About the Book

JET

Synopsis

The Jet Trilogy starts with the main character Sirk Notaani embarking on a voluntary one-off mission to visit another planet, that allegedly supports humanoid life. Crash-landing on arrival he has to battle with fearsome 3 metre long beetles, after which he finds a settlement inhabited by dwarfed human life. Discovering he is in Scotland, as far as he is aware, they are the only race to survive the holocaust, created by the UWF and Cathan hostilities. Finding artefacts from his own time, in a strange and vast museum, confirms his suspicions, and Sirk discovers he is over 100,000 years in the future, on his own planet! Realising he’s been duped, he finds a way to repair his ship, The Diamond Dart, and return home. Determined to take revenge on those responsible, and hopefully save the world from pending disaster, he faces The World Council, but they are not in a mood to listen. Jeered at by members of the auditorium, after his final plea fails, Sirk makes a snap decision that will change his, and the lives of those he loves, forever!

                                                                                            A Bit About Me Born a war baby in 1942, I grew up in Bristol in the United Kingdom. Although I am now 73 years young, I still enjoy one of the trinkets of my childhood, it always was my all-time favorite, obviously - science fiction! Remaining dormant for forty years, it was the Eagle Comic instilled in me the need to become a science fiction writer, but it was H G Wells (among many) that really fired my imagination. Having two younger brothers, I remember constantly cajoling them into becoming nasty aliens, so that I could eliminate them with my trusty (now rusty) ray gun! We grew with a passion for motor bikes, my fathers fault, he also had a passion for them, my poor mother; she was out-numbered four to one! Strangely I didn't start writing seriously until I was 52, when a nightmare of cataclysmic proportions impressed itself on my conscious mind to the point where I wrote it down, and that dream eventually became my first novel JET!, and the first of what has become The JET! Trilogy. Divorced fifteen years ago I lived in Wells, Somerset, UK for thirteen years with my mother until she sadly had to go into a home. Now back in Bristol I have a lovely lady, Maria, and I'm close to my two beautiful daughters Emma and Hayley. I also have four gorgeous grandchildren. Phil Phoenix.
