Who's Killing the Planet for Pizza?
Noah Vale: Book 1
Out May 2026
Sixteen-year-old Noah Vale loves science, hates bullies, and definitely does not believe in aliens. That changes the day a chef is murdered by lightning on a clear day.​​ As Noah investigates, he uncovers impossible truths about his missing grandfather and his own unexplained abilities. The clues point to something far bigger than a local murder: a cosmic feud, enemies hiding in plain sight, and a universal bank preparing to repossess Cornwall… possibly Earth.
​
What Noah doesn’t know is that long ago, before her explosive divorce from Dark Matter, Mother Nature hid her favourite planet in witness protection. Earth survived, unnoticed, until someone invented Quantum Pizza, the most addictive food substance in the Universe.
Now the countdown has begun. This isn’t just a murder mystery. When the clock hits zero, the planet disappears.
Can Noah crack the case in time, or will Earth become collateral damage in a tragic cosmic breakup?
QUANTUM PIZZA is the first book in the Noah Vale Mysteries, a high-concept YA science-fiction mystery for curious teens and adults who enjoy wit, satire, and big ideas.

Can Noah and his friends find the weapon, avoid being turned into werewolves, uncover a billion-year-old conspiracy and foil a planet killer to save the world?
​
And will Noah ever get in touch with his feelings?​​​​​
