    About this series

    The idea for Chase the Devil came about by my desire to write a story about the peninsular war between Britain and France and features the battle at Salamanca in Spain in 1812. Although factually correct in most part, I wanted to introduce some fictional characters engaged in a battle that may have taken place in the back-ground and therefore introduced Captain Robert Lockhart of the 5th of Foot the Northumberland Regiment, and the French officer, Major Philippi Duval, known to his men as (The devil.)
    French General Marshal Augusta Marmont is afraid Lord Wellington is about to break out of Salamanca into Spain and sets a trap for him by reducing the strength of his right flank therefore inviting Wellington to attack at that point.
    Wellington suspects a trap has been laid for him behind Marmont’s lines and dispatches Robert and a small band of men to investigate. Robert discovers the trap set by Major Philippi Duval but is too late to inform Wellington and decided to take action. Meanwhile the battle at Salamanca has started and Wellington has started his push into Spain, now it is up to Robert and his men to save the day.
    Major Duval, (the devil) escapes capture but in doing so exposes the horrific inhuman crimes of torcher and death he has inflicted upon his British and civilians prisoners. Horrified by what he has seen and heard Robert sets out across Spain in pursuit of Duval, a journey that will eventually take him back to Canada.
    Yours faithfully
    John Madderson.

    John Madderson

    Hi.My name is John Madderson and I love writing horror.I was born in the small industrial seaside town of Blyth Northumberland. In 1964 I joined the Army and enlisted into the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers where in 1966 I met my wife Sylvia while on leave from Germany en-route to Aden and active service. On returning to England Sylvia and I were married and in 1968 we were blessed with our son Lee Raymond. In 1977 I left the army and went into self-employment for a great number of years. I have had a full life but now nearing my retirement I have taken up writing and dedicate my time into bringing back the original saga of Dracula and the blood craved beast he was created to be (with a slight twist.)My books, under the sub-title “The Vampire Hunter,” are a series of four books each depicting a separate time in the past, present and future. The two main characters the villain Alucard, and the hero Joseph Beck, are locked in an eternal battle from which there can be but one survivor.EnjoyJohn Madderson.
