Praise for Philip C. Quaintrell’s ‘The Terran Cycle’: ‘A breath of fresh air. Philip C Quaintrell is up there with Asher, Hamilton and Banks.’ – Stephen Whitfield – Amazon customer ‘Great blend of sci-fi and fantasy themes, fast-moving and packed with action.’ – Steven Matthews – Amazon customer —- KALIAN GAINES IS A MAN WITH NOTHING TO LOSE. Kalian has chosen to travel through the Conclave’s new Starforge and explore what remains of the Terran Empire. This graveyard of worlds holds secrets long forgotten and better left alone. Regardless of the dangers, however, answers must be found and soon. The threat of the Vanguard looms over the entire Conclave, its purpose; to pave the way for something worse, something ancient. Kalian must adapt and evolve, or risk losing everything in humanity’s battle to not only survive those who seek their extinction, but also their place in the Conclave. Roland North is carving a bloody trail across the criminal underworld, seeking his own answers. He refuses to believe that Li’ara is gone and, if he must, will maim, torture and kill everyone connected to Protocorps to learn the truth. The oldest beings in the known universe have traversed an ocean of stars for a singular war. The only chance for hope has been discovered in the darkest corner of the galaxy where, at last, the heretic has been found… HERETIC IS THE PENULTIMATE CHAPTER IN THIS UNMISSABLE GALAXY-SPANNING EPIC SERIES. —- ‘This is staggeringly good.’ – Kindle customer ‘This series is going to be at the top of my re-read list for the foreseeable future.’ – Jemma R – Amazon customer

Philip C. Quaintrell is the author of the epic fantasy series, The Echoes Saga, as well as the Terran Cycle sci-fi series. He was born in Cheshire in 1989 and started his career as an emergency nurse. Having always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi fiction Philip started to find himself feeling frustrated as he read books, wanting to delve into the writing himself to tweak characters and storylines. He decided to write his first novel as a hobby to escape from nursing and found himself swept away into the world he'd created. Even now he talks about how the characters tell him what they're going to do next, rather than the other way around. With his first book written, and a good few rejected agency submissions under his belt, he decided to throw himself in at the deep end and self-publish. 2 months and £60 worth of sales in, he took his wife out to dinner to celebrate an achievement ticked off his bucket list - blissfully unaware this was just the beginning. Fast forward a year and he was self-publishing book 1 of his second series (The Echoes Saga; a fantasy series written purely as a means to combat his sci-fi writers' block). With no discernible marketing except the 'Amazon algorithm' the book was in the amazon bestsellers list in at least 4 countries within a month. With 7 of 9 books released, the Echoes Saga has now surpassed 300k copies sold worldwide, has an option agreement for a potential TV-series in the pipeline and Amazon now puts Philip's sales figures in the top 1.8% of self-published authors worldwide. Now an official 'Full Time Author' Philip lives in Cheshire, England with his wife and toddler son, and still finds time between naps and wiping snot off his clothes to remain a movie aficionado and comic book connoisseur, and is hoping this is still just the beginning. email: philipcquaintrell@gmail.com - I reply to them all!
