Guy Tresanton and his business partner-turned new wife Rose have defeated the Teacher and the Professor, but curious activity in Venice and in the Caribbean suggests that their toughest battle may be yet to come.

The exciting, unpredictable plot takes Guy and Rose, along with other memorable characters, to all corners of the globe, from the Middle East to Central America, from Gibraltar to Paraguay, in search of the truth. Along the way, they will face grave danger, heinous villains, and shady conspiracies even greater and more terrible than they could have imagined. 'Beyond Nations' is an epic and gripping historical thriller, full of political intrigue, forgotten histories, and globetrotting adventure.

Being interested in both Orthodox spirituality and post-Roman history, I cast about for a volume presenting all that is known to us about one of the most famous and influential figures of the 5th century, Saint Germanus, Bishop of Auxerre: and finding none, have dared distill into one booklet the works of those scholars who have cast light upon one aspect or other of St Germanus` life and works.We know more of him than of St David, St Patrick, Arthur, or any other figures of the Age of Saints, because of the distinct impression he made upon his contemporaries. He is known to have visited the Isle of Britain at least once, if not twice: and his fame spread far, permeating especially into the collective memory of my own Welsh nation, amongst others. Our forefathers delighted in talk of his deeds, reminding each other of his aid and leadership in trying times.We have inherited great respect towards him, consecrating many churches and wells to God in his name and naming both sons and places after him.
