Produktbeschreibung

After escaping Earth with their rescued pilot, Samantha and Michael are eventually allowed to make a comfortable home for themselves on a moon in a planetary system light years from Earth.
Working their bar and grill, they are happily married and getting on with their new lives, until two agents of the Emporium walk in one busy and crowded night.
The inept pair tell Samantha and Michael that Earth has two major problems.
The first revolves around a mercenary who was abandoned by his colleagues after surviving the Area 51 ordeal many years earlier, he is now looking to take control of the underworld criminal organisations using alien technology.
The second problem has been created by a team of archaeologists who inadvertently uncovered an alien space craft, one that has a living cargo that should never be allowed to escape the ship, a ship the US and Australian governments want captured. What the ship is carrying is totally incompatible with Earth's environment. Many alien diplomats would be happy to see the human population destroyed by the cargo but are narrowly overruled.
Instead, Samantha and Michael are strong armed into returning to Earth with their pilot being the one they had rescued on their first visit to the planet. Their mission is simple; deal with the mercenary and the weapons he is going to take possession of, and eliminate the creatures the archaeologists have released, and they are not to let Earth's military machine gain control of the space craft or any weapons.
The two situations put their lives in peril on several occasions. They are forced to use their wits and experience in dealing with the two situations, but typical of Michael, it's all done ad-hoc, he has no plans as to how to carry out their task.
Bugs is the second installment of three books aimed at teenage and above readers who want fast action, humour, adventure and romance along with everything in between.

Autorenporträt

Stephen. L. West was born in the UK but moved to South Australia in the mid-sixties growing up mainly in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide. At seventeen he enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy where he learnt his trade. Whilst still serving, he married Trudi in nineteen eighty. After a ten-year career he joined the New South Wales Fire Brigades before the family, now four with two children, decided to move back to South Australia.

His writing career started in the late nineteen-eighties creating technical manuals which soon led to looking further afield and dabbling in fiction. As an amateur astronomer with a lot of interest in other sciences, he decided to write his first science fiction novel.

'I had this thing going around and around inside my head so I decided one day to get it out of there and onto paper.'

Stephen and Trudi still live in South Australia, in the mid-north and are both involved with the Country Fire Service, Stephen as a firefighter and Trudi as a financial coordinator. Their family has expanded to six grandchildren (with more to come).
