After five years of running from a crushing past experience, 24 year old Aaron Clarke returns to his home town of a dark and not too distant future London.
He is quickly thrust into an inevitable life of crime alongside his friends and family. A lot has changed: The Soho Syndicate has been born, a rag tag band of opportunists lead by his older brother Salem, who has succeeded leadership from their ruthless father, and taken it to new heights of organised crime and perverse vigalantism.
Aaron is thrown headlong into a world of violence, chaos and betrayal, and must fight to keep his sanity intact. As well as the lives of those around him and to keep his ever slipping grip on the life he knew before.
The events of the novel will charter Aaron's journey into the nightmarish underworld of a city tearing itself apart with gang violence, corruption and international espionage.

Agent Benjamin Ripley
This is my first fanfic- Ben is now 6 years a spy, and somehow competent. A legend around the school and the CIA, he's content with his life, but what happens when an old foe comes out of hiding and stirs up trouble? What about the new syndicate and who is the mysterious Cain? This story has Berica, Zike and old and new friends. I published this on Fanfiction.net but couldn't figure out how to add more chapters. Prepare to be kicked in the emotional balls. Warning: I've become the Uncle Rick of Spy School fanfiction, so prepare to be mad at me for the rest of your life. Thanks for reading! "It felt like I was watching someone else's life. It was like a movie. Pictures flashed around me, and I saw myself receiving an award from a man in a suit. I saw Alexander I saw myself running with Erica as a silo blew up behind us. I saw a scene where I was shaking hands with Zoe, Warren behind her. I saw Warren's betrayal. I saw the moment I realized Murray was the mole. I saw myself laughing, playing on the beach with Ashley and Nefarious. I saw me desperately trying to diffuse a bomb. I saw I saw many different things. Acts of love, hatred, betrayal. Then, I saw the deaths. I saw the death of Warren, as he took a bullet to the stomach. I saw the day I was shot too, Erica above me, screaming. I saw myself shooting Joshua Hallal in the head, and Erica crying over his body. I felt a surge of jealousy at the scene too. I saw Murray Hill's hand reach into his pocket, and take out the cyanide pill. I remember... everything." Chapter 14 Has been ranked: #1 in #spyschool #1 in #benripleyComplete
The Boy Who Wasn't Real
After three epidemics, fifteen wars and plenty of government disagreements, the world stopped numbering their years. The last recorded one was 2104. During that year, all hell broke loose. The continents started merging together, forming one giant landmass like they did when the dinosaurs were roaming around. All the countries disappeared and were replaced by sectors: Arctic, Ocean, Jungle, Desert, City, Cavern, Sky and Forest. In the very centre of the landmass, there is a small portion of land that is not claimed by any sector. That piece of land is home to one thing and one thing only. The Hollow. The Hollow is a small cottage, white-washed and red-roofed. It used to house criminals and now is occupied except for beasts that are caged in the Grotto, which is the name people have given to the basement of The Hollow. Now, since The Hollow is useless unless you need somewhere to store mythical legends, children are sent there on the seventeenth of each month to face tests to check if they are fit for living in this world. No child has ever lasted more than a few days. Until now. Eric Alastor is a thief who has no friends or family by the age of seventeen. Elisaveta Nebula is a girl who carries around knives to protect herself from the criminals crawling around her sector. Together, they will face The Hollow. Daring to walk alongside death every day, they develop a strong connection. Maybe it's just from the circumstances. Or could it have something to do with Eric's troubled past... Will they face their challenges with a smile on their face? Live to tell their story?Complete
