Produktbeschreibung

The Joint Space Exploration Programme salvages an alien spaceship at Titan to reverse-engineer its FTL drive. Onboard are 33 alien children, asleep in a secure room - with a dead alien of a different species outside.

After revival the children's leader, Ayar, must find out what happened to the five pregnant Zarduthi warriors, including his mother, who were assigned to protect the ship and its children. Where are they? Meanwhile the warriors of clan Bekel went to Declain to defend its inhabitants against the Voth, who enslaved the Kiai, their former allies.

Earth's World President separates the children, has them fostered with JSEP families, and forbids them to communicate or meet. And the Neoluddites terror group will stop at nothing to acquire a pristine planet to colonise.

Against these odds, how can Ayar and his friends find out what happened to their parents?

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.
