VENGEANCE ISLAND revisited
Ebook by Geoff Nelder.
There it was, the island of Gozo, smaller than many British cities, but set like a jewel in a caerulean sea under a near-permanently blue sky. What a fantasy island for rain and grey-soaked Brits and the complications of having to fly to Malta first then a ferry hop to Gozo just added to the charm and helps keep it less busy than its neighbours.
However, such beauty belies a horrendous past. In 1551 the entire population of around 5,000 were snatched by Ottoman pirates and taken to be sold as slaves or taken to harems. My Xaghra’s Revenge novel (Now VENGEANCE ISLAND) is the only one I know that devotes a whole book to this event and follows the life of one woman, Lidia, and her little family. Stjepan became transformed from a dirt-scratching farmer, to a galley rower, sold in a desert auction in Libya and after a daring escape… spoiler!
The antagonists are the Ottoman sailors and pirates. Much research went into the real lives of Rais Dragut and Pasha. Dragut was highly educated, spoke many languages and was a slave himself for a time. Even pirates have emotions and families and I devote some pages to one in particular.
Stjepan’s wife Lidia experienced the shame and ignominy of being taken to a seraglio in Constantinople as a harem girl. She has grit though, and made friends with another slave girl to plot their escape.
Blurb: A modern woman is descended from pirates while her lover came from their abductees? Or the other way round?
Vengeance Island is set in Malta, Gozo, France, Libya, and a harem in Constantinople.
Xaghra’s Revenge ran out of time in its contract with Solstice Publishing earlier in 2020 so after a few revisions I have self-published it as Vengeance Island. An ebook at first it is galleons cheaper than its earlier incarnation at less than a dollar / pound.
If you didn’t get around to reading this gripping true tale, with added extras, now is your chance. If you live on Malta or Gozo you can read Vengeance Island and its companion ebook, Dragut’s Divergence for free on the Malta Libraries Libby App.
It’s available on Kindle Unlimited and Kindle at this link:

Opi gets a talking to
Wisdom versus Youth?
A precursor to Geoff Nelder’s Opi’s World
In the far future when a small group of humans crashed onto a Kepler20 planet strange experiences happened as you might have read in ‘Suppose We’. If you didn’t there’s still time and it isn’t needed to enjoy the following conversation.
Gaston, a short, tubby French scientist talks to Opi, a slim young woman with long platinum hair. She is about 20 but no one really knows because Gaston and his wife, Em, thought she was an imaginary friend of their son, Adah, until one day they saw her following him out of a forest.
“Dear Gaston, I am not suggesting that YOU return to Earth.”
“Good, because it took me half a millennium to get away from it, albeit mostly sleeping. Mademoiselle Opi, even though the Kepler tech can get you to Earth in mere weeks, I urge you not to go.”
She pouted such beautiful lips. “But why not? I have the urge to see the land of my forefather even if you adopted me.”
Gaston harrumphed then smiled as his nose caught a waft of the lemon Opi always exuded even though there were no lemons on the planet. “We left the planet in a mess of its own making. Coastal flooding, storms, devastating plague after plague, corruption, rampant piracy, awful, especially compared to the paradise we have here.”
“More exciting you mean. Paradise can be dull, my Gaston.”
He wagged a finger. “Methinks you have alternative motives. Something to do with those experimental squidgy little creatures, the keeps.”
She threw him her most disarming smile. “No harm can happen, surely, Gaston. They’re so small and they are herbivores.”
“So is the Yersinia Pestis plague bacteria, yet it killed billions.”
She produced three shrimp-like wrigglies from her yellow pinafore dress pocket and kissed them. “Not these harmless keeps. You know that put at least three of them together like this, they have a hive mind.”
Gaston frowned. “Do they speak to you?”
“Of course. You don’t hear them, do you? It takes empath ability as well as fine tuning. Half of their DNA came from Earth. It’s time for them to go home.”
Gaston passed a hand over them. “Mes amis, but there will be trouble. They multiply out of control. You shouldn’t go, or not with them.”
“You thought I was an imaginary friend of your son, Adah, didn’t you? And perhaps I was until something these creatures did together in that forest in an eldritch moment. I have to go to Earth, Gaston. Wish me well.”
He grunted his good wishes though Earth needed those wishes more.

