A Trojan Affair - The S.K.A. at Carnarvon (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A tale of zealots, scientists and scoundrels. The silent heavens stretched above a pious town in the grip of drought, has become valuable beyond measure-the fracking bounty below its feet... irresistible. When Dara, 17, half Indian and raised in Oxford, England, arrives in the heartland of a Calvinist bible belt-a place his astrophysicist mother has come to build the biggest infrastructure in the history of science, the $2.5-Billion SKA radio telescope-he becomes the lightening rod for the town's anger and suspicion of outsiders. Based on actual unfolding events, A Trojan Affair is a contemporary geopolitical thriller where science, religion, politics, greed and racism collide, tearing a community apart and setting generations against one another.

Dara might just have lit the fuse.

Autorenporträt

Born in 1964 in Cape Town, South Africa - Michael studied marketing, has never had a job, and is a successful entrepreneur. HIs first love is science and turning the complex or unpalatable into a banquet of pleasure.

In 1995 he emigrated to Southern California where he 'accidentally' (it's a long story) wound up with a book agent who sold 3 non-fiction / "how-to" titles - one on how to buy a business, 2 on how to sail.

In 2000, acting as a business consultant, he patented an online marketing system, raised money in the VC markets, and launched a company. A family tragedy brought him back home to his native Cape Town where he remains - writing full time.
