Drednanth: A Tale of the Final Fall of Man - Paperback

by Andrew Hindle (Author)

It began as a simple rescue operation. Then Thord, a seven-million-year-old immortal telepathic yeti, joined the crew. After that it was still a rescue operation, but it all started getting a bit weird. "Drednanth" is the story of the Astro Tramp 400 and her intrepid and slightly-battered crew, as they cross the galaxy in order to throw some of their passengers off the edge of it. In the process, they hope to discover more about the alien menace apparently bent on destroying their civilisation out from under them, survive the vengeful attentions of a school of highly-intelligent cybernetic sharks, and maybe even find out what the heck they're all doing in space in the first place. They have a lot to learn. But what else is new?

Author Biography

Andrew Hindle was born in Western Australia before its independence and secession (which actually still hasn't happened yet, but any day now...), where he lived a happy and fulfilling life full of robots and aliens and starships and in later years also some alcohol. In 2000 he moved to Finland to be with his Internet Girlfriend, because it seemed like the "future-y" thing to do. They got married, he got a job, then he got a better job, then they had a kid, then he got cancer, then they had another kid ... your basic human story, really. But he likes it. He hopes you like this one he wrote, too.
