As a child, Terry Edwards developed an interest in both science and spirituality. He felt instinctively that they are not mutually exclusive. He was psychic from an early age. He acquired a BSc degree and an MSc degree. His career was mostly in administration with a scientific slant. During his teens in the Sixties he felt a desire to write a story that would bring science and spirituality together in an entertaining way. He wrote an unpublished novel called The Mandroid. Later he became friendly with a band called The Rubettes who saw potential in the book for a rock opera. They set him to work with Magnus Thor Sigmundsson of Iceland. The musical was never staged. He began writing a new version of The Mandroid in 2008. Missing Time stands as a prequel and a sequel to The Mandroid. The inclusion of the original song lyrics at the end of the book means that it stands alone as a complete story until a further volume appears. Now retired, Terry Edwards lives in Essex, England with his wife June.
