    About this ebook

    The is year 2108, and the paradise world Ancia is found but only a lucky few can get there. Washed-up pilot Johnny ‘TC’ Beggs offers secret passage, for a hefty price. Once he was a hero, a man of space, but when he played by his own rules he ended up on the scrap heap. His daughter Dawn wants him to stay on Earth, but his son Jupe thinks he should go and not come back. His passengers are Rolondo and Rebbi Rees, who want to start a new life, but are already at each other’s throats. Real Munro has plans to create a new nation, but his girlfriend doesn’t want to go with him. Morgan Calp sees big business opportunity, and is prepared to risk losing his trophy wife and three young children to get there. What they don’t expect is a shadowy crew, rumours of unsavoury financiers, a secret travelling companion, and exactly what this new world Ancia is.

    This twisting and turning novel asks what happens when ordinary men and women are placed in trying and terrifying circumstances.

    RB Banfield

    R.B. Banfield lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, a city famous for suffering large earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. His quiet out-of-the-way house suffered minimal damage and yet was deemed "red zone", so through New Zealand government help, he was able to relocate his family to safer ground. Like most Cantabrians, R.B. is well prepared for earthquakes and their aftermaths, by estimating their size, depth and location, and being disappointed in any below a 4.0. Also, like most Cantabrians, R.B. has become very good at driving Christchurch roads and avoiding the numerous and ever changing holes and bumps, not to mention the growing families of orange cones.R.B. had been writing since a young age, beginning with the ambitious Robber's Rock, an exciting children's adventure augmented by pictures cut and pasted from newspapers. His follow up work was an original space yarn set on a space station, where the desperate crew had run low on its supply of space floss.His major hobby is in studying international cricket, which led to his devising a new and better method of statistics. He also thinks himself as a studious movie critic, mostly happy at the state of modern film making, but concerned as to why they can't all be great, and why they can't make some of his own stories into movies. He does have plenty of casting suggestions, and might be willing to help with the scripts.
