I. SETH -- A Queer Story
Was this pit bottom or had Seth arrived in the stygian blackness of Hades? Open this book and enter the self-centred world of Seth Merrick, a highly intelligent young man, a loner with an unrestrained imagination. Seth prefers keeping to himself and doesn't intend to get involved with the roughcast pit folk living in their sordid terrace houses. When a strange incident propels him involuntarily into their lives, his egotistical outlook is turned upside down and his true destiny unfurls in a dramatic series of events. Read this gripping tale of young love, jealousy, grudge, trickery and revenge against the backdrop of the grim reality of late Victorian England's working class.



II. The Appointed One
In the wake of a shock overturn in the hallowed Palace of Westminster, the United Kingdom is in upheaval. To make things worse, a deadly pandemic is threatening the world's population. The young new Prime Minister Seth Merrick is faced with seemingly unsolvable problems in a struggle for survival. Woven into a thrilling story of insidious scheming, demonic hate, love and tragic death, we follow the engrossing progression of an extraordinary man of action towards his objective of building a New Britain. Can Seth's determination and the force of his spirit alone enable him to establish a classless and just society? Or will the Iron Fist enforce his perfidious plan to create a frightening autocracy?
