Bibliography

Stories:

Several of my stories fall into series. Following each of the story details, below, is a letter denoting the relevant series.

S = Salvageman Ed stories, about Captain Ed of the salvage ship A Long Way From Home, and his crew of Karrie, an engineer, and Ella, an AI pilot.

K = The Kéthani stories. These stories are set in the near future, in the region where I lived in West Yorkshire. The Kéthani are a race of aliens, never seen in the stories themselves, who have bestowed the dubious gift of immortality upon the human race. The stories deal with the consequences of the gift. They are low-tech, small-scale, and quiet: they’re more about the featured characters and how they deal with the ‘gift’ than about the aliens and the science of immortality. In 2007 I rewrote the stories and added linking material to form the novel Kéthani.

E = Engineman stories. These feature men and women who, by power of their minds alone, push vast starships through the gulfs of space, and in so doing attain a kind of nirvana. The novel Engineman is at the core of this future history.

T = The Fall of Tartarus: stories set on the world of Tartarus, whose sun is going nova. These stories are set in the decades leading up to the blow-out and feature the people who chose to leave the planet, remain, or return. They were collected in The Fall of Tartarus, 2005.

SO = Stories set in Sapphire Oasis, an artist’s colony in the Sahara desert. These stories also fall into the Telemass future history.

TM = Telemass stories. These are set in the future, after the time of the Enginemen, when telemass devices have superseded starships.

BH = Ben Henderson stories, featuring the retired gem-cutter, Henderson, and his life in the backwater resort of Magenta Bay, Altair III. These stories also fall into the Telemass future history.

The two stories marked (C) are crime.

Stories marked (N) are novellas over fifteen thousand words.

Stories marked * are for children.
