Therese is Book Four of Pathways to Revenge and describes the birth and early life of Gunther, the hero of that war. Gunther is born after Therese is forced to marry Paul; a criminalised KGB operative who killed his half-brother and murdered his first wife's parents. After a year in Dar-es-Salaam, he was in Prague in 1968 and a decade later in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therese leaves Paul the day after their wedding. Pathways is based on the Trojan War. Therese's life follows that of Thetis, the mother of Achilles, her affairs with Evian (Dionysius) and Weyland (Hephaestus) and her marriage to Paul (Peleus) originate in Greek Mythology as does Paul's first marriage to Antigone, and his experiences in Africa and Prague.
