Produktbeschreibung

Sam and Richard stepped out of the lift. The corridors of the complex looked like a body-littered obstacle course. The walls and floors stained red with the blood of her victims. Where had her strength come from? It was the worst carnage the Triplets had dealt with to-date. How could one woman cause so much destruction and why? The medical lab was dark. With the beams from their torches, James and Gary searched for survivors. James sensed Candice was in there somewhere. Broken glass and debris hindered him, but it was the body he fell over that made his heart stop. GW Forrest has changed, and not for the better. What hidden force fed his new persona? Who exactly was he, and why wouldn't he stay dead? In Chichen Itza, under Forrest's employ, José Vasquez and his brother Pedro headed a large archaeology team searching for a back entrance to Ian and Andrew's time tomb. Why hadn't they used the same entrance as Ian and Andrew? What secrets did the Mayan tomb hold that had prompted Forrest to leave his 'beloved' wife, Comtesse D'Vincent with less than the bare essentials, in a hotel in Phoenix, Arizona? With nowhere to turn, Comtesse D'Vincent called upon the code of The Order. Who answered her call, and why had they been so amused at her predicament? Of the large team that had gone inside the pyramid, only two were still standing, trapped and left for dead. Upon sight of him, the two men had bowed before Jared as though he were a god. Why? Was it because they believed he was a monster like the Others? What did the Dine'é Yá show Sam that changed his entire outlook on life? Who is Elle and what did she have to do with Sam and Juanita? Why had Sam been willing to undergo excruciating pain for Elle? Because of what had happened in the pyramid, would Sam lose his dancing aqua eyes? A man from the other side returned with a cryptic message for Rich. What was it and what did it mean? Gary and Sarabeth had been there with Rich. Who was the messenger, and why had Rich been the only person allowed to see him?

Autorenporträt

We started the 'A Vested Interest' series in 2007 and it took over a year before I came up with an ending we were happy with. At 170,000 words A Vested Interest was too long though for a printed book. We cut it heavily but still ended with a 140,000 word book. There was no alternative, we had to split it into a two book series. Doing that, we thought, would allow us to put back some of the content we had cut and expand the second book (Dark Secrets) a little.
Well that was the plan. We ended up splitting the second book and making a trilogy by adding 'No Secrets'. The original ending didn't quite fit now so we moved it into a fourth book - Stones, Stars and Solutions.
And so it goes on. We are now writing book 10 and 11 of the series. Shelia has written a spin-off 'Blood of the Rainbow' trilogy. Altogether it's 2 million words so far! In terms of time, we've only covered a few months. There is an end in sight but not for another 5,000 years. Maybe I'll get to use my original ending then?

About the Authors
John and Shelia Chapman are a husband and wife team who met on Internet and crossed the Atlantic to be together. John, an English ex-science and computer teacher contributed the technology and 'nasty' bits while Shelia drew on her medical experience in the USA and produced the romance. The humour? That came from real life.
