About the author
Ben Lees
5 books4 followersBen Lees is the author of two young adult science fiction adventure ebooks, A-Wolf and recently-released sequel, Tenebrae about young teenager Alex Wolfe who is unexpectedly caught up in a secret organisation's struggle against an alien threat, transforming him into the heroic "A-Wolf" in the process. He is currently working on a third volume in the series. He is also the author of The New Breed, a science fiction thriller novella set in the futuristic city of Promontory.
Born in 1968, Ben is the father of two young sons and lives in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire, UK. A keen reader since he was a child, Ben has read The Hobbit at least six times and is currently spending some of his time catching up on some of the books he feels he should really have read by now, including having finally finished all of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. His 2016 reading ambition is to read all the other Bronte novels he's been meaning to get round to all these years. As well as that, he has also promised himself he will try to finish the rest of Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series sometime as a personal treat. He has also resolved to update his Goodreads current reading status more diligently next year...
Ben has also posted some short fiction including Information Gathering, a further story about Alex Wolfe and a science fiction story, Waypoint Five. Both are available free on Goodreads.

The SciFi short story, “Waypoint Five”, is by Ben Lees. In the plot which jumps back and forth, Lees initially drops the reader aboard the damaged Starfish class transport “Penelope Weaving”. Mana, co-captain of the “Penny”, awakens from cryo-sleep in the midst of retreating from a battle. But an earlier chance encounter could help in the war against the merciless Drift enemy. Ends with a nice twist from author Lees. 32 single Apple Books pages. Four DETERMINED Stars. (RBSProds)
