Synopsis

A Military Sci-Fi with a Twist

The Shadow Man was there when Milune was destroyed, wielding a power that ordinary folk should not behold. But frightened children are rarely believed.

With Abraham’s mother dead, his father tries desperately to build his sons a new life on a new world. There are friends, enemies, romances, and the usual embarrassments of teenage years. But Abraham dreams only of revenge – against the vile Riskar, destroyers of Milune.

Enamored by tales of the great campaign against the Riskar, Abraham signs up, the realities of war and the dynamics of camaraderie molding a simple farmboy into a deadly and intuitive soldier.

But there are truths still to emerge, and The Shadow Man is no longer the distant memory of a frightened child. Nor does he hover at the edges of Abraham’s dark dreams. In fact, he is much closer than Abraham could have imagined.

REVIEWS

• “a nice change to consider what the ‘grunts’ actually thought and felt…to explore where they came from. Burnworth doesn’t pull any punches…socio-political conditioning…[and] issues of xenophobia and racial prejudice are tackled. But there's plenty of action to keep […] the reader on course amidst this intriguing plot…you’ll enjoy every gunfight and explosion as you follow the marines through basic and out into the battlefield. If you liked Starship Troopers or are a fan of the Halo games, you won’t go far wrong with this one. A fun read that’ll leave you eagerly awaiting the next book.” - Ronald A. Geobey, Author of Gods of Kiranis
• "[Redshift] is a banger of a novel. Suave political maneuvering, thrilling action, and entertaining banter amongst soldiers make Redshift a pulsating page-turner that you can't put down. [...] With an intricate plot that moves briskly, Burnworth keeps the reader hooked on every page [...] ...attention to detail...characters are well-realized [and] thoroughly compelling...action scenes are described vividly. [...] I would recommend Redshift to anyone who wants an epic sci-fi saga." RF Review

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Tyler writes with an awareness of the human psyche, the surface humility of his work at the same time belying and complementing the sophistication of its emotional undercurrent. Redshift is a tale of loss and the need for vengeance, but it is also a coming-of-age drama of a young man finding himself adrift in an uncaring universe while he lives, loves, and fights for what he believes to be right.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Tyler grew up in the Ohio village of Oak Harbor with three baby sisters, a military father and a supportive mother. At age 17, he wrangled his father into signing the early release form to join the Air Force, and his life has never been the same. For Tyler, writing has always been there, and he completed five novels prior to the inception of Redshift. With a Master of Arts in Fiction Writing, his perspective on the craft has evolved since the halcyon days of many an abandoned tale. Countless stories and characters have steered Tyler through the best and worst times of his life, and it is now his goal to convey such inspiration to the world. He lives with his lovely wife and 'Irish' twins (14 months apart!) in the Nevada desert, just beyond the shadow of the most secure - and obscure - military base in the world: Area 51. We assure you, however, that Tyler most certainly exists.
