Cedric LeRoy #2

by Nick Adams

Detective Inspector Cedric LeRoy, mistakenly thrown from the twenty first century into the twenty fourth, has been employed by the Planetary Investigation Authority the PIA.

Because of time ripples and paradox’s, he learns that using the same machine that catapulted him forward in time, has only a diminutive chance of getting him back to the exact timeline he lived in before. But does he really want to return to London in 2060?

He journeys to the Martian colony to investigate a scientist’s murder at a research facility, only to discover there’s another body. A naked teenage girl floating in space above the planet, reported missing from Australia over three hundred years ago.

Can DI LeRoy and his partner Detective Blithe Taua survive long enough to unravel the ever expanding conspiracy that seems to involve some of the most powerful players on all the outer space settlements?

About the author

Nick Adams grew up in a small village near Maidstone in Kent, England and right from an early age was a fervent NASA, space and Apollo fan. After watching the first moon landing in 1969 and the subsequent moon missions that followed, he discovered science fiction books and cut his teeth reading Asimov, E. E. Doc Smith and Alan Dean Foster. In more recent times, Andy Weir and Peter F Hamilton to name but two, have joined them on the bookshelves.
After serving in the British Army for several years, Nick became a publican, managing and later owning his own village pubs for a number of years before moving to Brisbane in Australia where he began writing his own space opera, and the Fold series was born.
In late 2018 he returned to the UK, where the next adventures in the series evolved, along with the ‘Bache Loftt’ spin-off series.
Nick writes the kind of stories he would like to read. The Fold Series is set a little in the future and based around upcoming NASA technology. The series features normal everyday people put into extraordinary circumstances, with realistic reactions, humour and language. After all, nobody would say ‘oops’ if a 14km-long alien starship de-cloaked next to them.
Head over to his website to sign up to the Reader Group, and Nick will personally keep you up to date with his bi-monthly newsletters about what novels he’s currently reading, cover reveals, book launch dates and general progress on his current project.
Lastly, don't forget to leave a review if you enjoy the books. It only needs to be a few words and it helps spread the word about these exciting space opera stories.
