Synopsis

The conclusion to a medical crisis on Earth in a trilogy that introduces a new universe of adventures. Specialists from spaceship Chiron are working with alien scientists while furtively aiding a secret science society on the planet. However, that shortcut to solving Earth’s problem could endanger their relationship with planetary officials. Meanwhile, Chiron deals with aliens on nearby planets to gain more information and goodwill as they solve some of the neighbourhood’s problems. Armed with new information, they meet back at their new home base, but soon find their relationship with the planet’s government strained. Desperate to gain back the trust and aid of the innovative aliens, the crew of Chiron find themselves involved in interplanetary conflict as they strive to produce a vaccine to send home to Earth.

Author Biography

My fiction writing brings together years of science studies, work in heath care, and training and assistant teaching as a black belt in karate. After reading stacks of science fiction in my youth, I was inspired by space adventures such as Star Trek and medical thrillers by Dr. Robin Cook. Before publishing Earth and Beyond, I had articles on art and science fiction published in print and on-line magazines and served as editor for a newsletter/magazine for several years. Selling fantasy art and approved paintings and products related to the Canadian Musical Ride prepared me for doing some graphic design for fellow visual artists and for my own novel cover and ads. In my town in New Brunswick, Canada, I run a writing group, am a literacy volunteer at school, and enjoys gardening, creative cooking, yoga, photography, kicking back to good movies and shows, and, of course, my family.

A Bicycle into Battle

There are many things we learn that we promptly forget. History of the war we were supposed to study in class, for example. In grade seven, I read a test question, “What happened to Roanoke?” I hadn’t done the reading, so I gritted my teeth, and wrote, “He was shot.” Well, it turned out that Roanoke was an island. I had essentially told the teacher I hadn’t studied. Important stuff, or something drilled into us, though is different. Here, Captain Walsh’s past training serves his crew well for a mission that dragged him out of his interesting astronomy research job, and back into the fray as he Captains Chiron on its mission into deep space to cure Earth of an alien panemic. Enjoy this tiny excerpt from the trilogy finale that opens a universe of further adventures. (Click “View Profile” or my website to see my science fiction books available now.)

Book Excerpt

Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3

Heracles shot out of the ship like a bullet. Walsh followed suit in Jason without castigating Woon for speeding this time. They needed the surprise element, so he let caution be sucked up a black hole as he reverted to the flying instincts of his youth. He felt his adrenaline rush. It was a strange kind of high, full of angst as well as excitement. Every bit of rubble they dodged, every missile they evaded, was done at super high speed. Dangerously so, but Walsh was in combat mode. It was like riding a bike; the war manoeuvres popped out of his stick like laser blasts.
