About the Author

The writing of my novel has not in itself changed my life. However, I have benefited from the experience because I am now a great deal more confident in so many areas of life that I would not have visited if it were not for the development of the book. The area that has most affected my life, which is as a direct consequence of writing, is the quest to have my book published. The five year journey upon which I embarked: took me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, learning and frustration. As a direct consequence of having written my book "The Black of Gamma," you are sitting reading these words from this web site at the end of my journey!

Cal had just started his ascent to link up with the shuttle when the Shuttle’s computers indicated an alarm.  His trajectory had not quite taken him out of the thin atmosphere before he realised the gravity of the situation.  The Shuttle's sensors had detected a huge object entering into an orbital path about the planet.  It was sweeping over the horizon and across the trajectory Cal climbed rapidly along.  Explorer pushed the Lander’s motors into over thrust, in an attempt to change their trajectory so it would avoid colliding with this new and as yet unidentified hazard. Explorer ordered the Shuttle to rendezvous with them in an orbit that would avoid the phenomenon.  Both craft changed course and speed to make good the new datum point where they would mate.  Cal thought that together, Explorer and he could re-assess the situation once the docking procedure had been completed.  As Cal broke free of the atmosphere, he switched his sensor systems to automatic so he could track and take a close look at the object, as it passed overhead. 

 

The radio communications between Cal and the Shuttle started to break up with loud bursts of static interference.  Within seconds their communication link was broken, the airwaves were filled with a loud continuous hiss.  He checked quickly that the pictures of the mission were still being transmitted back to Earth.  Unfortunately the digital communications link was also blocked, and nothing seemed to be going out.

 

Without communications, all Cal could do was climb into his pre-determined orbit and hopefully dock with the Shuttle.  He quickly checked that the onboard video and recording equipment was still functioning, and scanned the horizon in the direction from which the phenomenon was coming.  Seconds later a small speck appeared on the horizon and grew rapidly.  As the object approach Cal notice that Explorer’s systems were being affected by a huge magnetic anomaly and began to shut down. Without warning, the Shuttle’s motors extinguished, and the vibration from them ceased.
