I wanted to create something exactly like the kind of books I like. As soon as I learnt to read, science fiction and fantasy sparked my imagination, especially in a series, and if it had lots of action and adventure by a reluctant hero who's basically a romantic, so much the better. Because the characters are genetically engineered mutants based on a range of animals mixed with an ancient hominid, their respective species represent a broad spectrum of human qualities without being anthropomorphized animals. The world they inhabit is post-apocalyptic, a dystopia, but there's room for optimism because their life force is strong. Add elements of fringe science, artificial intelligence, androids, time travel and a space opera spanning galaxies and aeons, things get really interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stars Hereafter Chronicles focus on the science fiction and fantasy genres overall, with a major element being the relationship between the main characters and how they grow to love each other against all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, the series is designed to keep you turning the pages, never a dull moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: What order should I read the books in?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: You can read the books in any order because each makes brief references to the overall story, but I suggest this sequence: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eLightning Seeds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eBones of Silver, Bones of Iron\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eMistress of the Knell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eEye of Stone\u003c\/i\u003e (coming soon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Naked Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e (coming soon)\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Mirror Universe\u003c\/i\u003e (coming soon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere will be a third trilogy in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Why should readers give these books a try?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA: Because The Stars Hereafter Chronicles is a wild ride through a strange land in a parallel universe, anyone who enjoys their imagination stimulated in a way that makes them see the world differently will find themselves absorbed.
