Boxer Earns His Wings: Boxer, cartea 1

Autor Douglas van Dyke Jr Editat de Denise Guibord
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2019
"Everyone calls me 'Boxer,' as if I was the only one." Brian "Boxer" DuWold is feeling outdated in a booming industrial age of electricity, magnetism, and stiff competition between steam and fossil fuel engines. The tough conman makes a living off gamblers, using prize-fighting rings or shooting matches. Few realize his livelihood supports his blind sister; unfortunately, the suits of the United Republic Agency use this leverage to their advantage. The United Republic has seen a lot of technological advances since defeating the southern rebels in its Civil War years ago. Now, the territory of Texico has won its independence from Meztica, and is considering joining the UR. One hitch: the mad scientist who helped win the revolution for Texico is pursuing his own agenda, which includes a train full of chemical explosives steaming straight for the capital! The doctor is rumored to have zombie soldiers, steam war machines, and high-tech weapons at his disposal. Boxer barely has time to grab his brass knuckles and six-shooter before URA men send him on a mission that one team has already failed. He's loaded into the most advanced biplane of his time and tasked to stop the train. It's time to buckle in for a wild ride of an adventure. (The Boxer series features non-chronological adventures in an alternate Earth history. It's a Steampunk Wild-West flavor mixed with the old 1930s adventure serials that inspired Indiana Jones.)

Notă biografică

Douglas was born on Nov. 28, 1971. He got the chance to live in many different places while he was growing up, courtesy of the assignments the US Army offered to his father. Too quiet and too shy for too long, there were always dreams of other worlds and places...and the desire to write about them. He got into fantasy role-playing games in his mid-teens. To this day he has friends whom he meets in tabletop role-playing games as well as online adventures. Many of his characters evolved in games, and each developed their own personality. Inheritance of a Sword and a Path is the second book he wrote, though the first he published. He finished the rest of the Earthrin Stones series and has moved on to other novels set in Dhea Loral...some of which reference the events in this book! The Widow Brigade started its reception earning ten straight 5-star reviews, including a recent widow who said it helped with her healing process. He has been making appearances at local conventions and signing books for fans. Though Douglas expanded his entertaining to include game streams and recordings on YouTube and Twitch, his passion remains centered on his writing. Douglas lives with his wife and two boys in Minnesota. He works in healthcare, serving people's needs at both hospitals and clinics depending on his rotation. When most people see him, he is wearing scrubs.
