New World (Llewelyn)

DINOSAUR is the first novel in the New World Series. An insane plan is hatched to save humanity. Fighting to stop it could doom us all. When every action and decision may determine the fate of everyone who has ever lived, the right choice is not always clear. However, for one man, there is no choice at all... Captain James Douglas sets off on a mundane transport and supply mission which quickly descends into disaster. Leading a fledgling society through a wild and hostile world was not part of his brief. Neither was the custodianship of all human life, history and endeavour. Worse still, the knowledge of a boy, just days out of school, may be all that stands between mankind and extinction. The crew and passengers of the USS New World are lost almost 100 million years ago in Mid-Cretaceous Gondwana. It is the time of the dinosaur. The castaways follow a trail of mystery. Battling conflicting evidence, misinformation and baffling discoveries they hope to reveal who has placed them in such terrible danger, why, and most importantly, what on ancient Earth can they do about it? ----------------------------------------------------- Tim Norris was a nerd, an outcast, a 'nobody'. When his lifelong fascination with natural history and paleontology became crucial to the very survival of over a hundred people, he was suddenly a 'somebody'. In his wildest dreams he could never have foreseen that he would travel to Patagonia and document such incredible creatures as Mapusaurus roseae and Argentinosaurus huinculensis, in context and from their own time in the Mid-Cretaceous. The ancient world was both a place of awesome natural beauty and bowel-clenching terror. The crew and passengers of the New World are surrounded by peril without and stalked by enemies within, but when compared with the desperately overcrowded, dystopian 22nd century in which he grew up, Tim wouldn't change a thing.

The eagerly anticipated sequel to DINOSAUR After their leader is taken, the remaining crew of the USS New World are in danger of losing heart. Freshly minted Captain Jill Baines feels the loss more acutely than anyone, yet she must somehow bring them all together to face the increased threat of an enemy whose power is growing by the hour. Old friends and new adversaries become embroiled in the confrontation as a devastating new weapon is unveiled. Baines' courage and ingenuity are tested to the limit as she is left with just one course of action - attack, and quickly. The extraordinary wildlife of Cretaceous Gondwana makes survival a challenge, but also provides an unexpected ally. Political rumblings and further treachery at home threaten to crack the fledgling human society into pieces, and Baines must choose between destroying the enemy weapon and saving her best friend's life. Tim Norris proposes a daring plan to attempt both, which sets him on the darkest journey of all... alone.

Stunned by Tim Norris' betrayal and unexpectedly trapped in the Cretaceous Period, Heidi Schultz's mission to re-write the future is in tatters. If she is to resurrect and enforce her grandfather's very own manifest destiny, she will need help. Luckily, she knows exactly where to find it, but getting there will require all her resolve and ruthless cunning. Captain James Douglas and his crew have no way of knowing where or when the USS New World has landed, only that they are stuck there, trapped within a ship that will never fly again. Buried alive, the discovery of Holocene Epoch grass fires hope for their survival - they may even be home. However, emerging into a world of brutality, Captain Jill Baines discovers they did not travel alone. Praise for Stephen Llewelyn: "A highly suspenseful time travel adventure, combining a clever mix of detailed prehistory and history throughout - not to mention some great bad guys. The twists and turns really keep you guessing, while the darkness and humour really keep you reading. Not to be missed." ~ Black Sheep Books The New World Series: AD2112, and one of the darkest political movements in recent history hides in the shadows, once more poised for a second stab at power. However, an accidental discovery leading to time travel emboldens them to think even bigger - and their plan is simple: erase everyone, start again. The crew of the USS New World are thrown into a nightmare. Finding themselves initially in the Cretaceous Period, they must survive and find a way home. All the while, a constant and ruthless enemy presses them hard. Collateral damage seems inevitable as they begin the journey home, to an unknown future.

Douglas' grief sets him on the warpath for revenge, completely unaware of an unstoppable new type of wormhole unleashed upon Cretaceous Earth. History unravels as Heidi sets about resurrecting the long-dead Nazi Party through a dinosaur scam from very ancient Egypt - and after arguing about whether 'unsurvivable' is actually a word, some of the New World's crew must escape, leaving behind all that remains...

The final chapter in the New World series and the most exciting yet. Heidi Schultz's schemes for world domination have come undone, so she turns the tables by undoing causality itself. Caught on the ground, Captain Douglas and his crew scramble to stop her and reverse the temporal chaos unfolding, but when Heidi gains control of the UNS New World, they are scattered through Earth's deep history across thousands, even millions, of years. While they fight to regroup, Heidi's disturbing plan to save herself and the Schultz family grows more desperate than anything she has tried before - eclipsed only by Chief Hiro Nassaki's plan to stop her. With everything now to lose, old friends, new friends and old enemies must pick a side if they are to stop... the collision. New World series of time travel books. Historical fiction and dinosaur science fiction combined to create 100 million years of adventure.
