• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The young crew of the Bekel and their human friends have made it to polluted and degraded Declain to find their parents. But they are now trapped in the Zeret-Khachav system between the Voth and the pursuit from Earth, with fleet commander Red Hempel following her own agenda.

Rumours of a high-level Kiai plot to overthrow the Voth have circulated for some time, especially on the space station - base of the Voth fleet - in low Declain orbit. The leader of the Kiai, Chebbu Restiq, periodically organises the Games, a gladiatorial contest that gives the Voth the bloodthirsty entertainment they crave.

On Earth, the Neoluddites pursue the acquisition of a pristine planet for colonisation.

And what are Zarduthi ships the Velakta and the Kemeen doing in the Declaini system? With faction juxtaposed against faction, the stakes for survival couldn't be higher.

Autorenporträt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Helen Claire Gould has been writing since her teens, having read her first two Science Fiction novels at the age of nine. At the Peterborough SF Club, where she met her husband, she contributed to the club fanzine A Change of Zinery. After suffering some miscarriages in 1992 she began writing for therapeutic reasons, joining Orbiters (SF postal writing workshops) and setting up the Peterborough Science Fiction Writers' Group. She edited two small press collections of short fiction, Shadows on a Broken Wall and Mother Milk, Father Flywheel, organised a weekend workshop on writing for comics, and had book reviews published in the BSFA review magazine, Vector.

Returning to full-time education in 1995, Helen graduated in Geology and Planetary science in 2000, teaching Geology and Creative Writing evening classes, and editing further collections of short fiction by her Creative Writing students. In 2013 she organised and ran a series of writers' workshops for the Peterborough Arts Festival.

Floodtide was Helen's first published novel, and was set in her own fictional universe. The Stallion is an ecological fantasy loosely based in that universe. She... is a collection of original short stories, not based in that universe, with a background theme of fertility and motherhood.
