Murder, ‘orrible murder!

 

Following the death of his father, psychiatrist Robert Cavendish is bequeathed a set of papers and a strange age-yellowed journal. As he unpacks and begins to read the papers he is astounded to discover that he is holding the journal of the infamous Whitechapel Murderer who stalked the streets of the East End of London in the autumn of 1888. The pages are warm to the touch, and a force of great malevolence seems to guide Robert’s journey through the mists of time as he is transported by the words upon the pages into the mind, and the world of the one and only Jack the Ripper!

 

His mind begins to feel the pull of another time, another place, as images of the Rippers crimes fill his thoughts and Robert is beset by waking nightmares of such sadistic and terrible bloodletting that he begins to doubt his sanity.

 

As he delves further and further into the demented world of the killer Robert begins to sense that his family has been hiding a terrible secret for over a century, a secret that he knows will only be revealed when he completes the task of reading ‘The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper’.

Of all the wonders that lie in the infinite reaches of space what small few might we witness? In the infinite stretch of time that lies before us, everything can and will happen, and the fun of discovery has already begun.

Houston together and giving them free reign to take us beyond our wildest dreams. Within are three stories from each author with a co-authored finale. 

A Review of the book:

ABC by Kristina Dalton on 12 November 2007 (note 5/5)
~Review~ I generally steer clear of science fiction. When I read this work of my fellow authors, I found myself thoroughly amazed at the sheer power of their imaginations. Their stories took me through space and time, across uncharted galaxies and inside the minds of characters in extraordinary circumstances. “A Binary Convergence” will whisk the reader away and provide a pleasurable safari in the worlds created by two vividly creative writers at the top of their game. ~ Kristina Dalton, author of Vampire’s Lover, The King’s Right, The Ring, Taken, Unleashed, and Untold

The following review was received on the day of the book's release.

Murder, Mayhem and Mexico
Brian L. Porter
ISBN:
Eternal Press
Mystery
Ebook
Rating: 4 Klovers
Mexico is a beautiful country full of unsolved mysteries where entire civilizations have disappeared and ancient ruins stand hauntingly vacant. The perfect backdrop for three vignettes in a place rich in custom and history.
First, “The Devil You Know” takes us on a journey with detective Juan Morales spanning fifteen years. A much loved and admired priest was found barely alive at the foot of the bell tower of his church where six choir and altar boys have gone missing. A lovely journalist is desperate to find out what really happened at Church of the Virgin Light all those years ago.
A short story rich in characters with a fully developed plot that will leave you surprised at the end. Juan Morales has a touching tale to tell.
Next in “Compliments of the Boss”, a travel consultant leaves her luxury hotel and finds herself victim of a vicious kidnapping. Fearful that she’s been abducted by the serial rapist and murderer plaguing Jalisco, Angelina Cordero plots against her kidnapper with unique results.
In few words, Brian L. Porter gives us a rare glimpse into the beauty of Puerto Vallarta. But there is another side to that beauty in this gripping crime story.
Last, in “Mexican Therapy” we meet Harry, an English author licking his wounds after a divorce in the small, picturesque Mexican village. A charming young girl shares the gift of healing with an introduction to a special new friend that will change his life.
The perfect heartening ending to a trilogy set in a country full of its own mysteries.
Brian L. Porter charms us with his obvious love of Mexico, finding a way to ensnare us into his world with three short stories that leave us hungry for more.

A LONG WAY FROM HOME

A Long Way From Home sees the crew of an alien spacecraft approaching an unknown galaxy in search of their ancient ancestry, known only in the form of legend told in obscure writings found in an ancient cave on their home planet. as they near their destination the commander and crew of the Kabalia Explorer are unaware of the shocking truth that awaits them as their search nears its conclusion.

 COMPLIMENTS OF THE BOSS

In Compliments of the Boss Angelina Cordero leaves her Mexican beach front hotel one sunny morning only to find herself kidnapped, bound and gagged, and at the mercy of a dirty and unkempt assailant who she suspects has been responsible for a series of brutal rapes and murders along the picturesque Pacific coast in recent months. As her situation deteriorates Angelina finds her options becoming increasingly limited and the explosive conclusion of this story will surprise and astonish the reader as it is revealed that nothing here is quite as it seems at first.

TERROR AT TUNGUSKA

On the 30th June 1908, an explosion of terrifying magnitude took place above the central plateau of Siberia, centred on the valley of the Tunguska River. The heat generated by the blast laid waste an area the size of St Petersburg, and the glow in the skies, an eerie, fiery red, could be seen 4000 miles away in England. At the time, there was much conjecture as to what may have caused this phenomenon, an asteroid perhaps, or a comet exploding in mid-air, perhaps even an atom-sized black hole passing through the earth, and officially, the first investigation of the site of the explosion wasn’t carried out until 1927, led by Soviet mineralogist Leonid Kulik. However, no-one has ever dared to reveal the truth behind the ‘Terror at Tunguska’, until now!

AN ALIEN ABDUCTION

Six terrified women are found naked and in shock in the Great Park. Under analysis by local doctors and psychiatrists they claim to have been abducted by aliens and subjected to unknown procedures. The scepticism of the doctors is compounded by the lack of credible evidence to support their stories and they are eventually released back into the community, where the unsuspecting people of the world welcome them back with open arms. The truth will be revealed in good time, the awful, shocking, unbelievable truth behind ‘An Alien Abduction’.

BREATHING TO DEATH

Women are being horribly murdered, and the police are at a loss to discover a motive for the crimes, or the weapon used in the execution of the murders. Detective Inspector Dylan Blake and Sergeant Lisa Ramage begin an investigation which seems to be going nowhere until they find the most implausible link between the victims, and the terrifying truth begins to reveal itself.
