Some ten thousand years ago, Earth was visited by beings from another planet in the Barnard's Star system. The Babylonians recorded that beings they called the Oannes were amphibious creatures who came to Earth for the welfare of the human race. The historian Hellandus describes them as having fishlike features but the head, feet, and arms of a man. They instructed humans in everything a civilized nation should know. They built a city beneath Antarctica near the Davis Sea and have lived there peacefully and secretly ever since. But now a rogue Dwarf Star called Zarama threatens the very existence of both Earth and the home planet, Nazmos. Their mythology predicts that a being from another planet will avert disaster. Enter Ashley Bonner into this scenario. He has been granted special gifts, and the Oannes think he may be the predicted one. Can Ashley really prevail against a star a third more massive than the sun? This is the story of Ashley's development to manhood from age four to seventy and his ultimate sacrifice to save both worlds. -C. J. Harvey

Autorenporträt
C J Harvey was born in 1940 in Peshawar in the North West Frontier Province of then British India. He went to English-run boarding schools till the age of sixteen and continued his education at university to graduate in Mechanical Engineering in 1962 from the Peshawar University in Pakistan. His working life started as part of the maintenance team in a Hydro-Electric Power Station for seven years before he emigrated to Birmingham in England in 1970 with his wife and infant daughters. He then joined the British Steel Works at Bromford in Birmingham that same year as a Work Study Engineer and worked his way up to Safety Adviser and Training Officer. He took early retirement in 1993 when the works was shutdown. He has always maintained an interest in physics and cosmology with a wide ranging study of books by the world's prominent physicists such as Einstein, George Gamow, Narlikar, Otto Frisch, Schrödinger, John Gibbin, Michio Kaku etc to name a few. Out of all this he developed his own concept for the 'Life Cycle' of our universe in his 'Seven Circles Theory' but this remains unpublished. He finally decided on a work of science fiction but with factual science included where relevant. Pink Knight is the result of twelve years of researched writing and will probably be his only venture into the writing field.
