Synopsis
Captaining HMSS Ark Royal as part of Earth’s first interstellar delegation should be an honour. Try telling that to Michael Gilmore.His passengers are an ill-tempered prince and an inscrutable quadruped alien. His First Officer is ready to mutiny if Ark Royal engages its weaponry. The ship’s A.I. seems to have turned renegade. And the neighbouring vessel harbours a genocidal maniac.And it’s altogether possible that they’re heading into some kind of trap ..."One of the best first contact books in a long while – a gripping, logical, original and fundamentally optimistic retake on one of SF’s richest themes." – Alastair Reynolds"A veritable fount of plot, characterisation and intrigue, with some astoundingly original ideas." – SFX"Bursting with fun and energy." – Interzone"A great story, wonderful aliens, fine writing. Ben Jeapes is a name to watch for." – David Feintuch

About the Author
An overdose of TV science fiction as a child doomed Ben Jeapes to life as a science fiction author. He took up writing in the mistaken belief that it would be quite easy (it isn't) and save him from having to get a real job (it didn't). Hence, as well as being the author of several novels and short stories, he is also an experienced journal editor, book publisher and technical writer. His novels to date are His Majesty's Starship, The Xenocide Mission, Time's Chariot and The New World Order. His short story collection Jeapes Japes is available form Wizard's Tower Press. His ambition is to live to be 101 and 7 months, so as to reach the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings and the arrival - as family lore has it - of the man responsible for his surname in the British Isles. He is English, and is as quietly proud of the fact as you would expect of the descendant of a Danish mercenary who fought for a bunch of Norsemen living in northern France.
