About the author
Jonathan Davison
16 books8 followersHi, my name is Jonathan Davison.
I never had aspirations to be a writer. It all happened by accident. One day I had a few hours waiting for something to happen and I thought it would be a great idea to write a story. After I finished my first book, I vowed never to do it again. I started my second book the next day.
I am an independent author. That is someone who takes it upon him or herself to write and publish books all by themselves. This means no agent or editor, no safeguards, nowhere to hide! It also means my books might not be free of typing errors, grammatical anomalies or mistakes in my research - for that, I apologise in advance. By publishing this way, we amateur writers are exposing ourselves to critique which can be uplifting as well as disheartening and sometimes beguiling. It is my aim to tell a story and I hope that you will enjoy sharing the fruits of my over-active imagination without getting too many pips between your teeth.

Couldn't put it down!
A good read. Kept you guessing from start to finish. It was easy to see humanity and it's possible reactions to a given situation...both good and bad.

Adraste Alive.
Dude the story is great; will we follow our group to Gliese? I would read that! I hope they have cryo-chambers on that station!
