The Perihelix

Beschreibung

Asteroid miners Big Pete and the Swede finish their shift with a near-fatal accident, so all they want is some rest. But why are the Pavanians dogging their tracks, and who keeps sending them messages from Bartlelski, a planet none of them know. Aramintha, Dolores and Maggie set out with the miners to discover what's going on, only to be left in the lurch when the miners are kidnapped. While the men are forced to search for clues to a legend, the girls have to learn how to pilot a spacecraft, or perish. The Perihelix is the first book of the Viridian series, a proposed trilogy. It's a race around the Alpha Quadrant to find pieces of a legendary weapon which will free the enslaved and deliver defeat to the enemies of the righteous.

Autor

Jemima Pett has been living in a world of her own for many years. Writing stories since she was eight, drawing maps of fantasy islands with train systems and timetables at ten. Unfortunately no-one wanted a fantasy island designer, so she tried a few careers, getting great experiences in business, environmental research and social work. She finally got back to building her own worlds, and wrote about them. Her business background enabled her to become an independent author, responsible for her own publications.

Her first series, the Princelings of the East, mystery adventures for advanced readers set in a world of tunnels and castles entirely populated by guinea pigs, is now complete. The tenth and final book, Princelings Revolution, came out in October 2020. Jemima does chapter illustrations for these. She has also edited two volumes of Christmas stories for young readers, the BookElves Anthologies, and her father's memoirs White Water Landings, about the Imperial Airways flying boat service in Africa. She has compiled four collections of flash fiction tales, publishing in the first half of 2021. She is now writing the third in her science fiction series set in the Viridian System, in which the aliens include sentient trees.

Jemima lived in a village in Norfolk with her guinea pigs, the first of whom, Fred, George, Victor and Hugo, provided the inspiration for her first stories, The Princelings of the East. She is now living in Hampshire, writing science fiction for grown-ups, hatching plans for a new series, and writing more short stories for anthologies.