I’m a guest speaker!
Help! I’ve been invited to be a ‘featured author’ at Chester’s newest bookshop – Books on the Walls – on Saturday July 12th at 2pm for about half an hour.
If you’re free and in the Chester, UK area then you could do worse than turning up to boo, hiss or buy a coffee, cake and books! The shop is at https://booksonthewalls.com/
I even feature on that website if you scroll down a while.
I am to speak about what inspired me to write and specifically SUPPOSE WE and INCREMENTAL with reading excerpts. In just half an hour! I’ve found the extract from Suppose We about botanist-astronaut Gaston being eaten by a tree; another bit where one of the crew is literally walked through by a native of the planet Kepler-20h, and my favourite short from Incremental, View From where a man wakes up on the ceiling. I have others too but heck it’s hard squeezing so much in 30 minutes. Perhaps they’ll allow an overrun. Of course they will as long as there are people there.
I hope someone comes.
I’ll be cycling there from nearly 50 miles away but don’t worry I’ll bring a change of trousers so you won’t be aghast at my lycra shorts.
In other Nelder news:
Opi’s World, the fifth and last novella in the Flying Crooked series, of which Suppose We is the first, is being released imminently.
The original title of my historical fantasy set on Gozo and Malta was Xaghra’s Revenge. It was revised and re-released as:

Vengeance is mine!
I had an interesting conversation with a real famous writer, George Saunders, mostly about what inspires us to write and how the unexpected find, sends us on another writing road.
Last night he was kind enough to give me this comment on my historical fantasy Vengeance Island set mostly on Malta and Gozo.
George Saunders
From Professor George Saunders, winner of the 2017 Booker Prize and World Fantasy Award
“I’ve had the chance to carefully go through Vengeance Island, and I have to say, it holds so much potential to connect with readers on a deep, meaningful level. Your voice, your story, it deserves to be read far and wide. I truly believe it could resonate with audiences around the world, finding its way into hearts and minds everywhere.”
Thank you, George, for such an interesting conversation and for endorsing my work.
George Saunders said I should include a Kindle link to Vengeance Island so here it is

From Orbital to Left Luggage
Booker winning Orbital by Samantha Harvey is to be the subject of Urmston Science Fiction Book Group in February 2025. Orbital is about life on the International Space Station. (ISS).
It reminded me of when I did the research for ARIA: Left Luggage, which begins with the discovery of a metallic suitcase in the struts of the ISS. Nerd that I was and am, I was keen to ensure that those
Leroy Chiao, US astronaut, wearing a Russian space suit on the ISS.
struts couldn’t be magnetic so I found a Nasa engineer’s email and asked him, Leroy Chaio. Imagine my surprise when he confirmed the struts are a thin aluminium, too thin for his liking because he was up there in orbit as we spoke! I don’t know of any other science fiction writer who’d been in live communication with an astronaut in orbit.
If this piqued your interest ARIA: LEFT LUGGAGE, which won the best SF novel by a readers’ poll and features the original premise of infectious amnesia, can be found on this universal Amazon link here:

SUPPOSE WE reel (not a dance)
SUPPOSE WE has been out for a year or two but unbelievably there are some science fiction readers who do not know about it. So I fell for an advert where a video creator proposed his services – Visdon Media. A 20 second reel for a handful of dollars. So I outlined the basic plot of SUPPOSE WE ie humans crashland on a planet only to find the natives are far in advance of Earth. So far that they ignore the hapless humans. The video was made and offered to me for corrections. Ah, Visdon used Halloween ghosts to portray the humans. No!! Fair enough, they do levitate a little and possess no discernible face but in my mind they are like vertical, amorphous-ish cylinders a bit like skittles. Friends tell me the overall effect is great and they’re not put off by the ghostlike keps though they wouldn’t like to meet one.

