Team Darwin, as we fight to make sense of the world crumbling around us, we all need a little escape to take our minds off current events. Game of Thrones will finish after this series and Ipswich Town will be relegated. We have to accept these changes and, when the glow has faded from our day-trips to Margate or Felixstowe, fiction will be there for you.

Some changes have already taken place - my writing beard has sheered from my face. Which means I have good news… the first draft of Survival Machines is complete! Now, clean-shaven and twinkle-eyed, I am editing away what feels like a damn fine book and worthy sibling to Darwin’s Soldiers as the Origin Trilogy expands.

So, rally the troops and let’s get stuck into something positive! These books only exist thanks to your encouragement and generosity, so please share, pledge and go crazy for Survival Machines!
