The Antaran Codex - Preview!
Hi guys
The new book is almost ready. The planned release date is 12 July 2014. Here is a little introduction to Sirius Kade and The Antaran Codex.
THE ANTARAN CODEX
As mankind nears its goal of galactic citizenship, Sirius Kade, trader and Earth Intelligence Service deep cover agent, learns that wealthy and powerful leaders from across Mapped Space are vying for control of an alien relic they believe is the key to untold riches – unaware they are being deceived.
Sirius soon finds himself entangled in an interstellar plot to make humanity a cosmic outcast, denying it its place as the newest member of the vast and ancient community that has governed the galaxy for eons.
With mankind’s fate in the balance, Sirius must overcome ruthless alien adversaries and deadly human rivals as he seeks to discover the secret of The Antaran Codex and safeguard man’s future among the stars.

The Warrior Worlds - Now Available
Greetings Mapped Spacers!
THE WARRIOR WORLDS is finally here!
I know it's been a long wait. I must be the slowest SF author on planet Earth, but producing a quality work takes a lot of time. So, thank you for your patience.
This week, Kirkus Reviews, the USA's oldest and most respected publishing industry reviewer, selected The Warrior Worlds for inclusion in its:
BEST INDIE BOOKS OF 2022
This list is of the top 100 Indie novels Kirkus reviewed in America this year across all genres. Kirkus review many thousands of novels each year, so it's a very tough list to make, especially for science fiction.
This recognition comes after Kirkus awarded The Warrior Worlds the coveted Kirkus Star earlier this year, an award given to books of 'exceptional merit', and also a rare achievement for a science fiction novel.
This is the second of my books to receive the double of a Kirkus Star and selection for the Best of the Year list, the last time being back in 2016 for The Mothersea.
If you like The Warrior Worlds, please give it a rating and a few words of endorsement on Amazon. Every rating helps spread the word.
How to buy The Warrior Worlds
The book is now available on Amazon. Links to the various markets can be found on my website at the following address:

Enjoy. I look forward to reading your comments on Amazon. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
