The Owner of the Crown Trilogy
The Owner of the Crown: a sci-fi odyssey the likes of which English literature has never known before—that’s Geordies for you!
This is a sci-fi trilogy set in the year 2026 where extreme right-wing governments around the world are gaining their grip on the masses. London born Dr Pearson is a teacher of mathematics teaching in an excellent school in Cambridge. That is until he is sent to the toughest school in the country in Blyth, Northumberland by the governmental authorities. Why? So that these nefarious authorities can almost certainly force Dr Pearson into committing a sackable offence or perhaps suffering a mental breakdown and hence allowing them to legally steal his teacher’s pension. However, amazingly, this extremely unfair and stressful immense pressure is the least of Dr Pearson’s problems as he and some of his downtrodden yet highly talented and comedic inimitable Geordie pupils are drawn into a battle to save the Multiverse! This trilogy is usually described as T. J. P. Campbell’s splendiferous Geordie sci-fi trilogy.
The setting for the novel is based on T. J. P. Campbell’s experiences living and working for a brief period in a Blyth school. Although the characters in the novel are fictitious, the school building and roads mentioned in the first part of the trilogy are based on real counterparts.
The trilogy is cross-over writing and can be read by readers of ages from about 11 (and sometimes less) to 111 (and sometimes more).
The three books in order are:
Book 1: The Eccentric Crosser
AVAILABLE AT AMAZON ON AUGUST 6, 2024
Book 2: Saliman Attacks
AVAILABLE AT AMAZON ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2024
Book 3: The Ultimate Battle
AVAILABLE AT AMAZON ON OCTOBER 1, 2024
This series follows mainly through the point of view of Dr Pearson and a little through nine of his young Geordie pupils. The story is packed with many different types of aliens and strange creatures. For instance, it includes religious, agnostic and atheist angels (a special type of alien). The religious angels believe in God and His Angels of Light.
The trilogy is highly dramatic affair. In fact, the freedom of the Multiverse (the parallel universes related to the one we live in) is at stake. It is indeed the gravest of situations.
So, are you ready to follow the drama, the suspense and mystery, the painstalking jeopardy, the indisputable unputdownableness of it all? Ready to experience an impossibly incredible adventure through a number of different alternative realities involving parallel worlds, after-life worlds, subterranean lands beneath the English North Sea, not to mention shifts in Dimension, Time and Space? Then here’s your chance!

T. J. P. CAMPBELL’S LETTER OF INSPIRATION FOR HIS THE OWNER OF THE CROWN TRILOGY:
Dear Reader,
I was initially inspired to write The Owner of the Crown trilogy by my fruitless attempts to teach some Geordie pupils in Blyth, Northumberland a number of years ago.
Some strange goings on took place at the school I taught in— very strange. And even though this trilogy involves ghosts, aliens, afterlife worlds and starships, there are noisy rumours it portrays a true story.
You might be interested to know that a few years after I left the school, it was completely demolished. Flattened into a car park. The school being Blyth Delaval County Middle School on the Plessey Road. Google it!
However, even if this trilogy may be based on some solid facts (as impossible as such a thing might be to believe) I want you to know the characters and the school it features are entirely fictitious (though the school’s grounds its buildings and their rooms are accurately based on the now demolished Delaval County Middle School). Of course, those of you with high intelligence may very well conclude that this does not mean the characters do not exist— just that they do not exist in our world. There is much more of this sort of quantum craziness in the trilogy.
So this trilogy features, among other strange things, some pupils and other characters from the town of Blyth. As some of you may know, Blyth is a Northumbrian town 11½ miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Now the Geordie dialect and accent can sometimes seem unfathomable to the likes of me, so just in case you’re new to it, I’ve put some “normal” English translations of common Geordie words and phrases at the beginning of each book. You can also look up famous Geordie celebrities on YouTube. The best example might be the famous Geordie comedian Ross Noble. Why? Because it was his mother who used to teach in my tutor room before I joined the school. A copper nameplate on the classroom door read “Mrs Noble”. You won’t find that on Google, though it does mention on Wikipedia that both Ross Noble’s parents were teachers. Similarly, Sarah Millican is a famous Geordie female comedian, and if you imagine her and Ross Noble as children, then you will have a rough idea of the inimitable school pupil characters in the trilogy.
Let me just say, though every Geordie pupil appears to be a natural stand-up comedian, I can’t for the life of me explain the way they think. I’d have to have a Nobel Prize in psychology to even attempt to do such a silly thing. I do have a school 10-yard swimming certificate, but this doesn’t seem to help either— although I wouldn’t be surprised to find that a Geordie pupil might easily prove it should. That’s the magical inimitable Geordies for you. You get the picture?
Finally, I hope readers of all ages, adults and children, get to enjoy this trilogy. I wrote it to be understood at many different levels, such as scientifically, philosophically, politically and sociologically. However, it should fundamentally stand out as a vast cinematic awesome rollicking science fiction space opera odyssey. At its heart a splendiferous tale of derring-do and the perennial fight of good versus evil. Hopefully this trilogy will lift up even further the spirits of all Geordies and really put Blyth deservedly on the International literary map. So dear reader, let me take your mind by the hand and lead it through a Universe of diverse extraordinary imagination . . .
