Accretion is the story of Thomas Carter.
His life is awkward, frustrating & full of stuff he does not like. Thomas is just like me and you.
He's an average man, silently grumbling his way through life, somewhat stifled by his domineering girlfriend and her bullying parents. We meet Thomas just as his life is about to radically change with the apparent chance encounter with the strangest of individuals, Conner Ferrous. Their meeting begins with a murder, which may not be quite as terminal as it might first appear.
Our unlikely heroes are then propelled through space & time to locations near & far. Their adventures lead from the dawn of time, through dinosaur dominated landscapes, Roman cargo ships, Greek islands and idyllic Scottish lochs, to meeting the surprisingly buzzy pan-dimensional police force responsible for the flow of gravity.
The couple loop through time, solving odd mysteries, making new friends and hanging out in the reality departure lounge... until the final confrontation with the destroyer of all things.
All this, without stopping for lunch.
On their travels, we get answers to many universal questions:
- - Is there such a thing as a free lunch?
- - What do the bees do all day?
- - What really killed the dinosaurs?
- - Do creatures live in lochs?
- - Who is Conner Ferrous?
The author has combined his love of science, physics and astronomy to create an adventure containing threads of fact, humour, mystery and suspense running from beginning to end.
The reader will encounter many surprises as the heroes fortunes twist, turn & loop through their many adventures.
Above all, this story is a comedy scifi rollercoaster that aims to keep the reader turning pages and guessing all the way to the end.
About the Author: Graham was born in Glasgow in 1967. His childhood was spent both in the city and the countryside of the north of Scotland; he now lives in central England and is a single parent to his three children. Lifelong interests in Science, Mathematics and Astronomy combined with a career in IT have all given Graham the enthusiasm and level of 'geekdom' to write this story. His off beam sense of humour is sprinkled throughout the writing, as is the ability to gently lampoon society and popular culture. The vast majority of the book was written during hours of insomnia, when the characters, plot lines and ideas for the story took on a life of their own.
