I'm modestly proud to mention that I now have over twenty books of short stories published, and a couple of them award winning. However, my first novel was published this month by Eternal Press in the USA, entitled, POINTS OF VIEW. It concerns a blind young Londoner who acquires nanotronic eyes with superhuman abilities. After training, he is appointed as assistant to an extrovert government secret agent. The action thereafter takes place in and around London and on our magical island of Tenerife.
Note: First reviews are glowing. I'm part way into a first sequel, so I'm dreaming that my hero will do a Harry Potter for me..
:jumping:

Hi all
My first speculative novel, POINTS OF VIEW, is now out from Amazon etc. as a Kindle book and a paperback. Other versions are also available. It's about a blind young London who acquires artificial eyes, with superhuman abilities. The price he must pay is to become an apprentice secret agent... which leads him into all kinds of adventures and hazards, and cause his intelligent nanotronic eyes to develop something new when he needs it.
If anyone would care to review it, I can eMail attach a free .pdf version to you directly, if you eMail me to tonythorne@aol.com
- It's published by Eternal Press, of Santa Rosa, California, and the reviews in so far are excellent...even glowing.."

Winter resident Tony Thorne MBE´s three collections of speculative stories, set in and around the magical Spanish island of Tenerife, are now complete and available. The first, award winning, English language book was published in the USA by Whortleberry Press, and now in Europe by Etcetera Press. English paperback and eBook copies of all three volumes are available now from Amazon, and most other outlets.


INTRODUCTION by Harry Harrison: “Tony Thorne has the mind of a scientist and the soul of an artist. His science and technology are correct, his extrapolations wonderful and ingenious. But then – surprise! A blackness may descend – or a brilliant flash of black humour. Read and enjoy…” Harry Harrison, the legendary American author of more than 20 novels, several film scripts, and many collections of short stories. His books have been translated into over 30 languages.

Tony Thorne‘s first volume in his TENERIFE TALL TALES trilogy, won a New York `Best Read on the Beach´ Festival Contest in the Speculative Fiction category. Review copies of all three volumes in the series are now available directly from the author via his website.

“An exotic island, one of the Canary Islands, Tenerife certainly seems like an appropriate place for adventure. And when a scientific design engineer with a taste for Science Fiction decides to set his speculative tall tales there amazing adventures do, indeed, ensue. Set, for the most part, in the near future, the tales use very believable twists on emergent technology, sometimes ours and sometimes possibly from some other place entirely. What Thorne creates in Tenerife is a world where the reader never knows what to expect under the sea, in caves, on the land and in the air. The island becomes, in various tales, a land where animals act as intelligently as humans, where attempts to handle environmental issues have very unexpected results, where exotic locations and experimental science create sometimes dark, sometimes humorous, and always amazing and utterly intriguing results. Tony Thorne's grasp of the science that looms just over the horizon and his love for Science Fiction come together, in these stories, to create speculative fiction of the very best kind.”- by Rhetta Akamatsu, Author and Reviewer, USA.

Amazon is now featuring my latest novel in the Points of View series. I'll send anyone a free copy (.pdf format) if they'll kindly let me have a few words, or especially a full review, after reading it.
