This page updated on 1/1/23.

Of the 3 new authors, Mark Hansom, Jack Mann, and R R Ryan, the identity of Jack mann is the most well known- E. Charles Vivian.

If you are not familiar with Jack Mann's Psychic Detective Gees, there is a chronological order to his books and the series. Although the series can be read out of order, Mann still references back to past characters and cases- which can be somewhat confusing. Also, his references to past peoples and civlizations can get the reader a little lost. So, below is a guide to help the new reader to get through the books a little easier.

Not all of the "Gee's" books have a supernatural theme- Gee's Frist Case is basically the setup for the rest of the Gee's Novels. Pretty much, begining with "Maker of Shadows", the Atlantean influence is felt. Around the 1880's, the Theosophist Idea was that Atlanteans where a race of wizards and reminents of their society, Merlin the Wizard for example, were still an influence in modern times.
