John Pahl

John Pahl has designed a navigation and communication constellation for a Mars Polar Base and predicted mobile phone coverage within the Valles Marineris.  

After he had the mental picture of a boy flying a blimp across the Martian plains, he began to wonder the hows and whys behind the image. This developed into Martian Blood and the Noctilucents trilogy.

He first saw noctilucent clouds while sailing a yacht down the east coast of Greenland, but since then he has seen them from his home in London.

Martian Blood is his first novel.
