Annihilation of a Planet III

An arc of light across the sky and shots fired from a U.S. Navy Blue Angel F/A-18 supersonic hornet fail to collide; the light vanishes from the sky, and the light energy of the android Lawrence streaks to the earth and into the labs of C&L Automation, straight to the alien disc brought previously from Mars.

Dr. Paul Linsdale, unaware of Lawrence’s return, celebrates the birth of his son, Lawrence Love Linsdale, and goes to congress to request approval and funding for a project that will quell the dangerous supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park.

Congress gives the go-ahead, and for nine years the project proceeds. A ring of 1,000 manmade geysers operate to help Old Faithful bring an end to the supervolcano.

Dr. Linsdale’s son, visiting C&L and exploring on his own, happens upon the alien disk. There he is enlisted by his namesake, Lawrence, to help him flee the planet he has saved twice. Now he seeks only to live in peace, far beyond the Milky Way, with Lilah, the elder care robot who loves him.

Is a nine-year-old boy up to the task? Can Lawrence finally succeed in his quest for true love? More important for Earth, can the Yellowstone be saved?

Antonion Borges leads us from the historical roots of mankind to the far reaches of an unknown time and space. Interspersed with the quests of Linsdale and Lawrence, TV news broadcasts offer a glimpse into life in 2262.

What happens when humans discover that they are not alone in the vastness of the Universe?
Theodore Newsome’s space cadet training is abruptly cut short not far from completion. That is one of the first consequences. He is thrown in at the deep end along with three of his fellow space cadets. It is a deep end that could be bottomless.
Contact with aliens was not meant to be like this, especially as a threat to an alien race could soon become a threat to the human race.

A Decent Man

Set in 2025, Luke steps in to help a young woman getting harassed in a club, only to be brutally beaten up for his troubles, before a video of his heroics goes viral and he becomes a role model to millions. It should be a happy ending, but Luke soon tires of being labelled a “Decent Man” and after a drunken online rant, where he declares that “he will no longer be dating women”, he unwittingly starts a male empowerment movement. Now aided by Vaughan 2Lose, a middle-aged podcaster, he founds Mithras, while media mogul, Alex McDonald and self-styled conscience of London, Jake O’Callaghan join forces to plot his downfall. Despite this, armies of men now follow Luke’s new creed of “emotional self-sufficiency freed from the constraints of the female gaze” and after “No women February” and “The Summer of Bruv”, it seems that Mexit (male exit) is fast becoming the new reality and 200,000 years of romance may be coming to an end. Or is it? Conspiracies, bomb plots and an accidental orgy all follow, while a chance meeting in the street causes further complications until Luke reaches a final conclusion.
