Shadows of the Past: A War of the Worlds Sequel
About this ebook
The Martians failed, but their technology remained. It is 1915, and fifteen years after the failed invasion, the "Great War" is being fought with more than just bullets and bayonets. Humanity has scavenged the alien wreckage, and the shadows of the past are returning to haunt the present 1.
The Story
In this gripping alternate history epic, two men stand against a new kind of terror:
Emil Zimmerman, a soldier forced into a moral crossroads, must lead a mutiny against General Wegener, a tyrant who is stockpiling Martian weaponry for his own dark ends 1.
James Brogan, a brilliant radio engineer at Edison Labs, uncovers a conspiracy of German spies and mysterious signals that suggest the Martian threat may not be as dead as the world believes 1.

About the author
Eric is the author of Shadows of the Past and Clouds on the Future, the first two books in a series about the aftermath of the Martian invasion in the H.G. Wells classic, The War of the Worlds. He's currently working on the next book, Murder in Soft Words, and a few fantasy stories that he won't talk about yet.
Eric was lucky enough to inherit his father's incurable curiosity about technology and tremendous love of science fiction. Both led to a career repairing radars in the U.S. Army, followed by another as a programmer on Wall Street. Now, he writes about technology during the day while writing sci-fi part-time.
