About this ebook
The first four of seven books begin with Matthias Callaghan waking up from a coma only to learn that, by mistake, his identity has been stolen from him. When Callaghan learns he truth behind his fate, he sets out to exact revenge on the five people who have betrayed him: the leader of the Russian Mafia in London, a lawyer that that he has confided in, his wife with a secret past, his business partner and his high-living father.
Despite his machinations achieving revenge, Callaghan promptly finds himself cornered by the police and gangsters regarding his true identity and the other two he has found convenient to adopt. When confronted by Scotland Yard, he sees no other option than to leave his comfortable life in London. Together with his girlfriend Samantha, who is uninformed of his predicaments, he leaves the UK for Australia. On their journey, they are followed by an assassin who, under the direction of his boss Jeremiah Flint, has been instructed to kill Callaghan.
Callaghan manages to escape by killing the assassin using a cactus, something that in turn now makes the FBI, the Metropolitan police, a London gangster, the Russian Mafia and a Mexican drug cartel look for him. Through all sorts of hair-raising adventures driving through Mexico, he and his girlfriend eventually manage to reach Australia.
Six months later he finds out that he’s wrong about no longer being persecuted. Once again on the run, he and Samantha escapes to Bali where they try to come to grips with Callaghan’s quandary. The pair settles on a daring plan to remove all threats to Callaghan’s existence and allow him to recover his true identity.
“Ekemar is a talented writer who is able to weave the lives of the characters in such a way as to keep the reader entertained. I rate this seven-book saga a 4 out of 4 stars. It continues with the same interesting story-line and builds on the characters stories while showing character progression. This septology, would appeal to those who enjoy mystery, action and drama.”
OnlineBookClub Reviews
“Kim Ekemar’s Septology is a two-fisted, explosive, and twisting tale of treachery, organized crime and global violence in the world of Russian mafia dons, London crime firms and wanted fugitives.
This is the very definition of a twenty-first-century thriller—a quintessential page-turner. The writing is sharp, fast-moving and very professional. There are no wasted words in this thriller.The Callaghan Septology is literary action with an eye toward current events. Be forewarned: the actions of Matthias Callaghan are highly addictive.”
Clarion Foreword Reviews
Kim Ekemar
I've been fortunate with opportunities to travel the world, counting Mexico, France, Sweden and Spain as my home at one time or other. In the past, a good part of my life was dedicated to business ventures: an art gallery, an advertising agency and commodity trading, among others. My travels have taken me to faraway places and amazing situations. I arrived in Mongolia just as the revolution for independence from the USSR started. I have been taken up the Sepik river by crocodile hunters in Papua Guinea. I've climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya, gone horseback riding to where the Río Magdalena in Colombia begins, crossed the Australian desert, hiked the Inka trail the wrong direction in Peru, and much more. However, the experience with the most impact that I've lived through was to be arbitrarily jailed in a centre for torture in Paraguay during the Stroessner dictatorship, under the absurd accusation of being a terrorist. (More about this in my illustrated non-fiction book in Spanish about the dictator, "El Reino del Terror".) During the past two decades, I've been focused on artistic expressions – painting, photography, design and architecture, but mainly on writing. The sources for the things I'm interested in writing about are the passions of people; places and customs that I've experienced around the world; and stories or situations from life that intrigue me.
