Dimensions
It is easy to get lost or separated while navigating through a wormhole maze, as Phil Crowe and Emily Boyle soon discover. And, stopping an extinction event from happening is just one problem Phil and Sergeant Berry contend with, as they desperately search for Navy SEALs Emily and Captain Simms in the mirages of time. But they still have to outwit Donovan, who is out hunting shadow warriors. And, if he neutralizes the elusive Mr. Smith they are his next target. “I’m a pirate, not a pilot,” Captain Avery jokes to Donovan. “I can fly anything with a rudder.” Good. Well, that certainly evens the odds. This hair-raising adventure story raises chilling questions about parallel universes, time-travel and life after death. Who created the wormhole maze? Who built the pyramid city? And, why is Captain Simms unconcerned when his team members die horrific deaths? Phil soon discovers that no-one, and nothing is what it seems; and that, if time and monsters don’t kill you, Donovan certainly will. ‘Dimensions’ is a fast-paced science-fiction love adventure of time-travel to parallel universes; with similarities to HG Well’s ‘Time Machine,’ ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ and ‘Timeline.’ It is a modern day ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ This book should appeal to young adults and science fiction enthusiasts of all nationalities and cultures, especially those that enjoy quick moving and action-packed ‘Indiana Jones’ style Sci-Fi adventure.

About the author
Peter Ness
6 books5 followersMy Heni Hani series books and Dimension are science fiction. However, my latest books are non-fiction self-help and strategy textbook like 'The tactician's guide to the galaxy'. This books lays bare all those malicious tricks used at work by your bosses and colleagues. It describes political strategy, like Machiavelli & Sun Tzu, but also includes some military strategy. There are three of these. The second book is political, military strategy & organisational change. The third book explains how to create and code strategy. For those that want to defeat fascism the first two strategy books expose all their tricks and tell you how to defeat them. These last two strategy books are finished but not yet published.
Those that have read my Heni Hani stories say that they are similar to Stephen King's books (Like Stand by Me, or ET) in many ways, but also have similarities to Colin Thiele's novels, and some sections read a bit like Hemingway prose or John Steinbeck, with aspects of the X-Files (if they feel real that's because some are based on real life experiences) and Indiana Jones tossed in (as per Heni Hani the Vimana) -- but that's because they have influenced my life more than anyone else. The biggest criticisms are that they "feel too real" and that some readers have nightmares after reading them. I agree. I did! I have another series of Heni Hani to complete (Epsilon). My son says its like the 'Star wars' trilogy, 'Dune' or 'The Lord of the rings' ... which is probably a subliminal message that its long winded and needs heavy editing. However, its not likely to be completed for some considerable time as I am too busy on other projects.
These novels are written for people who struggle to "visualize" the stories written by most famous authors and eventually just give up. The writing focuses on making images come to life. It is like "reading a movie", which many Japanese & Asian readers of Manga will appreciate; however, traditional readers will struggle with this concept and will likely trash the novels because they have never read a "reading movie" before so to them it is an "alien" concept (pun intended). It takes time to develop those skills and most people who are not highly visual may struggle to start with.
The Heni Hani stories can be read in ANY ORDER; obviously, first to last is best but it is not essential as each story gives sufficient back-ground for the reader. Plus, the first story takes some time to ramp-up, while the others are already in Indiana-Jones mode early on.
My background:
Peter Ness grew up in on a farm in Southern Australia. He left school at age fifteen to help on the farm; but, the next year coincided with a severe drought. As a result, he ended up working in a manufacturing plant for the next five years, saved his money and paid his own way through Year 12 high school and then through university where he met his Japanese wife. After graduating, Peter worked at as a geologist for Rio Tinto and later at Hancock, where he completed a science Master’s degree and then an MBA while working 80 to 120 hour weeks – which was real tough.
In 1998, they decided to move to Japan but there being no mines in central Tokyo Peter decided that it might be wise to study a Master of Commerce degree (in Finance). After working in various finance and management roles in Tokyo, Peter completed a doctorate degree at The University of Tokyo; the topic was asteroid mining, but it covered mining the moon and Mars as well.
Peter began to write the “Heni Hani” stories while studying his PHD thesis but the four novels in the “Fears of the unknown” series took another five years to complete. These books are a probably most similar to X-Files and Millenium but with sections that are very Tom Sawyerish or fast moving like Indiana Jones. He also wrote “Dimensions”, which is a story about a geologist and a group of Navy SEALS who get lost traversing the wormhole maze of parallel universes. This story has simi

Certainly Different
I sometimes so far now people's brains come up with this stuff. I'm far too logical for this story to hit a home run with me. Still, it was a good game and there are many good games without home runs. Different and fun.
