Rude Awakening (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

He thought he knew exactly what was happening, he was dying in hospital, in fact he should already be dead. But now he's woken up in a very strange place. Is there life after death - and if so is this it?
Or is this just the random sparking of failing brain cells before the last goodbye? Is this what death itself feels like?
Out of place and out of time - even realising that he might still be alive doesn't do him any good. He is at the wrong end of an impossible journey, stranded in a society untouched by civilisation. So much is different, so many things aren't there. But human emotions never change - and that's the problem.
They told you at school that the Vikings were the first Europeans to reach North America, but they were wrong, two and a half thousand years wrong - that's quite some mistake. Why don't you let Michael tell you the whole dirty story?
- Tangled and dangerous relationships in a sweeping saga of conflict, betrayal and discovery. As seen through the eyes of an ironic and thoroughly devious observer.

Autorenporträt

Ian was for many years a ship's chandler, part of the fourth generation in his family business, supplying merchant vessels around the United Kingdom and north west Europe. Deciding that too much of his time was spent in travelling, and looking for a job which allowed more time for a home life, he set up a local business of his own; a registered firearms dealership.
However, although still fun, the gun shop has turned into a much busier operation than originally envisaged, and is now run by son Mike, with Ian relegated to the role of general dogsbody. He is also a commercially qualified pilot on medium sized twin engined aircraft.
Ian and his wife Margaret, another pilot, live in Cheshire, they have three grown up children and, so far, two grandchildren. For many years writing has been his hobby, resulting in about one book a year, although never with any thought of being published. It was only after taking part in a British Arts Council literary criticism website that his books found their way into print.
