Electron's Blade

It’s war! Ruthless terrorists force the Governor of Mars into military action. Only one boy can stop the bloodshed. Psychic teenager Zeke Hailey speaks the ancient Martian language. He alone can figure out the riddle of Electron’s Blade. This mysterious alien artefact may hold the secret to peace on the red planet.

Both the Governor and rebel colonists seek Zeke’s help. But which side should he trust? As old foes return, the conflict rapidly escalates. Zeke discovers that nowhere, not even his beloved school for psychics, is safe from the warfare. But is there a deeper conspiracy at work?

Who are the shadowy Martian State Brigade? And what of the Spiral, still haunting Zeke’s visions? Is Zeke a pawn in a game played since the dawn of time? Will he stop the apocalypse, or release it?

About the Author

Ian C Douglas wanted to be a writer from early childhood. An ambition that earned disapproval from his family and teachers. It was not until teaching English at a Thai university, in his thirties, that he plucked up the courage to share his writing. After working as a golfing correspondent, he returned to the UK and graduated with an MA in Creative Writing (distinction). Today, he focusses on speculative fiction. He also writes for the press, as well as for apps and the odd radio play. Workshops, school visits, and mentoring are all part of his writing practice.

Ian lives in Robin Hood country with his wife and children. Ian is also an artist, a teacher and a counsellor. Sci-fi is his first love and his passion for the genre inspired him to create the world of Zeke Hailey.