Suppose that instead of landing with his 150 corsair ships and attempt to capture Malta, Rais Dragut in 1551 was washed up on a present-day Malta beach? I put myself in his head and examined what I saw: women in miniskirts, men in shorts and T-shirts, cars, buses, smooth tarmac for roads, mobile phones, buildings made of the same mellow, yellow limestone but with large flawless glass windows. Overhead wires, airplanes flying overhead and ships far bigger than anything he’d seen. Dragut was a highly intelligent man, well read, cultured even though a buccaneer and often violent. He would adapt quickly, yet cling to beliefs. That’s my premise and it was great fun to research and write this sequel-ish to Vengeance Island: link http://mybook.to/VIsland

NEW EBOOK DRAGUT’S DIVERGENCE
Read all about it!
New release on Kindle ebook only because Dragut’s Divergence is two short stories with Malta as a theme.
When Gaynor and I were in Malta this year (2024) and the bus travelled past the beach that Admiral Rais Dragut supposedly landed in 1551, it made my warped brain flip. Suppose that instead of landing with his 150 corsair ships and attempt to capture Malta, he was washed up on a present-day Malta beach? I put myself in his head and examined what I saw: women in miniskirts, men in shorts and T-shirts, cars, buses, smooth tarmac for roads, mobile phones, buildings made of the same mellow, yellow limestone but with large flawless glass windows. Overhead wires, airplanes flying overhead and ships far bigger than anything he’d seen. Dragut was a highly intelligent man, well read, cultured even though a buccaneer and often violent. He would adapt quickly, yet cling to beliefs. That’s my premise and it was great fun to research and write.
Much help came from Maltese writer, John Bonello who pointed me to an ancient Muslem cemetery, the detention centre for illegal immigrants and other ideas. The extraordinary science fiction author Mark Iles critiqued my early draft as he did the accompanying short story, The Visit, which is stand alone but a kind of sequel to Vengeance Island.
I’d hoped that Dragut’s Divergence would be published as a Kindle ebook in time for Christmas and it was by a whole 24 hours! Haha.

THE VISIT
…is a short story that I hoped is literary and it starts that way in La Voulte, France. This is a town that my family did a holiday swap to decades ago and its old town on a hill topped by a chateau intrigued me. The door at the old building is represented by the illustration of this ebook. The photo is one I took but of a building in Valetta, Malta, which is fine because the story goes there and to Gozo too.

Oryx & Crake a kind of review
As a writer I often feel awkward writing reviews of established authors in case it looks like sour grapes but there’s more to praise in this book than gripe about.
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood is another post-apocalyptic story. Good, I like those. Heck, I’ve written one, ARIA: Left Luggage, and the plot of Alien Exit travels along that route. I thoroughly enjoyed the word play aspects of O&C even though its dystopia was gloomy. I felt the names for the new GM animals were too silly, Jimmy aka Snowman’s inability to think beyond alcohol-needs even before he worked for Crake, and his narrow juvenile thinking was hard to take. Oryx had too bizarre an upbringing to turn into a cutey-pie teacher for the Crakers, and the sociopathic Crake was simultaneously interesting and annoying. I didn’t really get why Jimmy killed Crake when surely his own immunity to the haemorrhage virus would apply to Crake and Oryx. Retribution for being responsible for the humanity wipeout? I don’t see Crake’s superego letting him be suicidal especially when his creations were developing. The ending was too much a copout too. I enjoyed the read but it seemed unfinished, and not just at the end.
Literary aspects. The non-linearity of the plot appeals to me greatly. Starting at the penultimate week and then to when Jimmy develops as an adult interspersed with more back story and back to the end in iterations would normally irritate me but not the way it is cleverly executed here.
The wordcraft often pulled me up, and I like that.
Examples:
‘You think I was thinking?’
‘so many crucial events take place behind people’s backs when they aren’t in a position to watch: birth and death, for instance.’
‘(Jimmy) was to cudgel his brains and spend ten-hour-days wandering the labyrinths of the thesaurus and cranking out the verbiage.‘ [describes my working day!]
‘a trio of crows perched on a rampart. They exchange a few caws, of which he is probably the subject.’
Great fridge magnets:
Take your Time, leave mine alone.
I think, therefore I spam
Siliconsciousness
Scenarios in an extinction simulation Crake and Jimmy ran:
Microbes that ate the tar in asphalt turns highways to sand.

Fact catching up with Fiction?
Is it fiction coming true? In ARIA: Left Luggage I had an alien virus on the International Space Station bringing an apocalyptic infectious amnesia to Earth. No immunity. Now something like it is happening as reported in this month’s New Scientist. All right it is bacteria that is adapting to space on the ISS whereas it was an adenovirus and alien at that in Left Luggage. Even so, it just goes to show that fiction can be caught up by reality now and then.

