Alien Secrets (Flight of the Kestrel Book 2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

On a failed mission to look for a secret weapon, Shom Reuel of the Kestrel saves a man twice. He looks human, apart from the lump on his forehead. It seems everyone wants him, but is he a friend or a deadly enemy? And will the shock of his identity cause Reuel to reveal his people's greatest secret?

On the way the crew have to deal with space battles, smugglers and fighting colonists. All while trying to fulfil two different missions. And they are one crewman short, which is a lot for a crew of eleven. How will they cope if they lose any more crew?

If you're a fan of stories like Star Trek and Firefly you'll love this book. This is the second exciting adventure for the Kestrel and her crew, but you don't need to have read Intruders (book one) in order to enjoy this one.

Amazon Review:
Many science fiction stories concentrate on the space innovations of new worlds and forget about the characters. Thomas uses the story as a vehicle for character interaction which makes it an all round cracking read. It's a good story, descriptive and imaginative. Well worth reading. I loved it.

Autorenporträt

Writing poetry and making up stories since I was a child, I only started to write seriously when my children were grown. My main ambition is to write science fiction, but along the way I got fascinated by local history and distracted by a major stroke. I wrote poetry about my stroke and spent my recovery writing a local history book. Taking early retirement gave me the chance to concentrate on my writing. I have been married for over 45 years, with 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren.

I had already written up my research into the de Braose family before my stroke, but the long hours in hospital gave me time to think about it in detail. Once I came home, rather than sitting doing nothing, I rewrote the book, and taught myself to format and publish in both ebook and print. My husband contacted the art department of the local university, who helped me find a wonderful artist to illustrate my books.

Alina, The White Lady of Oystermouth came out as an ebook and in print for the locals and the tourist market at Easter 2012 and it's success gave me the impetus to write another, Broken Reed: The Lords of Gower and King John, which came out in September 2013.

The 800th anniversary of Magna Carta in 2015 led me to adapt and enlarge my Broken Reed book and produce The Magna Carta Story: The Layman's Guide to the Great Charter. This came out in May 2015.

During my research I found other fascinating stories which are not long enough for a book, so I collected them together into Medieval Gower Stories, published in October 2017.

I am now working on another great story from Gower medieval history: Swansea Miracle.

When I was in hospital I wrote a flood of poetry, about my stroke, my therapy, my faith, and random things like the rain outside my window. I have now published them as an ebook and print, My Stroke of Inspiration. 22 poems in all: verse, doggerel, and blank verse. The poems talk about suffering and patience, therapy and faith, and are surprisingly cheerful. If you are a stroke survivor or know someone who is, or just enjoy poetry, these poems will comfort, encourage and inspire you.

There is also a Christian non fiction book, Blinded by the Light, warning of the traps Christians can fall into, published in February 2020.

I continue to work on my recovery from the stroke, and although I am disabled I lead a very busy life. I am involved in my church and active on social media. I ...
