Bartes diCherval and his team have broken their conditioning and escaped from their Zelynan captors, but at a terrible cost. Two of them were killed during their trek through Silvana, and a third may just have given her life so that the rest could escape across the border to Telphania. Now all they had to do was evade their enemies, both human and inhuman, long enough to return home and foil the plot in which they were embroiled, a star-spanning conspiracy whose aims and origins were a mystery. Above all, who - if anyone - could they trust? And what of their team-mate who stayed behind, John D'Arcy? Could he find a way to free himself and re-join his compatriots? And what secret was he hiding which might shatter the team? Twilight in Telphania is the second book in a Science Fiction saga of intrigue, horror and adventure.

Talia is a Hero of Pregeor. Or is she? Why are they trying to kill her? Who are her friends? Who are her enemies? Sunset in Silvana is the first book in a Science Fiction saga of intrigue, horror and adventure. Ruine is a devastated planet. Millennia ago, during the war between the Forerunners and the Ancients, its moons were pulverised to form rings, and most of its atmosphere was burnt off. With a thin sulfurous atmosphere, it was not an attractive prospect for colonisation, but eventually a hardy group of pioneers managed to make its single remaining fertile continent habitable. Now, tensions between the two major territories on this continent, Zelyna and Telphania, are high. War seems inevitable. Talia Milanova and her friends had, they had been told, helped to evacuate refugees from Pregeor - not that they recalled it, the trauma of the disaster having wiped their memories. Now, people were trying to kill them, and strange memories were beginning to surface. Who were they really?
