Enveloper: Volume one in the DI Cedric LeRoy Series

by Nick Adams

Overview

VOLUME ONE IN THE DI CEDRIC LEROY SERIES

It's the mid twenty-first century and as climate change marches on irreversibly, man has begun colonising and mining on the moon. But where humans go, so inevitably does crime.

New Dorchester, the United Kingdom's first moon mining colony has a problem. They have a body, but strangely, they have no idea who he is, or how he got onto the base...and one of their security officers has vanished from the completely sealed establishment.

The Foreign Secretary has requested a senior Metropolitan Police Detective must attend the scene and make some sense of it quickly. DI Cedric LeRoy is instructed to go up there, but for a man who gets sea sick in a canoe, it's not a journey or case he particularly relishes.

Suddenly thrust into a world he doesn't recognise, with multiple factions seemingly trying to thwart the investigation and even kill him at every turn. Can LeRoy succeed in the ultimate test of survival long enough to uncover the face of man's cruellest ever enemy. Author Note:
For the benefit of my awesome fans across the pond, this novel is written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don't recognise. There is, understandably considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved. We do swear a bit in England, just put it down to eccentricity, or maybe our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage.
Now you're all prepared, I hope you enjoy the stories.
Cheers for now
Nick Adams

About the Author

Nick Adams grew up in a small village near Maidstone in Kent, England and right from an early age was a fervent NASA, space and Apollo fan. After watching the first moon landing in 1969 and the subsequent moon missions that followed, he discovered science fiction books and cut his teeth reading Asimov, E. E. Doc Smith and Alan Dean Foster. In more recent times, Andy Weir and Peter F Hamilton to name but two, have joined them on the bookshelves.
After serving in the British Army for several years, Nick became a publican, managing and later owning his own village pubs for a number of years before moving to Brisbane in Australia where he began writing his own space opera, and the Fold series was born.
In late 2018 he returned to the UK, where the next adventures in the series evolved, along with the ‘Bache Loftt’ spin-off series.
Nick writes the kind of stories he would like to read. The Fold Series is set a little in the future and based around upcoming NASA technology. The series features normal everyday people put into extraordinary circumstances, with realistic reactions, humour and language. After all, nobody would say ‘oops’ if a 14km-long alien starship de-cloaked next to them.
Head over to his website to sign up to the Reader Group, and Nick will personally keep you up to date with his bi-monthly newsletters about what novels he’s currently reading, cover reveals, book launch dates and general progress on his current project.
Lastly, don't forget to leave a review if you enjoy the books. It only needs to be a few words and it helps spread the word about these exciting space opera stories.

A personal note from the author

Hi guys.

For the benefit of my awesome readers across the pond, all my novels are written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don’t recognise.

There is, understandably, considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved too. We do swear a bit in England. Just put it down to eccentricity, or our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage.

Another strange trait we sometimes have is using humour in really stressful situations. It helps to keep us sane – just ask anyone who’s been on active service in the British Armed Forces.

Cheers everyone, and I hope you enjoy the stories.
