      Author’s Note

      This is a work of fiction. Characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of my imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Character names are something else. These were taken from people who I have met in my life (with their consent), because it adds a layer of realism. You won’t find a Max Power or Jasper Selkuckle in these pages. Any resemblance between a character and their namesake is purely coincidental, I only used their names.

      This book is a prelude to my novel The Alethean Legacy, a story spanning three decades – which is also roughly how long these books have taken to write. Details of other short stories that build the Alethean universe are included at the back of the book.

      1991 A.D.

      Doctor Julia Harrison had been in the country for only three weeks, and already the humidity and soaring temperatures both inside and out were starting to take their toll.

      She was dripping with sweat. There was a large
