An ex-Spitfire pilot is dragged into a race against a shadowy government agency to unlock the secrets of the lost empire of Atlantis...

In post-war 1952, the good guys are supposed to have won. But not everything is as it seems when ex-Spitfire pilot Captain Samantha Moxley is dragged into a fight against the shadowy US government agency she used to work for. Now, with former Nazis and otherworldly monsters on her trail, Captain Moxley is forced into protecting her archaeologist sister in a race to retrieve two ancient keys that will unlock the secrets of a long-lost empire - to ensure a civilisation-destroying weapon doesn't fall into the wrong hands. But what will she have to sacrifice to save the world?

Dan is a writer, editor, and vastly overqualified archaeologist who has lived everywhere from London to Hertfordshire to Manchester to Sydney, which explains the panic in his eyes anytime someone asks where are you from? . Thankfully he is now settled in the rolling green hills of the Peak District with his human family and fluffy sidekicks Indy and Maverick, where he writes books, screenplays and comics.

Reviews for Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire

A serious creative talent and all-round nice guy. It's a giddy, white-knuckled ride to the very end. Dan Hanks delivers a rip-roaring pulp adventure full of supernatural artefacts and boobytraps, insurmountable odds, and irredeemable villains. So cinematic, you can taste the buttered popcorn. Move over Indiana Jones, Captain Moxley has arrived and she won't ask you twice! Can a book at once beg for a prequel as much as a sequel? Buckle up and enjoy the ride! Hanks packs his pulpy, energetic debut with gritty violence, snazzy super-science, and high-flying adventure. Hanks forces us to suspend reality, embrace the chaotic ride and revel in the fun-factor. Rolls along at break-neck pace...like a novelisation of a hit movie you never saw - Starburst Magazine
