About this ebook

From Amazon best-selling and award-winning author David Edward comes the world of Purgatory Oaths.

A story that spans from the American Civil War to the roaring twenties, Edward offers a complex moral philosophy wrapped in a wildly imaginative adventurous reimagining of classic monster tropes, including ghosts, werewolves, and zombies. But these books are more than the sum of their parts; a cowboy western, early 20th-century detective story, and end-of-the-world Armageddon are just the packaging for the deep exploration of what it means to be human and how our interactions might just frame our eternal fates.

Inspired in equal parts by dime-store 50's pulp fiction all the way to Plato's Republic and beyond, Purgatory Oaths just might be the most attention-grabbing and thought-provoking philosophical paranormal thriller to hit bookshelves in quite some time!

David Edward

D. Edward served as a Special Agent in the US Army in the 1980s and 1990s and is a veteran of multiple overseas combat tours. He was the Special Agent in Charge of the 1990 Panama Canal counter-terrorism threat assessment report to the US Congress. Edward is a graduate of the United States Army Intelligence School where he studied advanced HUMINT (Human Intelligence) and battlefield counterintelligence; also completing training at the Jungle Operations Training Center in Panama, Central America. He holds advanced degrees in engineering including a Ph.D. from NCU, three related M.Sc. degrees (MBA, MSIT, MSIM), and has an undergraduate degree in business (BSBA). His books typically reach the Amazon Kindle top 10 upon release in their genre. 'End of Reason' was his first work to reach #1 on Amazon in its category, on June 22, 2021. 'Unreasonable' reached #1 as a pre-order and held the spot for over a month upon release. You can follow his publication schedule here: d-edward.com or email him at his first name, the at sign, the first three letters of the word Florida, a dot, and the word cloud. He did have a Twitter account but then he thought it was stupid so he canceled it.
