‘Hey,’ Roshi gasps, trying to wave a hand before dropping her head back down.
‘Feeling better?’ the Old Lady asks, peering about at the carnage then back down to their blooded bodies.
They both nod. Glancing at each other. Hurt in their eyes. Pain and worry too, but the love is there. The Old Lady can see it.
‘Good,’ she says quietly. ‘Because I need you both ready.’
‘Ready for what?’ Bear asks, croaking the words out.
‘For our revenge of course,’ she says as they both look up at her. ‘Now get ready. We’re going after Freedom…’
AFTERWORD
Dear Reader,
I really hope you have enjoyed my new book, A Town Called Discovery. Except it’s not really a new book.
Let me explain.
About three years ago (in 2017) I had just finished writing Extinct, the third book in the Extracted series. I had just done some quite heavy Undead books too. I mean heavy in the sense of emotive writing.
I needed a break from that style and so I set about writing something new. Which later became A Town Called Discovery.
Audible then approached me about an exclusive Audible Original Deal and I set about writing The Worldship Humility. Audible loved it and signed me for a three-book deal (advanced bragging alert) which apparently, was one of the first of its kind given to a UK author. Woohooo! (End of bragging alert).
The WSH was then produced and narrated by the fantastic Colin Morgan. The sales were brilliant. The feedback was awesome. Double Woohooo!
I then went back and wrote The Undead 24, (Audio part 20) – and that’s a big book. It’s over 180,000 words and has some huge storylines going on.
After that was straight into the 2nd WSH book. Which is now finished. Again, that is another huge book with a lot of moving parts and some big storylines.
Aaaaaannnnnd then the Coronavirus struck, and the world has stopped turning for a bit.
That means The WSH book 2 cannot be produced or narrated right now, which, in the grand scheme of things, is a teeny tiny issue and doesn’t compare to the staggering levels of suffering being endured by so many. But it does mean the book will be delayed, and right now, we just don’t know how long that will be for.
I was then chatting to my friend about books and I remembered THAT BOOK THAT I DID WRITE AGES AGO. And I thought, with much thinking, that I’d dig it out and blow the cobwebs of it.
I gave it a read and thought actually, this isn’t too bad. I sent it to my pre-reading buddy Phil. Phil read it and said yeah, it’s good fun. Get it out! It’s a lovely distraction with all this stuff going on. A couple of other people then said the same thing as Phil.
At which point I thought, why not? if it gives even a few people a nice break while they are cooped up at home then great.
So, here it is. A Town Called Discovery. I really hope you have enjoyed it, and if you have then please do leave a review, and also go and try my other books :)
As ever, you can drop me a line on my website or on social media. I can’t always reply but I do read everything that comes in.
Much love
RR Haywood

In 2061, a young scientist invents a time machine to fix a tragedy in his past. But his good intentions turn catastrophic when an early test reveals something unexpected: the end of the world.
A desperate plan is formed. Recruit three heroes, ordinary humans capable of extraordinary things, and change the future.
Safa Patel is an elite police officer, on duty when Downing Street comes under terrorist attack. As armed men storm through the breach, she dispatches them all.
'Mad' Harry Madden is a legend of the Second World War. Not only did he complete an impossible mission—to plant charges on a heavily defended submarine base—but he also escaped with his life.
Ben Ryder is just an insurance investigator. But as a young man he witnessed a gang assaulting a woman and her child. He went to their rescue, and killed all five.
Can these three heroes, extracted from their timelines at the point of death, save the world?
THE WORLDSHIP HUMILITY

#1 Amazon bestselling Science-Fiction
“A rollicking, action packed space adventure…”
“Best read of the year!”
“An original and exceptionally entertaining book.”
“A beautifully written and humorous adventure.”
Sam, an airlock operative, is bored. Living in space should be full of adventure, except it isn’t, and he fills his time hacking 3-D movie posters.
Petty thief Yasmine Dufont grew up in the lawless lower levels of the ship, surrounded by violence and squalor, and now she wants out. She wants to escape to the luxury of the Ab-Spa, where they eat real food instead of rats and synth cubes.
Meanwhile, the sleek-hulled, unmanned Gagarin has come back from the ever-continuing search for a new home. Nearly all hope is lost that a new planet will ever be found, until the Gagarin returns with a code of information that suggests a habitable planet has been found. This news should be shared with the whole fleet, but a few rogue captains want to colonise it for themselves.
When Yasmine inadvertently steals the code, she and Sam become caught up in a dangerous game of murder, corruption, political wrangling and...porridge, with sex-addicted Detective Zhang Woo hot on their heels, his own life at risk if he fails to get the code back.
