A SCENARIO THAT SEEMS TOO REAL.
Well, I did it. It’s out. I’ve become, “one of them”. You know, those that write books to show how smart they are or worse, to make money. The good news is, I don’t fit that mold, at least not in my eyes. Funny, that’s probably what they all say. Anyway, I’ve had an opinion on just how a true, global war might take place and I’ve had this opinion for over ten years now. My desire to put this opinion to paper started about Five years ago, right after my retirement. I will also be the fist one to admit, having an “idea” for a book is one thing, but putting that idea on paper and then pushing out to the world, well, that’s a whole different story. None the less, I did it.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “ How are you different”? Here comes my best answer, my only answer. I don’t care about making money or fame, no, really! Not only do I not give a hoot about money or fame, I pray that I will never compared to Nostradamus. Look, my goal is simple. I wished to tell a story, a story about how the human race slides backwards, backwards over a thousand years. My goal is to make people understand that at one point in time, tribes in what is now England, would look on the ruins of the Roman Empire in England, 800 years old, and wonder, “who where these people”? How fragile has the world become? How intertwined is day to day life? How easy is it to start a process that makes the whole thing come tumbling down? That was my goal, to show just how that could happen.
I’ve said this before and I will say it again. This was not a Novel based on heroes, love stories and dramatic conflict depictions. I was not out to use the nomenclature of every advanced weapon in the world just to show the reader I could look things up on google. That’s a slap in the face to most writers on warfare, but one that aggravates me to no end. This book is a raw reflection; an attempt by one person to tell the story five years after the fact.
Do I care about making money? No. Do I need to cover cost? Silly question. Money and the lack of desire to make it is why I put this out on Kindle club members. Yes the paperback is not free, but the cost issue is once again there.
Read it. Argue with me if you like, but understand we are driving head on into an environment that will not leave us on a path to peace. Perhaps the world was truly simpler a thousand years ago?
