Produktbeschreibung

In the waning days of World War II, a man lies injured in a London hospital, shrouded in mystery and confusion. He is an American serviceman, stripped of his identity and memories, save for the name John, and plagued by vivid visions of battles that span the annals of history. These relentless images invade his mind, showcasing not only the conflicts of the past but also foreboding glimpses of wars yet to unfold. As despair tightens its grip on his sanity, an enigmatic psychiatrist introduces a tantalizing theory: John is not merely a soldier but an eternal soldier, chosen by ancient gods of war who have waged their own battles through mortal proxies. With his memory lost to the ravages of injury, John is now liberated from their control, tasked with the monumental challenge of locating their hidden Valhalla to confront these timeless deities once and for all. Yet, as John's reality begins to unravel, the distinction between truth and illusion blurs, revealing fragments of his past that threaten to reshape his understanding of himself and his current plight. This turmoil raises profound questions: Is John truly an ageless warrior, caught in a cycle of divine conflict, or is he simply a traumatized soldier, grappling with the horrors of war and fabricating grand narratives to endure his suffering? The only glimmer of hope in his tumultuous existence comes from Emma Somersby, a compassionate nurse who feels an inexplicable bond with him, one that transcends the ordinary. Driven by an unshakeable instinct, she sets out to discover the truth behind John's enigmatic story. The revelations that follow will irrevocably alter the course of her life, intertwining their fates as lovers in ways neither could have anticipated.

Autorenporträt

My career commenced at St. Martins Youth Theatre, in Melbourne, Australia, where I was born and raised. From there I went into TV and film working on many mini-series and feature films in the field of production, which in turn led into the area of screenplay writing. I have had a few scripts optioned as well as collaborating on more with other writers, directors and producers. I enjoy film, the theatre, music and books, and have continued to develop and hone my writing abilities over the years. I have a genuine passion for this art form and love the creativity of bringing words and images to life. In 2006 I had my first fiction novel "A God Named Joe" published, while my second book "The Gods Of War" came out in 2009. I have never locked myself into writing one specific genre as I am just into telling good stories, whether they be science-fiction, drama, romance, adult or children's. In the final analysis when all is said and done, the main point is that it is a good story regardless of what it is about.
