--The acclaimed Binary Cycle series, all in one volume-- The colonists escaped a ruined Earth, forsaking the remnants of a dying world. Now, two hundred years after arriving on the beautiful and bizarre planet of Taran, they are thriving once again. Until now... When famous scientist Cassidy Walker uncovers evidence that Taran is teetering on the brink of disaster--a catastrophe that mankind will not walk away from--the countdown to the next great challenge in human history begins. And they might not survive this time. Binary Cycle is a 110,000 word novel. It was originally published in three parts.
My name is Wes Davies and I write under the name WJ Davies.
I currently have three novellas set in the Silo universe available entitled The Runner, The Diver, and The Watcher. These works are inspired by Hugh Howey's bestselling WOOL series and, unbelievably, have sold over 15,000 copies since January '13.
Living in Toronto, I work for a computer software company and write in my spare time, always dreaming up the next story idea while I write my current one. I take a lot of time to edit and was lucky enough to find an amazing group of beta readers who constantly keep me on my toes.
My all original work is a novel called Binary Cycle, the first part of which is available in the kindle store. This is the story that got me into writing, and I can't wait to release the next two installments. Look for Binary Cycle: Revelations in October.
I read a lot of Sci-Fi and am amazed at the quality work other authors are putting out there right now. Some recent favourites include The Martian, Voyage, Greatfall, and Atopia Chronicles.
This is truly an exciting time to be a writer or a reader. As long as we strive to produce our best quality work, the rising tide will lift all ships. I try to release a new work every 6-8 weeks, so come join the fun. Keep in touch on twitter @wjdaviesauthor or visit my website.
Quite bad, but I felt compelled to finish it for some reason, so there must be something that pulled me in and kept me going.
After 2-3 pages, I was convinced it had been written in the 1950s (opening scene of a star-crossed "woman scientist" at a scientific meeting wearing an evening gown for some damned reason). But Google said otherwise. Then I guessed it was intended to be juvenile sci-fi in the tradition of Heinlein, but deaths and cursing soon made it clear that wasn't the case.
It's full of grammatical errors, very unlikely characters, and insults to the reader's intelligence, but again, I still finished for some reason. I guess I was rooting for the author because I felt as if the book was something like I might achieve if I tried hard.
I highly recommend this book for my Sci-fi friends. I really fell in love with the characters in this new and dangerous world. In a very small way it reminded me of the movie Avatar.
