The Trial of H.G. Wells

Being Earth’s ambassador to the enlightened Kefloins is the pinnacle of Gwen Bomford’s career, but she’s about to learn something stinks on their planet when they turn to her to resolve their greatest shame. Is she and her team up to the task?
The Chosen One
The fate of Humanity lies in the hands of the most isolated human in its history. Espero was born to make first contact with the enigmatic alien Zoxies. He has lived his life on a space station cut off from all human contact in a bid to keep him free of microbial contamination. But the choice to be a hero or a villain still lies in his grasp.
The Tourist
Jane is the Earth's first tour guide for aliens, but unfortunately, the planet's first extra-terrestrial tourist also proves to be its most obnoxious ever. Every wonder she shows the blue slime, Glughokal, leaves him underwhelmed. Somehow, she must impress him before he departs and leaves Earth’s budding xenotourism industry in ruins.

About the author
Noel Coughlan
12 books43 followersNoel lives with his wife and daughter in the West of Ireland. He writes epic fantasy, science fiction and horror.
From a young age, he was always writing a book. Generally, the first page over and over. Sometimes, he even reached the second page before he had shredded an entire copybook. And you couldn’t even recycle all that wasted paper back then.
When he finally wrote and published a book, it took him fourteen years. The Golden Rule became two books so let us be generous and say he averaged seven years per novel. He has gotten a little faster since then. Honest.
His hobbies include writing, reading, and reading about writing. He has written about reading in the past, and he occasionally writes about his writing. He would happily stay at home all day writing, but the family dog, Ruby, insists on taking him for daily walks.
His pet hates include writing his biography and referring to himself in the third person.
