Final Take
()
About this ebook
Both sides are committed, both sides are determined. Yet only one side can be fated to win.
When one side has their every last resource available tied to the struggle, could a clear win even be seen as a long term victory? So much might be destroyed, so many lives lost. Yet, even against all odds it's not like human nature for anyone to admit defeat.
Facing heavy losses, both forces continue to battle on.
The saga began with Double Take. A simple life, set in a futuristic world outside of old earth's influence. Even in space, human nature can and sometimes does intrude.
Then Second Take boldly took the adventure even further. Even in the worst of times bravery can exist and shine through. That doesn't mean enemies don't exist, or that they can be ignored.
Following up with Gamble Taken began the struggle with those enemies. Some dangers have to be faced head on, the war had begun. Engagements were fought with mounting tolls, each closer to home.
Finally, the conclusion of that war, Final Take. When evil looks you in the face, it never pays to cower.

Roger Russell
Born in 1947 in Eldoret, Kenya Roger attended school in Bournemouth, UK and St David's College in Johannesburg, SA. Roger Russell fell into a long drop toilet when he was three years old, out of a car when he was four. He went on to almost drown himself at six, cut through his left leg when he was seven and crush his right arm when he was nine. By the time he was eleven he had spent over a year in hospital and had been the recipient of many hundreds of stitches. He was banned from playing soccer or rugby and could not run to save his life. He started in the mines at nineteen and lost his finger in an accident before a month had passed. He joined the U/G Rescue team and was gassed, trapped and lost underground within the space of a single year. Roger married in 1968 and is the father of four children by his first wife, Sharon, to whom he was happily married for twenty five years before she died of cancer in 1993. He has since remarried and lives with Cynthia on a 30 foot motor cruiser in Hermitage Marina near St Ives in the UK. They have one child, a boy named Gordon after Roger's father. In 1993, after the death of his wife, Roger walked from Beit Bridge on the Northern border of South Africa to Cape Town, a distance of 2000km. He slept alongside the road and walked alone and un-armed through one of the worst political times the country had ever seen. He saw then and has continued to see immense power in common people. In 1999 he walked right around South Africa to support a much maligned South African Police Services. He was mugged by a squatter camp gang, attacked by a policeman in a remote station in the Transkei and swept away in a flash flood in the Orange Free State. He has seen police barracks that were worse than some prison cells, met and spoken with criminals, saints and politicians. The British media called him a South African hero and Steve Tshwete, the South African Minister of Safety and Security at the time said he was truly a South African patriot. Roger has also walked in America on two occasions, promoting South Africa and cancer awareness to the people of California, Nevada, New Mexico and other states. Roger has written several books all of which he plans to publish with Smashwords in time.
