• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What makes us do what we do? Have we any real freedom in our decisions and behaviour?

These questions and more face Captain 'Stank' Dobrovsk and Ernst Bohdrum as they try to bring peace to a land caught in a decades-long conflict between a cruel dictatorship and desperate rebel forces - and further twisted by the tales and technology of the Ancients.

Stank must face up to the harrowing past that shaped his single-minded thirst for knowledge. Bohdrum once again finds himself questioning the motives of his companion, not to mention his own behaviour and reliance on stories to make sense of the world.

Their mission is only made more difficult when rumours of a mythical dragon become a deadly possibility...

Revolution of the Mind is a retrofuturistic mystery continuing the themes of Struggle to Make Sense of it All: the tools we rely on to uncover the truth, and the illusions we conjure to spare ourselves from it.

Book #2 in The Misadventures of Stank and Bohdrum series. Approx. 90,000 words. Suitable for ages 13+.

Autorenporträt

Gareth M Long has been writing stories since he was a small child. Raised in a little village near Cambridge, England, he spent much of his youth walking and cycling around the beautiful (if flat) countryside, and grew to love the sense of being lost in nature. Sadly, this love was somewhat frustrated by his GCSE science courses, which seemed to focus more on abstracted learning than on fundamental theories, application of ideas or rigorous explanations.

Having graduated from the University of Manchester with a BA (Hons) Drama, he returned to Cambridge where he has lived ever since (albeit with a few months in London and a couple of years in Colchester), trying to eke out a living whilst practising and honing his writing. After reading Dawkins' magnificently written The Selfish Gene, he also rediscovered his love of science and became what some people might call an 'armchair' scientist (though he can't remember ever owning an armchair).

While studying for his MA Creative Writing, he hit upon the idea of Stank and Bohdrum as a way of exploring scientific thought through his own - largely self-educated - grasp of the field. It also seemed a lot more fun than the rather over-earnest eco-drama he'd spent years trying to complete.
