Nowhere Else to Run - by Eddie Martin - October 2016

A gripping suspense thriller set against the vibrant yet dangerous backdrop of Brazil.

What was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime in Rio de Janeiro turns into a desperate fight for survival for George and Maggie. They never imagined their dream vacation would pit them against an international gang of ruthless criminals.

Before leaving the U.K., George was secretly approached by MI5, the British Secret Service, and asked to deliver a mysterious package to Brazil. He kept the mission from his wife — unaware that the package was also being hunted by a powerful criminal network.

When Maggie is kidnapped by the gang and used as leverage for the package, she makes a daring escape with George’s help. Their nightmare deepens as they are relentlessly pursued across Brazil, culminating in a deadly confrontation at the majestic Iguassu Falls, where one gang member meets a gruesome end.

On the run and terrified, the couple flee back to Rio, only to be ambushed in a dangerous favela. George is wounded, and their last hope lies with MI5 — but the truth they uncover is more shocking than anything they could have imagined. They were unwitting mules, deceived by the very agency that recruited them.

Now, caught between MI5’s hidden agenda and a vengeful criminal syndicate, George and Maggie must decide who they can trust — and how far they’ll go to survive when there’s nowhere else to run.

The Conflict Within is a sweeping historical novella set in Inca times, amid the sacred city of Machu Picchu. It tells the intertwined story of two prominent families belonging to a peaceful tribe, whose lives are torn apart by jealousy, ambition, and the looming threat of war.

At the same time, an aggressive rival tribe covets the wealth and power of Machu Picchu, fuelling tensions that spiral toward invasion and bloodshed.

Against this backdrop of political intrigue, bribery, and corrupt leaders vying for control, two forbidden love stories unfold. One binds the son of one family to the daughter of the other, while the second dares even more—uniting a warrior from the rival tribe with a young woman from Machu Picchu. Their passions defy tribal loyalties and deepen the conflict that threatens to consume them all.

As rivalries intensify and retribution is sought, the power struggle erupts into open warfare, leading to devastating loss and mass killing. The Conflict Within is a tale of love and betrayal, ambition and vengeance, where personal choices echo through history and the cost of hatred proves immeasurable.

A richly woven tale of suspense, romance, and intrigue, this novella will keep readers captivated from start to finish.
