About the Book

In a future where nuclear war us on the verge of beginning, where Superpowers fight over petty materials and and mass destruction takes only a political mistake, a peace mission into space seems to be the only solution. Five brave astronauts are brought in from each nation to step into the breach and rebuild the political landscape. But when the ship disappears with all hands presumed lost, sabotage is immediately assumed... Focussing specifically on the personal victims of cold war, Imperial Nova follows the crew of the UESPA-2 Hawking after their disappearance. As the crew strive for human contact, they grow more paranoid and irritable, and are forced to confront the true nature of their assignment. Realising they are expendable cast-offs that had no use in a time of war. The story of "The Best of What's Left" suffering psychological distress is explored in a disturbing context. One that delves deeper into the cold politics of war.
About the Author: Rory F. Joscelyne is a British writer from the county of Essex, England. Having grown up in a troubled area of the county, he formed an opinionated view from an early age. This helped form the basis for his interest in human relations and the criminality of those with power. Having successfully completed University, he focussed on acting both on stage and on TV before finding his voice in text. This experience of stage and screen enabled him the ability to further explore the characters and not shy away from scanning into the darker sides of a person's psyche. Trying to find his voice was not a quick or simple manner, however. Imperial Nova was four years in the writing and a difficult book to complete due to the isolated nature of the characters, in fact the entire second half saw a complete rewrite only four months prior to completion due to Rory's dissatisfaction with the original ending. After struggling to find how to write his voice in Imperial Nova, he is far more confident in continuing that savage edge in future novels. Having no money and no contacts, he decided to compose his own unique marketing campaign using the skills and friendships he'd developed. This included finding new ways to print the novel, utilising the internet with sites such as Kickstarter and developing sites as adverts for the novels, scripting, learning animation to create special effects shots out of Jesper Ullbing's artwork, storyboarding and directing a cinematic trailer and working with musician Broken Bit to develop a musical theme for the novel series.