New book by Mark Iles!
Here we go, have you seen this? Of course not. Not yet anyway. I turn my back for a few minutes and author Mark Iles leaps in with a section of his blog tour. You see he’s written a new novel and up-and-coming UK publisher Elsewhen have published it. Really, Mark Iles is a friend and a splendid author of science fiction some of which borders on science fantasy. His talent was spotted by Solstice in earlier days. Elsewhen Press of the UK wanted his Voice in the Darkness as his latest and second in the Sundering Chronicles series. I asked him some tricky questions.
Mark Iles
Questions:
If you were able to change at a full moon, or any other kind of moon to a non-human animal, what kind would it be and why?
It would definitively be a wolf. I’ve always had a fondness for werewolves, and find that there is something incredibly romantic about it. No doubt I’m wrong, but that’s just my opinion.
I wrote such fiction years back but stopped when a member of a writing group criticised my work, saying that how could a human transfer into a wolf – given the difference in weight. A wolf, typically, could way 25kg-45kg, while an average human is around the 62.1kg.
I could see his point; however, and stopped. Then the genre came back with ‘Wolf’, ‘Dog Soldiers’, ‘Underworld’ and so forth. Such is life.
Pick a character from A Voice in the Darkness. If they were to describe you, what would they say?
It would be Rose, the female android in my tale and lover of the key character, Seethan Bodell. She’d perhaps say that I was a tall, slim(ish) military man with a bizarre and dark sense of human. Someone who deeply cherishes his friends and family, and always happy to help anyone if at all possible.
That said, he also has a terrible desire to play tricks on people and has a tendency to waffle.
It seems to me that as the author you kind of admired the new, retro version of Earth. Is this the case and why?
Most certainly, and the reason is that we have lost so much of our planet. I subscribe to the belief that mankind is like a virus, destroying much of its host as it grows. I long for the days when you could romp around the countryside and not come across other people, and for the lost days of my youth holidaying in Cornwall – when there weren’t that many holiday makers.
I do feel for the residents, it must be hellish now come the holiday season. But then, if there were a werewolf or two around, I’m sure the numbers of visitors would drop.
Hah, I can imagine the harum scarum if a few werewolves were on the loose in Cornwall! I enjoy spending a week or two at a writers’ retreat in Greece to make progress and focus on my writing. If you had a free ticket, where would you like to spend a couple of weeks on a retreat?
Like you, it would be Greece. I absolutely adore the place – the food, the people, wonderful beaches, and so much history. I’m very much a lover of ancient Greece, Rome, and tales of the Vikings.
Describe three things about Mark Iles that isn’t generally known.
Divorced twice I totally envy the people who have been happily married for many years.
My two sisters and I – like many – had a father who was extremely strict and, to be frank, more than a bit of a bully. I will say though that he shaped my life, toughened me up, so to speak – which was needed in Royal Navy career.
While in the tropics, we occasionally stopped the ships and leapt over the side into the ocean. All the while someone with a rifle was looking out for sharks. Kinda character building.
Thank you Mark.
Gardens of Earth bk 1 in the Sundering Chronicles
Bio
Born and raised in Slough, Mark Iles began studying the martial arts when he was 14 and joined the Royal Navy at the age of 17. A voracious reader he used to devour up to three paperbacks a day – primarily science fiction, fantasy, and horror – by the likes of John Wyndham, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clark, Ray Bradbury, Brian Lumley, Frank Herbert, CJ Cherryh, Stephen King, and a plethora of others. After The Falklands War Mark was drafted to Hong Kong, where he began writing features for a variety of martial arts magazines, and short stories for a wide range of markets.
In 2012 he decided to challenge himself and undertook an MA in Professional Writing, followed by Diplomas in Copywriting and Proofreading. With over 200 short stories and articles under his belt the book he wrote for his MA Project, A Pride of Lions was published by Solstice – followed by two other novels, a short story collection, and four novellas. His novel Gardens of Earth, Book I of The Sundering Chronicles, was published by Elsewhen Press in 2021. A Voice in the Darkness is the second in the series.
Now a 9th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, Mark is still involved in martial arts and has also written both a book and an app on the subject.
Blurb for A Voice in the Darkness
