From the author of Echogenesis and Stealing Light comes a gripping 22nd Century adventure set among the moons of Jupiter.

There is life on Europa. The first manned expedition disappeared while exploring the vast ocean beneath the ice, and fifteen years later, Cassie White is given the chance to join a second expedition—so long as she agrees to investigate secretive experiments carried out by the first.

It soon becomes clear the first expedition stumbled onto a secret even greater than the existence of alien life within our own solar system—something hidden in the depths of Europa’s lightless ocean for untold billions of years. But before she can uncover it, Cassie must first figure out who on board the Veles is trying to sabotage their mission—and why.

Available now.


When Ray Thomas is hired to find the daughter of his sworn enemy, the private detective soon learns there's more to the illegal bio-implant technology known as proxy than body-swapping.

Proxy dealer Elijah wants to know who's trying to kill him, and how it's connected to a new kind of proxy that's hit the streets.

What they each discover on the streets of a near-future London crippled by multiple pandemics has the potential to change the course of civilisation...so long as they can stop the wrong people getting their hands on it first.

GET IT HERE

An alien world teeming with deadly life. And fifteen strangers with no memory of how they came to be there.

From the moment Sam Newman and fourteen others awaken inside metal coffins next to the burning wreckage of a spacecraft, they face a constant struggle to stay alive on a seemingly uninhabited planet light-years from home.

Worse, the last any of them remember, they were back home on Earth - at a time when interstellar travel was little more than a distant pipe dream.

Survival means finding out who - or what - brought them to this place. Yet what few answers they find amidst the steaming jungles and the ruins of that distant world defy all logic or sanity, and it soon becomes clear something has gone terribly wrong...

...something that could mean humanity's survival - or its extinction.

Broken out of jail by an insane oligarch, Dutch McGuire—getaway driver, carjacker and all-round badass—is tasked with one mission: investigate the mystery at the heart of Teijouan, a post-apocalyptic wilderness, in order to win her freedom. But as cover, she must once again take part in the Devil’s Run, a road race circumnavigating the island in which the participants are as likely to be murdered by each other as by the huge alien beasts roaming the wastelands.

It's the end of the world...again.

Over the years, the Pathfinders have become a tight-knit team as they search for an alternate they might one day call home. Now, at last, one has been found: an Edenic alternate Earth on which humanity never evolved.

But just when their work seems over, new threats emerge. One comes from within the Authority itself, but the other is so completely unexpected that the Pathfinders are quickly overwhelmed.

The race is on to deal with the final - and greatest - threat they have yet encountered as they journey through alternate Earths rendered lifeless by rogue singularities or littered with ancient and perilous ruins.

Faced with their own extinction, can they pull together one last time…as well as save the Authority from itself?

Available on Kindle, Kobo, iBooks & others. Also available in paperback and hardback.

Something is hampering a scientist’s experiments in a newly refurbished English mansion. But is the interference caused by the building's famous ghosts...or is there an even more sinister explanation?

Available as a Kindle ebook from Amazon, an Audible-exclusive audiobook, and also a limited edition signed hardback and paperback from Newcon Press.

A collection of stories written since 2015 and published in various magazines, including Interzone and Shoreline of Infinity.

Available in paperback and Kindle format from Amazon.
