The 9th Divinity: A New Power is Coming
by Réal Laplaine
4.3 Stars (8 Reviews)
Genre: Thrillers

A crime and geopolitical thriller, The 9th Divinity is also a novelistic treatise on the sociological aspects of war, dictators and sociopaths; presenting to the reader an alternative perspective to perpetuating wars as a means to peace.

In the 9th Divinity, the 4th novel in the Keeno Crime Thrillers, Keeno McCole, heading up Canada’s ATU (Anti-Terrorism-Unit) sets out to find an elusive group, somewhere in Toronto, one that has just threatened Vladimir Putin publicly, claiming they will force his invasion in Ukraine to end. Initially viewed as a hoax, even by Putin himself, the group presses forward with their claims, not only putting the Russian dictator on notice, but pressing him, and another dictator in North Korea, closer to nuclear retaliation. As the crisis rapidly escalates, Keeno finds himself in a very tough spot, because catching or even bringing down criminals has never been an issue for him, but stopping a group that threatens global dictators… that is another thing altogether. His doubts soon cast him down a very twisty road, walking a tightrope between betrayal to the nation he serves or backing a group that can actually stop Putin and his war in Ukraine.

50% of proceeds from sales of the 9th Divinity are being donated to Save the Children, to help families in war-torn Ukraine.

When Gods Roar: “The Awakening”
by Réal Laplaine
3.6 Stars (6 Reviews)
Genre: Thrillers | War

A stranger from another world shows up on Earth, seeking refuge. In exchange he offers up all the knowledge and technology from the world he escaped – but there’s a catch: Earth must first abolish all nuclear weapons before he will hand over technology that will literally catapult our culture to the stars.
The thrilling story that ensues, reveals the depth of our existing cultural dilemma, as nuclear powers refuse to let go of their nuclear stockpile, despite the incredible offering, and the true face of those leaders becomes apparent as they hijack democracy and make it clear that they are more interested in retaining power than serving the interests of the people and the future of the race.
Profound, with deep philosophical and existential insights, this story will not disappoint, offering up new perspectives about our existence, how the Universe was formed, why it was created, and our roles in it. When Gods Roar is more than a thrilling read, it is a journey beyond the edges of mediocrity, stretching our minds and imagination to entirely different realms.

by Réal Laplaine, Cindy Anderson
4.1 Stars (21 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

The Chinese regime realizes that without significantly more oil, their position as the global manufacturing giant is threatened, and to that end, a major loss of economic juice. If there is one thing they fear more than anything, it is revolution. They know that they must keep up the party image of success and keep the people believing in it and its ideology, against all odds, and so, after failing to negotiate an exclusive oil deal with Iran, they invade the Iranians and take their oil fields by force. Pressed to the wall, and overwhelmed by the invasion, the Supreme ruler of Iran authorizes a retaliatory strike on Beijing – firing off a nuclear warhead that is powerful enough to eviscerate twenty-million people in a matter of minutes. The world watches on in shock, because in just 8 minutes, the time it takes for the ICBM to reach Beijing, everything will change.
Just a day before this, vacationing on the blustery October beach of his hometown, Afife, Portugal, Mateus Cordozo, an engineer, is attempting to reconcile his midlife crisis. He sits and drinks wine, trying to vanquish his demons, when a very beautiful woman appears on the lonely stretch. They engage a conversation, and soon, she reveals her true agenda, telling him that a nuclear debacle is about to consume the world, and only he has the means of stopping it. Cordozo dismisses her statement and refuses to accept it as true; but over the course of the next 24 hours, Mateus sees that her mysterious prediction is coming true, and he must either face and reconcile his demons and accept what she says, or watch as the world is pitched into an apocalyptic war.
