Novels in Progress

The Long Fall

A novel of survival, the last two thousand survivors of a war of extermination against humanity struggle to rebuild what they have lost.

The Measurement Problem

An SF/Crime crossover novel. Detective Inspector Lewis Drake must solve his own murder and find the wife he has never met. This one grew out of the idea in “Entangled”. The novel won the Hodderscape/Science Museum SF Debuts Prize.

The Bookseller has a lovely writeup and an awful photo.

The Enemy is coming and everyone will die. The struggle intensifies to be among the lucky few who can escape. This one started as a short story, grew into a novella and now sits at around 50,000 words – a short novel. Set in the Long Fall universe.
