An ancient evil, trapped in the ruins of a lost Mayan temple for centuries, has been unleashed. It takes the form of a deadly virus, one that causes violent insanity in the living and the recently departed to rise and walk. It spreads around the globe, throwing the world into chaos and war.
As it progresses, those in the States who find themselves far away from the epicenter watch it unfold with unbelieving eyes. From Washington D.C. to Dover, New Hampshire, regular people are hurled into an existence outside their control, left to deal with catastrophic situations that they are unprepared to handle. Life becomes a nightmare, and that nightmare is spreading.
First time author Robert J. Duperre presents this scenario with The Fall: The Rift Book I, the first of a four-part series. In this book, he throws his characters into a gambit; when the alternatives are life or death, self-preservation or the protection of others, what path will they choose? Is there a darkness that resides in everyone, from every walk of life, that is screaming for release? When society falls apart and we are left to our own devices, will we make the right decisions, or let the tide take us where it may? There is horror, there is death, there are the walking dead, and all around are choices.
The novel is illustrated by Jesse David Young, whose drawings capture the intense feel of the events happening within. There are twenty illustrations in all, as well as the cover art he provided. These add to the reading experience and help to throw you, the reader, head-first into the world they have created.
This is such a wonderful time of year. The holidays are fast approaching, and before you know it, 2011 will be upon us.
And it is also an exciting time of year for me. There are a few project coming that I think anyone who's read my work will be interested in. First, I have a short story in the short story compilation "A Land of Ash", alongside David Dalglish, Daniel Arenson, David McAfee, Michael Crane, and John Fitch V. Also, my own short story comp, "The Gate: 13 Dark and Odd Tales" will be released sometime at the end of this month for the bargain-basement price of $0.99. And finally, come the middle of December, the second book of The Rift, titled "Dead of Winter", will be hitting the online bookstores.
In all, a very busy and thrilling next couple months. I hope all who've read "The Fall" will join me in the fun!
Sincerely,
Robert J. Duperre
