The Crossover Wars

(Goodbye Angeline, Unabridged)

Beschreibung

A young man looking for his girlfriend-that's all Nigel Renoir thought he was. He had no idea, however, that he was a son of two worlds and a vital part of three. He didn't know how or why his journey would encompass so many different people, starting with a decorated old warrior who was trying to save a world already lost, desperately hoping to accomplish a mission that didn't seem to matter anymore. So many lives were about to be upended: from the citizens of the United Federation of American States to a gray world where all states and countries had become the same just to survive. The things Nigel did throughout the long years would affect them all if he just could find a way to walk out of the Sand Ridge Asylum of the Criminally Insane, located on an Earth that he'd never even been born on. All he'd tried to do was find his dear Angeline, but what he wound up doing started a conflict that would come to be known as the Crossover Wars. Maybe he should've listened to what his old Pop was always telling him: "Folks may not always look where they're goin', boy, but they always gonna go where they're lookin' . . ."

Autor

S. Warren Winslow grew up watching every Star Trek series ever produced and reading science fiction stories, losing himself all of their incarnations and permutations. When the original Star Wars movies rolled out, he was there to see every one of them, too. He could spend hours reading stories of King Arthur's Knights of The Round Table, Louis L'amour's tales of The Sacketts, W. E. B. Dubois' books, Tom Clancy's stories, Roger Zelazny's tales of Amber and other great books of action, adventure, science fiction and fantasy. He collected Marvel and DC Comics, Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction, Omni and Analog magazines, until his family ran out of spare footlockers to store these in. After graduating from high school, S. Warren Winslow went to Perkinston Community College on the Gulf Coast as a Mechanical Engineering student, later transferring to The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg to major in Architectural Engineering and Drinking. Eventually, the income he was generating for higher education by working three jobs fell behind in the race to keep up with tuition hikes, so he did the only sensible thing; used what he had to buy a motorcycle and spend the days riding, his evenings waiting tables and conjuring up short Science Fiction/Fantasy stories during his sober nights. For the time being, he'd continue writing and creating the type of tales that he thought might seem agreeable to the world he lived in, submitting these to his formerly favorite magazines. Those were the days of rejections. One day, after years of attending RLU (Real Life University) had finally made him a little wiser, S. Warren Winslow decided to write the type of sci-fi story he'd always wanted to compose. One of his incomplete stories, titled Goodbye Angeline he took apart and used its bones in creating The Crossover Wars (Goodbye Angeline Unabridged), completing that work in 2019. He is currently working on his next Nigel Renoir and Angeline Duplessis-Renoir story.
