Humanity had been at war with Humanity for fifty years when a greater threat, in the form of the Shi-az-ee, came along. The Shi-az-ee blamed Humanity for an atrocity that they did not commit, and embarked on a holy war, vowing to destroy them all. Due to public pressure in both systems of humanity, the war between them came to an end, and the combined fleets turned their attention to the Shi-az-ee. But hidden in an unlikely place, lurked the true enemy, waiting and watching, and seeking its revenge.

When the body of the British Home Secretary's son is found in an alleyway where he had been battered to death, Larry Dexxman, a seventy-five year old private detective is thrown into the middle of a political minefield that could easily cost him his life. His only protection is Sally, a tiny Shih-tsu/Yorkshire terrier cross, Penny his twenty-four-year-old assistant and his own combat experience gained in the armed forces fifty years ago. Narrowly surviving several attempts on his life, Larry must try to protect those around him while, at the same time, keeping his promise to the murdered boy's girlfriend that he would find out who was responsible and see that they are brought to justice. When the Director General of MI6 is murdered, his daughter Hayley fears for her own safety, and turns to Larry and Penny as the only people that she can trust.

A phone call in the middle of the night alerted Larry Dexxman to the death of his wife Penny s friend Stella. It seemed to be a simple mugging, but what should have been a straight forward investigation turns major when the bodies start to pile up. Initial enquiries reveal that Stella s past, and her present, were shrouded in mystery, and when the frequent trips that she took before her death lead to the Department of Work and Pensions whose office in London is unaccountably destroyed in an explosion, the puzzle deepens. The investigation moves to Stella s last employer, Bytesize Systems Ltd, who were contracted to develop an AI solution for the DWP, but before any progress can be made, the owner is brutally murdered in a hit and run. Larry, despairing that he will ever get a handle on the puzzle is not as surprised as he should have been when the whole thing is brought to a head by his home being invaded by armed intruders.

Rear Admiral Gale Harkness s ship, the Argos, under the command of Captain Bernice O Reilly is despatched on a mission to discover the fate of two remote outposts of humanity that have gone silent. To discover that both colonies have been totally obliterated, with the exception of one young girl, is a shock in itself, but when Gale and her crew are assaulted by hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes that seem to have no basis in nature, she has to ask whether an alien intelligence is involved. The sudden appearance of a myth used by the Shi-az-ee to frighten their children, causes an almost fatal shock to humanity s newest ally, leaving the humans as the only possible defence against a race that seems to be intent on exterminating all other intelligent lifeforms.

The passenger liner the Star Queen, suffered mysterious damage to its jump engines and emerged from hyperspace, close to the sun, at half-light speed on a collision course with Earth. Distress signals were sent out as the ship scorched into the Earth's atmosphere to explode devastatingly just before impact. 600 years later, and 600 light years away, the distress call is intercepted by a warship of Her Majesty's Star Fleet. The distress call is a radio signal, presumably because of an FTL coms failure, and it is soon realised that its origin is the start of the twentieth century, before space travel was discovered.

When the truth is revealed, and the extent of the criminal activity becomes known, Larry risks all to protect those around him, and bring the perpetrators to Justice.

It all started when Larry Dexxman received a letter more than twenty years late, which cast doubt upon the official verdict of accidental death on two employees of a legal company, one of which was Larry's former wife. Several attempts on Larry's life, when there is no discernible reason for them, drag him ever further into a web of lies and deceit. It seems to involve espionage, and is believed to be centred on the law firm of Parkes and Parkes, until links back to a former adversary are found. All of the main suspects are already dead, so his attention is inexorably drawn back to the law firm. The action moves into one of the many deserted tunnels in London, where a shocking scenario unfolds, leaving Larry embittered, stunned, and confused. Finally things come to a head, leaving Larry and his colleagues trapped by two people consumed with the desire to see them dead in the slowest and most painful way possible. Now, the only
