Finalist in the Readers' Favorite 2018 International Book Awards. Winner Top Shelf Awards 2020 Book Excellence Awards Finalist N.N. Light's Book Heaven Award 2023 Can a small planet at the edge of mankind's cosmic reach overcome the threat of obliteration? Unexpectedly thrust into a battlefield scenario, Stefan Lattanzis finds his world embroiled in conflict when groundbreaking research from Paludis sparks tensions with Earth. As peace teeters on the edge of war, enigmatic local aliens reveal their own cryptic agenda, while a desperate human sect seeks to exploit the newfound technology. To safeguard his home planet, Stefan joins forces with a botanist and a mysterious seer, relying on trust and teamwork to thwart emerging threats and prevent the creation of a nightmarish dystopia. Yet, facing the formidable power of Earth, and with Paludis crumbling around them, victory seems daunting. How will they defeat the might of Earth? "Saving Paludis" is a gripping sci-fi odyssey brimming with futuristic technology, alien machinations, and pulse-pounding paranormal encounters, guaranteed to enthrall fans of interstellar adventures. Top critical acclaim: Saving Paludis is a wonderfully intelligent, creative and superbly written book. Quite often I struggle with the 'world building' element that accompanies this genre. But not in this case. The author is clearly highly skilled in bringing alien races, otherworldly technology and distant planets to life with such clarity that the reader cannot fail to be impressed. Lynne Barnes: Barnsey's Books This is a thought-provoking book on many levels, who has intrinsic rights, what makes one superior over another, who really has control? There is a lot to ponder in this well-conceived and exciting story. Highly recommend. Amazon Vine Voice

Autor

As a youngster growing up in the cobbled streets of Stockport, UK, Clayton Graham read a lot of science fiction. He loved the 'old-school' masters such as HG Wells, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, and John Wyndham. As he left those formative years behind, he penned short stories when he could find a rare quiet moment amidst life's usual distractions. He settled in Victoria, Australia, in 1982. A retired aerospace engineer who worked in structural design and research, Clayton has always had an interest in science fiction and where it places humankind within a universe we are only just starting to understand. Clayton loves animals, including well-behaved pets, and all the natural world, and is a member of Australian Geographic. Combining future science with the paranormal is his passion. Milijun, his first novel, was published in 2016 and the exciting sequel Amidst Alien Stars was released in December 2019. Third in series Alien Whispers: Conflict and Communion was published on November 3, 2022. Second novel, Saving Paludis, was published in 2018 and won a Readers' Favorite International Book Award. His books may be light years from each other but share the future exploits of mankind in an expansive universe as a common theme. In between novels Clayton has also published short story collections 'Silently in the Night' and 'Looking for Life', where, among many other adventures, you can sympathize with a doomed husband, connect with an altruistic robot, explore an isolated Scottish isle and touch down on a far-flung asteroid. He hopes you can share the journeys.
