Description
2016 INDIES BOOK AWARD FINALIST, SCIENCE FICTION. THE SUN newspaper on the first volume in the series, Soul's Asylum " A weird, vivid and creepy book, not for the faint hearted. But it's originality and top writing make for a great read ****." TV Presenter JULIETTE FOSTER "Pearson is the possessor of an extraordinary imagination that brilliantly assaults every variant of the sci-fi genre." Telepath and psychopath-buster Milla Carter continues to fight a far greater threat from outer space. Hovering over the inky shadows of London's crevassed streets a patrol drone discovers the body of a woman, and the signature MO - she's been garrotted with a cheese wire and scalped - is that of a notorious serial killer. But this time the sensuous Milla Carter is incapable of luring the target, who turns out to be telepath opaque. In need of reinforcements, she joins the telepath sisterhood in their fight against members of the Earth's Senate - until, they learn that a deadly alien Swarm is closing in on the outer fringes of space.
About the Author
Foreword Indies BOOK AWARD Finalist: 2018 GODS' Warrior (Fantasy) 2017 GODS' Fool (Fantasy) 2016 GODS' Enemy (Fantasy) 2016 Star Weaver (Science Fiction) Derek E Pearson is a UK-based author and illustrator with more than a dozen published novels in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Since gaining his bachelor's degree from Norwich School of Art in the late 1970s, Pearson has mainly worked as a children's book illustrator, including titles such as Tulsi the Tiger. Since the late 1980s, Pearson has also worked in publishing and journalism, specialising in the dental industry with his online magazine Dental Review. Celluloid Peach, Pearson's latest novel, is a grand, romantic and adventuresome departure from his usual writings, but brings with it the dark twist familiar to fans of fantasy and sci-fi. Pearson says, "When someone dies it has to matter. You have to believe a life has been lost. An author learns to love the people he lives with in his mind. They become real."
Reviews
2016 INDIES BOOK AWARD FINALIST, SCIENCE FICTION LUCY SKOULDING reporter: Creepy, chaotic and carnal... a roller coaster of a story... igniting the imagination... an interesting spin on the topic of sex. It is not enjoyment of the act which is humanity's downfall, but rather their lack of will power to resist what looks tempting... perfectly placed humour throughout.
