About the author:
Peter Greene is the author of "The Adventures of Jonathan Moore Series" and The "Glasśigh of Ganymede Trilogy."
GLASŚIGH of GANYMEDE TRILOGY: Light of Ganymede (2021), (book 2 and 3 coming soon).
My first Science fiction book is a modern-day "Stranger in a Strange Land" with a twist or two. I think some stories have to be told in a setting that is not Earth. If you see our world as it is today, no matter what your political or social situation may be, we can all agree: it's a different place than it was just a few years ago. It is polarized. People are polarized. But some use their position to better the world, help others and bring justice.
Light of Ganymede is an exciting and funny tale that touches on many subjects, but touching your heart is its best trait.
ADVENTURES OF JONATHAN MOORE SERIES: Warship Poseidon (2010), Castle of Fire (2013), Paladin's War (2017)
I've always loved the classic sea stories in Stevenson's "Treasure Island," Forester's "Horatio Hornblower" and O'Brian's "Jack Aubrey" series. The excitement of tall ships during the age of sail, traveling to unknown shores, racing across stormy seas, and hearing the roar of rippling broadsides always thrilled me. But I couldn't help thinking that for most of us, unless one had supporting texts and companion guides to get through all the jargon and technicalities, one could easily become lost–and maybe surrender to something easier to read. That would be too bad.
So I did something about it.
I kept the characters and the action historically accurate for a Nelson-era navy. Still, I took it easy on the terminology and more unsavory aspects of life at sea. And the things you do really need to know, well, wouldn't it be best to learn that along with the characters? The ones that started out as land-lubbers just like you and your kids? I also avoided all magic, superpowers, and paranormal material. That's all fun – but none of us will ever discover we have wizards or Olympians for parents or mystical abilities. For this series, I wanted to point out that real heroes do exist, and they have throughout history. The Adventures of Jonathan Moore books are about one would-be hero and his friends who try to succeed using only their courage, their wits, and industry alone – no magic necessary.
I hope you enjoy these adventures and read more about this exciting period. Though I can never fill the shoes of Stevenson, Forester, or O'Brian, I can follow in their footsteps.
