The Torc Trilogy

 

 The Torc Trilogy is an action adventure historical/modern day tale, (not fantasy), which consists of three books.

1) The Belgae Torc
2) The Gordian Knot
3) Cutting the Gordian Knot (The Final Solution)

The Gordian Knot is known as an insurmountable problem faced by Alexander the Great, but with one stroke of his sword he cuts the Gordian Knot thus solving the problem.
This is where the titles of my books came from.

The Belgae Torc begins in Iron Age Britain where a magnificent torc is made from white gold.  Intrigue and torment surrounds this beautiful symbol of wealth which echoes down through the ages.
Two thousand years later it has lost none of its energy and falling into private ownership in the 1930s it mysteriously disappears.
All three books follow the archaeological and commercial search for the ancient artifact that holds the power of world domination.  Whoever owns the torc will achieve great things or fall foul of its influence.

Cutting the Gordian Knot (The Final Solution)

 

Two months after their disastrous holiday, Orlagh and Jerry are at home in Ireland recovering from their terrifying ordeal. The Belgae Torc is at last on display at the National Museum and Orlagh is under increasing pressure to divide her time between her work at the museum and heading up an archaeological dig in County Meath. She is convinced that an ancient battle between Iron Age tribes took place here and is determined to prove her theory, but as archaeologists begin to unearth the truth, they are faced with some unexpected surprises.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Jack Harrington is making discoveries of his own and finds himself juggling personal and professional commitments.  His organisation is still recovering from recent events in the Mediterranean and is loathed to be drawn into another deadly conflict, but like it or not, there are unresolved issues that cannot be avoided.

The Phoenix Legion is about to implement the final phase of its master plan and this time Schiffer is convinced that nothing can stop him from realising his goal.

With the past merging with the present, the elements of a deadly conclusion are finally coming together. Will history repeat itself or can another worldwide catastrophe be avoided?

The Gordian Knot

The Gordian Knot, the second book in The Torc Trilogy


‘People had died because of the Belgae Torc and somehow she felt responsible’


Twelve months has passed since the traumatic events that almost claimed her life and Dr Orlagh Gairne is looking forward to a well-earned holiday.  With her partner, Jerry, they jet off for the Aegean coast where they plan to make the most of the Mediterranean sun and visit the ancient sites of Anatolia.

The Phoenix Legion, still reeling from a humiliating defeat, have re-grouped and are now planning the next phase of their quest.  They are in possession of the Belgae Torc, but this is not enough to ensure total power so they must rely on the druids and their connection with the spirit world.

Whilst searching for treasure in the Sea of Azov, Jack Harrington and his team make an unexpected discovery and with the past merging with the present are unable to avoid being drawn in to another deadly battle.

The Belgae Torc, Jack Harrington and The Phoenix Legion are far from her thoughts, but as Orlagh enjoys her holiday with the man she loves, these forces come together.  Will she manage to avoid another conflict or will she become a victim of circumstances that are beyond her control?


The Gordian Knot, continuing this exciting action adventure drama is available from Amazon on Kindle at just £1.99 or $2.99

The Belgae Torc

The Gordian Knot

Cutting the Gordian Knot (The Final Solution)


Each book follows the archaeological and commercial search for the ancient artifact that holds the power of world domination.  Whoever owns the torc will achieve great things or fall foul of its influence. 

In the 1920s the torc is unearthed by a team of archaeologists on what is thought to be the site of an ancient ritualistic killing.  Even though it has lain buried for 2000 years the torc has lost none of its resplendence or symbolic status.  Coveted by those who see it the torc enters a private collection and is lost to public scrutiny.  Years later it turns up on the inventory of a sunken ship and archaeologist Orlagh Gairne from the National Museum of Ireland is sent to assist a team of marine salvage experts to identify items of historical importance including the torc.

Here begins an adventure that spans three books and changes the lives of all those involved.
