In The Nick of Time: Martin Toll adventures, #1

By Dave Richards

This isn't your typical science fiction story. It is not set in the future, or is it set in the past? It is in the here and now and could be happening right now, and it may have happened to you! From Cornwall to the other side of the galaxy, join Martin Toll as he becomes a somewhat reluctant hero and saves people who call for help here and elsewhere in the Milky Way.

It is full of action and adventure, so if you want to get your imagination brimming, take a trip with Martin Toll!

Dave Richards

Born in Penzance, Cornwall in 1967, Dave Richards grew up in the Cornish countryside surrounded by nature. He always had a passion for science and science fiction, so after having a vivid dream at the age of thirteen, he knew that there was an opportunity to make something great out of it. Now living in Wiltshire, working as an engineer, his passion for science fiction has culminated in this book, the first in the series of Martin Toll adventures.
