare or schools.

Kentbridge switched the television off and focused his mind on Nine. He hoped the man in Paris was indeed the rogue orphan.

★★★★★  “I finished this book a week ago, and the memory of Susannah and Nathan’s experiences in Fiji are still fresh in my mind. If you’re a fan of adventure, history, even romance, you’ll want to pick up a copy of Fiji: A Novel and brace yourself for the ride. It’s an intense story that will have you turning the pages long into the night.”
Susan M. Heim, author and editor of the bestselling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series

★★★★★ “As a Fijian, I find the old traditions of our people fascinating and just as great as they are crude and gruesome. The novel touches on most of these now extinct practices, in mad detail and it’s AWESOME! … Racial prejudice, religion, culture and family were the underlying messages … The adventure, fast-paced and nail biting … The romance, sizzling, exciting, forbidden … I give it 5 stars because that’s the maximum amount of stars we’re allowed to give.”
Random Writings Book Reviews (Suva, Fiji)

★★★★★ “The extensive research is evident and the plot electrifying” –MyShelf.com
★★★★ “A wonderfully entrancing read” –Joan McGrath (historical author)
★★★★ “You’ll enjoy the voyage this book takes you on” –Have You Heard Book Review
★★★★★ “A fabulous novel, beautiful for its blunt rawness, exotic scenery, and fascinating storyline”
Historical Novel Review

Fiji wasn’t called ‘the Cannibal Isles’ for nothing, and our historical adventure, Fiji: A Novel, doesn’t gloss over the cannibalism that was rife in 19th Century Fiji.

The history books show Fiji was 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 our story is set.

Fiji is a fast-paced adventure-romance about an innocent young Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer who are thrown together in Fiji in the mid-1800’s. It was partly inspired by James A. Michener’s classic novel, Hawaii.

To our knowledge, there has never been a novel that truly does justice to Fiji. Having spent a lot of time in Fiji, I’ve long felt a novel that captures Fiji’s culture, exoticness and beauty is long overdue.

Fiji is now available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback form. We are also developing a feature film adaptation of Fiji through Morcan Motion Pictures.          – Lance
