Currently, I have written seven science fiction stories. Federation is the first of a trilogy and Moonstruck is the second in a series about astronaut Mark Noble. All my books can be found at https://harmsworth.net including signed paperbacks.

He unwittingly embarks on an exciting trail of events with twists, turns, quantum entanglement and temporal anomalies. It becomes an unbelievable adventure to save humanity which you’ll be unable to put down.
The Door is an intriguing and unique science fiction mystery.

FEDERATION takes close encounters to a whole new level. A galactic empire of a quarter of a million worlds stumbles across the Earth. With elements of a political thriller, there is an intriguing storyline which addresses the environmental and social problems faced by the world today.
The aliens’ philosophy on life is totally unexpected. With the help of intelligent automatons, they've turned what many on Earth felt was a reviled political system into a utopia for the masses, but are they a force for good or evil, and will the wealthy make the compromises needed for a successful outcome?
A Daragnen university graduate, Yol Rummy Blin Breganin, discovers that Earth failed in its attempt to join the Federation, and, for some unknown reason, members are forever banned from visiting or contacting the planet. Rummy had never heard of a whole world being outlawed. Perhaps it would be sensible to leave well enough alone but no, he decides to investigate…
Some readers have considered this series some sort of left-wing propaganda, but it isn’t. It is a story, a work of imagination and should be read as such. However, if you have trouble telling science fiction from reality, or if your political convictions are so fanatical that you can never see the ‘other point of view’ then you might be better reading my other books.
FEDERATION is the first in the trilogy. The second volume, FEDERATION AND EARTH is also available. HIDDEN FEDERATION is due out in June 2020. The trilogy has been compared with the writing of Asimov and Banks.
Submerge yourself in humankind’s cultural and economic dilemma with FEDERATION.
MINDSLIP: The radiation from Betelgeuse turning supernova causes every creature on Earth to swap minds! Men to women, children to adults, animals to humans, old to young, and vice versa. How would you handle changing sex or species? Mindslip combines frightening science fiction with psychological anguish.
The change in astrophysicist Geoff Arnold is challenging, and his wife and children have vanished. He joins the government’s catastrophe committee with the brief to find a solution to Mindslip before it completely destroys society and the economy.
Millions die! Billions survive danger, harassment and abuse, and manage to adapt to their change of species, race, sex, and age. Geoff discovers that the change his wife has experienced is life-threatening. Can he juggle his new life, help save the world and rescue his wife in time?
This stand-alone work is unique. Science fiction with elements of soft horror, all in the style of the old masters. A real page-turner. I’ve been told that this is reminiscent of the late, great John Wyndham’s masterpieces.
Become part of the bizarre, yet realistic world of MINDSLIP. Its reviews are the best of all of my books.
