• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The AtomSpheres Resort is an orbiting satellite comprising five vast spheres looped together with rings and assembled in the shape of the text book laboratory atom. Each sphere contains some sort of amusement park, or green spaces, lakes, and aquatic parks. The rings comprise the accommodation., and the utilities.

The AtomSpheres is a masterpiece of gravitational engineering, where visitors can walk on the wall, or the ceiling, every surface is used in one form or another. The Atom has been the go-to holiday destination for over two hundred years. But it is showing signs of age, it has problems and parts are wearing out. But rather than spend money fixing those problems, the governing board of directors decide to attach another sphere-Spher'rios.

Spher'rios will be the showcase sphere where the Praes-Eedan Corporation will set out their future vison. But the problems will not go away, and rather than solving their problems, Spher'rios becomes the problem. Is it just one sphere too many? And whilst the Tech-Engineering department is searching for the root of the problem, Spher'rios disappears with everybody in it.

Five-thousand-eight-hundred-and-six people, and a sphere 2 km in diameter, simply vanished. One second it was there, a split second later it was gone!

Then, thirty-years later, the Deep Space Fleet recovers an emergency CubeSat beacon that is relaying a Mayday signal from the lost sphere. The serial numbers checkout, but the damage and encrusting looks much older. After careful examination and carbon dating, and a lot of disbelief and even more checking and rechecking, everyone agrees that this in not thirty-year-old damage. No, this damage is nearly a thousand years old!

Autorenporträt

I am just an ordinary guy who enjoys writing and artwork, mechanical things and riding motorbikes. I wasn't great at school, and I left without Os or As or Ologies. My first job was apprentice gardener, now I write technical manuals for Rolls-Royce Aerospace. It is amazing how circumstances change as the years go by.

Steve Exten believes in the weirdly possible, and asks, "In the vast starry soup we call the universe, are we really the only ones? Are we the only two-legged, intelligent and upright life form in the universe, or even on this planet?"
Steve writes about the Faerfolk and the Green Man of the forest, and peoples on the other side of the galaxy, because he knows they are real.

He was born in Worcestershire in the English Midlands, moved to the Isle of Wight when he married, spent a couple of years working for Rolls-Royce in Berlin.

He enjoys the music of Vaughan-Williams, Shostakovich and Santana. Steve drinks black-coffee and Darjeeling tea, and the occasional pint of real ale, Doom Bar is a favourite.

Steve lives with his wife (and his motorbikes) in South Gloucestershire, England.
