Mason is not happy with his life selling insurance, but it all changes when he discovers that he has paranormal powers and is visited by Gabriel, a sentient being. Mason is told that he and others like him with telekinetic powers are required to help fight off a pending invasion of aliens.
Gabriel’s adversary is another sentient with an old feud that has raised a force of aliens to deal out his vengeance by destroying human civilisation. After the destruction of many Australian population centres, Gabriel and the human resistance plan a decisive confrontation in the outback of Australia while learning secrets of humanity’s origin.

"A page-turning adventure featuring evil invading aliens, paranormal humans and angels (both holy and fallen). Not normally my genre, but I enjoyed losing myself in this battle.
The tactical and military equipment descriptions were clearly well researched, and the creativity surrounding the alien anatomy and hardware was great. It's also worth checking out his earlier book, Manhood for a similarly creative dystopian future based in New Zealand rather than Australia."

"This is an engaging and historically fascinating story. I became quite invested in the characters whose lives took so many turns geographically and emotionally. It has obviously been well researched and it is beautifully presented. The places and the people were depicted with great colour and important detail.
Highly recommended".

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn’t expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.

But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful – exactly what Rosemary wants.

Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They’ll earn enough money to live comfortably for years… if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.

But Rosemary isn’t the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.
