Produktbeschreibung

Xalata Orbit meets danger head-on when she leaves a troubled Earth behind to live with her father on LunarBase and attend the Hydroponics Institute of the Moon's Central Air Facility. At first, life on the Moon seems dull compared with her home planet, but it is not long before she and her new friend, Melody Fret, are fighting a shadowy enemy for their freedom and battling a conspiracy that could destroy the Earth and all its inhabitants.

What horrors are lurking in the derelict Habitat 14 on Farside?

Why does the slimy Mr Fark take such an interest in the girls' security?

What's the huge secret that Xalata's father carries with him? How can anyone stop an indestructible creature that looks set to destroy the LunarBase?

And who are the Asttarians and why do they want to change humans' lives for ever?

Xalata Orbit and Melody Fret - The Hammer of Asttar is a science fiction thriller for teenagers and young adults, set in a distant future where disease and terrorism have forced communities to live in secure isolation. The alternative? Populate the planets. But, someone's out to stop people leaving Earth.

Autorenporträt

Nick Evans is a Poole-based author who has a background in technical writing. Some years ago he wrote two books in a scifi series for children, entitled "Xalata Orbit and Melody Fret". He's also been working on a third one to complete the trilogy. However, his time in the past couple of years has been taken in writing his memoir, "A Glass Darkly", which explores the early death of his parents and the impact it had on him. Despite the subject matter, it's a heartwarming read which has been warmly welcomed.

During his extensive career in sales and marketing, he has also had a sideline as a freelance journalist, writing for The Guardian, The Times Educational Supplement and a range of magazines in education, technology and business. He has published books on the use of computers in schools and on building businesses through research.

He is now largely retired from the company - Extramile Digital - that he and his wife set up in April 2000. It's recently celebrated a landmark birthday and continues to go from strength to strength. Meanwhile, he continues writing and enjoying the wonders of the South Coast. His current project is a follow-up to "A Glass Darkly".
