E.W. Doc Parris has a new sci-fi-horror book coming out, The WalrusTech Universe book two, and we have the cover reveal: The Aurora’s Pale Light.
Time is a motherf@#er.
The rules that govern time machines are strict and the penalties for violations are severe…and unpredictable. For example:
History will record that the end of human civilization will occur in a little over six years. History will record that a demonic virus will spread across the globe and wipe out over six billion lives. And history will record that John Arthur Banks, decorated war hero, died just over two weeks ago in a California wildfire.
Forensics confirmed it.
The DNA scraped from the burnt corpse matched his.
The Governor of California and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff attended his funeral.
It made all the news streams.
And yet…
John Banks is alive, thanks to a little help from an old army buddy in the future—with a time machine. John’s cheated history, cheated time, and cheated death. That’s the upside. The downside? He can’t return to his former life, he must hide his existence and his activities from the future, and it falls to him to prepare the world for the coming demon apocalypse. He can’t change time. The past his future friend observed, the devastation he caused with his time machine, the billions of lives lost—John can’t prevent any of it.
Success is not an option.
But he can prepare for the aftermath. John has six years to prepare for doomsday and he’s determined to cheat death one more time-this time on a global scale. Or failing that, he’ll have to lead the survivors out of Hell. There’s only one problem with that option.
The Highway out of Hell is not on GPS.
Warnings: Zombies, Torture, Wildfire, Racial Epithets, Gun Violence, Plane Crash
About the Series:
The pathway to the future is not a straight line.
Humanity will make it to the stars, they’ll forge a galaxy-spanning civilization. But it will be a bumpy road getting from here to there. There will be downfalls and there will be breakthroughs. Wars will be fought and alliances negotiated. It won’t always be pretty and it won’t always be the heroic types that move the species forward.
But the future is bright.
And that comes down to the genius of one lovable, Buddha-like hardware developer with the unlikely name of Walrus. He sees order in the chaos and beauty in the world underneath our world. Because of his unique perspective, his discoveries put us on that path.
The WalrusTech Universe is the long epic of how one special mind can change the universe.
