Book Description

I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland and I became a musician while still at School. Then I made my first musical instrument at the age of just 13 years, an Appalachian Dulcimer. I joined the Royal Air Force at the age of 18. I served for 9 years. I worked at many of our secret establishments. Even during my military career, I continued to play in bands, as well as to write music. When time would allow, I made guitars for myself, although most of these ended up in my friends hands rather than mine. With the bands that I played in, I have been fortunate enough to have recorded 32 albums. Most of these albums were with my Irish Rebel Band, aptly named ‘1916’. I later formed my own company making bespoke guitars (Gordon Guitars UK) The pressure of running so many ventures simultaneously eventually took its toll and a series of heart attacks followed. So I looked for a new and more sedate way to direct my creative juices and writing thrillers fitted that bill perfectly. This will be my fifth thriller and like the other books, this novel is a mixture of both fact and fiction. I prefer to call this genre ‘Faction’. So any similarity to people in real life, is purely coincidental. Names and places may have been changed to protect the innocent.

Book Description

He loved books. She loved nothing. They began to love each other. Naive to a fault, they were high school seniors who were trying to figure out what to do with life. Then it all ended and what was fantasy became real. Together, they drew on their knowledge from their video games, movies, TV shows, and books and prepared for survival. Warriors emerged from teenagers. Every step was planned out and together they shaped their violence into an unstoppable team, beginning to reclaim what was lost. They began a life together, not the one they wanted, but the one they were dealt, and they swore to stay ahead of the doom enfulging their world, but at what cost? More than anything she wants to find a place, a way, to live again. To live again. To find a life worth living. Captain K. Hutchison, Genuine Apocalypse Aficionado Many of us who spend time thinking about the real possibility of societal breakdown are always on the lookout for insightful answers to the big questions. What will happen? What skills can I draw on to get me through when others cannot? Eppeldauer's story has the answer! This insighful, inventive, and introspective first book of a trilogy on the struggle against the odds of survival is well within the realms of reality and imagination. Tense, riveting, and a new interesting take on post-apocalyptic dynamics.
