Shadows of the Past
About this audiobook
It’s 1915, twenty years after the Martian invasion chronicled in the 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 the thrilling journey of The Great War of the Worlds, where humanity grapples with the legacy of Martian technology, is the ride you’re looking for.
About the author
Eric Goebelbecker was lucky enough to inherit an incurable curiosity about technology and a tremendous love of science fiction from his father. Both led to a career repairing radars in the US Army, followed by another as a programmer on Wall Street. Now, he writes about technology during the day, and sci-fi and fantasy on his own time.
Stuart Gauffi was fascinated by vocal performance at a very young age, steeped in the golden age of Mel Blanc, June Foray, and dozens of others. The result was an ever-increasing number of odd sounds emanating from those young vocal cords; and a life of performance on stage, radio, industrial film, and various digital media including dozens of audiobooks.
