Iona Portal: Book One of the Synaxis Chronicles
Robert David MacNeil is an author, wine-lover, and investigator of things supernatural.  Over the last twenty years he's traveled to 31 nations teaching on angels, demons, and supernatural encounters.   His travels have taken him from the steppes of Mongolia to the jungles of Thailand, and from the Eskimo villages of Northwest Alaska to le fin del mundo, the “end of the world,” at the tip of South America. Robert loves science fiction and suspense thrillers, and is a student of history–especially ancient Greece, Rome and medieval Europe.  He's particularly fascinated with Patrick, Columba, and the ancient Celts of Ireland and Scotland.  The Celtic monks had a very special relationship with the angels.  They also loved beer and invented whiskey.  The Irish really did save civilization. Robert has authored five non-fiction books under a different pen-name.  IONA PORTAL is his first novel.  He's presently working on the sequel, IONA STRONGHOLD.
