|
What brings a man to the brink of despair and surrender?
When dark circumstances threaten to overwhelm him and his family, young Markus Talwin is forced to choose – lose all the people he loves the most or delve into the dangerous underworld of Beltran and forge a new destiny of revenge against a corrupt Galactic regime and the one man that rules it. As he struggles to keep himself and his family alive he must face the true realities that govern the cosmos - no man can be good when he loses himself, not every ruler holds his peoples’ best interests at heart, and not every criminal is the monster that the law might make him out to be. Talwin’s journey is not a search for glory or greatness – he knows that these cannot feed his starving family. Instead, his battle is a personal fight to live against all odds, to rise above a broken system, and to prove that one determined man can make a difference. Book one of a grand Space Opera, following the life and times of Markus Talwin throughout the maelstrom of the changing times faced by the galactic republic. |

Johnathan Lambert doesn't exist, and Nadeau is faced with a difficult question. How do you find someone who doesn't exist? Lambert wakes up to find himself displaced in time – somehow transported back to the reign of the last French King and Queen, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Co Writer - History's Greatest Deceptions and Confidence Scams / 2017
|
Throughout history, there have always been fraudsters and tricksters ready and willing to part people and their money with smooth talking and tall tales, but the first formally recorded “confidence trick” was uniquely American in its origins and set the bar for both simplicity and sheer guts, both hallmarks of the most successful frauds ever perpetrated. |
This is the story of some of the greatest con artists throughout human history.” |
Co Writer - Where are They? and why haven't we found them yet? / 2018
|
Does Alien life exist out there? The purpose of this book is not to take one side or the other in that argument. It is to explore the present state of knowledge and to say where humanity now stands on the question of whether or not we are alone in the universe. Because there isn't the slightest doubt: that is a question that has occupied humans since they became human, and it's a question that shows no sign of going away. And if there are intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe - where are they? |
This thought-provoking examination of the science and philosophy behind this question is well-researched and eminently readable." |

A Question of Time? / 2019
"The theme of a man thrown back in time and his dilemma in choosing whether or not to significantly change history is fairly common, and always fascinating. But here it is kept interesting by good plotting and characterization of the main protagonists. The parallel story of the present-day investigation of his disappearance is well-written with its own interesting characters. And the device by which the investigator - and by inference the world at large - are oblivious to the changes wrought by the "intruder" in the past is well presented as we the readers are almost inadvertently told of them. Where Are They? / 2018
"All in all, Where Are They? by Steven Lazaroff and Mark Rodger is probably the most engaging and reader-friendly nonfiction book on aliens I have had the pleasure of reviewing, at least in recent memory. -David Ben Efraim (Quick Book Reviews) History's Greatest Deceptions and Confidence Scams / 2017
"It's a grand read that was well put together" - Amy's bookshelf reviews Where Are They? / 2018
"The authors explain the science and theories in an understandable way that a normal person should be able to easily grasp. Of course, as is often the case, even the basic question isn't as straightforward as we might think. What does it take to qualify as an intelligent being? If we found robots that possessed artificial intelligence that was on par with our own, would that count? And if we did find something like that, how could those robots have come into existence to begin with? All good questions. Read the book and you'll get some possible answers to these and many others you might not have even thought of yet." - Big Al's Books and Pals. |
