JACK PALMER THE RESISTANCE

Alien invasions were no longer stuck in the movies.

They were real.

And humans were paying the price.

Three years ago, The Elders took control of Earth in one devastating night.

But even advanced alien species have secrets... ones Jack Palmer is now all too familiar with.

Reeling from his newfound knowledge, he knows there is only one option. He may never have asked or wanted to be the hero of Earth, but he won't stand by while The Elders make humans prisoners on their own planet.

Embarking on a mission off Earth to seek help from another alien species, he becomes involved in a Resistance he knew nothing about. But with every move he makes shaping the future of humanity, Jack risks cracking under the pressure.

He left Earth a prisoner. If he returns, he will arrive a fugitive. But will he come back alone?

Dan Batchelor grew up in West Sussex with his twin brother, and spent his childhood playing football, tennis, golf or any sport he could. At 18, during his time in college (where he studied Sociology, Media and PE), he learnt that he had dyslexia. Despite this, he went on to study Sports Science at University in High Wycombe, achieving a 2:1. Dan always had a love for reading, movies and any form of media, but it wasn't until he moved to London in 2012 that he started to come up with the concept for Jack Palmer: A New Order whilst working a telesales job. In 2018, Dan had a complete change of career and began working as a primary school teacher, a job he now loves. Whilst working as a teacher, Dan finished his story. Despite his dyslexia, and not having a background in literature, he knows the importance of reading and often tells the children he teaches: 'once you have learnt to read, you can read to learn'. His love of reading and storytelling is what inspired him to begin writing, and he continues to build new worlds and stories.
