This would grow throughout the years, as he would come to make a name for himself as an author, developing both his voice and his style. Heavily immersing himself in science-fiction literature, he’d find his own idiosyncratic approach to the genre.

This would also see him watching a lot of Star Trek as well, something that would also come to influence him in the years to follow. Twice dropping out of college, as well as working in accounting and graphic design, he would stick with his love of writing throughout, which he continues to do to this day with a lot more set on the horizon.

He would also write alongside various other authors, including Scott Bartlett and Daniel Young, as he would produce a lot of work in relatively short amount of time. Prior to this he would publish quite a few short-stories to various science-fiction outlets, making him the writer he continues to be to this very day.

This instalment in the series sees a lot of intrigue to it, as it has quite a few mystery elements to the story. This, coupled with its exciting pace, ensures that it really works on a number of different level, really taking the series up a level. A lot of attention to character has also been spared, as it makes sure to fully flesh out each of its unique and engaging protagonists.

Bringing something back that’s more powerful than anybody could’ve possibly imagined, the Elixr has retrieved more than just a simple cure. There are now those who wish to take it back by any means necessary, and nothing will stand in there way, as they will do whatever it takes. Can they manage this in time though? Will they be able to overcome the obstacles that are in their way? What will become of Destroyr, the last starship?
