Produktbeschreibung
Silently and without warning, the first wave swept away civilisation. On a carefree Sunday morning in early June, most of the world's population suddenly died, falling instantly dead where they stood. There was no opportunity to express any loving sentiments and no famous last words to fill future history books, just silence. A second wave one week later reduced the number of survivors even further.Some of those who had outlived these cataclysmic events formed two communities: the larger one in Weyhill Castle and a smaller one, a short distance away, in Lower Nieder Castle, a former five-star hotel: Personal links between the two groups help to establish cooperation between them, allowing for the sharing of technical skills, knowledge and, inevitably, intimate personal relationships.Despite the fast-approaching seventh anniversary of the waves, members of the two communities are still discovering the grotesque depths to which some survivors have plummeted. To ensure their own long-term survival against these deviants and those who covet everything they possess, both castles initiate a program to strengthen their defences, but with the restricted availability of materials and transportation, this is no easy task.
Autorenporträt
Stephen was born and raised in the home counties of England. After many years in the flavour and fragrance industry, latterly as a buyer for a multinational German company, he emigrated to Austria and pursued a career in teaching. Writing came late in life. Inspiration for his stories is drawn from an interest in the supernatural and their settings from a love of the countryside. The landscape of the Austrian 'wine quarter' has found its way into The Last Chapter, Remains of the Past & Helping Hands and its town architecture in The Realm. The setting for An Angel's Wish, his first novel and the first of the Three Wishes stories, can be found in what he considers to be the most beautiful part of the English countryside, an area of the Chilterns overlooking the river Thames on the Berkshire / Oxfordshire border. These are stand-alone stories and may be enjoyed independently of one another.
