Rising Leviathan by Austin Dragon Book Tour and Guest Post

ABOUT RISING LEVIATHAN

 

Title: Rising LeviathanGenre: Science FictionAuthor: Austin Dragon

Rising Leviathan is the latest sci-fi thriller in the After Eden series—a dramatic mix of politics, religion, and intrigue. The saga continues in the Russian Bloc (Yes, Russia “owns” Eastern Europe too) in the year 2096 with the inexplicable death of the Russian president. Or was it murder? As one leader falls, a deadly power rises. Will there be war or more than one? The march to the explosion of World War III continues— the first global war of the tek age, a hell we have never seen before.

  Guest Post, thank you so much for being our guest.

Though I was born an artist, first drawing and then writing took over, with

my first book at three years old. Life happened and I had my corporate

career. I hadn't written anything in about 15 years, but something about the

After Eden Series snapped me back into writing. The three main themes that

lead me to the books were, firstly, I have always been good at predicting

trends, good, bad and everything in between. What if I could travel into the

future as civilian journalist? What would I see in terms of the culture,

politics, geopolitics, religions, technology, etc. The second theme was the

fact that virtually all science fiction that we see on television and movies

suggests that there is no religion in the future. We "outgrow" it. Whether

you're religious or not, with three-fifths of the planet belonging to one

religion or another, that is simply not even remotely believable. All Jews,

Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, etc. just disappear? Lastly, as a native New

Yorker and remembering when the Twin Towers were completed back in the '70s,

I was deeply impacted by Nine-Eleven. The image of the attack on the "Three

Towers," built by the descendant of one of the victims who became President

of the United States, became the opening of World War Three in my sci-fi

thriller series.
