About this ebook
The action packed sequel to "Of North Blood Drawn", more banter, more lasers and explosions, more intrigue, battles in the mind, space slugs and spurious philosophy...
Seatus and Es'stus have been at war for over three hundred years. Inevitably, the Seatons - the Defenders - are losing. The High Marshal, commander of Seaton Defence has a solution. It's a desperate one, that can only end in the annihilation of the Es'stons, or the Seatons, or both.
Magen has brought his squad and swordsmen through their first battle. Left behind by the main troop movements, this lone division makes an attractive target for Es’ston Raiders. They must risk crossing the oceans of Seatus if they are to be any aid in the defence of the capital city, Solara. They head into the Heart of the South.
There is an Es’ston spy in their ranks, affectionately named ‘Atilbe’. A daring plot to shut down Solara’s defences? Darker forces than this are at play – and they work to no man's agenda. The Dragon stone stirs and the key calls. Magen and his squad find themselves in a tough spot.
Marshal Damoclus' defiance of the High Marshal is the reason the division is in this mess. Damoclus wants to end the war too, but he has a different stategy...
C. J. Watterson
Ciarán works as a Computer Engineer writing yards of code for an international chip manufacturer. After nearly ten years of working with and studying computers, his conclusion on the A.I. threat is that come the rise of the machines - they will probably destroy themselves through bugs 'cleverly' left by their designers. Our difficulty will be to survive without computers. He began writing (human speak rather than machine code) in earnest when he realised that dull essay titles such as "What I did Last Summer" could be twisted to become any story. Stories played with Lego were used to knock out troublesome homework - the hard stuff that didn't involve calculus. Surprised by strong results, one idle summer, he began writing a prologue. That expanded into book, and the book became the first part of a series. So ironically, "What I did Last Summer" was already prepared in advance. Widely read and with an interest in all things technical, scientific and obscure, he draws from varied source material for his books. Influential authors are David Eddings, Terry Pratchett, Alexander Dumas, Clive Cussler, C. S. Lewis and how could we leave out, William Shakespeare (specifically Macbeth). Of course - he doesn't write literature - he writes light-hearted, entertaining Sci-Fi/Fantasy tempered with occasional serious notes.
