The Stepping Novels:

MISSTEP

Describe it in a sentence?

                   “Interstellar drug deal goes very wrong.”

Jens needed to get off the planet in a hurry so he took the first job on an interstellar freighter he found—part of a convoy to a far-flung mining colony three Steps and almost three thousand lightyears away. Only the desperate went so far—colonists willing to trade a life on Earth for a new start on a rock somewhere across the galaxy, or spacers one step ahead of the law.

But as each Step takes him farther from home, Jens learns that the job isn’t exactly what he was told, the cargo not as legitimate, and his situation even more precarious. Jens finds himself being groomed for a role in an interplanetary drug racket, with no way out.

Then the convoy mis-Steps, emerging lightyears off course, and the miscalculation might not be their fault!

SEEDERS

After the apocalypse, the flight.

The ocean world is gripped by a pandemic that annihilates everything in its wake. In a desperate act to save their species a remnant of survivors is launched into the depths of space. Frozen in cryo-sleep, they would only wake if their ship detected a habitable planet. But there was no sanctuary, and they continued into the cold and dark.

Centuries later Earth’s dream of finding her sister planet has come true, and it looked like it was free for the taking. But buried in the ruins of what was once a mighty civilization, evidence of the original inhabitant’s risky mission is found.

Two species are about to collide and the survival of one is at stake!

Pemako Burning

The next exciting Stepping novel:

They thought it was free for the taking. They were wrong.

Pemako, an ocean world hundreds of lightyears from earth and the only habitable planet found by humanity. Immigrants soon claim it as their own.

Then something dropped out of the sky. The impact released enough energy to boil the ocean. The ensuing tsunami swept over islands. Death and devastation followed the great wave.

It wasn’t a natural event.

Forced to flee their homeworld centuries earlier, the Ruan have returned. And they want their planet back.

Climate Fiction meets Science Fiction in this high seas adventure!

Pirates Come Down

Fishing in the future takes more than a net!

Rickets is a PAC-Man, his patrol and attack craft the first line of defence against encroaching vessels. Moss is a Fisheries Observer, tasked with seeing that companies abide by the quotas set on target species. Together they play a part in ensuring the waters are not fished to extinction.

But as fisheries elsewhere play out, New Zealand waters start to look more attractive until every ship protects itself with PAC boats, missiles that skim the surface, and kamikaze drones equipped with explosives.

Only there is a bigger shadow on the horizon, one that deflects all radar, is lethally armed, and takes what it wants.

A science fiction love story for the ages!

The Nyrian Transmission

After three hundred years of travelling across the expanse, it finally reached Earth.

The first signal was brief, and once deciphered consisted of three words: “Message to follow”. The second took longer to decode, and was a detailed tutorial of an alien language. In the third message, the Nyrians introduced themselves.

In response, humanity sent two ships: The Concurrent mission travelled three hundred lightyears to see who was still there. The Response team folded both space and time to find out who originally sent it.

Both were unprepared for what they found.
