REVIEWS
‘You won't be able to put this book down, I know I couldn't and spent nights reading until I passed out with my kindle in hand. This is by far the best book I have read in a very long time.’
John (Wexford, USA)

'This book really was unputdownable. Perhaps one of the best new sci-fi authors I've been lucky enough to discover on my Kindle.'
A. Butler "tanj666" (Coventry, UK)

'The plot and most of all, the universe it happens in, are lovingly-well imagined and described. I really enjoyed reading this.'
Denny de la Haye "Denny" (London, England)

‘Unique and interesting characters, fascinating alien races and plenty of twists and turns made Convergent Space a thoroughly enjoyable read.’
Warwick Reed (Tasmania, Australia)

'This was the most readable scifi novel that I've read in a while. I just wish his next book was out already!'
Simon W M Scott (Northampton, England)

‘I heartily enjoyed this book. It's space-opera at its best and it has a great twist in the tail…’
M Wolstenholme (Leeds, UK)

DESCRIPTION
Convergent Space is a dramatic sci-fi adventure / space opera.
It is the first book in a series, with the second book due out in 2013.
It's nearly 130,000 words. Great value for money.

THE STORY
Jump to a few hundred years from now…

Earth is a faded galactic power in a violent galaxy. Blamed for an event 200 years earlier that destroyed thousands of worlds and turned the galaxy upside-down, Earth has been shunned by galactic society ever since.

Now they have a chance to turn that around.

Meanwhile in the outer fringes of the galaxy, a powerful new force is emerging from the ashes. Ruthless and unstoppable, this colossal army is approaching the central planets with one aim – to cleanse the entire galaxy.

Rone Tintet is one of Earth’s immense army of space-faring investigators. She discovers an artefact that may reveal what really happened 200 years ago and resurrect Earth’s fortunes. She embarks on a journey far from home but will there be anything left when she returns?

In Convergent Space these two stories - one in the past, one happening right now - intertwine into a dramatic and unexpected finale.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Imaginative Space Adventure 19 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a well written post-apocolyptic trek around the Galaxy. Highly original and great fun to read. There were a couple of incidents where the science was ever so slightly off but these are easily forgiven and forgotten.

The storyline was highly original with some really great ideas, some of which could be developed further in a sequel (that I am certainly looking forward to). Wonderfully interesting and colourful characters introduced throughout keep the pace flowing smoothly.

All in all, a well worthwhile read that leaves you wanting more at the end.

If you like your sci-fi with a good mix of action and adventure but not too much tech then this is the book for you. It's also amazingly good value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading 7 Jan 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
A good read, should strike a cord with Iain M Banks Culture fans. I enjoyed it immensely, although I felt the novel could have expanded on the multiple (and very interesting) civs encountered by Rone et al. All in all I'm hoping for at least one sequel...

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Space Opera 25 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the most fun I've had reading a sci-fi novel in ages. Lots of spaceships, galactic conquest, ancient mysteries, superweapons, and believable and engaging characters. Intelligently written and it cracks along. Looking forward to the sequel.
