• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Returning home after six years of fighting a senseless war, that had so far killed six million people, on a planet light years from home. Ivan, one of only a few who holds the Terran Cross for bravery, is recovering from his wounds, looking forward to seeing his parents and sister again. Little does he know; his father is dead. Murdered in the street, his mother grief stricken, starved to death, leaving only his sister. She lived in fear and poverty. He had been warned what to expect, but never believed the freighter captain who gave the warning. Already his life had been threatened, and it was clear to Ivan, to stay on Mars meant death, his own and his sisters. He needs help, and looks towards the asteroids. The people he meets, many former Space Corps personnel, are like him, all reported dead, their families decimated and left to live in poverty. They are only a small group of people, less than a hundred and fifty, poorly armed and under equipped. All looked to him to lead a fight back against the Earl Ferdinand Ahlstrom of Elysium Mons, the most powerful ruler on Mars. But Ivan wanted more than a fight back, he wanted retribution and an end to the senseless slaughter on Mentra. Not a lot to ask for someone without money, men or equipment. Somehow, he will do it, or die trying, because if he can't, he has nothing left to live for.

Autorenporträt

Writing never came easy to me, even at school but somewhere inside me I always thought I had a story to tell. Before word processors and spell checks the bringing up of a family and out working to support them took precedence over such things as writing and as such setting my story down on paper was the least of my priorities.
Things changed in 2007 when I suffered a heart attack which effectively ended my working life. My first computer back in 1988 was an old Amstrad word processor that allowed me to take work home from the office without the need of a ream of paper and white correction fluid. All I needed was a small three inch disc that fitted quite nicely into my pocket. It made letter writing so much easier and renewed my interest in writing although at that time I didn't pursue it.
I have had a large and varied working life to give me inspiration. I was a seaman for three years in my teenage years; I worked as a bus conductor on leaving the sea to raise a family before training as a plasterer and working in the building industry. A telecommunications factory offered better pay and conditions so I moved into the production of telephone exchanges for six years until securing a job in BT for seventeen years until made redundant in 1992. Ultimately I worked as a private hire taxi driver until illness forced me to stop.
I am twice married with 3 children of my own (all grown up and flown the coup now) and 3 step children (also flown away). My present wife Gillian is a rock to me and who without her support and encouragement these books may never have been finished for publication. So if you don't like them blame her not me.
The heart attack changed my life. I had to find something to occupy my mind and soon decided the best thing I could do was write. I readily admit I am not and probably never will be the most gifted writer in the world but as an exercise in keeping the old grey matter in working order it cannot be surpassed.
