Imagine you surface after a dive, having expended all your air, and the boat you expected to be waiting for you is nowhere to be seen. A sudden storm has blown up; the sea is rough and the sky is filled with black swirling cloud. You know you are twelve miles from the nearest land, but which way does it lie?
East Africa, 1981: The British destroyer HMS Preston puts into Mombasa following three months on Gulf Patrol with her company all fired up to explore the local delights. But when Petty Officer Patrick Redman accepts an invitation to a weekend party on a South Coast beach, he can hardly suspect what disastrous and far-reaching outcomes await him. Patrick quickly discovers his ordered naval life has done nothing to prepare him for the perils he faces.
The Eye of Saba is a gripping, fast-moving tale that hurls you headlong from stormy seas and fascinating naval intrigue into personal disaster, homelessness and loss of self esteem.

The Missing Centuries
of Joseph Horne
(1739 - 1952)
A great adventure with wide audience appeal. This is a book I could read over and over again without getting bored also one I will be recommending to friends who I know will enjoy it just as much.
A Stunning Read. The storyline was brilliant, I loved how every detail was described.
Thoroughly Engaging! I fell in love with the characters, Joey especially. They were brilliantly thought out and I really would love to read more on them.
Miami, Florida, 1952: A naked Englishman is found unconscious outside the US Embassy in Haiti. On waking, he claims to have set sail from England with his parents … two centuries ago! For psychologist Dani Corby, it is a straightforward case of Paranoid Disorder. But her credulity is challenged when, under hypnosis, the young man's extraordinary tale comes to light. The enigma deepens when a strange old crone hounds Dani with dire prophesies about her patient. When the patient falls to a mysterious illness, Dani sets out on a dangerous mission to save his life.
A thought-provoking tale of pirates, mythology, and magic. This story will keep you turning pages far into the night, and its paradoxical conclusion will have you thinking long after you’ve closed the book.
