The Comeback of the King: The Second Ted Gorse Adventure

by Ben Jeapes

Overview

The second Ted Gorse Adventure, sequel to THE TEEN, THE WITCH & THE THIEF. It is the week before Christmas, and Ted's life is roughly back on course after the events of the summer. Personal loss, the brief ability tocommand the world-destroying Knowledge, and a showdown with the mad magician who had shaped his life are behind him. And then the King appears in Salisbury. Who is the King? No one seems to know, but he rules the city, and the city is happy to be ruled. Even Ted's nearest and dearest are under his spell. It seems the only person able to disobey him is Ted himself. The King wants Ted, and he doesn't wish him well.

About the Author

An overdose of TV science fiction as a child doomed Ben Jeapes to life as a science fiction author. He took up writing in the mistaken belief that it would be quite easy (it isn't) and save him from having to get a real job (it didn't).

Hence, as well as being the author of several novels and short stories, he is also an experienced journal editor, book publisher and technical writer. His novels to date are HIS MAJESTY'S STARSHIP, THE XENOCIDE MISSION, TIME'S CHARIOT, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, PHOENICIA'S WORLDS, THE TEEN. THE THIEF & THE WITCH, and THE COMEBACK OF THE KING.

His short story collection JEAPES JAPES is also available, containing 18 short stories originally published in INTERZONE, FANTASY & SCIENCE FICTION and other venues.

His ambition is to live to be 101 and 7 months, so as to reach the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings and the arrival - as family lore has it - of the man responsible for his surname in the British Isles. He is English, and is as quietly proud of the fact as you would expect of the descendant of a Danish mercenary who fought for a bunch of Norsemen living in northern France.

He lives in Abingdon-on-Thames, United Kingdom, and his homepage is at www.benjeapes.com.
