Science Fiction

In his science-fiction novel, Blood Red Dust, Stuart Aken sets the debates and dilemmas of the early 21st century on to a backdrop of a future where humankind has broken the bonds that tie it to Earth and has begun to colonise new planets. He follows the fate of a Chosen few as they struggle to fulfil their destiny.

Blood Red Dust is the first book in the Generation Mars series.

The Star Protocol is a fast-moving science-fiction adventure, a first novel by the Marett brothers, Ramon and Simon, each of whom is an experienced writer. The story opens in the deserts of Iraq with a chase that becomes a hostage situation, as the hunters become the quarry. Delta Force soldiers, Will and Dash, along with their British MI6 colleague, John, are on the trail of a known terrorist who they have cornered inside the ancient temple of Ur. Flushing him out should be routine, but they are wary of ambush in this maze-like structure, and they must be quick, there are others hunting them and closing in. When they discover that there are civilian archaeologists inside who have been taken hostage, they are horrified. But when the temple shows its age-old secret, they find out what trouble really means.

In Jack Mann’s science fiction epic, Gravity’s Arrow, 12-year-old Fhiro sits expectantly and impatiently at the edge of adulthood unaware of tensions in the world around him until catastrophe strikes and he and his family are forced to flee. They are disciples of the Creedate, but have spoken out against the expansionist goals of extremists who have taken over their religion. In a precipitous escape, it becomes clear that Fhiro’s parents have planned for this betrayal, and these preparations are not the only things they have kept hidden from Fhiro and his two siblings.

“Michael’s story” was written for Michael Holyland, a 15 year old Elite Dangerous player who died on 22nd May 2019. It was created in 3 days from start to finish, by the combined talents of Frontier Developments and the Elite Dangerous player community.

Best selling novelist Drew Wagar wrote the story, Antony Taylor created the amazing cover, Anthony Hunt created the iconic Eagle glyph, Commander Cryptic Echo, Commander Orange Phoenix, their respective teams and numerous Elite: Dangerous players contributed to the project by creating materials that are still being used to promote this touching tribute to a brave and inspirational Commander.

An audiobook version was also produced as by the end his treatment was affecting Michael's ability to see. This was produced using the magnificent soundscape of Elite: Dangerous by Frontier Developments and features stunning performances by Amelia Tyler, Richard Reed and Jay Britton. It was edited by Joe Hogan and produced by Zac Antonaci. It is available for free on Drew's website here. 

This story would not exist without Michael's Uncle Matt Westhorpe reaching out over Twitter to help bring this project together. Thank you Matt, you are the best Uncle a boy could ask for.
