The only hope of salvation lay in a cure derived from the flora of a primitive planet in the Orion System - eighty light years distant. It all began on Balan - a planet at war, and also facing its own apocalypse - hundreds of years in Darelius' past...Neal James is a UK author of crime fiction.

It has nothing to do with Christmas - Christmas is a time of good cheer, and there's nothing like that in any of the chapters which you are about to read. It is nothing to do with the Christmas song. There are no gifts being handed around - only tragedy, heartbreak, and disappointment feature within the lives of a number of players in the dramas which unfold before your eyes. Set in the industrial areas of Amber Valley, Derby and Nottingham, 'Twelve Days' peers into the secrets of some of its inhabitants, taking you on a journey through their lives and sharing with you all of the emotions which they face as the stories progress. Not for the faint-hearted, be ready for murder, witchcraft, embezzlement and a touch of the paranormal as the book takes you into the murky world of crime.

Joe Bridger's time was up; he was on death row in Rikers Island and his only solace was setting a puzzle for Detective Clancy Sullivan to solve. The poems in his diary were the keys to the missing bodies, but would she become just one more to add to the list? Running his own business had long been an ambition of Tom Blessed, and when Grant Masefield, his boss, gave him his chance he grabbed it with both hands. His rise was meteoric and he took pride in what he was achieving. That pride came with some terrible consequences. Evelyn and her husband, Ad, were deliriously happy in their little cottage with its beautiful garden - everything seemed to be coming up roses. However, once Mazikeen made his appearance, the naked truth about their circumstances became all too apparent. Marcel DuPont was a very happy young man. He had the career that he had always wanted, a boss who was more than willing to give him his head, and a beautiful girl, Nicole Fournier, on his arm. It wasn't until the evening before his wedding that he realised that things were not as they had seemed to be.
