Author Biography
Alex Woolf played the drums and travelled on his motorbike before settling down as an author. His "Chronosphere" trilogy, a science fiction adventure set in the 22nd century, is published by Scribo.
ReviewsA superbly conceived and executed series, Heinemann's introduction to disasters prepares readers for global news, as well as threats to home and self. This series is an excellent, sensibly priced choice for homeschooling, classrooms, and public libraries.-- "VOYA"
