Having defeated the evil that forced the inhabitants of Paxlene, both human and animal to seek refuge at night in well lit locations. They attempt to return to Earth but reach it just before a large asteroid crashes into the Earth. They manage to cocoon a few isolated places then turn their faces back towards Paxlene. Shortly into their journey they discover that they can no longer access their controls and their course has been changed. Intercepted by friends from Paxlene both vessels are pulled towards, but not into, what they believe to be a black hole. They are met by another vessel whose occupants beg for help in sorting a problem on their planet. After much discussion and a visit to Paxlene, they agree to go with the strangers, although they are aware that there is something strange about them. They find that what they believed to be a black hole is in fact a Wormhole through space. They pass through and come out in a new galaxy and land on the planet Traymar. As they come in they are confronted by dragons. Their new friends cannot understand why they are so calm. As when they approached it appeared the whole planet was on fire. Adventure follows and two of our characters are eventually changed. They have to work hard to be accepted into this society. Another form of evil is encountered and defeated followed by another attempt to return to Earth. The story continues with the final book 'Restitution'.
Chris Marshall was born in London in 1947. Educated first at Kilburn Grammar School from 1958 to 1965 and then gained a BSC from St Andrews University in 1969..Employed first by Brooke Bond Liebig and then by Charing Cross Hospital Medical School where he obtained a PhD for research into gastric hormones, again from St Andrews University in 1979. It was immediately after gaining the PhD that the germ of the idea for a book took hold and the first version of Starstruck was completed in 1980 / 1981. Not finding a publisher it was put away for 25 years, until the manuscript was suddenly rediscovered in 2015. Extensively rewritten as technology had advanced so much (no mobile phone in original version) and now twice the original length it has now been published. Starstruck did not end the story, however and this book continues the adventures of those characters and introduces some new ones, all of which spawned a third book to follow this one, Wormhole. Married, and with two children from his first marriage, he has four grandchildren and also two step children, five step grandchildren and a step great grandson. Shortly after gaining the PhD Chris' career took a sharp turn into computer programming which covered many computer languages, some of which have now gone out of use. Working for Charing Cross Hospital, then Vamp Health, the Royal London Dental Institute and finally for CeLSIUS (Centre for Longitudinal Studies and User Support) first at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and finally at University College London. Chris enjoys reading, singing (was forty five years with the Royal Choral Society but now singing locally), gardening, and, when opportunity arises, travelling.
