A double murder, a scapegoat, a conspiracy threatening a government's political future. When a duke and duchess are murdered on the planet Franconia and a Cetusian is charged with the crime, he appeals to the Galactic Confederation as a last resort. Can the true murderer be brought to justice? And what is the motive? Chooli, recently recruited to the Galactic Inteligence Agency, teams up with her partner, Alex, to investigate the crime on the luxurious planet of luxury and decadence - one that has dark secrets. Ignoring warnings to stop their investigation, Chooli is kidnapped, the pursuit now personal for Alex, as he battles against time and unknown opponents to save her. When Chooli escapes her captors, she finds herself in the middle of a war when she is recaptured and stumbles on a monumental conspiracy that she must stop at all cost. Can Alex rescue Chooli in time? Can they both bring the mastermind behind it to justice? And what will it ultimately cost them both?
Autorenporträt
I'm a dreamer...always have been. I have dreamed of flying to the stars since I was a child, looking up at the Milky Way on a moonless and cloudless winter's night, wondering what's out there. I started writing in 2016 and now write full time. Ten published books later, I'm still writing strong with many more stories in my head for others to enjoy. My stories revolve around science fiction, primarily space based stories with as strong an element of hard science as I can place into the stories. This means they usually occur in the near future (next one to two hundred years). But I do delve into the fantastic sci fi for stories of intrigue and adventure other than hard science based ones. Before taking up writing, I undertook chemical engineering in the steel industry for 35 years. So I now write, drawing on my many experiences in exotic places throughout my working life. These were incredible at times! I also draw on many other experiences. Some are funny and interesting. Being an avid reader, I read almost anything. It is common for me to read three or four books at the same time on completely differing topics, both fiction and non-fiction. I mainly enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy books, my favorite authors being Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and J.R.R. Tolkien. I also enjoy crime mysteries. Ancient and medieval history in Europe fascinate me and I use extrapolated facts from this history in my stories at times. Cosmology, general relativity and quantum physics intrigue me. New concepts and understanding continually develop in these fields. This is exciting to me and is the way of the future. Humanity is finally escaping the shackles of Earth and seriously reaching out into space. I rarely use aliens in my stories as the aliens I encounter in the stories I read are usually humans dressed up as aliens. So why not use humans. I do delve into genetic engineering. That is a realistic scientific development worth exploring in science fiction. You can get to know me better by viewing my website and subscribing to my emails, where I provide more information on my activities and explore interesting topics. Or follow me on Facebook. I live in Wollongong, Australia with my wife and family.
