Threshold Shift

I will hurt you more than you hurt me. Death will be a long timecoming.

On the frontier planet of Threshold a hard won truce exists between the nativeinhabitants and the human settlers. When a murder puts this truce in jeopardy,Marshal Jacob Klein must try to see justice done, whatever the cost.

But Klein has his own problems - an addiction to a fatal narcotic, adisenfranchised son, and a dark secret he has been hiding for over two decades.

For there is a greater threat to Threshold than just a pettycivil war. An ancient presence has invaded the planet for its ownpurposes and Jacob Klein is in no shape to stop it.

I have been reading and watching science fiction since I was old enough to watch Peter Davison walking around an unrealistic jungle set in Doctor Who. The first set of sci-fi books I ever read was The Tripods trilogy by John Christopher without ever having watched the resultant TV series. The Tripods were scary. Over the years I've come to love books like The Dark is Rising, Ender's Game, Magician, The Belgariad, The Dragonlance Chronicles. More recently I've come to admire the Star Trek references in Robert J. Sawyer books, the effortless advanced science of Greg Egan and the finely balanced scientific\action novels written by Robert Charles Wilson. Somewhere in all of this I came to the conclusion that I wanted to create my own adventures, set in my own worlds, with characters that acted and felt like real people. My first novel,'Threshold Shift', was the direct result of this ambition. It was really enjoyable to write and I hope just as enjoyable for others to read.
