Synopsis

Sci-fi mystery action

Kandahar, Afghanistan.

So, you think you know how things work do you. We all do I guess...

Kenneth Robinson is a soldier who, after leaving the Army, finds work in the Middle East and Central Asia.
With the help of his friend and partner, Mike, he has set-up his own company located in Kandahar.

They are doing quite nicely and things look set to become even rosier in the very near future.
It's looking pretty damn good for them, they've worked hard, taken risks, and now it looks like payback time.
Yeah, it was all going just fine until the Storm arrived.

The howling beast transforms not only Ken's day but his entire perception of how the world works.
He is thrust into a reality that is beyond the edge of reason and is shown the truth about what really lies behind the scenes of the world we live in.

Whilst looking for Mike who, along with everybody else, has disappeared, Ken finds himself taken to a place that would fracture most people's minds. He plagued by horrific dreams and is tipped toward insanity.

Fortunately, Ken is made of stronger stuff. His stoicism, dry-humour, and experience enable him to cope with the madness of the things he is shown by George. The old man takes Ken and shows him a view of the universe he never dreamt of...

Events almost beyond comprehension have happened and are still happening, events that require their immediate intervention.
Ken is told that the future for them, and all that remains of mankind, is in his hands.

All he needs is Mike, some big guns and the `Spears'...

Looks pretty easy and would be; if it wasn't for a man named Red.

The red giant is going to have his say all right, he's on a separate agenda and doesn't care who gets in the way.

Killing is a second-nature for this guy. Fortunately Ken has done his own share of killing, and if it's a fight you want, well...

Ken has the skills and Mike has the `magic', together they ride into battle to stop the demon and his plans. Take a ride with them, jump on-board and let's find out; find out how much you actually know about things shall we?

Let's see just how awake you really are?

About this title

Review

Loved it!

Enjoyed it! I heard about this book from a friend who had read some of it on an author's website. I purchased it from Amazon even though there wasn't a cover or a comment? Its a tale that starts in one place and you think, ah well read this type of stuff this before, then it twists and takes you somewhere else.Its a grand tale and I was thinking about it for ages afterwards. It made me wonder. I don't even think that it's sci-fi as it could be true, well i felt like that!
As a first time published book it's great and I hope that we can see some more of his work.
A wonderful thought provoking read. 5 stars all round.
