Produktbeschreibung

The Sequetus Series is big. It is about the subversion of a galaxy, this galaxy, and all the civilizations in it. The book starts off when an intelligence officer from out-there is directed to go on a mission to Earth, known as Sequetus 3. He is to investigate why there are so many anomalies with this one planet. For some reason the planet is way overdue its Intervention Day. The planet governments insist that the visitors they get from out-there absolutely do not exist. Yet half the population believe that they are not alone, in the Galaxy.

The planet also has a short-lived population, and instead of the normal 325 years, people from Earth live only 75 years. There is no explanation for that. Also, the technology on the planet is advancing way faster than normal self-generated technological advancement. This is very suspicious. The planet, a long time back, was said to be a prison planet. Furthermore, its population has only been there a few thousand years, and the planet is ready to blow itself up. It is 1989 and the Cold War is in full swing. But why war? Don't nations usually solve their disputes, peacefully, unless someone outside has an interest in war?

Without giving the plot away, our officer has to prepare an intelligence estimate on Earth and return. Will the galaxy out there feel threatened by these short-lived, and fast breeding races of Earth? What will happen if this version of humanity gets off their planet? The first few books are to build the reader's universe. They get you familiar with the characters.

Then in the fourth book, Magi, the plot kicks off, and you better hold your hat. Here is where you get introduced to telepathy, telekinesis; and even if you do not believe it, it exists, and it is in this book. To have faster than light speed travel, one needs to work out exactly how can a person and ship travel faster than light. There is a way, and that is outlined in the story, but also in the later books. Plus, to do this, it is needed to look at what is the physical universe, and what is its true makeup.

To be exact, the author reconstructs space and its so-called vacuum, and what it really is, and the properties that space has. It is not nothing. Space isn't just nothing. The current models used by science just do not quite fit, so this is taken up in what is termed Broadmatter Theory.

Next is time-travel, and this is introduced to the reader in several stages. The first form of time-travel is to be able to project oneself to an earlier or later time to when one is, so as to alter one's mind in that other time. This is déjàvu. Next is to take one's body through time itself. This then needs a reexamination of how the universe works, and how this can work with time. So, with all this nutted out, as well as how to access these otherwise very above normal human abilities, the background is set for our character to solve what ails not only Earth but every major civilization out there in the Galaxy.

As to the story, it could have you weeping one moment and laughing the next. Some of it is bloody, as space opera is just that. The story spans over a thousand years. The characters are very real, so let the author build up their worlds around you. It is an excellent yarn with a brilliant plot. This story has never been told. It is absolutely unique. So, enjoy it.

There are hundreds of illustrations and maps, a large glossary, with pages of references and notes in the back matter.

Autorenporträt

The Sequetus Series started being written in 1987, the year the story kicks off. I started the first books using pen and paper and compiled many journals. Soon, however, I bought a new Amstrad computer, and was away. By book ten I was living in Tokyo and I was still at it, writing my story. By the twenty-third book, the Sequetus Series was complete, and it is 2014.

This series of books is an epic piece of literature. I had never written a book before. I am an architect, and a construction project manager. But I really was interested in where this world was going, and I was going to also write about it - even if it was in fiction. I then did English and writing courses.

And after the Sequetus Series, the Captain Kuro From Mars Series begins. It runs for twelve books. It incidentally follows on from the Sequetus Series. Telling the story does not stop.

I lived and worked in over a dozen countries around the world, with Australia, Japan, the USA and now Nepal, being the four longest. I lived a life of adventure, and included is a lot of time in Asia, volunteering on disaster sites, and some during civil war. I have lived in a different world to what many of my readers see. The world I was born into did not have mobile phones, computers, or even satellites. I still remember when I looked up and saw the spaceship, as a star in the sky, as it moved from the left to the far right of the night sky. The early 1960s were wild adventure years. I sigh now as we are monitored and tracked.

I recall almost fifty years ago, walking through the Australian bush, for two days, and the track I was walking across was littered with a dozen poisonous black-snakes, basking in the early morning winter sun. One bite would be fatal. I was seventeen. I was with another, but two days away from any road. We just carefully talked calmly to the snakes as we stepped over and through them. I still recall the images of them as they looked up to me. I also recall vividly trecking through the remote highlands of New Guinea, flying off cliffs in planes, and a lot more.

There have been many different responses to people having read my books. They vary, but many readers claim they benefited. So if you want to read them, good for you. There is a lot in them. It is hoped you enjoy them as much as I did writing them.
