Chameleon, The Terror Begins
Black, Chris
Fear has many faces
Kurt the "Chameleon" continues his quest to destroy the Nazis. Nobody suspects him as being the mysterious marksman during the Bavarian Affair. He’s now a man who lives by the law of the gun.
Hitler is summoned to von Hindenburg’s country estate and ordered to either curtail Ernst Röhm and the SA, or he will be sacked as chancellor and replaced by a military panel, Hitler must choose between power and killing a friend…
As the infamous Night of the Long Knives unfurls, Kurt is deep in treason and retribution, as well as dealing with his personal secrets and demons.
From review: "Chameleon is well-paced and keeps the readers on their toes as to what will happen next. Chapter’s end on cliffhangers keeping readers on tenterhooks. The suspense, espionage, plot twists and subterfuge are skillfully implemented, completely entrenching readers in a different, more horrific world. The author’s descriptions of key authority figures within the Nazi regime is nothing short of chilling."

Gods of Men, Where the Spartans are Made
Remus, Philip
Winner, Chaucer Book Awards for Historical fiction
As the road to a new war is steadily laid, the powerful city states of Athens and Sparta move steadily towards the inevitable conflict. As these great events unfold, the boy Lysander begins his long and violent education, and it’s not long before the boy herder recognizes that Lysander is no ordinary student.
From one of my Readers: "Remus has decided to tackle an extremely difficult subject and I dare say he is also the first to take that particular shot and having great results. Without resulting to dilute the story with the trivia of Spartan education, society and politics (something that plagues other stories of the type) he goes into depth on the multifaceted theme by having done actual research beforehand. The book's plot and characters manage to remain extremely engaging from start to finish which is a rarity in of itself. This work deserves much more time in the spotlight that it is being given. "Underrated" is a perfect description of this small masterpiece."
