The Ordos Terror

About this ebook
It is 212 BC and the Emperor Qin has unified China and had the Long Wall built to deter the Xiongnu northern raiders. Now raids have begun again with greater losses than before, including children. Who is responsible? And how do they carry them out whilst leaving no trace? An officer is chosen from the Armys ranks; his task is to discover the truth and destroy the enemy and the methods used. Failure will certainly mean death, but then so could success.
Howard Marten
Howard Marten was born in London during the Blitz; his secondary education led to an engineering apprenticeship to become a metal turner. He later moved to Norfolk, where he spent forty years, working on vehicles of all types, water engineering, a drawing office, and then training the long-term unemployed. He is a father of one and a grandfather of three; retirement looked bleak unless a new income could be secured. As an ex-editor of a newsletter for a London-based Air Training Corps Squadron, he spends more retirement time in writing. Using the opportunity to take history and ask ‘What if?’ life retains its interest for him.
