Siren

by Larry Jeram-Croft

The Earth is rapidly getting too small. Predictions clearly show that within a few generations there won’t be enough room or resources and something will have to give. Mike Lawson, grieving for the loss of his wife and son in a tragic accident, is given the opportunity to do something about it. It seems that life has developed on Earth before and has left behind an entity of tremendous power who wants to help. Mike is asked to provide the human element. He forms a small team who work together to nudge humanity towards a solution before Armageddon occurs. But even with almost God like powers, how do you actually do that, without triggering the disaster you are trying to avert?

About the author

Best selling author, Larry Jeram-Croft spent thirty years in the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot and engineer. He then worked in industry for seven years before retiring. When he retired, he and his wife bought a yacht and went to live in the Caribbean. It was this experience that led to the idea for his 'Jacaranda trilogy'. The novels are based on true events in the West indies of Nelson's time and provide thrilling and exciting stories for all who love the sea and sailing. Brought up on the books of C S Forester and Patrick O'Brian he was surprised that no one was writing similar stories about the modern Royal Navy, especially with so much going on in previous decades. As he was himself a Lynx helicopter pilot during the Falklands War, he decided to start there, using his own extensive knowledge of the conflict. 'Sea Skimmer' was the result; a book based on many true stories, the main one being why the Argentinian Exocet missiles failed to explode. Directly involved in anti Exocet countermeasures and also with a grandstand seat of the final Exocet raid of the war, the book, although a novel, has an authenticity that cannot be bettered. More books have followed. The latest 'Diamant' is a historical novel set in 1805 about the Royal Navy setting up a garrison on Diamond Rock off Martinique an exercise that almost brought Nelson and the French together well before Trafalgar.
In addition to his fiction, last year he published his first non- fiction work, an operational history of the RN Lynx helicopter. Another about the RN Wasp helicopter is due out this year.
Larry now lives in Martock, Somerset and spends most of his time writing and playing golf extraordinarily badly.

Reviews

[Peter Dawes · Rating 3 out of 5]

An enjoyable read but not a patch on his other work.

A plot without any real conflict. The author should stick to what he does best in my opinion, action stories.
