Full Circle: The Travis Fletcher Chronicles
Book 4. Set 20 years after When the Bow Breaks, Travis is now a confident warship commander and mercenary. The Arrow has a full complement of crew and has been intervening in interplanetary wars and disputes, making the crew very rich. His telepathic abilities now rival or even surpass those of Xnuk Ek’, his teacher and lover. It is now time to take The Arrow and its crew on its most dangerous mission yet, and deliver a message from the Hunab Ku to the people of Earth… but things are never that simple. What will Earth make of their first interstellar visitors? How can Travis convince the most paranoid and xenophobic planet in the galaxy to listen to what he has to say? He is still haunted by his breakdown and birth of his alter ego at Spesota, and this is made worse when Xnuk Ek'’s dreams of her own death return. The conclusion of The Travis Fletcher Chronicles brings the story full circle to the beginning of The Archer’s Paradox. 350 pages

About the author
Chris Devine
13 books29 followersChris Devine is a project manager implementing high performance computing systems to universities and research establishments throughout the UK. He has devoured science fiction novels for as long as he can remember: from E. C. Eliott and Hugh Walters as a child, to Larry Niven, Robert Heinlein, A E van Vogt and Isaac Asimov as a teenager and Elizabeth Moon and so many others as an adult.
He published his first novel, The Archer’s Paradox, in 2014 although the germ of the idea was born in a daydream decades before when he was eleven years old. What started as a short story to fill the evenings on a long contract away from home, took on a life of its own and became the Travis Fletcher Chronicles which eventually spanned four books. It still provides embryonic ideas for spin offs and sequels and there are two half written novellas in the pipeline.
Although science fiction is his first love, he believes in letting the story take him where it needs to go, rather than pulling it in a direction you want to go, just like real life. Sometimes you end up on a different path to the one you thought you were on. Petra’s Story, therefore sits more in the mystery / psychological thriller section of the bookshelf, although there is still a sci-fi element. As with Travis Fletcher, Petra Connell is flawed, out of her depth and afraid of failing, and there is always Chris’ dark sense of humour lurking in the background.
Writing a book is a daunting prospect, daring to publish it is just scary. If Chris’ literary ramblings persuades one more person that they have a story that needs telling, then he will consider that a success.
