Dr. Allen E. Goldenthal works and writes from his homes in New Zealand and China. As an internationally known consultant and auditor of the biopharmaceutical industry, his work has taken him across the globe, but no matter where he may be, New Zealand is always home. He is the author of the Kahana Chronicles series, uncovering the hidden influence of a family who shaped history from the shadows. This series is more than fiction—it's a personal journey, as Dr. Goldenthal is a descendant of the Kahana.


Allen Goldenthal initially trained as a veterinarian, though unlike James Herriot, never felt compelled to write about animals. Born in Canada, he sought warmer climates and found his paradise in New Zealand. His passion for research led him through academic posts at Massey University and the University of Macau, executive leadership in biopharma, and now, global auditing for drug safety. He divides time between his farm in Whangarei, New Zealand and his home in Panzhihua, China. His genealogical investigations into the Kahana family—figures long hidden by history—serve as the foundation for his Kahana Chronicles series.

America's War Against the Jews Cover

America's War Against the Jews

America’s War Against the Jews explores the persistent, evolving nature of antisemitism within the United States. From early colonial prejudice to today’s politically charged rhetoric, Dr. Goldenthal traces how anti-Jewish hatred has adapted to shifting societal norms. While criticism of Israeli policy may be legitimate, it often morphs into calls for the annihilation of the Jewish state—something no other ethnicity faces on the world stage. In doing so, anti-Zionism reveals itself not as a political stance, but as a modern mask for ancient hatred.

Through historical analysis, cultural critique, and recorded documents, the book follows the transformation of antisemitism over generations: from religious blame to accusations of elitism, from scapegoating to envy of success. The Jewish people have been condemned for remaining apart—then equally condemned for integrating. Now, their longing for a homeland is maligned as oppression. This book lays bare the contradictions, and asks a difficult question: has America truly been a safe haven, or just a more polite battlefield? The answers in the book may even surprise those Jews living in American that have never bothered to search for the truth.

INVICTUS Cover

INVICTUS

The Forgetten Jewish Rebellon Against Rome.

Book 14 of the Kahana Chronicles:Though most historians believe the Bar Kochba revolt (132-135 AD) was the last Jewish struggle against Rome resulting in the dispersion of the Jews across the globe, that is history's greatest lie. The Jews still inhabited their indigenous homeland and after another 220 years rose up once more to fight for their freedom. The was against Caesar Constantius Gallus was scrubbed from the history books as Rome politically had to push the lie that they had liberated Syria-Palestina from the Jews, and the Jewish Sanahedrin in Tiberias was either too afraid or submissive to speak up and tell the truth. INVICTUS is about the indomitable spirit of the Jewish people, who never gave up the fight for freedom and were never separated from the land that God had given them.

When a decendant of King David appears in Galilee, he is joined by Isaac of Sepphoris, considered the John the Baptist of his time. Together, he and the man they call Patricius set the Roman world on fire.

Tachyon

Tachyon

The arrow of time is immutable. Cause precedes effect. The past is sealed. Dr. Rachael Stone refuses to accept that.

Tachyon delivers a science-driven thriller that reads less like fantasy and more like a glimpse of tomorrow’s research lab. Written in the high-stakes tradition of Michael Crichton, this electrifying novel blends real physics, cutting-edge experimental theory, and the relentless ambition of modern scientific discovery into a story that feels unsettlingly possible. Her research focuses on one of the most controversial ideas in theoretical physics: tachyons—hypothetical particles capable of traveling faster than light. If they exist, they may not simply move through space… they may move through time. Most scientists dismiss the idea. Stone decides to prove them wrong. Inside the ultra-secret laboratories of Forward-Fusion, a revolutionary detector designed to capture tachyon signals begins to reveal something extraordinary. Signals appear to arrive before they are sent. Measurements contradict the very structure of causality. Data suggests the unthinkable: information may be traveling backward through time. What begins as a daring experiment rapidly evolves into a scientific earthquake.
