Produktbeschreibung
Ten years ago Zach McAlister compiled his notes covering his Grandpa Danny's memoirs into a series of books we called The McAlister Line. This stand-alone story results from material discovered a few years later. It records Zach's Great Uncle Callan and Great Aunt Ivy's adventures during the Spanish Civil War and WWII. Much of the information was gathered from military unit histories, personal diaries and some rare interviews by those who survived that terrible conflict, most of whom have now passed on. As with his previous investigations, Zach includes a brief prologue. Zach is still exploring his family history and hopefully he'll discover more hidden anecdotes filled with action and adventure.
Autorenporträt
Richard Marman was born in Swindon, UK. His father was a RAF pilot who had served with distinction during WWII. His family moved from base to base after the war, including four years in Germany. They immigrated to Fremantle in 1962. Richard attended six primary and three secondary schools, so he is familiar with the 'new kid on the block' status. After school, Richard joined the Royal Australian Air Force and trained as a pilot. He served for nine years, including a tour in Vietnam and a significant time flying in New Guinea. In 1975 Richard left the RAAF to fly with Ansett Airlines until the company closed in 2001 at which time he was a Boeing 767 captain. Afterwards he trained Singapore Airlines cadets on Lear Jets until 2007. Leaving aviation behind, Richard completed a Diploma of Visual Arts at Tewantin TAFE and a Bachelor of Arts at the University of the Sunshine Coast, majoring in creative writing and graphic design. Many of Richard's book ideas stemmed from University projects and places he's visited worldwide. Richard lives on Queensland's Sunshine Coast with his wife Judy. They have twin daughters living interstate. For more information visit: www.richardmarman.net and www.richardmarman.com
