Two books in one volume

Cybernetic Tyrant

Mark and the team have returned from deep space and discover that NASA seems to be run by robots. They are met by one in Earth orbit which refuses to allow them to communicate with Houston and also has locked the visiting scientists from Herade in the passenger compartment. It assumes the aliens are animals and stops all communication between the two species.

 

Finally, Mark, Anna, Bill, Chan and Mary are shipped back to Earth, but the reception they receive is totally unexpected and frightening. What has happened to their friends and colleagues while they've been away?

 

Deep Space Visitor - a second adventure in the same volume.

After celebrations to welcome the Heradians, Mark's team are discussing how much help they need to occupy their original world in the Trappist-1 system. Development work on the spolding drive has meant that an expedition is also being planned to the pristine Earth the team had accidentally stumbled upon on the first main Trappist-1 expedition.

 

Just when they begin discussing the plan, Anna walks into the office and announces more information on a vague signal being received from deep in the solar system between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus.

 

What is it, and why does it lead to a spolding expedition to Nu Lupi, almost fifty lightyears from Earth?

About the author

Tony Harmsworth

Tony (Anthony Geoffrey) Harmsworth (1948-)

He has spent the last forty years living on the side of Loch Ness. Today he writes science fiction - FEDERATION, GREEN DOOR, MINDSLIP, MOONSCAPE, and THE VISITOR. He has also written non fiction - LOCH NESS, NESSIE & ME and SCOTLAND'S BLOODY HISTORY.

Biography: Tony is now retired from his career in tourism, but is still considered to be one of the foremost authorities on the mystery at Loch Ness. He conceived designed, created and co-founded the Official Loch Ness Monster Exhibition Centre; was administrative coordinator of Operation Deepscan during 1986/7; created the Macbeth Experience multi-media exhibition in Perthshire, became Bursar of Fort Augustus Abbey on Loch Ness where he designed and wrote the highly acclaimed Fort Augustus Abbey Heritage Centre and also the Loch Ness Story Diorama; invented the award-winning board game, Nessie Hunt; scripted the Polygram video Loch Ness Monster Story; wrote Mysterious Monsters of Loch Ness, and Loch Ness, The Monster, the latter being reprinted on eight occasions. His Loch Ness, Nessie and Me book, containing over 300 pages and more than 200 photographs and illustrations, is considered essential reading for anyone interested in Loch Ness. It has also been described as the most comprehensive book every written on the subject.

Although born and brought up in England, he is descended from King Robert The Bruce. He has lived overlooking Loch Ness for more than half his life.

His mixed heritage has resulted in him being a rather strange combination of Tottenham Hotspur and Scotland supporter. Neither team seem to ever win anything! Although, perhaps, this year? As this demonstrates, he is also a great optimist!

Tony has a background in sales and industry holding down management posts with Loyds, Top Rank, Granada, Wella and Lenthéric Morny (BAC). These posts were in Manchester and the south of England. He moved to Drumnadrochit in 1978 to follow up several years' interest in Loch Ness. In 1980 it was his idea to set up the Loch Ness Exhibition with a local hotelier who stole his intellectual property. He recovered from that blow and went on to have a very successful career designing visitor centres, exhibitions and multi-media presentations.

He now writes science fiction full time and if the reviews are to be believed, he is very good at it.
