To DISCOVER that truth will mean struggling to understand lives, revealing actions of the past.
To REVEAL the truth means to remove it from the shadows of those who would not be found, those who would not enlighten, caught up in the tide of fate and time and survive to tell the tale.
To SURVIVE the truth will mean challenging the game masters who want to keep the mysteries just the way they are.

Deception
The Elements introduces a multi-layered story universe submerging the reader into a rich and complex world of discovery at a time near to the end of the cold war. The front story is set 1986-1988, following the pre-sequence of events in the wake of a macabre discovery of a murder victim in the Tiveden National Park in Sweden in Beyond The Light Of Reason. The Elements draws on a vast pantheon of characters, covering a timespan of over six decades – from the years immediately before the fall of the Berlin wall back past the hidden deeds of the second world war and farther back in time. Working with four timelines, each book examines a different element in a growing perception of reality.
Grounded in Nordic mythology, secrets of archaeological discovery, the fight for freedom and the past deeds of the forgotten, names turned to stone; elements of the history of the 20th century are revealed to uncover a past we never knew existed.
Revelation
Each book takes the reader on a voyage of the imagination going deeper into the secrets of the past as the West and East move closer towards conflict. Heroes, anti-heroes, legends of the past, the fading resistance generation, power brokers, puppet masters, spies, controllers and gatekeepers are just some of the people and events covered in the series. Based on real places, real events, real people, history married to fiction in a contemporary post-modern idiom, The Elements is a new concept for entertaining literary fiction: It works with a compelling and intricately detailed plot, drawing extensively on the wars and wartime and archaeological secrets of twentieth century.
