1
The Ancient Egyptian gods have defeated all the other pantheons and claimed dominion over the earth, dividing it into warring factions. Lt. David Westwynter, a British soldier, stumbles into Freegypt, the only place to have remained independent of the gods' influence. There, he encounters the followers of a humanist leader known as the Lightbringer, who has vowed to rid mankind of the shackles of divine oppression. As the world heads towards an apocalyptic battle, there is far more to this freedom fighter than it seems... “'Pick up James Lovegrove s latest novel and you can rest assured that you are in the safe hands of a master craftsman.” -SFX MAGAZINE “One of the most interesting and adventurous British SF writers...” -THE BOOKSELLER

The Olympians appeared a decade ago, living incarnations of the Ancient Greek gods on a mission to bring permanent order and stability to the world. Resistance has proved futile, and now humankind is under the jackboot of divine oppression. Until former London police officer Sam Akehurst receives an invitation too tempting to turn down: the chance to join a small band of guerrilla rebels armed with high-tech weapons and battlesuits. Calling themselves the Titans, they square off against the Olympians and their ferocious mythological monsters in a war of attrition which some will not survive. “The kind of complex, action-oriented SF Dan Brown would write if Dan Brown could write.” - THE GUARDIAN “One of the most interesting and adventurous British SF writers...” -THE BOOKSELLER

Gideon Coxall was a good soldier but bad at everything else, until a roadside explosive device leaves him with one deaf ear and a British Army half-pension. So when he hears about the Valhalla Project, it's like a dream come true. They're recruiting former service personnel for excellent pay, no questions asked, to take part in unspecified combat operations. The last thing Gid expects is to find himself fighting alongside ancient Viking gods. The world is in the grip of one of the worst winters it has ever known, and Ragnarök – the fabled final conflict of the Sagas – is looming. “'Pick up James Lovegrove's latest novel and you can rest assured that you are in the safe hands of a master craftsman.” -SFX MAGAZINE “The action, along with some finely observed satire, keeps the pages turning until the end.” – TOTAL SCI-FI ONLINE
