Shadows of the Stars: The Children of the Arks

Almost a thousand years after the mysterious evacuation of Planet Earth, human beings are widespread throughout the galaxy, intrepidly venturing to many distant stars. But we have become an endangered species.

On Planet Orion, stubborn survivalists seek to endure the freezing eclipse of their suns.

On Planet Midgard, an inquisitive young scientist is sent on a decisive journey of discovery.

In the vastness of space, a crew of infamous mercenaries attempt to defy the cruel inevitabilities of the void itself.

But the shadows of the stars are cast far into the interstellar abyss... We have become a highly endangered species...

If you are a fan of science fiction and fantasy, this story is for you. It is full of mystery, intrigue, suspense, action and a dash of eccentric British humour. Almost three years in the making (that includes the plans for the rest of the series), it takes inspiration from many ancient myths and legends and has also been heavily influenced by the works of Frank Herbert, Douglas Adams, J.R.R Tolkien, Terry Pratchett and Iron Maiden, to name a few (Yes, Iron Maiden! Their music was also influenced by their favourite stories).

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as a have writing it.

WARNING This book contains coarse language, brutal violence, explicit sexual situations, drug use, subversive satire and potentially disturbing imagery.

IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN OR THOSE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION.
