About this ebook

David, a man taken. A man beaten, tortured and horrifically changed. An empty man, a soulless man – a bringer of death. David, a man returned.

David loves his country walks – they so calm his mind and take away all his troubles.
But not today. Today, David is jolted out of his calming reverie into a state of pure terror as an enormous and horrifying creature bursts from the trees and
charges directly toward him. Beaten unconscious, David awakens to find himself somewhere else, somewhere far, far away… somewhere terrifyingly different.
Years later, David is returned – but will anyone believe what he has to tell? Dare he tell anyone?
A Man Returned tells the story of David, a man horribly changed in mind, body and soul, his efforts to reconcile with the family he thought lost to him forever,
and his struggle to come to terms with who and what he now is… and the destiny that awaits him.

Author

Steven Williams

Steve Williams was born in the small town of Aberdare in the South Wales valleys quite some time ago. Encouraged by his mother, herself a prolific reader, he began reading at a young age, and long before his teens was a lover of all things science fiction. At some point in his early teens he was introduced to Tolkien, and thereafter his head would be found more often than not in a fantasy novel. Steve attended Aberdare Boys Grammar school ( a big clue as to age) where he excelled, or at least did well, in maths and the sciences. In English language and literature he achieved a grade six at 'O' Level (another clue as to age) which anyone of a similar age will know is one level above a fail. He now fervently hopes that his appalling childhood grades are not readily apparent in his current work. Steve has been a paperboy, a labourer in both a Brickworks and a Dairy, a Coal Mine Surveyor, all before he moved into his penultimate career in Information Technology, where his final role was that of the Technical Manager in a Data Warehouse. What on earth is a Technical Manager you may ask. Steve himself, two years retired from the role, has still not a clue – somewhere between general dog's body and Jack of all trades was the nearest he got to an accurate description. Up until his first novel, A Man Returned, Steve has written nothing but technical documents and emails, thousands upon thousands of emails – but that is now changing big time. Steve lives in Staffordshire with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Pauline. They have two grown up sons and two wonderful grandchildren, Luke and Ella. Besides writing, Steve's hobbies are reading, badminton, an occasional walk around a gym, spending time with the grandchildren, and last but not least, making excuses for not going out shopping with the wife – writing comes in really handy there. Steve is currently furiously at work on his second book in the Dark Light series – watch this space!
