Beyond The Horizon
Beyond the Horizon features intrigue aplenty in three separate challenging quests, each starting in Australia but sending our characters overseas - often far away – as they strive to fulfil their demanding goals.
Into Thin Air takes high school teacher Alex Deverell to the other side of the globe for a school reunion, where he quickly plunges into a frantic search to solve the shocking mystery disappearance of one of his teenage students twenty-five years before.
With Surf Break, Private Investigator Gary Bishop’s bid to help a financially-troubled deserted wife soon translates into an undercover operation confronting high-level embezzlement and deceit foisted on one of our closest neighbours.
Retribution sees government security officers Joshua and Rachael Kovacs, hot on the trail of a massive terrorist plot, jet across the Pacific Ocean as they pull out all stops to bring a ruthless gang of international criminals to justice.
How can such desperate quests possibly succeed, with all the odds stacked against them?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“In Beyond the Horizon, Ray Keipert invites readers on three compelling and intellectually engaging journeys. Each story - actually, a short novel - is meticulously researched, offering plausible and immersive plots that maintain a brisk and captivating pace.
Ray Keipert’s prose is enriched by his deliberate use of seldom-seen vocabulary, seamlessly woven into vivid and contextually relevant narratives—making the reading experience linguistically rewarding.
The characters are sharply drawn, with a clear moral contrast at the heart of each tale. Ray Keipert portrays individuals driven by self-interest and ambition, often employing questionable means to achieve their goals. This stands in stark opposition to characters of integrity, whose actions are guided by altruism and a desire to serve others. The tension between these opposing forces adds depth to the storytelling.
I found the compact packaging of each of these journeys in the short story genre made them impossible to put down and enjoyably consumed in a single sitting.” - Rhonda
