Produktbeschreibung
The Keepers, the first installment of an ambitious sci-fi trilogy, plays out global warfare in the not-too-distant future. This initial volume in Friars complex and thus far engaging trilogy is epic not only in its breadth, but in the scope of its inventiveness. The author tackles a mix of current environmental, social, and economic trends, playing out how they might converge in the future. Friars vision, however, isnt for the faint of heart. Its 2039, and the wildly ambitious German ruler Geiseric and his henchmen have, in Hitlerian fashion, taken over central Europe and threaten world domination. Friar uses the first two World Wars as the template for his fictional third, and in spite of its eerie familiarity, the plot remains rich with suspense. The Keepers examines the efforts of a new group of Allied powers that attempt to drive Geiseric back and stymie his ruthless imperialism.
Autorenporträt
Richard Friar was born a writer and storyteller. While growing up, he created and wrote stories, scripts and eventually the outline for his trilogy The Keepers. After graduating from Grossmont, he was accepted to San Francisco Academy of Art University and San Francisco State University School of Journalism but decided that he had to pursue his passion. Like his idol, Frank Herbert, the creator of Dune, he left school and began the adventure of writing The Keepers Trilogy.
