Ronald D Thompson

Ronald D Thompson is a Company Director of 20 years. In 2016 he decided to fulfil an ambition to pen a novel, culminating in the launch of his debut novel, Earth in Torment, in March 2018. With an avid interest in the possibility of extra-terrestrial life in our Universe, science fiction was the obvious genre.

As a 58 years old family man, he enjoys the full support of his wife, children and grandchildren, in his quest to write a series of science fiction novels. Back in the day, a long time ago, his ambition was to be a session musician, gaining a place to study at the Leeds College of Music in his home town, along the way. Whilst he wasn't destined to be professional musician, writing in more recent years has been the forefront of a new challenge, one he intends to enjoy and make the most of as he nears retirement.

The quote that aptly sums up the thinking behind this series of novels is one of Arthur C Clarke's best "Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
