  REVIEW SEA STATION UMBRA

  John Paul Cater, a retired engineer and scientist, has authored many works under the name John P. Cater. Dating back to 1983, the first books he published were non-fiction instructional works on computer speech technology.

  HW Sams & Co. Inc, 1983, ISBN 0-672-21947-6

  Electronically Hearing: Computer Speech Recognition

  HW Sams & Co. Inc, 1984, ISBN 0-672-22173-X

  Many years later, after working with the astronauts at Johnson Space Center's Astronaut Office, he changed his preferred genre to fictional astronomy and technology, and began writing hard science fiction in 2004. Published works since then are listed below:

  He now continues to write in both e-book and paperback formats, supplying his readers with thrilling and entertaining reading experiences.

  This book, Sea Station Umbra, is his second venture out of the sci-fi genre into the world of speculative techno-thrillers. Hope you enjoyed it!
