Derek Beaugarde

Derek Beaugarde is the sci-fi pseudonym for author John McGee. John McGee was born in Glasgow in 1956 and he studied at Allan Glen's School for boys. The actor/author Sir Dirk Bogarde also went to Allan Glen's in the 1930s and the pen name is a homage to this great British actor. The story behind 2084 The End of Days is based on autobiographical and family history anecdotes then fictionalised by setting it within an Armageddon-genre fictional action thriller. Seven individuals who are struggling with their daily lives are thrown together to face their ultimate battle - the survival of mankind and the destruction of Planet Earth.

Derek Beaugarde has also recently published the sequel to 2084 The End of Days with a new space opera novella entitled 2112 Revelation. He has also published the prequel entitled 2048 BCE The Eye of Horus, which completes the 2084 Trilogy.
