    About this ebook

    Agent John Ash is about to meet an American Secret Weapon: the Spellbreaker. A shadowy figure able to resist detection even by the greatest British magic, the Spellbreaker is a whispered legend in the halls of power in England, rumored to be more fiction than fact. But when one of Her Majesty's Templars is sent to Africa to find out what is happening to British citizens, Ash learns the Spellbreaker is real, and more terrifying than anyone ever imagined. Can a Knight of the Crown, sworn to defend Britain from the darkest magics of the 20th Century work side-by-side with a monstrous, unstoppable super-soldier long enough to unravel a savage mystery on the Dark Continent, or will a showdown between supposed allies spark the end of American-British cooperation?

    A secret war has raged in the shadows for centuries as the forces of darkness try and exterminate mankind. In the mid-20th Century, the United States forms a covert unit of super soldiers, psychics and scientists to drive back the dark and defend humanity: Detachment 1039, the Black Sabers. For over 50 years, they have battled evil all around the globe, in all its monstrous, supernatural forms. These are their stories...

      AFRICA, 1968

      On any other day, John Ash might have enjoyed the drive through the rolling plains of Ghana. The sun was shining overhead and a gentle breeze rustled the long grass on either side of the dirt road he drove on. A breeze of fresh air that did not carry the stench of the industrialized world, but rather the clean air of a land of natural wonders.

      His Range Rover bounced and jumped over the rough dirt tracks he followed, moving ever eastward, away from the West Coast of Africa and its small cities and towns, deeper into untamed country filled with wildlife—and warlords.

      Africa was in tumult. The former European Colonies of the continent, given their independence in the decade following World War II were now battlegrounds, governments rising and falling almost monthly as the power-hungry jockeyed for position.

      Back home in England, some called it war. John Ash wouldn't. There was little war to bands of men slaughtering unarmed civilians. No, genocide was the word Ash would use to sum up the conflicts erupting across the continent. Conflicts that didn't distinguish between men, women or children—or former British citizens.

      Ash could see why so many had stayed after independence was ceded to the people of Ghana. It was beautiful country. Those expatriates in Ghana might have given up their homeland, but the Crown still kept tabs on them, watched over them. And now that many of them had gone missing, John Ash had been sent to find out what had happened.

      Finally, he reached his destination—a remote farm in the northeast corner of the country. The owners had raised cattle in the area—a booming business thanks to the naturally-low numbers of tsetse flies in the region. But even simple farmers could be swept up in the violence raging across the country.

      He parked near the main house. It had stopped burning now. From the ashes and debris around it, he guessed the fire had been just days before. He was surprised it hadn't spread to the dry grass around the home. Maybe someone had
