Sophyan Empire
- After generations of conflict and economic turmoil, the Sophyan Empire stands as an icon:
a society based upon the assurance of civil rights, not just for humans, but for all sentient
beings, yet in which power and the right to rule is held in the hands of a few. It is the world
of the Sophyan Empire.
Often described as Alastair Reynolds meets John LeCarre, this series blends exciting
tales of adventure with thought provoking intrigue. As with all of George’s works, it places
strong believable characters into the pit of adventure, and forces them to question the core
of what we believe is right.
Island of the Priest King
- Set in the centre of the middle sea lay a lonely island, whose secrets are kept at bay by a
pact and bond created and continued by the ancient line of the Priest-Kings, but that line
is ending, and for good or ill, the power that lay bound in the earth is soon to be freed.

The Rise of a Dark Lord
- An outcast, half -cast bastard and child of rape, Thangmarkhaz was despised as weak by

right or divine being to dictate his rise, but he built a Kingdom and an Empire all the same,
not through destiny, but with his own will...
