Sci Fi has always been in my blood since childhood with Star Trek, Lost in Space, Thunderbirds, UFO and Space 1999 amongst others, having their influences on me so making up Sci Fi stories happened a lot but never got completed. 
'The Fragility of Existence' (see menu link above) was a sort of Sci Fi/ Apocalyptic short novel and first to be published but for a few years, several other stories had gradually taken shape. Originally one novel about a star liner, the 'StarVista 4', captured my attention as I developed it and after a few friends read it (and seemed to like it!) I felt there was more to the story, set in my 'Galactic Arm Association' civilisation as the backdrop. So that novel was split into two to give 'The last Voyage of the StarVista 4' and a sequel: 'The Fate of the StarVista 4' with a third added: 'The Legacy of the StarVista 4' to make it a trilogy.

The first two are now published whilst book 3 has a rough outline of the main points and brings the trilogy and the story of the StarVista 4 to conclusion.

The Last Voyage of the StarVista 4  
In the first book we follow the adventures of young Cherice Richmond, the youngest person allowed to undertake an eight month star cruise on board the luxury star cruiser StarVista 4, with her parents, Carl and Natalie, the honourable newly appointed Earth Ambassadors to the Ziancan homeworld. Little do they know that the voyage is heading into danger. 

A Voyage of a lifetime.

                          Stunning encounters with fabulous interstellar destinations.    
                                  The mysterious multi inclined rings of the gas giant planet Tianca in the hardly explored Cantrara system.   
                                             A mystery in the making…

                                                  and a long forgotten foe emerging from exile... 

The Fate of the StarVista 4 
Young Andrew James Hansone grows up with an obsession about finding the lost star passenger cruiser ‘StarVista 4’ after watching a docudrama about the fate of the ship. After becoming famous and rich designing and building starships he joins the crew of the ExSSV Erebus to solve the mystery once and for all. But with past history between himself and Captain Eric Andersohn and an obsessed chief engineer stalking him, little does he realise how dangerous a mission it is.           

The Legacy of the StarVista 4 
The mystery deepens as AJ, Andrica, Eric and the EXSSV Erebus head out back to the Cantrara system only to find themselves following up clues left behind from Cherice’s extended diaries and from an unexpected source…
            The long dead explorer, Sir Harley Ryker-Smyth, yes he of the - well you get the drift … 

Meanwhile the Azaline forces assemble and the GAA comes under attack from their long forgotten foe…
