Book 1 BREAKING NEWS by Cliff Dale was released in July 2020.
PRINTED ISBN: 978-84-09-21928-5
KINDLE ASIN: B08CJHQFB4
Nature was sometimes cruel to be kind, and mankind was about to find out by how much.
The world was dirty, the footsteps of Man had
been everywhere, leaving a muddy bootprint
that Man failed to clean up,
that was no longer acceptable.
The BREAKING NEWS told of how things were changing.
Some had seen it coming, warned of the consequences,
but much of mankind was deaf to the screams of their fellow man,
blind to the reality of their environment and numb to the pain they inflicted,
but she would get their attention, she would make them take notice.

At the present moment there is one independent, stand alone, story available,
BREAKING NEWS
Breaking News is the title of a story created during the CoVid19 outbreak of 2020
and is the first independant story to be published (i.e. one without a follow on story),
though it does have some relevance to the story line in my first book, At Worlds End (in the Orbiter One Series),
and there is a possible second story, though it is not quite a direct follow on .... maybe.
This book was written during the CoVid-19 outbreak, and, in lockdown on the Costa del Sol.
As many had not realised, there was an earlier outbreak in 2002, so, what if there were another outbreak later, what would that be like?
This is inspired by the fake news and conspiracy theories that surrounded the pandemic then, and what could arise in the future.
The Kindle version was available from 7th of July 2020, and the printed version from the 9th of July 2020.

London born in the 60s and moved near to Bristol in the summer of '69, there I can recall seeing the grainy black and white images of the first moon landing as it happened, it was an exciting time of discovery.
I was already an avid reader of Science Fiction by then and brought up with the excellent BBC TV series Doctor Who,
I can vividly remember watching it in black and white in the mid-'60s, (and hiding from the Cybermen behind the sofa!), and then,
reinforcing the Sci-Fi adventure with other TV series in the '70s and '80s with the likes of Blakes Seven, Quatermass, Day of the Triffids and more.
School life was good, college followed and work, family arrived and grew up, and in between I started writing a book, that book ended up being published some 40 years later, Orbiter One, At Worlds End started life in the late 70's.
I have written a few more since then, and published them, there are more to do.
All my books and other works are here for you to discover.
