In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising.

A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."

Can Harry overcome his despair?

“My life shows that we as humans cannot always change or control our circumstances. We cannot anticipate all the obstacles in our path. We can, however, choose our attitude, our actions, and how to overcome the obstacles we face. This will define our character, values, and faith.”
It is only through the discovery of another’s life story that we gain perspective on our own.
As a man looks to his past, he finds a wealth of wisdom. John H. Livens was born in Latvia in 1933 and has lived a life across continents, through wars, and with an unwavering optimism for a better future. In his autobiography, An Unexpected Journey, we travel through time as he revisits his upbringing and how it shaped the man, the friend, and the husband he became.
With a strong voice and ethical code, John walks through his early years of privileged life in Latvia, the loss of everything during World War II, and resettlement in the United States. Overcoming obstacles with two Harvard degrees and business success, he began a new life. John epitomizes the unfettered freedom that the United States offers to all, regardless of background. He pursues life’s opportunities with tenancy and integrity.
John shares his memories—from his luck of escaping Soviet capture to his enriched life in the United States. Through each one, family is an ever-present element, and he pursues the ultimate goal of a personal relationship to fulfill his life and remind him of the wholeness from his early, carefree childhood.
Join John on his journey and uncover the unique experiences of a well-lived life.

Future tech collides with sword and sorcery in this epic science fantasy thriller!
Everyone Has Their Limits
The Heniokhos Disaster has resulted in several blocks of property damage and innumerable casualties, including two of the Hybrids. Phylus is still lost in Tanelen, and the ultimatum of war is fast approaching.
But The Avatars of Fate have suffered blows of their own. Most of The Named have been eliminated. Their recruitment efforts have been stonewalled. And a critical line of communication has been severed.
The revelation of a turncoat, however, brings The Coalition's very foundation under scrutiny. This apostate breathes new life into The Avatars' operations. Though perhaps it's a life that's been present all along. The prophesied arising draws near.
Eldritch beings herald the return of one more power for the Hybrids' arsenal. Buried deep underground for millennia, it may be the last hope against The Avatars' enigmatic Goddess.
Even though it failed once before.
Do you enjoy a good, clean action adventure story without all the profanity, vulgarity, and salaciousness? If so, the “Off” series is for you.
Here’s what some readers have said about “Off Kilter:”
Customer Reviews:
“This was one of the best new author books that I have read in a long time. The plot kept twisting and turning and kept you on the edge of your seat.” - Marcia
“Great book! Lots of action and adventure. Great plot and characters. Couldn't put it down.” – atabarac
“I loved this fast paced action adventure. It is well written with great characters. The story line is compelling and the action is like a roller coaster of excitement. The best thing of all though is that there is no swearing or unnecessary illicit sex. It takes talent to write a good story without extra garbage and Glen Robins has done it.” - MK
First, tragedy strikes.
Next, the enemy targets him.
Then, he’s framed.
Now, he’s on the run.
Collin Cook’s life gets turned upside down when his family is killed in an accident. A large settlement is coming while Collin is still reeling, but so is the nefarious Pho Nam Penh, who is hell-bent on destroying the world’s economy. Penh locks in on Collin as an easy target and his settlement as funding for his terrorist plot.
After Penh frames him, Collin has to stay ahead of Penh’s henchmen, Interpol, and the FBI. With the help of his lifelong friend and NSA cyber-guru, Lukas Mueller, Collin must stay alive and free long enough to save the world from Penh’s devious scheme.
Can this ordinary man, untrained and inexperienced, outwit a determined foe, escape the incessant pursuit of law enforcement, and keep himself from mental collapse?
In the first installment of the action-packed “Off” Series, Glen Robins takes you on a whirlwind adventure with the fractured Collin Cook as he navigates the dangerous maze of economic cyber warfare. And he’ll do it without the graphic language or gratuitous scenes so prevalent in today’s thrillers.
If you’re a fan of Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, or Tim Tigner’s Kyle Achilles, with a twist of Sylvia Nasar’s “A Beautiful Mind,” you will love Collin Cook and his adventures.

It’s 1985, the year of Live Aid, earthquakes, the birth of the World Wide Web and the year they found the wreck of the Titanic. It is the year that I became a staff nurse in a mental health day unit.
I am 24 years old and by my own admission still growing up. I lack confidence and I know I am overly sensitive at times, but also people say I am funny and creative with words. I think my story will relate to all females who grew up in the eighties and by their mid-twenties, still didn’t feel like an adult should feel. I am hopeless with men and attract ‘the wrong sort’ and I desperately want to find love. So do my two sisters and two best friends. Can we achieve it in this incredible year?
This year is eventful, there is never a dull moment.
