Dropped in It
Colin Hall was born in 1921 and narrowly escaped being flung into a river as a newborn baby. He was rescued and adopted to live his childhood in the beauty of the Cotswolds in the English countryside at the village of Broadway.

Federation Complete Trilogy
THREE BOOKS FOR THE PRICE OF TWO (816 pages) FEDERATION Complete Trilogy - is controversial, political, near-future science fiction for the reader who enjoys using their own imagination to think about how the world might react to real alien contact from vastly advanced civilisations. When the first volume was released, it became the subject of vitriolic hatred by readers of a particular political persuasion who seemed incapable of understanding that they were reading a speculative and imaginative story. Instead, they believed the stories were actually a political treatise, and wrote angry reviews which clearly showed that they failed to grasp the difference between fiction and fact. They wer...

Federation
The author wishes to make it very clear that this book has nothing to do with Star Trek. Recent review: 5 stars "A fascinating combination of science and politics this is a thrilling read." - wondrous science fiction for the thinking person! FEDERATION takes close encounters to a whole new level. An oft-used and laughed about sentence is when an alien arrives and asks, "Take me to your leader!" What if this really happened? Who is the leader? There is no world leader - only many individuals who would like to be. Federation takes the answer seriously and so begins a trilogy which has compared with Foundation with aliens. A galactic empire of a quarter of a million worlds stumbles across the E...
