Apocalypse Awakening

Beschreibung

What happens when the one supposed to save the day is nowhere to be found? One moment, Michael's fighting for his life on the front lines, the next, he awakens in a devastated city with only his brother's corpse for company. Racked by confusion and guilt, it is up to him to track down his brother's killer through a world inhabited by roaming armies, tattered mercenaries and desert bandits bent on reigning over the havoc. Apocalypse Awakening is the first title of an epic series. It's a tale of ordinary people caught up in the whirlwind of epic clashes between armies and civilizations, political intrigue and devilish plotting. Hope and optimism run against the forces of pessimism and harsh reality as everyone strives to pull themselves out of the chaos birthed by the APOC. Through the eyes of war heroes and pub-dwelling mercenaries, jaded veterans and runaway prisoners, only the strong -or those wise enough to avoid them- will survive the battles and coups, the victories and the terrors, as the orchestrators behind the devastation strive to fulfil their plans and bring forth the final apocalypse.

Autor

Jake Houstoun was born in London and grew up in Bangor, Northern Ireland, before graduating in History and International Relations from Exeter University. You will hear a lot more about these two subjects if you are ever unfortunate enough to catch Jake in the pub. He has been noticeably absent from his home country for the last few years, travelling through India, Latin America and Australia, picking up "odd jobs," along the way in iron mines, naval shipyards and accounting departments. From a young age, Jake adored reading fantasy novels through the early morning and watching sci-fi movies with his grandad late into the night. He has been writing novels part-time for the last seven years, combining a gritty fantasy writing style with a grounded sci-fi universe, but has held off releasing the first book in his planned ?Apocalypse? series until now. Jake is currently working on his next title in the series while teaching English in Japan, with the goal of one day writing full time.
