It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we can announce the world release of Ian C. Douglas‘ fourth instalment in the middle grade Zeke Hailey series, Electron’s Blade.

“Douglas’ Zeke Hailey series is wonderful, in every sense of the word,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG. “There’s precious few quality middle grade/young teen science fiction set in a far distant future, with action at its centre, and in many ways optimistic for humanity – this is definitely one of them. Kudos to Douglas and we are looking forward to publishing the final instalment next year.”

Electron’s Blade is available worldwide in all good bricks and mortar stores as well as online, and in all ebook formats.

It’s war! Ruthless terrorists force the Governor of Mars into military action.

Only one boy can stop the bloodshed. Psychic teenager Zeke Hailey speaks the ancient Martian language. He alone can figure out the riddle of Electron’s Blade. This mysterious alien artefact may hold the secret to peace on the red planet. Both the Governor and rebel colonists seek Zeke’s help. But which side should he trust?

As old foes return, the conflict rapidly escalates. Zeke discovers that nowhere, not even his beloved school for psychics, is safe from the warfare. But is there a deeper conspiracy at work? Who are the shadowy Martian State Brigade? And what of the Spiral, still haunting Zeke’s visions? Is Zeke a pawn in a game played since the dawn of time? Will he stop the apocalypse, or release it?

It’s never too late to buy all the books in the series, and enjoy this futuristic adventure set on Mars.
