I have been asked many times since the launch of Furniture Sliders when the next book is due given that Furniture Sliders is Book 1 of a trilogy.  It will not be too long!

The next book is Angus Sliders and is targeted to publish mid-December this year. 

The story continues.  Max Calder is back as are more of his missing memories.  Alicia is back too when a secret called Project Oracle at a black site called ANGUS appears in both London and Scotland. Was the Mirror really destroyed in the Rosyth Incident? It actually has all of the hallmarks of an espionage related theft of Mirror technology perpetrated by MI6 “off the books”. Some familiar figures appear to be entangled in it including the Soviet double agent Kim Philby! Russian connections! 

Do not want to give all of the storyline away - so no more until later!  But the back page blurb draft is as follows!

 

Lisbon, London, Rosyth, Inversheil 1948. Max Calder thought he left the shadows behind with his service record, but when an unexpected encrypted radio message from MI6 surfaces in Lisbon, he knows the past isn’t done with him. What was destroyed wasn't - it was stolen. 

Project Oracle. A secret so deep it was stitched into silence at a black site called ANGUS. Time warps, missing hours, faces that shouldn't exist—all of it tied to the Mirror. A technology that it was apparent both the Bureau and rogue elements of MI6 were chasing.

Now it’s back. And so is Alicia Rayes. Sharp as broken glass and just as dangerous. Once a loyal intelligence agent, now something else entirely. She knows what the Mirror did. What it still does. And she’s not the only one. Everyone’s hunting something.

Calder’s just trying to stay one step ahead of ghosts and men who don't cast shadows.

In this game, memory can’t be trusted. Neither can time.

And Calder’s running out of both.

In this haunting continuation of the saga, noir meets espionage meets speculative science fiction in a tale of recursion, betrayal, and the illusions of self.
