Space Academy Rebels: 1: The Mind Drive

by Ian Hall

Stacey Pencrom is just 15 years old... and she's on her way to Space Academy! Every year MacCollies, the corporate entity who control space travel, scour the Human planets for the best young minds; kids who will one day crew their vast space fleet. But this year (2617) is different. The members of the class have a far higher paranormal ability than ever before… it's literally off the chart! As the young students struggle through their first year, they discover secrets about the MacCollies Corporation that would rock Humanity; it seems their conglomerate benefactor is not as squeaky-clean as they’d like to make out. It takes a whole lot of 'rotten' to turn these kids into rebels... Eventually decisions have to be made, paths taken which were never envisaged by the young students. They would never have guessed they would change the galaxy. If you like Enders Game and Divergent, you’ll love The Mind Drive. Jump aboard for a great adventure tale... Part 2; Beyond the Grey, is also available on Kindle eBooks.

About the author

I am Scottish, born in Edinburgh, and spent the first 41 years of my life, not far from my fair and bonnie "Athens of the North".
I now live in Topeka, Kansas, with my wife (bless her), no pets (don't like 'em), no children (all moved out), and with many gallons of home-made wine bubbling as I write.
My biggest acheivement to date (apart from the successful parenting of my darling daughter) is my published novel; "Opportunities: Jamie Leith in Darien."
I'm not confined by genres, having equal success in Historical adventure, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror and hard hitting gritty crime.
I watch far too much football (Don't even think of calling it 'soccer'.) and at times chase a dimpled ball along carefully manicured countryside, with a collection of calibrated, graphite-shafted sticks.
I play guitar and sing in a folk/rock band, and would love to have enough money to tour the world's archeological sites until I'm too old to walk.
I love to write, and enjoy literary challenges of all kinds.
