Story Behind The Book
These stories are not science fiction or fantasy or even supernatural and if they are to be classified as anything at all it is speculative fiction. That means that they are a product of the imagination primarily because they exist in a fictitious world created by the author. The first two novels are set in a remote galaxy on the outer perimeter of Alpha Centauri and the next three are set in Earth’s past and future. To say that the principal characters are no different to anyone else is not entirely true, but they are human. And if you choose to read this series of books, I can assure you that you will not be subjected to mindless acts of violence. In fact, it’s just the opposite and you might even have a good old chuckle every now and then.
