Peter Thompson remembers how excited he was when he watched the live television transmission of the first astronaut stepping on to the moon. Since that moment, he began to appreciate the vastness of space and the possibility of the existence of alien civilizations.

Award-winning author of Living Proof, this is Peter’s first novel for young readers, born from his love of reading children’s books to his three sons. Peter Thompson grew up in Illinois and lives with his family outside of Chicago.
