Free sci-fi bundle

Jan 20, 2026

Dear shipmate

Post-Christmas budgets in mind, I thought it was a good time to remind you about Space Colony One books 1 - 3, which are currently available as a free bundle.

Space Colony One is a multi-generational space-colonisation epic adventure, following the stories of the generational colonists, descendants of their starship’s original passengers, the scientists woken from cryo at the end of the long voyage, and the mysterious Guardians, latecomers who arrive on an FTL ship.

You can download your free copy of books 1 - 3 at your favourite retailer or the ship’s store.

Also, if you don’t already have it, don’t forget to pick up the free prequel, Night of Flames.

Finally, as it happens, the entire complete series is currently on sale this month at the ship’s store!

SHIP’S LOG

Space Colony One has been on my mind recently. My mammoth project for 2026 is to completely overhaul, update, and vastly expand my website, adding tons of information and bonus content such as character profiles, book club discussion questions and glossaries.

I’ve started with book one of Space Colony One, The Concordia Deception.

It’s still a work-in-progress, but feel free to have a look around, click the links, check out the connected pages, and let me know what you think. It always helps to get multiple eyes on projects.

I would like to add maps of the fictional landscapes too, eventually, but that will take quite a bit more work.

Are you ruefully feeling the effects of festive over-indulgence? I can empathise. The fact that I’m the only one still eating the Christmas cake isn’t helping.

But, looking back, it was worth it, right? So much delicious food, and life is for living, so no regrets here.

I’ll start to cut back once all the cake is gone.
