Press Release 2005 12 05 Arjay Books Announces the publishing of The Nexus A Christian Science Fiction novel with an Irish flavour One of the worlds of the Timestream is about to undergo a nexus, a decision point that causes there to be two successor worlds, each stmming from a different choice in that decision. It's the Builder's duty to influence that decision, but his daughter has followed him into danger. Now, an orphan boy's angst-fuelled misunderstanding is about to divide his world and face him with shocking violence. Arjay Books announces the publication of The Nexus, Rick Sutcliffe's fifth novel in the award winning Irish Christian science fiction/alternate history series The Interregnum and a sequel to The Peace, The Friends, The Exile and The General. The Nexus continues the story of Mara Meathe following Tad O'Kelly's term as Senchus, and on toward the crisis point in alternate earth Hibernia's own affairs. She battles conspiracies, pirates, kidnappings, riots, gun runners, and Tara's corrupt nobility in her effort to seat a true king in a year's time. Meanwhile, Maeve Derry, now commander of Centralia Cadet School, pulls one of her cadets from the bbottom of a river following a bandits' ambush. What she then learns sets a new chain of events in motion, resulting in Tad's reappointment as Senchus for another sensational trial at Tara, during which a cowardly attack's outcome tips the legal scales. As the maelstrom of events swirls about the Nexus point on Tirdia, Catherine Ryan, Maeve Derry, and Mara Meathe each experience crisis decisions of their own, from which they must go forward to fight the next day's multiple battles. Should they fail, the light of right may be extinguished.
