Up and Coming Reads | The Celaran Solution by Michael McCloskey

By

The Parker Interstellar Travels Series (PIT) continues with The Celaran Solution. In this book the ragged remains of the PIT team travel to Celara Palnod to reunify the fragments of a peaceful alien civilisation.
I love these books because they are big on action and relatively quick paced. Each book is written with a cliff hanger ending and the plans and adventures build on the former ones which means that you can't start at any book. I would recommend that you read them as a whole starting at book one, The Trilisk Ruins (It's free to download*)

McCloskey has put a lot of thought into creating his aliens and each one's culture and it's great to read. Understand that these aren't your Star Trek aliens who act like some specific human culture and are only differentiated by special bump on their head, McCloskey's don't behave like humans but behave like, well, aliens.



Buy the entire set, it won't cost you much, and have a read, they have Wolfs Seal of Approval, enjoy them with a cup of Earl Grey Tea, hot.

I've purchased my copy and will started after finishing Revenger.  If you've read any of McCloskey's books I'd be interested in hearing what you thought.




The Celaran Solution


by Michael McCloskey

Telisa Relachik studied to be a xenoarchaeologist in a future where humans have found alien artifacts but haven't ever encountered live aliens. Of all the aliens whose extinct civilisations are investigated, the Trilisks are the most advanced and the most mysterious. Telisa refuses to join the government because of her opposition to its hard-handed policies restricting civilian investigation and trade of alien artifacts, despite the fact that her estranged father is a captain in the United Nations Space Force.

When a group of artifact smugglers recruits her, she can't pass up the chance at getting her hands on alien objects that could advance her life's work as an employee of their front company, Parker Interstellar Travels.

In this the ninth book, the ragged remains of the PIT team travel to Celara Palnod to reunify the fragments of a peaceful alien civilisation.

The Most Mysterious Book in the World - The Voynich Manuscript

By
Bibliophiles who love a good mystery, or conspiracy, should be familiar with the Voynich Manuscript. In the article that follows I’ll take you through a quick overview on this mystery and then provide you with some links for further reading. Enjoy! The mysterious Voynich Manuscript has been hanging around for almost 500 years, most of that time it was lost among a private collection but is now the focus of intense of scrutiny. It is famous for being written in an unknown language or code which, so far, has yet to been deciphered. The Voynich manuscript, or Beinecke Ms. 408, is thought to be the only medieval document on the planet in that category. This handwritten codex famous for its indecipherable language also contains drawings of strange plants, Zodiac star charts, and what looks like women bathing in green water.

Cycling In The Dark - A Technique For Writing Fiction.

By
I’ve been reading a lot of ‘ how-to ’ books on writing novels recently, the majority of them talk about creating an outline even before writing the first draft. For those of us who have attempted this sort of thing it does make sense. Step 1: Create and outline of your story, know where and when everything will happen. Step 2: Write your first draft, don’t worry about spelling mistakes or typo’s just let your creative voice have free reign so you can get the story out there. As Joanna Penn says ‘ splurge on words and ideas ’ in this first draft. Step 3: Spent time editing. That is using your critical voice, correcting the spelling mistakes and typo’s, rewriting and polishing the story. The problem is that we spend a lot of time on step 1 and never seem to be able to finish.

Verner Vinge and The Fermi Paradox | A Fire Upon The Deep

By
There are two things about this book that I really like: The first is Verner Vinge's take on the Fermi Paradox and the second are the Tines, an alien race he created for the story. [Would you rather watch the video edition of this post? - releasing soon.] I love reading Science Fiction and Fantasy stories and one of my favourite things about these books are all the different non-human races that we encounter. In Fantasy it’s normally just a handful of races like Elves and Dwarfs, but in Science Fiction there is an unlimited amount of different alien races out there… but what about in real life? In real life… Have you ever wondered where all the aliens are? Have you ever been looking at the stars and wondered ‘Are we alone in the universe ?’ If so you’re not alone. There has been a lot of discussion about this topic by people from all walks of life including philosophers, scientist and writers. In fact this discussion has a name: The Fermi Paradox. The Fermi Para...
