The Azorea Trilogy new image

Discover Azorea

    Azorea is a world on the brink of destruction.  Two brothers; one the ruler of the Azorean people, the other a power hungry and ambitious zealot, struggle for control over their world.  They are a culture divided. The younger brother, Cormack, wants change and in trying to bring it about, creates a catastrophe that seals the fate of their home world.  A devastating explosion rips their planet apart. In attempting to flee,  they board the last few transports still available.  Cormack hijacks two of the transports and as they leave their world, all are hit by the final gamma blast from the exploding planet.

The explosion destroys their guidance and navigation systems. Now they are hurling though space with no way to determine their course, like a stone shot from a slingshot.  Two ships contain the Azoreans, led by Griegor, their leader; the other two are carrying the loathsome LeathMairbh or “Half Dead”; led by Cormack, the author of this apocalyptic catastrophe.  Both become marooned on Planet Earth in the 16th century.  The vile LeathMairbh have been loosed to rain death and destruction on the unwitting people of 16th century Scotland and only the Azoreans can stop them.  This is their tale. 

     The Azoreans are the only defense against the destructive LeathMairbh.  Told from the Azorean perspective; finally, the truth about famous historical Scottish events are explained in this alternate reality fiction novel.  Integral to the story is the charm and feel of the highland people; their language, and their culture.  To learn more, click on the button below.
