SEMI-FINALIST – KINDLE BOOK REVIEW AWARDS 2020

From the author of a bestselling saga comes a multi-award-winning Sci-Fi Fantasy epic!

Enlightened. Enslaved. Erased.
Earth, 50,000 years ago before the magic vanished. Invaded by aliens posing as gods, advanced civilisations crumbled. Now, these powerful off-worlders war for control of the planet, and the people who remain no longer remember what they once were. Seduced then enslaved, humanity has fallen.

Beneath the destroyed remains of an ancient temple, Thaya discovers a relic and a scroll written by the last of an advanced civilisation. The scroll contains a message and a vision of a forgotten world. The relic unlocks a memory about her own past that she should not have forgotten. The truth sets her free but it comes at a great cost, and now she must flee.

In the ashes of her ancestors, Thaya fights to stay alive, but hers is not the only race beleaguered, and her survival is inextricably tied to the fate of an other-worldly being. In a journey that takes her to different times, alien worlds and across dimensions, Thaya must lose everything to find her own salvation.

Lost civilisations. Alien invasions. Humanity enslaved. Gryphons. Unicorns. Magic… In FARSEEKER, Epic Fantasy meets Sci-Fi and takes us on an incredible race through time and across worlds.

Here’s the set-up:

“Noel Hynd knows the ins and outs of Washington’s agencies, both public and private.” – Publishers Weekly.

“(Hynd is)…a few notches above the Ludlums and Clancys of the world.” – Booklist.

‘Eisenhower’s Spy’ is Noel Hynd’s tough hard-hitting sequel to ‘Truman’s Spy’. It is a major new work of action and espionage from the author of ‘Flowers From Berlin’ and ‘Return to Berlin.’

It is late in the second term of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ike personally enlists F.B.I. Special Agent Thomas Buchanan (the central character of Hynd’s ‘Truman’s Spy’) for a top secret assignment independent of the FBI and CIA.

To some, America of the 1950’s was a bright, optimistic and prosperous place. But in ‘Eisenhower’s Spy’ a deeper reality smolders beneath the surface. The decade had begun with two wars: a bloody conflict in Korea that stalemated in 1953 and a global cold war that would intensify through the decade.

Berlin, Madrid and Havana were flash points of conflict and potential sparks for another world war. Revolutionary ferment was as close as ninety miles south of Florida as Fidel Castro’s revolutionary army crept increasingly closer to mobbed-up Havana.

‘Eisenhower’s Spy’ is a spy story that buzzes with the energy of numerous intrigues, love affairs, memorable characters, remorseless criminality and quirks of fate set across a dark set of years in the middle of the Twentieth Century. ‘Eisenhower’s Spy’ will underscore the critics’ lofty assessment of Noel Hynd’s unique way with a tough hard-hitting spy novel: a full cast of memorable people, romance, uncompromising historical accuracy and heart pounding suspense.

The millions of readers of Noel Hynd’s previous novels will not be disappointed.

She becomes aware of the silence at the other end of the line. A prickling sensation crawls up her arms. Her heart speeds up. ‘Found who?’ she asks, slowly, carefully, deliberately.
‘They found Daniel.’

Six years ago

Megan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found. Her darling son is missing.

Six years later

After years of sleepless nights and endless days of missing her son, Megan finally gets the call she has been dreaming about. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away.

Megan is overjoyed – her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel’s room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Lego under the bed, in perfect shape to welcome him back. But when he returns, there is something different about Daniel…

According to the police, Daniel was kidnapped by his father. After his dad died in a fire, Daniel was finally able to escape. Desperate to find out the truth, Megan tries to talk to her little boy – but he barely answers her questions. Longing to help him heal, Megan tries everything – his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed – but still, Daniel is distant.

And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that there is more to the story. Soon, she fears that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family…

A heartbreaking, emotional and poignant drama about a family in turmoil. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Linda Green – this moving novel is for you.
