Welcome to another book promo/ author spotlight on Lipsyy Lost & Found.
Today I’m spotlighting a renowned author of Science Fiction who is currently re-releasing not one, but nine classic titles – some for the first time in ten years!
Sci-Fi fans who may have missed John E. Stith’s work the first time round are bound to love his unique take on the genre – well-researched, ‘hard’ science fiction which sticks closely to the laws of science and have been praised by Science Fiction Chronicle for being ‘full of wondrous situations and and marvelous discoveries’.
Three of his chosen novels, Deep Quarry, Manhattan Transfer and Reunion on Neverend (details below) have already been re-released so far this year, with one more, Redshift Rendevouz due exactly a week today (check back here next week for more info!).
The fourth book to be re-released, Memory Blank, will be with us in December with a further three titles expected next year.

Ben Takent is a private eye on a hot, dusty world at the edge of the civilized galaxy. When he’s asked to find out who is stealing artifacts from a 10,000-year-old archaeological dig in the desert, he reluctantly takes the case.
