Charismatic entrepreneur Jack Stern loves nothing more than adventure tinged with mischief. On a journey to inspect his newly acquired business in Newburn, Jack chances upon a disillusioned priest, Fr Brendan O’Reilly, at a roadside cafe.

Over dinner and drinks, Jack tricks Brendan into swapping identities. But when Brendan arrives in Newburn, he discovers the business he must run is a brothel! Meanwhile, Jack preaches radical theology in the inner sanctums of the Catholic Church.

Chaos ensues when the ghost of a murdered priest reveals the Church’s involvement in criminal black market activities. When Brendan and Jack investigate, they are pursued by an array of assassins, including an ancient demonic being.

Together the silver fox and the priest are enmeshed in an action-packed cat and mouse game until the final, public showdown at St Pious Church.

Jack Stern’s second adventure is a continuation of the first in which three stories seemingly unrelated are intertwined to share a common theme: “DO NOT UPSET THE STATUS QUO”


Jack Stern and Fr Brendan O’Reilly holiday in Mauritius where they discover a decaying Alien church which Brendan brings back to life. Once the media cover the story thousands of pilgrims seeking salvation flock to the island from all over the globe much to the disdain of the Vatican’s power brokers who do not want a second coming of Christ and therefore act accordingly.

Jack Stern acts to protect and rescue Rome’s monetary investment in an Australian natural therapies company under siege by the health department with devastating political and biblical consequences.

Meanwhile Franck Max Climax, a faceless London vagabond, in addition to the Mafia in America, work hard to cripple the pharmaceutical industry by rendering all medications inactive and substituting their own.

Assassin Ivan Gallows, alias the D-Man, seeks to restore his destructive powers by all means possible and eliminate Jack Stern once and for all.

Marcus Rhodes is a man caught between worlds and driven by a thirst for justice. Born to a Polish mother and an aristocratic English father, Marcus finds himself expelled from Sandhurst Military Academy after a jaw-shattering confrontation with the commandant.

Disillusioned and estranged from the British Empire, Marcus journeys to his ancestral homeland of Poland, where he transforms into a formidable Grom agent. Teaming up with two skilled Norwegian FSK agents and a determined Serbian Policeman, Marcus is thrust into a mission of global significance. Tasked with unraveling the mysterious American ‘invasion’ of Norway, suspicions within NATO escalate, pointing to possible foul play.

As Marcus and his eclectic team dig deeper, they uncover a web of deception, danger, and unforeseen complexities. The stakes are higher than anyone could have imagined, and Marcus must navigate a treacherous path to unveil the truth.

In this gripping tale of espionage and intrigue, Marcus Rhodes faces a world where trust is a scarce commodity, and the line between ally and adversary blurs in the face of an unimaginable threat.
