A story of greed, corruption and honour, combining science and visionary speculation that goes from the high frontier to outback Australia.
Born in 1942 at Hokitika, Ian Miller is a fiction novelist whose work explores the scientific, political, and business ideas formulated during his lifetime of travel, business development, and his career as a theoretical and applied scientist. An original and daring thinker, Miller challenges our understanding of both society and the cosmos. The truth, he asserts, may very occasionally be something quite different from what is generally accepted by scientists today.
His fictional writing is deeply affected by his travel and experiences. In 1968, travel behind the Iron Curtain and culminating in entering Czechoslovakia essentially with the invading forces strongly influenced his views on oppression, while the antics of many before the 1988 stock market crash strongly influenced his views on economics and business. He is now semiretired, he still consults on business development, while he writes and obeys the demands of Horatio, his chief rodent removal officer, for more cat food and lap time.
