Saving Static

In an era of humanity’s expansion across the stars, Castor and his extraordinary partner Jist, an illegal lifeform with unique abilities, embark on a daring mission: the removal of a perilous moon. Their quest leads them to the notorious prison planet ‘Paradise,’ where Master Quillion, the sole expert capable of executing the complex and outlawed procedure, languishes for a past lunar disaster.

Escaping Paradise’s iron grip is merely the first hurdle for the intrepid duo. Hunted relentlessly by Paradise Planet security eager to recapture their fugitive, and pursued by ‘Tracer,’ an AI Homorph from the Office of Illegal Lifeforms (OIL) determined to ensnare and reprogram Jist, Castor and his companion must navigate a treacherous path through the cosmos. Their search for the indispensable mining engineer Cormand, the only lieutenant Quillion trusts, intensifies, unaware that Cormand may harbor a thirst for vengeance against Quillion for the loss of his family in the previous cataclysm.

Amidst the vastness of space, Castor and Jist’s destinies intertwine, teetering on the edge of survival as they confront the perils of their mission and the ghosts of the past.

Skimmer – Tic Tac

The Sphere of Gilgamesh is being installed on all Skimmers by Ngarra’s crew. It is a new technology that will make Xtract mining drones autonomous and able to learn group behaviour. Meanwhile, a grid buoy anomaly has appeared and becomes the focus of interest in ‘the Area’.

The mimic program has been deployed by the Chinese-owned GlobeCorpMining deep sea mineral harvester, and if combined with the sphere and its red queen sequence will take control of the grid.

During completion of overdrive trials for the alternate propulsion system installed on Skimmers a confrontation occurs between all parties.

The Methuselah Tree

Life in the quiet village of Magen in rural Surrey is turned upside down when a new motorway bypass is proposed that will cut through ancient woodland.

Callum Kemble’s decision to make a stand to protect this woodland sets off a chain of events that has major implications for the small village. Mysterious, unexplainable phenomena start happening, and the village is inundated with people trying to find an explanation for a glowing, sceptre-like object that suddenly appears close to a two-thousand-year-old yew tree growing out of a granite mound by the woodland.

Is it some type of weapon, or a portal key to another world? The military want to contain it and then study it; the scientists want to back-engineer it, and then there are the collectors of such antiquities that will do anything to get their hands on such artefacts for their own reasons.

None of them know where this is going to lead and just how much their lives would be changed forever, all started off by a small protest to protect an ancient woodland and a two-thousand-year-old yew tree.

Evacuation

After a high-stakes, nighttime chase, a flying saucer is shot down, landing intact in a freshwater lake at the East Yorkshire seaside resort of Hornsea. The authorities, under the guise of discovering a small-yield atomic bomb, evacuate the entire town.

John Phillips returns home to Hornsea, ignoring all warnings. As he explores the eerily silent town, now plunged into pitch darkness, his curiosity leads him to the freshwater lake.

From his hiding spot, John watches as authorities haul not an atomic bomb, but a UFO out of the water. Suddenly, a bright light transfers the alien pilot’s consciousness into John’s mind. The boy agrees to help the alien return to its saucer. Despite being pursued by an army of security forces equipped with state-of-the-art technology, John manages to get the alien back to its ship. However, fate has other plans. What follows is an extraordinary adventure with life-or-death consequences for John.

End Day

The story unravels in the dusty dryness of Baghdad, Iraq, which reminded Jake of Woomera, and the Colony of Clones. Living in a science-fiction reality, Dago from the Colony sees it as his duty to take control in his hero-quest to take-over as a world leader.

A spume of volcanic ash erupts at Medina and Mecca, forcing thousands of gallons of oil-enriched emissions skywards. This in turn affects Muslim pilgrims as they make their way through the Zamzam valley to the Ka’bah, Islam’s most holy site.

Adventure lies ahead, querying the tomes of antiquity. Dago had done it again:

First the bomb at the Vatican and, now, the eruption at Medina and Mecca; boundaries are crossed in an all-consuming blur. Dago’s appearance does not raise eyebrows, as a unique saviour is common to many religious beliefs. Dago believes that by unlocking the genome he and his sister, Mary, obtain their potential, becoming not only world leaders but gods. Dago sets out on his hero-quest, dragging Ator with him, boasting they are perfect organisms made for the survival of their selfish genes.

From antiquity to the modern day, the reader is engaged in a journey of discovery that could define either the future, or end in the destruction of mankind.

Bestowal

We were created by the Bestower, and placed on the world to rid it of its native life, unpleasing to Him. He gave us the living Bestowed to sustain us and replace what was there before. Thus say the priests, but now that myth is questioned: Native life has evolved; why not ourselves and the Bestowed that came with us? Are not all native, and necessary for survival? The evidence is contentious: Exterminate, or conserve? There is increasing dissension and the threat of war.

In this struggle, a policeman, a conservationist professor, a refugee, an archaeologist, an archpriest and many others play their parts. Amid the rising tension, a historian digs deep into the myth and its origins. It is, though, the development of her physicist husband’s wild cosmological theories that add to the confusion; material can be made to vanish, but to where, and how?

It is a masterful colleague who sees a practical use for the discovery, and by trial and error, the great Evaporator is developed in secret, its true purpose concealed. As rumours abound, both sides in the conflict seek to prevent its use. At the last moment, an attempt at sabotage has far-reaching consequences.

Colony of Clones

Colony of Clones, the second book in an evocative sci-fi trilogy, explores the perilous politics bubbling up in an experimental community of human clones.

Rex and Dago, cloned from iconic historical figures, grapple for control over their fledgling settlement isolated from the outside world. Brilliant outcast Ator, cloned from Galileo, challenges the colony’s questionable doctrine before being banished by its authoritarian leader.

The clones, copied from the bone shards of ‘genetically superior’ personages, grow up ingrained with a heightened sense of superiority, entitlement and independence. But as clones based on long-dead people struggle to find identity and purpose, fissures split wide open and they find themselves navigating a world that is anything but certain.

When visitor Jake is brought to the secretive colony by the increasingly paranoid Dago, he bears uneasy witness to the psychological distress catalysed by experimental human cloning devoid of ethics. Dago’s own sister Mary grapples to break free from the trauma of being a clone caught out of time.

Probing the devastating ramifications of playing god in a lab, Colony of Clones examines human cloning through an absorbing character-driven narrative full of intrigue, thought experiments, and moral complexity.

Zoom or Doom

Humanity has long dreamed of travelling and settling among the stars. The fact is that like any other star, the Sun, will one day succumb to gravity and run out of its primary fuel, hydrogen. When this happens, life on earth will become impossible, as the sun envelops our planet. Understandably then, many have considered the possibility of colonising planets beyond our solar system in order to ensure the survival of ‘Earthians’ (my moniker for humans born on planet Earth) beyond the fixed lifetime of our sun.Zoom or Doom imagines such a journey but on a far grander scale — expanding beyond our galaxy. Marx Afaro Zytan, an oddball who appears nervous while relaxed but serene when nervous, is a ruthless man and an inhabitant of planet Zist. The book follows his story, which revolves around the revolutionary scientific discovery of a special type of fuel system that can transform matter into energy. This not only enables the possibility of light-speed travel for space-ships, but intergalactic travel and even time travel.
