God Of War is an interwoven tale of two elements. The first a sinister conspiracy over two millennia ago, devised for the Emperor Nero. The second is the desperate subterranean adventure of a group of modern-day cavers.
In Ancient Britain during the Roman Occupation, readers will see the greed of one man result in a series of ghastly events... Leading to murders, horrors and despicable bloodshed. What will be the fate of this ambitious Roman - death, insanity or something even worse?
The remains of Roman endeavours lie deep underground today... to be discovered by a handful of friends, who find themselves trapped and hunted. Is survival possible? How far will some of these friends go in order to preserve their own lives? And can they escape the gargantuan horror which seeks to feed on both their flesh and their terror..?

Its hoarse breathing was virtually shaking the tunnel now. This and the groaning crunches of its motion told Liza that the killer was forcing itself down the passage.
She switched her helmet-lamp back on with her free hand and squinted against the sudden glare.
No, it wasn’t inside the bend yet.
As soon as it came into sight, she would kill herself.
It screamed again – a cry of both pain and rage...
