    The Fall Wars has caused the collapse of humanity.

    They said the USS John Steinbeck was lost with all hands. But in its place, nobody knew the super-carrier had became wrecked in Antarctica.

    Now, with their dying nuclear reactor, and a dwindling supply of electricity, the horror of lasting through winter settles heavily on their minds. One man hatches an audacious plan. Richard Gabriel must evacuate his ice stricken family and escape the claws of the looming blackout. They must sail to Australia. But the reality of the Australia they'd learned about, is far from the images that live in their minds.

    Carl Lakeland

    Carl Lakeland lives with his wife in the sleepy town of Snake Valley, 36 kilometers southwest of Ballarat in Australia. Lakeland grew up during the early seventies western suburbs of Sydney. Having enlisted into the military at the age of seventeen, he draws on his experience to create powerful and engaging speculative fiction. “Sometimes, I can’t let things be,” says Lakeland. “I write stories with a passion that others might see as being obsessive. I live and breathe it. I dream it when I sleep. But I never write down my dreams. If I can’t remember those things I’ve dreamt, they’re not important enough.” Carl Lakeland’s stories revolve around the element of ‘what if?’ He pushes the boundaries of his stories to the edge of the Official Secrets Act, which will have the reader wondering about the aspect of creative license, or the possibility of fact in his writing. Either way, the reader will be left to make up their own mind. His books are fast paced, edge of your seat thrillers which are distinctively written in a way that will have the reader guessing which way the story is about to head. “As a writer, unpredictability is the key essence. If I write something that can be foreseen in coming chapters, it’s not good enough. I will scrap it. My goal is to keep the reader wondering, even sometimes to the detriment of my good guys!”
