Midshipman GOD (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Geoffrey Oliver Deacon, known to friends and enemies alike as GOD, has just completed five years at the Isaac Newton Academy of Spatial Relativity otherwise referred to as INSAR. GOD, or Ollie as he prefers to be known, is a midshipman with a secret. If it becomes known, it will affect how his senior officers and the love of his life Joan, see him. They will all have to know one day, but first, he has to complete his apprenticeship as a midshipman, on board the largest passenger liner ever built, Cunard's King Charles the fourth.
He is pitted against the Second Officer, a cruel and heartless individual whose main objective is to give "Ollie," a life of hell. Donald Oscar Green, someone else whose parents lacked in intelligence when naming their son, forever know as DOG, looked on Ollie with a malevolence that was both frightening and threatening. To Ollie, it promised to be an interesting fifteen months spent out in the Solar System with Geriatric, filthy rich passengers for company, and a sociopath for a boss.
Ollie didn't really mind, The King Charles was a means to an end, and his time on board a learning curve. His future was assured, or so he thought, then he met Joan, and the future stood on its head. If she discovered the secret he was hiding from everyone on board, it could very well end his career and his blossoming love life. Being a Midshipman was not going to be easy, becoming an officer was going to be even harder. With a name like GOD it might just prove impossible. Maybe the Ganymede Nose Worm can help?

Autorenporträt

Writing never came easy to me, even at school but somewhere inside me I always thought I had a story to tell. Before word processors and spell checks the bringing up of a family and out working to support them took precedence over such things as writing and as such setting my story down on paper was the least of my priorities.
Things changed in 2007 when I suffered a heart attack which effectively ended my working life. My first computer back in 1988 was an old Amstrad word processor that allowed me to take work home from the office without the need of a ream of paper and white correction fluid. All I needed was a small three inch disc that fitted quite nicely into my pocket. It made letter writing so much easier and renewed my interest in writing although at that time I didn't pursue it.
I have had a large and varied working life to give me inspiration. I was a seaman for three years in my teenage years; I worked as a bus conductor on leaving the sea to raise a family before training as a plasterer and working in the building industry. A telecommunications factory offered better pay and conditions so I moved into the production of telephone exchanges for six years until securing a job in BT for seventeen years until made redundant in 1992. Ultimately I worked as a private hire taxi driver until illness forced me to stop.
I am twice married with 3 children of my own (all grown up and flown the coup now) and 3 step children (also flown away). My present wife Gillian is a rock to me and who without her support and encouragement these books may never have been finished for publication. So if you don't like them blame her not me.
The heart attack changed my life. I had to find something to occupy my mind and soon decided the best thing I could do was write. I readily admit I am not and probably never will be the most gifted writer in the world but as an exercise in keeping the old grey matter in working order it cannot be surpassed.
