The Devohrah Initiative (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As a man used to combat, Palestinian solider Salman isn't used to guarding a beach. He feels his assignment is beneath him. In fact, it's really beginning to bug him.

The Devohrah Initiative is a short story of about 3,500 words in length, and can easily be read in one sitting. It mixes elements of horror and satire, and provides a chilling insight into how the war on terrorism might be fought. This story is intended for older readers.

Craig Hansen is the author of another horror-satire short, Under Contract, as well as a pair of young adult books, Shada, a paranormal thriller; and Most Likely, a coming-of-age story with spiritual themes, and most recently, the paranormal suspense-thriller short, Nice Girl Like You.

Excerpt:

"Let me get you a refreshing beverage, brother. It is a quiet morning, and there is a cold juice stand just south of here. I'll only be gone ten minutes, and it will do us both good."

"Yes, that sounds good, brother."

Latif rose and exited through the door to the waiting ladder. Bringing two fruit juices back while climbing the rickety ladder would be tricky business for his friend, Salman thought, but since he volunteered to do it, he must have managed the trick before.

Salman's eyes narrowed as he scanned down the recreational beach to the south, then up the rockier shores of the tent city to the north. The enemies of Palestine, most especially the Israelis, were crafty, he thought, but not so skilled that they could slip by his experienced gaze.

Unnoticed by Salman, a plain, yellow-and-black honey bee buzzed up the side of the watchtower until it reached the guard station, then landed on the white-painted wooden railing, its black, multifaceted eyes taking in all of its surroundings.

Autorenporträt

Craig Hansen wrote his first SF published short story, "The S.S. Nova," when he was fourteen. It was published in the Minnesota Writers in the Schools COMPAS program's 1981 anthology of student writing, When It Grows Up, You Say Goodbye To It. That was when he decided to dedicate himself to writing.

Hansen earned two degrees at Minnesota State University at Mankato under the mentorship of young adult novelist Terry Davis. In the years that followed, Hansen worked a variety of jobs, including five years in journalism in northwestern Wisconsin, where he earned several state awards for his writing and editing.

His work has appeared in the Meadowbrook Press anthology, Girls to the Rescue, Book 1, as well as the true crime journal, Ripper Notes, in volume 28.

His first novel, Most Likely, was released in May 2011. Shada, the first installment of the Ember Cole series of young adult paranormal suspense books, was published in September 2011. Under Contract followed in the spring of 2012. The Devohrah Initiative appeared in August 2013. Nice Girl Like You is his most-recent work.

Hansen remains hard at work on two novel-length books. Ember continues the story of Ember Cole that began in Shada, and will be the second novel in that series. EyeCU (working title) will become his first novel-length horror tale for older readers.

Hansen lives in Oregon with his wife, a dog, two cats, and his 91-year-old father, a World War II veteran.

Craig's interests include the music of Johnny Cash, reading the novels of other independent authors, blogging, and the study of Messianic theology.
