Clouds in the Future

The aliens are back. France is under siege. As the Martians prepare to attack Paris, roving bands of rogue soldiers pillage the country, taking whatever they please. The nightmare has returned.

Christian was a child when he lost his family in the first Martian attack. Now he wants nothing more than to avenge their deaths and punish the murderous aliens and traitors who work with them.

From his leadership position in the Marauders - a group of German soldiers sworn to protect Europe after the first invasion - and his lethal aim with a rifle, Christian plays a vital role in the defense of France. But he has his doubts. When will the killing stop? How far will he have to go to protect the innocent?

Clouds in the Future is the second book in the Great War of the World series: a science fiction, alternate history, survival adventure. This epic series, where humanity grapples with the legacy of Martian technology and a second, more deadly, attack on Earth, will keep lovers of War of the Worlds on the edge of their seats.

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, * as well as a few fantasy stories that he won't talk about yet. Eric was lucky enough to inherit an incurable curiosity about technology and a tremendous love of science fiction from his father. 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.