When children on the colony of Semillion go missing they return changed, the parents even claim they are not their offspring. Sherrif Andrews soon finds himself investigating the bizarre situation. What he discovers leads to him being recalled by the military and sent back to Earth, a place now quarantined and where colonial humans are forbidden to venture. The intention is to recruit ex-commando Seethan Bodell, who’s living with the survivors of The Sundering and the mythological creatures that now inhabit the world.
Earth is still ruled with an iron fist by the alien Spooks, but there is something else going on behind the scenes, a new and deadly threat. To succeed, Andrews and Bodell need to call on that grand tapestry of inhabitants: the shapeshifters, elves, the ravening pack of werewolves that Seethan now belongs to, and even the dead; in the hope that it will be enough to prevent an escalating situation that could so easily lead to war.
Excerpt from A Voice in the Darkness
“I’m surprised to find you out here in this wilderness,” the woman began. “Most people don’t come out this far into the woods, apart from the loggers. They say this place is haunted.”
“Are they? If many say so, perhaps that’s the case. If such things exist.”
She looked at him, the whites of her eyes stood out amidst the black eyeliner and black irises. Those eyes, were they full of… menace, or warning? Something. But she ignored his question and said, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“For me?” He snorted. “How could you even know we were coming? It’s pure chance that we’re here. We just followed your tracks: kind of hard to miss them really.”
“The cards told me that you’d come, and they never lie. They also said that you’d be seeking them.”
“Cards…them? What do you mean?”
“I use the Tzigane Tarot, the traditional cards of our people.”
Andrews hid a smile; he was used to bullshit. But her next words chilled him.
“You’ve seen them before, somewhere else.”
His eyes narrowed. “Who do you mean, them? And are they responsible for Melanie’s disappearance?”
“The Fey,” her voice was a mere whisper but those words curled around his ears.
“Who the fuck are the Fey?”
“Not who, what. But you know, don’t you, Sherrif Andrews. You saw something similar to them once, far from here. And you know what they can do.”
“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. What do these Fey want?” Andrews stuttered, suddenly having an idea what she meant. “They can’t possibly be here. There’s no way. It’s not like they have star ships or anything.”
“Not every race needs star ships. There are legends from the old days of the Fey using changelings to replace humans, but what if these aren’t simply tales to scare children in the night?”
The old woman picked up a set of cards, shuffled them and set them out on a small table before Andrews. “Touch one.”
Andrews reached forward, begrudgingly, and complied. The hand-painted masterpieces were rough against his hesitant finger.
Lloyd looked closely; never having seen any cards like these before.
Pulling back the cards she shuffled them and lay several faces up, one-by-one in front of Andrews.
“It says here that you must go on a long and dangerous journey to see something you’re afraid of, that which haunts you, in the hope they can help.” She said in a sandpaper voice.
“I hope not. All I’m after is the missing girl,” Andrews replied, looking away.
“That’s what you seek now. What torments you is something quite different but the two – that and the missing – are all interlinked. I know these plague your dreams, it makes you wake screaming in the night. And it should.”
Lloyd watched him wordlessly as Andrews tensed.
It was as if a great weight had settled onto the sherrif’s chest. He struggled to speak but finally blurted, “You’re talking about the Spooks.”
“Yes. Like I said, it’s all connected. You must go and talk to them.”
It was if a pail of icy water had been poured over him. “They won’t talk to me. They’ve told us never to return.”
Just then Andrews’ smart arm lit up, making him jump. It was the office, a male voice saying, “Hey sherrif, Mrs Robinson’s just contacted us to say that her daughter’s returned. But there’s a problem.”
“And what might that be?” Andrews rasped.
“She says that the girl looks like Mel and talks like her, but it isn’t her. She’s doing her crust and keeps saying she wants her real daughter back.”
“Okay, we’ll be back as soon as we can.” He cut the call.
“What makes you think she’s so wrong, sherrif?” The Romany woman said. “Mothers know their children, and if she’s right there’s a voice calling in the darkness somewhere, hoping and praying for help. You’ve no choice, sherrif. I know from the cards that echoes of the past plague you. They’ll continue to do so and will ruin your life unless you face them. To do that, and to save these children, you must return to Earth and face your fears.”
