    About this ebook

    Bert strives to liberate an alien planet and places ours in peril.

    On the planet Ewepiter, space invaders nicknamed The Guardians farm the inhabitants for the flesh of their children. To escape, or find help, a small group of Ewepitarians use an age-forgotten technology to open a port through the universe. They stumble onto Earth, at a place called The Stables, on the outskirts of London. Mistaken as a bunch of homeless dwarfs, they’re assigned a house at number three, Flintstone terrace.

    Big oafish Bert lives at number one, Flintstone terrace. The Ewepitarians entice him to visit their world and whisk him back to Ewepiter. Despite his fierce appearance, Bert has a warm heart and does all he can to free his new friends from the evil Guardians. Unwittingly, in his clumsy manner, Bert puts Earth in mortal danger...

    James Field

    I was born in Essex, England, in 1951.My early days of work as an engineer led me to Norway where I met my future wife Kari. She moved to England where we married and raised our two daughters. We moved back to Norway in 1985.My wife and I now live far in the north, well within the Arctic Circle, in the land of the midnight sun. Life here is slow and comfortable, blessed by unspoilt nature and its magnificent moods.Being creative in the written form gives me vast pleasure. I hope, dear reader, you will take a break from your world and lose yourself in one of mine.

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by
