Derek Beaugarde is the sci-fi pseudonym for author John McGee. Born in the railway village of Corkerhill, Glasgow in 1956, he studied at Allan Glen's School for boys from 1968. The actor/author Sir Dirk Bogarde also went to Allan Glen's in the 1930s and the pseudonym is a homage to this great British icon. 2084 The End of Days is loosely based on biographical and family history anecdotes, then fictionalised by setting it within an Armageddon-genre sci-fi thriller. Seven individuals struggling with their daily lives are thrown together to face their ultimate battle - the survival of mankind. Derek is currently working on his adventurous space opera novella sequel to 2084. The working title is 2112 Revelation. It is currently just over 38k+ words in a final draft form. I do not wish to add any spoilers here, so if you have any questions on 2112 please send me a message.

Summary: In 2048 BCE, the ancient Egyptian ruler Mentuhotep II of the Upper Kingdom of Mizraim campaigns to overtake the Lower Kingdom and become Supreme Pharaoh of all Egypt. At the same time, the last few Bor-ak survivors of the destroyed Red Planet, which the Egyptians called Horus, were coming for one last fly-by of the Blue Planet, before heading out of the solar system, searching for new worlds to inhabit. Mentuhotep saw the arrival of the Eye of Horus as a sign that the gods favoured his campaign and implored the Bor-ak to destroy his enemies. Meanwhile, his beautiful daughter Princess Iset has fallen for humble soldier Achillas and Mentuhotep plans to thwart the undesirable union. Would the Bor-ak side with Mentuhotep in his military campaign and efforts to dissuade Princess Iset?
