About this ebook

It's 1915, fifteen years after the Martian invasion chronicled in War of the Worlds failed. The aliens left behind advanced technology and weapons, and now humanity is on the brink of a catastrophic war. Caught in the middle of the chaos are two unlikely heroes: Emil Zimmerman, a young German soldier, and James Brogan, an introverted radio engineer.


Emil dreamed of escaping his small village and making his way to the big city, but finds himself in the trenches fighting for an army that indiscriminately wields deadly Martian weapons. Meanwhile, James just wants to be left alone, but is pulled into a web of conspiracy when he's called upon to repair crucial radios on Long Island.


As the world hurtles towards the brink of destruction, Emil and James find themselves on a collision course with fate, each struggling to survive and make sense of a new reality.


Shadows of the Past is a science fiction, alternate history, survival adventure. Do you love War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells? Then this thrilling journey of humanity grappling with the legacy of Martian technology is the thrilling ride you're looking for.

About the author

Eric is the author of Shadows of the Past and Clouds on the Future, the first two books in a series about the aftermath of the Martian invasion in the H.G. Wells classic, The War of the Worlds. He's currently working on the next book, Murder in Soft Words, and a few fantasy stories that he won't talk about yet.

Eric was lucky enough to inherit his father's incurable curiosity about technology and tremendous love of science fiction. Both led to a career repairing radars in the U.S. Army, followed by another as a programmer on Wall Street. Now, he writes about technology during the day while writing sci-fi part-time.
