DOWNLOAD EBOOKFive hundred years had passed since Daisy has come to this little planet with the three suns, and four hundred and fifty since her husband had died. As she sat by his graveside, the thought came to her that after all this time it really was time that she got over him. An unexpected visit from a starship, and her first contact with another human being in almost five centuries, awakens in her the need for human companionship, and convinces her that it is time to return to Earth. So together with the Lentor, an intelligent and telepathic, dog like creature who has adopted her, she shifts through the dimensions to arrive back into a place far different from the England of her memories. But not only is it different, something is not quite right. It is as if an evil is lurking, changing, affecting and influencing in areas where it can do the most harm. Some power is planning the overthrow of a society that has lasted for hundreds of years, and not with benevolent intentions.

To discover that both colonies have been totally obliterated, with the exception of one young girl, is a shock in itself, but when Gale and her crew are assaulted by hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes that seem to have no basis in nature, she has to ask whether an alien intelligence is involved. Narrowly escaping from an artificially produced Nova, the crew of the Argos discover a moon that shows the remnants of a nuclear explosion and some intact artificial structures. The landing party is forced to abandon their ship and as a result become marooned. What they find provides answers to many of their questions, and who or what the Taldi'na are, is finally revealed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTwo hundred years had passed since the disappearance of Daisy Weal, and the flagship of the Star Fleet, HMSS 'The Daisy Weal', named in memory of her, was heading towards the desolate planet of Cren to deliver an archaeological and survey team. When passing through a binary system, an accident happened, and a beam of energy from an unknown source penetrated the ship killing all passengers and crew instantly. The ship's semi-sentient bio-processor took evasive action, and escaping on emergency thrust, it inadvertently twisted space and performed an unintended, and previously thought impossible, hyper jump. As a result, it ended up completely lost, but finds that it has been programmed with an overpowering urge to find a way home. This is the story of that journey home and of the many civilisations that were encountered, of changes that were made, of friends that were met, and of the life that it was given.

Several attempts on Larry's life, when there is no discernible reason for them, drag him ever further into a web of lies and deceit. It seems to involve espionage, and is believed to be centred on the law firm of Parkes and Parkes, until links back to a former adversary are found. All of the main suspects are already dead, so his attention is inexorably drawn back to the law firm. Finally things come to a head, leaving Larry and his colleagues trapped by two people consumed with the desire to see them dead in the slowest and most painful way possible. Now, the only question that he has left to answer is whether or not this will actually be his 'time to die' after all.
