Jesse Billiau has fled into the dark of the forests of Vietnam, with his enemy by his side. Not only is hunted by different factions with sinister purpose, but even the beasts of the wood turn their hungry eyes on him. Another has also turned his deathly gaze upon the Australian. Who is the mysterious Baron Samedi, and why does he continue to haunt Jesse after each full moon massacre? THE OLD WORLD SAGA continues directly on from BOOK ONE: IN THE SHADOW OF MONSTROUS THINGS with this novella! From Australian Author Joel Preston comes a late addition to the early story of THE OLD WORLD SAGA, bridging the gap in Jesse's journey between BOOK ONE and BOOK THREE. This is a dark story of self-doubt and the struggle to survive in isolation as Jesse tries to remove himself from the civilised world. He can't let them beast within him harm the innocent, though can do little to stop it... - THE BLURB - Surviving the deadly bite of a werewolf and fearing a life in chains, Jesse Billiau is on the run. With an unlikely ally at his side, Jesse flees into the wilds of Vietnam with the Australian Government hot on his heels. His escape goes awry when he is captured by drug-runners and moved to a secretive compound deep in the forest. He has one advantage his foes don't know. When the full moon shines the beast within is released, and Jesse becomes a herald of death and destruction. But when he sees what he's done, Jesse questions whether he can live with the consequences of his actions. In his moment of utmost despair, the God of Death, Baron Samedi, reveals to Jesse that his suffering is needed for greater events to come. Can Jesse survive the predators of the jungle while he fights the monster inside? Can he embrace his new nature, or must he forever live in fear of the full moon? THIS NOVELLA is designed to be read after THE OLD WORLD SAGA BOOK TWO: RISE GOLDEN APOLLO and before THE WENDIGO INCIDENT: AN OLD WORLD SAGA NOVELLA.
Autorenporträt
Currently, Joel lives and works in tropical North Queensland, fresh from moving out of the Australian Outback.Prior to his adventure into the heart of Australia, Joel had an exciting and varied range of jobs, all of which provide an endless pool of information for his novels. After completing a degree in multimedia journalism in Townsville, North Queensland, he hung around university for another year to manage the on-campus night club. After that, life grew a bit less exciting as his hunt for a full time job led him into a couple of years of mundane work. Yet, it all turned around when he applied to be an English teacher in Japan.Moving to Japan showed him a whole new way to live. While it was only for a short period, the experience would have a profound impact. All of sudden, chasing opportunities wasn't such an easy idea to dismiss.When he returned from Japan, he applied for an exciting government job. He worked at Cairns airport while he underwent test after test until at last he was accepted. And after his training, where did he get sent? Back to the desert where he was born.Outside of work, Joel is a passionate amateur snowboarder, whose main barrier to improvement is what he calls 'the fear of death'.He also travels frequently, having a few big hikes under his belt. Namely that of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and reaching Everest Base Camp in Nepal. His favourite place in the world is Japan, where he tried to get to every year (when life allows it).Joel is also a big nerd, indulging in many things of that persuasion. He loves the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter (saying without shame that he has read each book over twenty times each).Joel hopes you enjoy his novels and promises there are bigger and better stories still to come.
