Ethan has a dream... To Reach for the Stars His research finally gives Ethan Richards hope of fulfilling his dream to reach for the stars. Developing the warp bubble drive he can now travel faster than the speed of light. Except greed forces a race to Saturn to secure the essential fuel supply for the drive.

However, what they discover poses more questions about the origins of humanity than they can answer. An exotic alien virus infects Jade and others. Certain death without a cure has Ethan staring into despair as time is running out to save her. A strange star map points to Tau Ceti. Why? On a planet orbiting Tau Ceti, Ethan finds out that humanity is not alone in the universe, nor were they originally unique. Greed again causes strife. When Jade is injured, clinging to life, Ethan must decide whether he is prepared to risk both of their lives for a chance to save hers, with startling results... for them and the future of humanity.

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.
