The DEVIN's WAY Trilogy
Set a century or so from now, the story of Marc Devin spans some 10 years with 3 books forming the core of the series, and short stories linking them together. The first book 'Eternal Spies' deals with his origin story. In the second, 'Jupiter's Moon', Devin descends into a personal hell as he is drawn into a mystery that takes him from the asteroid belt to the frozen wastes of the Jovian system. The third and final book, 'Martian Rising', tells how the beleaguered Intelligence Operative's story ends - will he shake the iron grip of his masters, or will he die alone on the barren surface of the Red Planet?

​
100 years from now. Peter Hubbard is a privileged professional, with modest aspirations and a comfortable life on Earth with his enigmatic girlfriend Jenn. But his mentor, the overbearing Professor Moray, forces him to accept a test mission of his new prototype environmental system in Low Earth Orbit, and he is set on a course that will literally change him forever.
Whilst in space an unexpected relationship forms as the station is subject to extreme conditions, and Peter is forced into a cut-throat race to acquire design specs of an emerging technology that will secure the position of whichever corporate-state gets there first. Fearing for the safety of his girlfriend, Peter returns to Earth only to be dragged deeper into the murky, shadowy world of counter-espionage where not only his identity is altered, but his life is irrevocably consumed as well.

​
Marc Devin is adjusting badly to life as an agent of Bureau 09. He has been robbed of his former identity and precious status, and must languish as a lowly 'tech for maintenance contractor 'Unitech'. Luckily for the Bureau and their nefarious schemes, this means that he can literally be anyplace, anytime under the guise of essential maintenance, but unluckily for him this dooms his future to one of filthy crawlspaces and Gods-forsaken hells-holes.
Amidst reports of valuable consignments disappearing in the Jovian system, Devin is stationed aboard an ice mining platform on the moon Europa to investigate. However he doesn't bank on the outright hostility and paranoia that meets him there, and the mysterious Leviathan that could threaten all of them. But as the game unfolds the thruth emerges, and he is shown how to loosen the reigns of the Bureau and regain some of his sanity before it is too late.
3: Martian Rising
COMING SOON from barbintoshBOOKS
​
41yr old Marc Devin deals with an old foe at a luxury resort on Earth's Moon, and is sent to Mars to investigate reports of a rumoured 'find' deep in the frozen soil. Such a find would give the Bureau's enemy, the United States of the Americas, dominance in the region, and Devin must either twist the finding into Europa-state's interests or destroy it for good - that's assuming it even exists in the first place!
But he doesn't bank on falling for his 'mark', the young woman he is to initially exploit in order to get closer to the find. As he stares death in the face on the unforgiving surface of Mars, will Marc Devin find redemption for his soul and at last discover a way to be free of the Bureau, once and for all?
