Does your life really flash before your eyes when death hovers close? Calum wondered as he fought the onrushing horde. His actions purely instinctive, his mind was free to recall the path to his current predicament... He had his perfect job: he was a Planetary Ranger on Koralia in the remote Dragon's Reach area of the galaxy. The planet's flora and fauna may have been hostile, but he fitted in well with his fellow rangers, and had ready access to the solitude he frequently craved.

Does your life really flash before your eyes when death hovers close? Calum wondered as he fought the onrushing horde. His actions purely instinctive, his mind was free to recall the path to his current predicament... He had his perfect job: he was a Planetary Ranger on Koralia in the remote Dragon's Reach area of the galaxy. The planet's flora and fauna may have been hostile, but he fitted in well with his fellow rangers, and had ready access to the solitude he frequently craved. Then he'd been asked to give a survival course to a motley group of disaffected cadets, none of whom had much in common with him or each other. He felt ill-equipped to deal with their teenage tantrums and outright hostility. And that was just the start, as he and his team of misfits faced real threats to their survival from poachers, and now from a trans-dimensional invasion force, with the aid only of a Combat Archaeologist and her team of intelligent cats, representatives of the life he had hoped to avoid. The Coral Planet is the first book in a Science Fiction epic of struggle, terror and danger set in a galaxy shared by the Eranian Empire, the Terran Union, the Aelumi Confederacy and their many foes.
Autorenporträt
Paul Sims spent his working life designing and developing software, and his leisure time reading (mainly fantasy and science fiction), playing games (primarily of the role-playing variety, but with occasional forays into table-top and electronic recreations), and solving puzzles. He has been an avid collector of American comics since his youth, and has amassed over 30,000 items, most of which are of the Marvel imprint. He is, by nature, a storyteller, and has, both shortly before and since his retirement, indulged his appetite for writing. He and his long-suffering wife are currently the servants of a trio of felines who are named, as were their many predecessors after characters from Shakespeare. Robert Warr was born in the South of Africa on New Year's Day, a fact that was reported in the local paper. This was his last brush with any type of fame. A good education was followed, eventually, by an engineering degree, and having tried the army and the police force (as a reservist in both cases), he went into the world of industry. This industrial career was mercifully cut short following an accident while playing cricket in India. As a part of his physiotherapy, he started writing again and found a satisfaction in fiction that no management meeting could ever match. Having had animals all his life, he is currently owned by a Bengal who graciously shares his time with a Labrador and a ginger tom.
