    Dream Thieves The plot revolves around the discovery of a hallucinogenic mind-altering drug that is later called Delirium. Extracted from the root of an Amazonian plant Delirium allows two people, who have ingested it, to share the same dream. In that dream the two share a common reality, a fifth dimension, and what they do in this dream state echoes in the real world. The story begins with an anthropological expedition to the Amazon Basin to study a tribe of Indians who have had no contact with the twenty first century. The expedition soon goes horribly wrong when they are captured by the very Indians they wanted to study. During their brief captivity a Shaman forces the female anthropologist to eat a piece of tree root and though she is constantly observed throughout the night in the morning she claims that she has been raped. When the main character Costas Romero becomes a victim of this drug, he is able to escape into the rainforest. Eventually Costas reaches safety and in Tefè is taken in by a doctor and his wife. In Tefè Costas meets up with a lifelong friend and a female research pharmacologist, Ruth Anderson. Ruth is intrigued by Costas' story and offers to analyse a piece of the tree root from which the drug is extracted. Ruth sends a sample of the root to her brother Lee, a research biomolecular scientist in the U.K. Following the illicit analysis of the drug Lee Anderson prepares a number of pure samples of the drug he calls Delirium. Once the properties of the drug are known it is abused by Lee and others that use it to rape a number of defenceless women. Soon after two revenge attacks on Lee's ex-girlfriend, she and her new boyfriend are brutally murdered. Dream Thieves is a story of mystery and intrigue interspersed with both love and betrayal. As revenge plunges one of the main characters towards self-destruction, will the love he shares with another be enough to save him? A sub plot of lust and cruelty bubbles just below the surface whilst a sadistic killer weaves a web of deceit in order to ensnare the innocent. Will justice finally descend upon the guilty?

    >CRYSTAL ICE also tells of an Auckland-based motorcycle gang called the Skorpions that has the distribution network that allows it to sell crystal methamphetamine in New Zealand and the mutualistic relationship that exists between the Croatian restaurateurs and the Skorpion leadership. It is a relationship that hinges on the Croatians successfully smuggling the precursor chemicals into the country and receiving 60% of the vast amounts of money generated by this illicit trade. When this relationship is threatened, by one of the Skorpion co-leaders withholding monies from the brothers, the Croatian's revenge is both swift and brutal, resulting in the execution of the renegade Skorpion leader. The killing is the catalyst to a series of events that ultimately threatens the illicit drug ring. Parallel to the power flux between the Croatians and the Skorpions is a young and naïve New Zealand Customs officer who gradually uncovers small and sometimes, seemingly insignificant clues that eventually leads him to discover the connection between the Croatian restaurateurs who manufacture the drugs, the Auckland motorcycle gang who distribute them and finally the terrorist cell that released the virus in the United States. Unlike "Contagion" written by Scott Burns in 2010 this is the story of a terrorist weaponized virus released by aerosol across the North Eastern states of America. Similar to COVID-19 the outbreak initially catches USAMRIID and the CDC off-guard. However, they soon implement the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza and initiate inter-agency field teams to investigate and identify the point sources of contagion. This novel does not detail the effects COVID-19 has had on the United States, it only details the effect the fictional weaponized virus has had before its distribution was disrupted.
