Homo Superior



As mentioned before The Tomorrow People has always been a firm favourite of Piper Gates despite having plot holes bigger than Mount Everest and special effects which makes classic Doctor Who look like 2001. Like Ace of Wands before it The Tomorrow People is a child of 1960s counterculture and brilliantly of its time. There has been a number of tie in books but they don't really capture the essence of The Tomorrow People so it was decided to create a 'lost novel' which hopefully captures the weird psychedelic world of The Tomorrow People: a world where the lightshow from the Floyd's days at the UFO is housed in a science lab with a wondefully camp robot called TIM who serves burgers and fizzy pop by the means of teleportation. Printed as a very limited run of 15 copies only its printed on 250 gram silk paper and is signed. Available here

Bronson's got to pay


Piper Gates has always loved the movie/ television paperback tie in and pride of place goes to Alan Dean Foster's novelisation of John Carpenter's Dark Star. The mind boggles at how hard it must have been writing that last chapter. Anyhow bearing this in mind (and whilst working on something else) it was decided to create a homage to the classic movie/ television tie in of the 1970s and in particular the genius campfest that was The Tomorrow People.
