Synopsis "Twilight's Last Gleaming: Updated Edition "

This is a chilling high-concept geopolitical thriller where a declining United States and a resurgent China come to the brink of all out nuclear war.The year is 2025. Oil is the black gold that controls the fortunes of all nations and the once-mighty United States is down to the dregs. A giant oil field is discovered off the Tanzanian coast and the newly elected US president finds his solution to America's ailing economy. While the United States blindly plots and plans a regime change in this hitherto insignificant African nation, Tanzania's allies--the Chinese--start their own secret machinations. The explosion that follows shatters a decades-old balance of global power and triggers a crisis on American soil that the United States may not survive.Political conspiracies, military maneuvers, and covert activities are woven together in this fast-paced, gripping novel that paints a stark warning of an uncomfortably likely future. Originally published in 2014 by Karnac Books (9781782200352)

Nacido en el austero pueblo naval de Bremerton, Washington, y criado en los suburbios del sur de Seattle, comencé a escribir casi en cuanto aprendí a sostener un lápiz. La máxima del editor de ciencia ficción George Scithers, que decía que todos los aspirantes a escritores tienen un millón de palabras de mala prosa y que tienen que escribirla, resume bastante bien las dos décadas transcurridas entre mi primer intento serio de escribir un libro y mi primer libro publicado, "Senderos de Sabiduría", publicado en 1996. Actualmente vivo en Cumberland, Maryland, con mi esposa Sara; soy presidente —Gran Archidruida es el título oficial— de la Antigua Orden de Druidas de América (AODA), una orden druida fundada en 1912; y escribo en media docena de campos de no ficción, casi todos centrados en el resurgimiento de ideas, perspectivas y tradiciones prácticas olvidadas del basurero de la historia.
