Destiny’s Orbit
Though Ajax Calkins was wealthy enough to buy anything on earth his heart desired, the one thing he wanted most was strictly forbidden. That was a world of his own – a planet, however small, which would be his private kingdom in the sky. The Earth-Mars Space Administration stood in his path. They would tolerate no such 18th Century derring-do in the commercial and workaday planetary channels of the 21st Century. Empire-building was out.
But when an offer from a bearded stranger opened the way to just such an adventure, Ajax leapt at the chance. In his luxury spacecraft Destiny he shot out through the inner planets to the tiny world that waited a king – and, unwittingly to a monster outer-planet empire that waited a detonator for cosmic war.

Edge of Time
Edge Of Time is a mind bending story of a group of scientists making a ‘miniature universe’ which starts evolving at a fast rate, (due to space-time difference between the real universe and the micro-universe) to the point where intelligent life and later technically advanced civilisations rise and flourish. However this isn’t without its problems. ‘Echoes’ of this micro-universe start leaking out into the real world and members of the public start seeing visions of alien geology, wildlife, (including dinosaurs) or advanced technology. These sightings are brought to the attention of some journalists who are sent to investigate the ‘epicentre’ of the visions and find themselves at a top secret facility.
What makes ‘Edge Of Time’ compelling are the concepts that having now made a microuniverse, the scientists find that they can slow it up which enables members of the team to telepathically link with intelligent lifeforms within and start living their lives – bit like James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ movie. However due to the massive time difference between the two universes, the scientists find that they’re living whole lifetimes in their ‘avatars’ when only a few hours or days have passed in the real world. It’s certainly a great idea which predates James Cameron’s Avatar by five decades. It’s also ironic that since the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was up and running, scientists have been trying to emulate the early universe a fraction of time after the Big Bang. Talk about art immitating life or is that life immitating art?

This is the start of a fantastic adventure that takes Burl on the first circumnavigation of the solar system on the Magellan. Each planet-fall brings unexpected hazards, as the ship draws closer and closer to solving the mystery of the thest.
