Produktbeschreibung
By the close of our century, the Lagrange Archipelago is clinically free of mental illness. When three notable colonists succumb to madness and death, the established order is threatened. The International Space Agency sends Inspector Charles Franklin Price and Dr Sybil McCreery to determine the precise origin and meaning of these events. At every turn, they are hindered by the enigmatic leader of the Lagrange Platform, Ching-shan, and his Court. Why? They cannot fathom. Only when they explore the dark worlds of physics and psyche do they find the ultimate truth of the Lagrange system's existence--where experiments into matter-antimatter conversion are not just the launching place for mankind into interstellar space, but the terminus for his terrifying encounter with something thoroughly alien to his spirit and species.

Autorenporträt
The author has led a varied career, working by turns as a school teacher and university tutor in English history; a heavy truck driver, manual labourer; landscaper and gardener; and, presently, as a small business owner. He has a PhD in Modern English History and Literature and has published on the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the landed society, 1688-1832. His interest in science fiction, fantasy and horror has been crucial to his development as a writer of fiction and nonfiction. When not reading and writing, he enjoys exercising, country walks and sightseeing. He is encouraged to try new things by his less-conservative companion, Debra, and their extended family.
