Science, fiction and semi-factual scare stories for our time
BRITISH author Alex Scarrow writes thrillers that often envisage alternative realities which are sometimes quite dark and unsettling. His first novel, A Thousand Suns, begins with a trawler finding a B17 bomber aircraft containing a terrifying secret from the Second World War.
In a similar vein, his extremely successful Time Rider series for teenagers — his sixth book will come out in August — features a team of time-riders who are rescued from death and work in a secret agency preventing illegal time travel from impacting on normal time.
