The Old Store: A Science Fiction Anthology has Grown!

After the 'discovery' of a number of lost tales, the survivors of the Old Store post-apocalyptic stories have requested publication of a total of seven previously untold stories. A bonus here is that each new Lost Tale is around twice as long as the original episodes, at approx. 5,000 words each. These completely all new episodes are similar to those contained in the original anthology and are being published in two volumes.

Old Store: Lost Tales 1

More action and adventure set in the Families post-apocalyptic world. This first volume of stories complementing 'The Old Store: A Science Fiction Anthology' adds a new dimension to the experience of Snake's encounter with rival gang boss Rat. New stories then relate the perils the Families fall into when dealing with dwindling supplies of ammo and fuel.

Editor's note

This first volume of three 'Lost Tales' is published in conjunction with the twenty-six entirely different episodes already existing in 'The Old Store: A Science Fiction Anthology'. In the future, after more episodes have been published, 'The Old Store' will be re-published as an episodic novel, containing episodes from two books of Lost Tales, a number of prequel episodes and several sequel episodes. A second volume of four completely different Lost Tales is also available from the same author.

Episode 1 'Roleo's Rescue' in Lost Tales 1 is from the point of view of a member of Snake's gang and also from the points of view of the rival gang leaders Snake and Rat, showing what life may be like for those still surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. The remaining six episodes running through Lost Tales 1 and 2 return to the points of view of the members of the family group based in the Old Store. The series of episodes contained in both Lost Tales 1 and 2 in terms of the chronology and sequence of episodes in 'The Old Store' would go between 'Rat Bites Snake' and 'Ham Radio'.

Lost Tales 1 contains:

Episode 1: Roloe's Rescue

Episode 2: Ammo

Episode 3: Trapped

Back Amongst the Ruins for Passengers: Revelations Cover

'Passengers: Revelations' is the long-awaited sequel to 'Passengers to Sentience' and 'Passengers to Zeta Nine'. Here's a sneak preview of the first cover design:

We're back amongst the ruins with this cover idea. Action in the story takes place on Zeta Nine and a number of other new planets, and there's more than the usual degree of intrigue back on the mining planet, Nur.

"With the news media in a frenzy imagining man-eating aliens, Ben and Lori need all the help they can get in breaking the news that an alien race had been found. Meanwhile, doing penance for their previous misdeeds, Symch and Goster  have a surprise in store for their jailers. Spider technology is licensed for industrial use but at a price, and old foes reappear to do no-one any good but themselves. Raife and Nancy find their semi-tropical city to be more of a handful than they anticipated with dangers of its own, and their science teams struggle to make progress with the crashed ship left behind by the long-vanished Zetans.


Even if all these issues can be resolved, more difficulties will undoubtedly arise, making a fourth instalment a virtual certainty."

British Zombie Breakout Trilogy

Peter Salisbury's British Zombie Breakout trilogy has met with significant UK success. In 2012 all three parts will be published in one book - British Zombie Breakout Omnibus under the following cover:

At the moment the three parts are published separately:
Part One

The authorities should have been more careful after the first zombie breakout infected half of England and disrupted lives right across the country. Unfortunately, either someone got careless, again, or the disease was far more virulent than anyone expected. The remote fishing village of Kilkorne with its picturesque castle and harbour was the last place to expect an attack, despite its proximity to the experimental facility where the disease was invented. Once the second outbreak had been officially announced by the Ministry, anyone resisting capture was to be shot as being infected with zombieism. Alternatively you could surrender and be kept in a quarantine camp, where last time the survival rate was zero.

Refusing to accept either option, five teenagers and five adults separately begin journeys from opposite sides of the village. They attempt to stay one step ahead of an insane horde of highly infectious, half dead creatures, the army's orders to shoot on sight, and the Ministry's instructions to burn down the village. Furthermore, the endeavour was not exactly helped by a suspected case of haunting.

Short story of 14,500 words in thirteen chapters.


Part Two: Escape From Kilkorne

Zombies are still on the rampage, killing and infecting anyone in their path. A close-knit band of ten uninfected fugitives must prove they are clean by escaping the stricken village where they are trapped by the army. A quarantine cordon surrounds the whole area, with an entire army camp between the village and freedom.

What chance of survival do the fugitives have while zombies are still at large in the English countryside and when a corrupt politician and the Chief Scientist at the Breathdeep Biological Research Facility are intent on their capture, dead or alive? Who will prove to be the more ingenious, the authorities, the fugitives or the zombies?

Short story of 18,500 words in twenty-six chapters.

Part Three: Zombies Go Global

The Minister's plots deepen, the virus goes awol, and Alex and Steve are on the run again. Where will zombies turn up next and can they be stopped from infecting the world? Will Rachel ever appear on TV or will Steve beat her to it? All this and more in the third and final epidemic: the concluding short story in the British zombie trilogy (20,000 words).

How did the UK borders get closed? What happened after zombies broke out of Breathdeep in the first catastrophic rampage? How did Britain survive being cut off from the rest of the world? Answers to all these questions and more.

British Zombie Breakout: Part Two

New out today:
British Zombie Breakout: Part Two

Now that the original story has evolved into a three-parter, the last part of which is currently under construction, it will be released as in three sections. The first, originally entitled British Zombie Breakout, and now re-named as British Zombie Breakout: Part One, has now been joined by Part Two.

Each is a separate standalone story but they are sequential and involve the same characters in the fight to defeat the zombie hordes.

British Zombie Breakout: Part Two - Escape from Kilkorne

Zombies are still on the rampage, killing and infecting anyone in their path. A close-knit band of ten uninfected fugitives must prove they are clean by escaping the stricken village where they are trapped by the army. A quarantine cordon surrounds the whole area, with an entire army camp between the village and freedom.
