Phoenicia's Worlds - Softcover

Ben Jeapes knows how to spin a compelling yarn." Gareth L. Powell, author of Ack-Ack Macaque and The Recollection "Crammed full of intrigue and invention: I'll be stealing ideas from this for years." Simon Morden, author of The Petrovich Trilogy

An overdose of TV science fiction as a child doomed Ben Jeapes to life as a science fiction author. He took up writing in the mistaken belief that it would be quite easy (it isn't) and save him from having to get a real job (it didn't). Hence, as well as being the author of several novels and short stories, he is also an experienced journal editor, book publisher and technical writer. His novels to date are His Majesty's Starship, The Xenocide Mission, Time's Chariot and The New World Order. His short story collection Jeapes Japes is available form Wizard's Tower Press. His ambition is to live to be 101 and 7 months, so as to reach the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings and the arrival - as family lore has it - of the man responsible for his surname in the British Isles. He is English, and is as quietly proud of the fact as you would expect of the descendant of a Danish mercenary who fought for a bunch of Norsemen living in northern France.
