Ripper's World: Ripper Fights On (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ripper Lee, long time veteran of the televised fight circuits survived the viral Blight which wiped out billions of people around the globe. The intention had been to genetically modify humans to eradicate disease and create useful categories of workers who would fit neatly into a global system for generating ever-increasing wealth. Among the modified survivors, there were an unmodified few, like Ripper. Some unmodified survivors found it hard to scratch a living in the new society, others joined the Rebs, and some like Ripper remained fiercely independent. Vanessa Trent, CEO of Viral Benefits Corp, who had ordered the gene-altering virus to be released, sent out android armies to round up the Rebs and deal with anyone who stepped out of line. The Rebs were determined to recruit Ripper and foil Trent's plan of world domination. Ripper went his own way, until he was trapped into assisting the Rebs and was branded a terrorist by Trent. Once again, he was on the run, hounded by airships full of androids. The only two people who he could have relied on were unlikely to be of much help: the lover who had sworn never to see him again, and his spineless agent.

Autorenporträt

I am a life-long fan of science fiction, and so when I had an idea for my first story, I wasn't surprised that it was in that genre. The first book took me ten years to complete, but I've got a little quicker since. I am pleased to say that I now have over thirty books published in my name.

What next? So far I haven't run short of ideas for new stories, so there are several projects in various stages of completion, and I hope to be publishing the next story before too long, so please subscribe to my alerts.

My profile picture is a portrait of the author as a young man, painted by my daughter Charlotte Salisbury who has also contributed to several of my book covers.

Professional background
In the 1970s I studied Chemistry at university and then spent over thirty years in classrooms across England teaching almost anything but Chemistry, including Photography, Communications Skills, General Science, Computing, and Information and Communications Technology.

In the 1990s I spent ten years writing abstracts of chemical patents. This was a most exacting process but very rewarding to be reading about the very latest inventions in the field, and the abstracts were distributed world-wide to research scientists by subscription. Articles of mine have been published in magazines and I have written assignments used for assessing Communications Skills for a major international Examination Board.

After retiring early this century I began writing in earnest.
