White Horse

In the opening volley of the Dark Paradigm saga, fugitive LA gangster Frank Bowen boards a regional train in Spain looking to disappear. He is not the only passenger with something to hide — a virologist in the next carriage is carrying the keys to a manufactured plague, and an orphaned boy trained inside an illegal CIA mind-control programme has been dispatched to retrieve them.

When the train becomes the stage for a meticulously engineered terror attack, Frank's instinct for survival drags him out of anonymity and into the crosshairs of a cabal whose plans stretch far beyond a single bombing. Hunted by assassins, harbouring a secret he does not yet understand, he begins a frantic run across Europe that will bind his fate to a global freedom-fighting faction called Liberatus.

White Horse is a tautly-plotted thriller that reads like a Bourne chase filtered through a geopolitical nightmare. It is the gateway into a four-book apocalyptic arc about engineered pandemics, weaponised psychology, and the thin edge between coincidence and conspiracy.
