The novel is called, 'Planetoid Trilogy', and consists of the three books: 'Star Island' (2022), 'Three Fates' (2023), and 'Phoenix' (2024).

He posts news of his writing, and science related topics, on the Seaswell Publishing site's Blog.
He posts occasionally on Facebook (usually relating to his writing).
He also comments from time to time on electric power and energy matters on LinkedIn.
Cameron was encouraged to write his ‘Planetoid Trilogy’ novel by recent developments in modern science, especially in astrophysics and quantum mechanics.
The following topics also provided inspiration for his story:
One particular theme in the novel was the question as to whether a technically advanced civilization could overcome the implied dangers of the Fermi Paradox!
The Fermi Paradox asks whether or not there are technically evolved extraterrestrial alien civilizations hidden amongst the stars of our Milky Way galaxy that may have managed to avoid extinction from a so called ‘great filter’.
The further question then arises, can humanity avoid such an extinction in our near future from some such a ‘great filter’ as proposed by the ‘paradox’? The possibilities for disaster are many, including from self inflicted causes, but also from the Universe itself.
