MOVING MOOSEVAN

First published by The Women's Press (UK)

Science Fiction       (Reviews)

Moosevan has been moved to a new planet. She didn't want to go, but the machinations of the empire building Mott, Kulp and his cronies and Dax and Reniola, cosmic super intelligences, ensured its destruction.
Moosevan now lives inside the Earth, moving land masses, soaking up pollution, making deserts fertile, and adding interesting twists to motorways.
Unfortunately, the maniacal Mott androids and Kulp have now turned their attention to the Earth. Even worse, Dax and Reniola are sent to deal with them: as one is obsessed with terraforming neighbouring planets, and the other with chintz curtains, the planet dweller is in for another rough, cosmic ride.

Aliens from another dimension are abducting humans. Severing the link could destroy both worlds. The solution is in the hands of a six-foot, purple septuagenarian with a bad attitude and agenda of her own.

The direct descendent of a carnivorous dinosaur has returned to claim the Earth. Commander Pyg sets up her base in the ancient subterranean Ossiane Empire. Nothing can stop her exterminating the human race apart from an eccentric geologist, sceptical science master, and a few surviving Ossianes.
And none of them know about the comet on collision course with the Earth.

Diana is middle-aged, and hears a voice in her head.
The voice belongs to Moosevan. Her world is threatened and she wants Diana’s help, but everyone puts the voice down to the menopause. Yuri believes Diana, though he's usually drunk in charge of a ten inch reflector . Then two cosmic intelligences decide to help. They may understand the Universe; unfortunately the behaviour of minor mortals is beyond them.
