Clive Semmens

The Temple at Zelalie (eBook, ePUB)

and other Short Stories etc.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A very varied collection of short (or very short) stories, a recount, a bit of polemic, and one poem. Exploring environmental issues, the human mind, relationships, politics and more...

Some are set in the recent past, some in the present, some in the near future, and many in the distant future; two are set in space, but most are firmly on the ground - two in India, two in Antarctica, two at sea; most could be almost anywhere on Earth.

Many but not all have a post-apocalyptic flavour - sometimes so far post-apocalyptic that the apocalypse is forgotten.

Only three involve highly advanced technology, and that scientifically reasonably credible; none involve any magic or anything fantastical.

Most but not all of the protagonists are human.

Autorenporträt

Clive Semmens was born in 1949 in London, and grew up in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire, England. He has degrees in Engineering and Mathematics (1st class honours). He's had a varied career in engineering, research, teaching, teacher training and lecturing, publishing and technical writing. He retired in 2007, and now spends his time writing novels, short stories, and articles on various topics, particularly environmental issues. He stood for parliament as a Green Party candidate in the 2015 UK general election. He's been a frequent visitor to India since 1983, mainly to spend time with his wife's many relatives there - they were married there in 1984. They are widely traveled within Europe, much less so elsewhere (apart from India). He speaks and writes French, German and Hindi to a useful but not high standard.
