An introduction to my #books - 3/3
Light Chaser by Gareth L Powell and Peter F Hamilton. Amahle is a Light Chaser – one of a number of explorers, who travel the universe alone, trading trinkets for life stories.But when she listens to the stories sent down through the ages, she hears the same voice talking directly to her from different times and on different worlds. something terrible is happening, and only she is in a position to do anything about it. The Recollection. Four hundred years ago, Ed and Alice Rico threw themselves through a mysterious portal on the London Underground, hunting for Ed’s lost brother—Alice’s husband—Verne. Now, starship captain Katherine Abdulov embarks on a desperate race against a ruthless rival captain to try and earn back her family’s trust. Tomorrow, all their lives will be thrown together as an ancient evil stirs among the stars, threatening the survival of all life… ABOUT WRITING. Positive, blunt and refreshingly honest, this is a guide to the practical business of writing from a professional author with a decade’s experience, who has navigated working with publishers of all sizes, and walked the path from debut to award-winner. Written with Gareth L. Powell’s trademark warmth and wisdom, About Writing is here to help you achieve your goals, and write your own story. Books available from all good vendors, most as audio books as well.

An introduction to my #books - 2/3
Descendant Machine. The human race has been cast from a dying Earth to wander the stars in a vast fleet of arks. But the universe is stranger and more deadly than anyone could have foreseen. When Nicola Mafalda’s scout ship comes under attack, she’s left deeply traumatised by her ship’s drastic attempts to save her. Months later, when an old flame comes to her for help, she realises she has to find a way to forgive both of them in order to stop a giant machine from destroying history. STARS AND BONES. The human race has been cast from a dying Earth to wander the stars in a vast fleet of arks. But the universe is stranger and more deadly than anyone could have foreseen. The human diaspora runs up against a being capable of infecting and usurping anything it touches, and it’s up to Eryn King and her scout ship Furious Ocelot to to seek out a legendary recluse who just might hold the key to humanity’s survival. THE EMBERS OF WAR trilogy - The sentient warship Trouble Dog was built for violence, yet following a brutal war, she is disgusted by her role in a genocide. Stripped of her weaponry and seeking to atone, she joins the House of Reclamation, an organisation dedicated to rescuing ships in distress. When a civilian ship goes missing in a disputed system, Trouble Dog and her new crew of loners find themselves at the centre of a conflict that could engulf the entire galaxy. Doctor Who: The Well. Joining a military rescue mission to an isolated mining colony, the Doctor and Belinda find a single survivor of a violent catastrophe. What killed the colonists? Why is every mirror in the base smashed? The chilling truth spells horror and death…

People ask where to start with my #books, so here's an introduction. Scroll to see them all. Continues in replies. - 1/3
A photo of Gareth surrounded by book covers JITTERBUG: Jupiter and Saturn are gone, and a mysterious force has built a huge habitable sphere from their ashes. When criminals try to lose themselves on this new frontier, bounty hunters like Copernicus Brown and the crew of his sentient ship Jitterbug get paid to hunt them down. WHO WILL YOU SAVE? With settings ranging from the dead sands of Mars to the seedy backstreets of Amsterdam and Buenos Aires, these action-packed tales explore mind-bending ideas through the eyes of unforgettable and all-too-human characters. FUTURE'S EDGE.When archaeologist Ursula Morrow accidentally infects herself with an alien parasite, she fears she may have jeopardised her career. However, her concerns become irrelevant when Earth is destroyed, billions die, and suddenly no one needs archaeologists anymore… Two years later, she’s plucked from a refugee camp on a backwater world and tasked with retrieving the artefact that infected her, as it just might hold the key to humanity’s survival.
