Lembert is the Police Chief of the planet Soho who finds his wife Dustin is having an affair and decides to get rid of her.The Last Lifeboat: is set on the Queen Elizabeth II where the passengers are virtually the sole survivors of a nuclear holocaust. The food is running out and the radiation is growing by the day and they have to form a new society to survive. Written while the author was on a World Cruise on the QE2 all aspects of the ship are accurate and bring a stunning reality to the story as the wealthy characters are forced to develop new rules to deal with working, living and sexual relationships. Walk for Your Life: a space shuttle crashes on the fast spinning planet of Quadra and the survivors are forced to march for twenty hours every day to keep ahead of the burning sun. Rescue is months away and it is every man or woman for themselves in this harrowing tale and relationships and traditions fade...but someone is watching!666: relevant to today: Ebola has mutated into the deadly Ebola Doomsday virus which is running rife in a future planetary system. A motley group of experts are assembled and dropped onto the surface of an infected planet, they know they either find a cure or they will be abandoned to die and along with them millions more. The science is accurate, and frightening, but the story is mainly concerned with the different personalities and the relationships that develop between them and the tension is increased with the addition to the team of: The Angel of Death, a beautiful woman who is the biggest mass murderer of children in the galaxy, and Professor Joy Sowlee who is famous mainly because her whole face has been eaten away by a rogue virus.Four immensely entertaining stories from a research scientist so all the science is accurate and terrifying!
