What is Tales from the Triverse? There are so many more of you reading this newsletter now, or passing by on ways to parts unknown, that it’s time for a re-introduction.

It's a gritty police procedural set in 1970s London, each case shining a light on the dark corners of society. Each story deals with a particular case and doesn't shy away from difficult topics. People trafficking, drug addiction, illegal immigration, fraud, murder, terrorism, police corruption. It's about the news and the society we live in.

It's also science fiction, .diving into the far future to see what becomes of humanity. There are spaceships, flying cars, robots, AI superintelligences. Humanity has colonised the solar system, with stories visiting settlements on Mars, Enceladus and Venus. Go inside the asteroid Ceres, or travel the space elevator into Earth orbit.

It's high fantasy, journeying across an unknown land, where magic is real and there are monsters in every cave and canyon. Feudal city states battle with native insurgents lurking in the forests, while fire breathing dragons guard people's houses and dig the mines. The universities rule over everything, pushing at the boundaries of what is possible and the fabric of reality.

Tales from the Triverse is, madly, all of those things.
