Synopsis

A long vacation sounds like heaven, and the surprise legacy – a grand piano – ought to be the ideal opportunity for Jaya to introduce Silas and Tan to her Terran childhood home. So why does she feel so frightened? She quickly learns her fears are far from imaginary. She and Silas must tackle the spectre of a long-hidden crime and confront both the murderer – and his victims! Erich thinks he has found the ideal holiday job – checking over brand new engines. But that is just the bait: he, Sonshi and Mikhail find themselves crash-landed on a supposedly uninhabited planet, pursued by enemies – and hostile locals! Meanwhile Phrys reluctantly turns secret agent – and becomes caught up in a web of violence and death that will haunt him forever.

A long-time Dr Who fan and early Trekkie, her short stories and poems have appeared in Star Trek publications. A psychology graduate and qualified teacher, Janet has also worked in anthropology and in medical research. She is now an independent editor and proof-reader. Her other interests include music, the theatre, gardening, horses, and (armchair!) archaeology. Janet is married to the novelist Steven Roy Evans and lives in Cambridge.
