A Shipwreck Conspiracy is the 8th in the series of highly acclaimed and best selling Judge Marcus Flavius Severus mysteries in Ancient Rome. This story takes place in the year 171 CE during the reign of Marcus Aurelius and two years after the events in The Persian Assassin. Marcus Severus is happily retired in his villa in the Alban Hills when he and his family come to Rome for a visit. While there Severus visits the Court of the Urban Prefect and attends the final day of a sensational trial. A merchant ship, the Andromeda, was deliberately beached in the middle of the night at a place where a gang of robbers was already waiting to seize the ship's extremely valuable cargo of silk from the country in the far East known as Seres or Thina. Crew or passengers who got in the way were randomly murdered and the Captain of the Andromeda was now on trial for the shipwreck, the robbery and the murders. But there is a major problem. The Captain claimed he had been knocked unconscious during the robbery and confessed only under excruciating torture. And the question of the corroboration required by Roman law of a confession extracted by torture was in doubt. Without corroboration, the burden of proof, which in Roman law is on the prosecution, could not be met and the Captain should have been acquitted, not convicted. Severus is intrigued and gets himself appointed a Special Judge to investigate the case for the appeal to the Urban Prefect. He seeks missing ship's officers, learns about the silk trade, and questions owners, investors and merchants about the ship and its cargo. He discovers that behind the conspiracy, directing it, is a mastermind known to the other conspirators only as Ipse, 'Himself', a term used by the imperial court for the Emperor or by a school for its head. Who is Ipse? And what really happened on the Andromeda? Severus' quest to find out is regularly stymied by lies and concealments of people being questioned, and more ominously by murders of suspects before they can be questioned. And, as he gets closer to the truth, there is even an attempt to assassinate Severus himself. As in previous cases, Judge Severus is aided by his private secretary and freedman Alexander, his police aides Vulso and Straton, his court clerk Proculus, his wife Artemisia, and his judicial assessor, Flaccus, all of whom reconvene to solve what really happened and track down Ipse.This book, as the others in the series, is both a mystery, and a sojourn into the daily life of Ancient Rome and its courts, police and criminal law. All laws, rescripts and legal procedures are from Roman law sources. Alan Scribner was an Assistant District Attorney in the office of Frank S. Hogan in New York County and a criminal defense attorney. He is also an independent scholar of Ancient Rome, co-author with J.C.Douglas Marshall of Anni Ultimi: A Roman Stoic Guide to Retirement, Old Age and Death. Scribner is the author of the Judge Marcus Flavius Severus Mysteries in Ancient Rome series: Mars the Avenger, The Cyclops Case, Marcus Aurelius Betrayed, The Return of Spartacus, Mission to Athens, Across the River Styx and The Persian Assassin.

Conspiracy theorist Chet Morelli has been navigating the river of lies in the United States for more than 30 years. Like many others, he's discovered that the government is no friend of the people, and indeed has plans to enslave its citizens in order to promote a new world order. The evidence is staggering. Poisons such as fluoride have been added to the water supply and mercury continues to be injected into innocent children in the form of vaccines. Meanwhile, the country continues its metamorphosis into a military police state where the people no longer have any rights. This new USA plans to create a master race and depopulate the earth of 80 percent of its people. None of this looks good for the general public, but it's not too late to do something about it. Ask yourself: Where will this blueprint take humanity, and has the Earth become the cosmic battleground on which God and Satan will fight for supremacy? And if so, is this fight near an end? Take the journey and find out the truth in Shipwreck: Sailing on a River of Lies in the USA.

Theophilus Cibber was an early 18th century actor, playwright and author. Cibber was a famous actor who later developed a bad reputation and was linked to several scandals.

A true story of royal intrigue—with famed diarist Samuel Pepys as the main protagonist—as a fatal shipwreck on the shores of Restoration Britain sparks a mystery that now may finally be solved. In 1682, Charles II invited his scandalous younger brother, James, Duke of York, to return from exile and take his rightful place as heir to the throne. To celebrate, the future king set sail in a fleet of eight ships destined for Edinburgh, where he would reunite with his young pregnant wife. Yet disaster struck en route, somewhere off the Norfolk coast. The royal frigate carrying James and his entourage sank, causing some two hundred sailors and courtiers to perish. The diarist Samuel Pepys had been asked to sail with James but refused the invitation, preferring to travel in one of the other ships. Why? What did he know that others did not? Religious and political tensions were rife in the years leading up to the wreck of the Gloucester. James was a Catholic, as was his wife, and there was a large constituency who wished them dead. Plots and conspiracies abounded. The Royal Navy was itself in disarray, badly equipped and poorly organised. Could someone on board be to blame for the sinking, either from malice or incompetence? Nigel Pickford’s compelling account of the catastrophe draws on a richness of historical material including letters, diaries and ships’ logs, revealing for the first time the full drama and tragic consequences of a shipwreck that shook Restoration Britain.

A gripping fast paced thriller starts with the sinking of the lusitania and follows the riveting story through to the present day. Now, after more than a century of silence, the Triangle of Conspiracy is at last revealed in an intriguing blend of fact and fiction. The Lusitania was sunk off the coast of Kinsale on May 7th 1915 with the loss of twelve hundred lives. A German U-boat was blamed and the German High Command admitted that they had struck the Lusitania with one torpedo. But was it really that torpedo which sank the great liner? Britain and America condemned the Kaiser for committing a war crime and expressed massive outrage. But the Lusitania was carrying war munitions so whose crime was it? In 1915, the British Empire suffered a devastating defeat at Gallipoli in the Dardanelles. Incompetence amongst the Allied commanders was blamed. But was it really incompetence? The German Royal Family have never relinquished their rights to the throne. Why? A case involving the ownership of the wreck was settled in the Supreme Court in Dublin in 2007. But was it? Why would anyone want to stop an exploration into a one hundred year old ship wreck? What difference could it make now? What relevance has it today? Why would we care? A package containing a journal, started in 1915 and originally posted in 1925, lands on the desk of Lauren York, a businesswoman in present day New York. The journal reveals a high level conspiracy involving the Lusitania sinking, Gallipoli, the British and German monarchies, financial institutions still in existence today and governments. The journal directs Lauren to look for key cables which are missing and which reveal crucial information on the ships final voyage. She is warned that as soon as her investigation into the Lusitania and the search for the cables becomes known, her life and anyone close to her will be in danger. She is to enlist the support of Richard Banks, an intelligence operative with whom she had an unresolved relationship some years earlier. She is also to contact Gregory Grant, an enigmatic media tycoon, based in London. The three families appear to have a connection to the Lusitania. William Kaister, a ruthless, wealthy and well connected German financier and businessman is also an illegitimate descendant of Kaiser Wilhelm 2. He believes his forefather was unjustly pilloried and lost the German throne as a consequence of the sinking of the liner. He is intent on righting the wrongs of history. He is intensely interested in anything concerning the Lusitania and will eliminate any obstacle to his quest. However, he is unaware of the existence of the cables. The search for the cables starts in Liverpool, moves to London and onto to Washington. Lauren, Richard and Gregory suddenly find themselves the target of a lethal manhunt stretching across three continents. They are called to the White House and the search encompasses Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. The story involves conspiracy, romance, monarchies, politics, banking, governments and a dangerous history before arriving at a staggering revelation.
