Lack

As Earth’s biome crumbles, humanity fails to develop the technologies necessary to stop an impending climate disaster. Faced with widespread starvation and environmental ruin, a radical faction seeks to preserve a segment of humankind by unleashing a deadly virus, targeting the vast heterosexual majority in a drastic attempt to reduce the population and save the planet.

However, this extreme measure falls short of halting the escalating environmental catastrophe. With the planet deteriorating rapidly, the remnants of humanity embark on a daring exodus. They set off on a 6,000-year journey to the nearest habitable planet outside our solar system. This epic voyage, devoid of star or warp drive, demands a completely self-sustaining environment, where everything, including the colonists themselves, must be recycled.

Amidst this backdrop, one man finds himself an outsider on this formidable journey, constrained by strict rules governing all aspects of life, including reproduction, which is meticulously controlled to preserve the colony’s genetic health. Defying these regulations, he forms a clandestine relationship, leading to the conception of an unauthorized child. This grave breach of protocol poses a moral dilemma for the crew: how should they deal with this infraction, and what consequences will their decision have for the future of their fragile society? This narrative explores the complexities of survival, ethics, and human relationships in the face of a daunting interstellar challenge.

Starship-101

Starship-101 successfully landed on Proxima Centauri-b about twenty years ago, marking humanity’s first interstellar settlement. But with radio messages taking over four years to traverse the vast darkness of space, this fledgling colony has been isolated from Earth. Enter the Clason twins – Tarvin and Harden – the galaxy’s preeminent Superposition Navigators. These brothers can bend the quantum space-time continuum to their will, instantaneously transporting people and cargo across the stars. To revive supply lines and reintegrate Proxima Centauri b into humanity’s network of trade, the Clasons have been contracted to lead a modern resupply mission. Their quantum technology will provide the colony with the latest gadgets and gizmos from home. And the Navigators have another task – returning Starship-101 itself. That aging relic is now a valuable antique, the first testimony that humans can thrive beyond our solar cradle. Join the Clason twins as they quantum-jump across the cosmos on this historic mission of reconnection!

Colony of Clones

Colony of Clones, the second book in an evocative sci-fi trilogy, explores the perilous politics bubbling up in an experimental community of human clones.

Rex and Dago, cloned from iconic historical figures, grapple for control over their fledgling settlement isolated from the outside world. Brilliant outcast Ator, cloned from Galileo, challenges the colony’s questionable doctrine before being banished by its authoritarian leader.

The clones, copied from the bone shards of ‘genetically superior’ personages, grow up ingrained with a heightened sense of superiority, entitlement and independence. But as clones based on long-dead people struggle to find identity and purpose, fissures split wide open and they find themselves navigating a world that is anything but certain.

When visitor Jake is brought to the secretive colony by the increasingly paranoid Dago, he bears uneasy witness to the psychological distress catalysed by experimental human cloning devoid of ethics. Dago’s own sister Mary grapples to break free from the trauma of being a clone caught out of time.

Probing the devastating ramifications of playing god in a lab, Colony of Clones examines human cloning through an absorbing character-driven narrative full of intrigue, thought experiments, and moral complexity.

Bestowal

We were created by the Bestower, and placed on the world to rid it of its native life, unpleasing to Him. He gave us the living Bestowed to sustain us and replace what was there before. Thus say the priests, but now that myth is questioned: Native life has evolved; why not ourselves and the Bestowed that came with us? Are not all native, and necessary for survival? The evidence is contentious: Exterminate, or conserve? There is increasing dissension and the threat of war.

In this struggle, a policeman, a conservationist professor, a refugee, an archaeologist, an archpriest and many others play their parts. Amid the rising tension, a historian digs deep into the myth and its origins. It is, though, the development of her physicist husband’s wild cosmological theories that add to the confusion; material can be made to vanish, but to where, and how?

It is a masterful colleague who sees a practical use for the discovery, and by trial and error, the great Evaporator is developed in secret, its true purpose concealed. As rumours abound, both sides in the conflict seek to prevent its use. At the last moment, an attempt at sabotage has far-reaching consequences.

The Rudra Chronicles: The Endless Knight

Prepare to be thrust into the heart of darkness as the gripping saga of The Endless Knight unfolds. Building upon the notorious legacy of ‘the devil’s haven,’ our journey commences within the impenetrable walls of a clandestine maximum-security prison concealed deep in the desolate Nevada desert. Here, inmates undergo unspeakable transformations, their bodies turned into brutal cyborgs, vessels intended to be possessed by hordes of demonic entities. Unbeknownst to the world, the prison’s very warden is a powerful demon prince in disguise, an architect of sinister plans.

Fuelling the warden’s malevolent ambitions is the genius intellect of a deceased Nazi professor, his consciousness preserved within a bombproof capsule, his brain floating amidst an array of war machine robotic bodies.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes – Star Cluster

In the not-too-distant future a small band of colleagues set out on a trek across the Himalayas.

All goes well and our band of adventurers begin to knit together as a team enjoying meeting new people and activities such as white-water rafting, mountaineering, and skiing. It is while participating in these activities that a disaster strikes that almost brings the trek to a fatal end saved by the intervention of monks who possess a mystifying cure.

The group decide to conceal their findings choosing to abandon one adventure to that of exploring this new world. They soon discover that the planet is one of a twin that orbits a star, part of a small cluster which they call ‘The Five Loaves and Two Fishes’. The planet no longer has animal life which became extinct sometime in the past due to a snowball period in the planet’s history. They decide to front their project by creating a seed bank to enable them to introduce earth biological species to Newearth.

One enigma after another has to be overcome requiring new members to be added to the team until suspicion is aroused and a diplomatic deal has to be made. This grants the team freedom to further expand the scientific expedition until its numbers exceed ten thousand.
