NEW-ERA: BEGINNING Les Maxim is sixty years old, a slightly cynical businessman, and - as of one very strange night on a dark country road - no longer entirely human. He didn't ask for what he's become. He didn't ask to be hunted across continents by intelligence agencies, government operatives, and some very well-funded people who really should mind their own business. All he wanted was to give humanity a nudge in the right direction. Turns out, the people in charge don't want nudging - they want power and will do anything to get it. Armed with knowledge that shouldn't exist, technology far beyond mankinds, and a dry wit that absolutely refuses to quit, Les finds himself in a race he can't afford to lose - against enemies who will stop at nothing to get control of his new knowledge, and a universe that is considerably more crowded, and much more dangerous, than anyone on Earth suspects. New-Era: Beginning is the first book in an epic science fiction series that blends fast-paced action, sharp humour, and genuine wonder. It's a story about what happens when one very ordinary man stumbles into something extraordinary - and decides, against all sensible advice, to see it through. It could be happening right now - and if it is, we are in deep trouble.
