Alongside his remarkable comrades, Victor hurtles through time, racing against the clock to thwart the malevolent exploitation of advanced technology poised to unravel the very essence of our world.
With twists lurking around every corner and pulse-pounding action at every turn, The Shadow Directorate promises an exhilarating voyage that will grip you from start to finish. Will the shadows of time engulf us all, or can Victor and his allies rewrite destiny before it’s too late?
The First Review:
“With an ingenious and highly original plotline, The Shadow Directorate effortlessly entwines the ancient with the modern with the outright futuristic. David J. Roche describes pre-Middle Ages events and the late Twenty-First century with the same eye for detail and rich language that incorporates a style which captures the reader’s page-turning attention. The author uses his own, extensive, military experience to complement credible time-bending technology in a classic tale of Good versus Evil worthy of Fleming’s end-of-the-world best, with a wholly-unexpected finale that certainly caught this reader by surprise. If it’s excitement and originality you want in a thriller, The Shadow Directorate is certainly worth taking for a spin through the cosmos. Recommended.” – Peter Whyte-Venables FRGS
