The Loom Fold

Admiral Bache Loftt’s son, Ballatech, has been taken. Abducted from his laboratory on Erevna Research Station evidently by the Klatt. For some unspecified reason the GDA council has declined to act. Admiral Loftt immediately resigns his commission and recruits his friend Edward Virr to assist in the search for his boy.

Ballatech’s recent research files tell the rest of the story. Substrate fold theory—jump drive architecture at a level nobody thought possible. Nicknamed the Loom, it’s revolutionary in the right context. In the wrong hands, it could be manipulated into a nightmare that rewrites the balance of power across every humanoid system in the galaxy. Not a weapon, exactly. Worse than a weapon. An eraser. A ship, space station, or even planet eraser.

Finding Ballatech is only the beginning. The Loom cannot fall into the wrong hands—and on Dasos, the home planet of the GDA, something evil is coming in from the dark. Edward, Bache and the crew of the Gabriel have three problems. They are not unrelated and all seemingly impossible to overcome.

Author Note:

For the benefit of my awesome fans across the pond, this novel is written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don’t recognise. There is, understandably considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved. We do swear a bit in England, just put it down to eccentricity, or maybe our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage.

Another unusual trait of the Brits, is to use humour in stressful situations. Just ask anyone who’s been on active service with the British Armed Forces. It helps to keep one sane!

Now you’re all prepared, I hope you enjoy the stories.

Cheers for now

Nick Adams
