Description
In 'Forces of Retribution,' the riveting second instalment in the Tego Arcana Dei series, James Pollock continues his time-twisting adventure from the battlefields of Lebanon in 2006 to the cryptic pyramids of Egypt.
Stranded in a harsh and alien parallel universe, James stumbles upon a time-travelling medallion amidst the rubble of war-torn Lebanon. This mysterious artefact might hold the key to their return, but the journey home is fraught with dangers beyond anything they could have ever imagined.
Meanwhile, half a century in the future, James' companions - the formidable Virginia and the enigmatic Russian, Natasha - along with the newly pregnant Alexei, grapple with their desperate circumstances. Earth is no longer the world they knew; a perilous landscape marked by genetic mutations that have eradicated the male species.
'Forces of Retribution' delivers a powerful punch of action, adventure, and human interest. The narrative threads the needle through the eye of a gripping journey across Europe, where an expecting mother battles to protect her unborn child. James Pollock's riveting exploits in this unfriendly world set the stage for a story that will leave readers on the edge of their seats.
Advance Praise
This is a great science fiction novel about multiple universes, the present day and the near future. Stuck in the middle of Lebanon in the middle of war, the main character, James Pollack, finds himself between universes. In this world he faces war, in the alternative universe he faces a landscape full of mutants in which he is one of the few remaining males of the human species.
The novel mixes alternate reality and pulp style themes of last-man-on-earth in a clear and well-written narrative.

This review is for the first 3 books in the Tego Arcana Dei Series:
This author has a great imagination, and puts it to great use here. These stories are a wild ride, and quite unpredictable. They have an enjoyable mix of scifi, time travel, ad mystery, and I liked watching the characters deal with their situations, often in creative ways. Good stuff.
I really appreciate the free copy for review!!
