Rob Nesbitt, an ex-firefighter from South Wales in the UK, ventured into writing fiction in early 2020, writing a 5 book scifi novella series for the YA market.
A successful cartoonist, Rob has extended his creative output from pen, ink and watercolours to the written word and has published his adult themed Morton Scientific Investigation Series which kicked off with 'Beneath' his first full length book published on Amazon in late July 2023.
The series is Earth bound and based in Morton-in-Marsh, a small Cotswold town in the heart of England, which Rob chose as the focus for the series, after spending six months in the town back in 1991, when he attended several back to back fire officers training courses at the British Fire Service College.
'Arrival', the next book in the series was published in November 2023. The Moreton Scientific Investigation team are sent to an alien emergency landing site in a remote Welsh reservoir. This rapidly developes into a series of murders, alien possessions and a 'whodunnit' chase through England and Wales to prevent an all out invasion of the planet.
'Transformation' the third book in the series and was published in August 2024. After several alien rock samples are stolen from the new 'Museum of Alien Life' in London and the murdered thief's body is found in Limehouse Basin, the team are asked to investigate strange and worrying deformities in fish stock at the nearby Regents Canal. Ben Sharman and his vivacious assistant Claire find themselves flown to Nevada by NASA and Homeland Security to investigate similar weird deformities of wildlife and humans, transforming them into something unworldly.
'Excavation' the fourth book in the series was published on April 2025. Ben Sharman and his team make a groundbreaking discovery beneath Stonehenge. Using a cutting-edge drone, they uncover a massive boulder deep beneath the ancient monument. But what's inside the boulder leaves them stunned—a skeleton with bizarre, alien-like characteristics. Before they can even begin to understand the significance of the find, an unexplained death rocks the team. Meanwhile, they detect a mysterious transmission, a signal coming from a piece of technology that has been buried for centuries, hinting at an ancient power beyond human comprehension. The more they investigate, the more they realize this alien discovery is linked to other historic sites across the globe. What they discover could not only rewrite our understanding of history but also reshape the future of humanity as we know it.
'Legend' is the fifth book in the series and is currently available to pre-order (published in November 2025). Billionaire Jenson Groves has spent a lifetime haunted by a single, impossible moment—a fleeting glimpse of something beneath the surface of Loch Ness. Now, fifty years later, he is determined to uncover the truth before it’s too late.To Ben Sharman and the Moreton Scientific Investigation team, the Loch Ness Monster is nothing more than a carefully crafted tourist trap—until their expedition takes a sinister turn. As they push deeper into the murky waters, they uncover evidence of something far more dangerous than folklore, something powerful enough to rewrite history.
'Thaw' is the sixth book in the series and is currently available to pre-order (published in June 2026).When a cargo ship is battered by a ferocious Irish Sea storm, two containers vanish into the depths. Days later, something extraordinary washes ashore on a North Cornwall beach—a block of ice containing a frozen body.
The Home Office summons Dr. Ben Sharman and the elite Moreton Scientific Investigation team to uncover the truth. But what they find defies science. The ice resists analysis. The being within it bears unmistakably features that are not human. And the unthinkable happens—it awakens, escapes, and disappears into the British countryside.
Now, the most dangerous hunt begins.
An assassin with a vendetta is convinced the creature must die to protect humanity from alien takeover.
A ruthless operative sees it as the ultimate weapon—an extra terrestrial infiltrator capable of conquering Earth by stealth.
And Sharman’s team races to uncover the truth: What is this being? Why was it entombed in the Irish Sea? And does it bring salvation… or extinction?
Rob Lives in the small village of Nelson, just North of Cardiff Wales in the UK, married to wife Joanna, and has two children Holly and Matthew with a first grandchild Sophia born March 2024.
