Xandra's Legacy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A science fiction novel in which a single individual battles against a group of ruthless companies which is bent on profits before all else. She must work in secret, ever fearful for her life.

What could motivate an elderly but incredibly rich widow to fight to her last breath in a personal vendetta against The Association, the most powerful commercial empire in the galaxy? The wily senior, with more years behind her than ahead, warns her assistants that Association assassins are only minutes away, but they choose to ignore her, with disastrous consequences. That same day Johann had left his home planet to travel the Pan-Orion Spaceway in search of new challenges. He was young, newly qualified and full of shiny expectations, so his chance meeting with the eccentric and evasive, but dying Xandra tore at his heart. The promise of adventure, however, was irresistible.

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.
