Modern mystery/science fiction classics await...
Shadows of Medusa and Medusa Rising are the first two novels in a series devoted to near-future, plausible science fiction/mystery. See below to order electronic copies for Kindle and Nook.
Though the first novel was published in 2005, the science and geo-political intrigue jumps off the broadcast TV newscasts of 2020. The author's recipe for timeless relevance is simple: combine bleeding-edge planetary science with plenty of sociology, psychology, and history. Mix thoroughly, knead, and bake at -50C!
There's an old saying: technology changes, but people don't. If that saying holds true, readers will enjoy these novels for decades to come.

What's next?
The Magic Martian Box! The author will branch the storyline into several novellas, each focusing on one character. The first of these novellas will follow the trials and tribulations of David Debacco, the Director of Mission Support for the ill-fated Mars mission, as he tries to escape his mysterious captors. If he can't return the lone surviving crew member on Mars back to Earth, David has been ordered to kill him. No doubt, his own death would follow shortly. With no remaining options possible, he must turn his efforts toward the impossible ones. David needs a miracle. He's about to get one. And it comes in a tiny box. Coming soon, to a planet near you... |
It's here!
15 years in the making, the sequel! Medusa Rising Doctor Oliver Sainsbury: geologist, talented engineer, Emperor of Mars, and... murderer? So it would seem to the people who must help him survive on Mars - or leave him to die. But is Dr Sainsbury really as guilty as everyone believes? A robot rebellion, monster dust devils, aerial sabotage, and disjointed scraps in a dead woman’s diary form clues of a new mystery, one that Sainsbury is reluctant to solve. Yet solve it, he must. His survival - and perhaps the destiny of two worlds - hangs in the balance. Fortunately, a good Martian is hard to kill. Meanwhile, back on Earth .... well, that's where all the really strange stuff is happening. |

Shadows of Medusa
After years of frustrated dreams and seemingly wasted education, David Debacco has found the meaning he so desperately sought in his life. Or has he? Recruited to run a support team for the first crewed mission to Mars, David quickly learns that nothing is what it appears to be. He must use his wits and talents to survive a deadly storm of plots and counterplots, shifting loyalties, and darkest betrayals. Someone will spare no expense to stop this mission. But did the enigmatic Mission Planners recruit him to expose and defeat their enemies? Or merely to distract them?
Traveling to Mars in a bold pursuit of knowledge, Anna Schweitzer barely perceives the Earthly plots against her team. Despite impossible odds, she looks to Mars for hope. Will she survive long enough to reach the New World and battle its untamed surface? Or will she succumb to dangers in space more terrifying than any she left behind on Earth?
