Ten minutes later the opened file containg a written report of the findings together with relevant imagery from the scanner was sitting on the desk of Consultant Neurosurgeon, Helen Ashley-Cooper. Her face was deathly pale. How, in the name of God, could the woman have suffered a second injury more lethal than the first? The proof was right here - a lacerated artery leaking blood under pressure into the space between the 'dura mater' and the bony shell of the skull; not just leaking and issuing from the surgeon's craniotomy procedure but compressing the brain to the extent where it could no longer function. Something was terribly wrong and in a desperate bid to add substance to an alarming theory posed a short while ago by the redhead who accompanied the husband, she reached into her desk drawer and retrieved the origial CT scan readout performed when Tyra first arrived at the Queen Elizabeth.

About the Book
Christmas Eve 2012 and although Sophie’s return from a seven-day break in Germany is imminent, for Tyra an entire week without seeing her best friend proves the catalyst for a protracted, vivid and deeply-upsetting dream which ensures life will never quite be the same again. Throughout the nocturnal hours which span a period of more than two years, Tyra encounters people and places of which she has no previous recollection but where does fiction end and fact begin? Where is the dividing line between implausibility and the brutal, shocking reality of the physical world? Within twenty-four hours Tyra begins to see how such an event might not be attributed to some external trigger mechanism or an overactive imagination after all when the BBC screens a troubling documentary in its ‘Timewatch’ series featuring names, faces and locations from that very dream. One startling but indisputable detail to emerge from Sophie and Werner’s fact-finding holiday and which is, bizarrely, confirmed by Tyra’s illusory experience at virtually the same time, speaks of a Germanian child sold into slavery and ending her days in the Ephesus Gladiatorial School more than thirty years later. Certain of a connection to her own distant past and desperate to uncover the facts surrounding the mystery-girl’s betrayal and removal from society, Tyra and her group embark upon an unpredictable and far-from-clear journey across Europe which, subsequently, not only reveals the cruel, wicked truth and yields results exceeding their wildest hopes, it also proves beyond all doubt that Tyra’s link to the slave girl is closer and more permanent than she dared imagine.
About the Author
Adam Falconer lives in the UK, is sixty-three years old, and has now developed a passion for writing romance/action-adventure/erotica novels. This will be the fifth book in the Eternal Circle series, and in the nine years since book one went to print, the content has become bolder, increasingly daring, and infinitely more risqué. Women are still treated with utmost respect and continue to form the backbone of the narrative.
