"Mars has fallen and Earth is next. As the Spiral tightens its deadly grip on humanity, Fitch Crawley serves as a murderous emissary. No one can stop them. Least of all Zeke Hailey, on a far-flung moon, resurrected but his memory wiped clean. Never has Zeke more needed his best friend, but Scuff Barnum is gone. Hurled billions of years back in time. Scuff is trapped with the ancient Martians on the eve of the calamity that destroyed them. Could he change prehistory or is he doomed to perish in a fiery apocalypse? Zeke struggles to cure his amnesia, aided by a mysterious scientist and aliens. But even if Zeke recovers, what chance has he of returning to Mars for one last stand? Now that the colonists are dead and only robots and monsters remain. Truly, the Spiral will kill all life in the universe.".

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. Follow Ian at facebook.com/ian.douglas.3994 And Twitter @Iandougie"
