Somewhere in the remote Scottish Islands mysterious lights are witnessed swirling by a brook. For the onlooker this will bring adventures spanning the cosmos in pursuit of friendship but a secret lies at the heart of new alliances. One that will bring together the strangest forces in deadly pursuit.
Presidents will rage, empires will topple, cats will converse and cows will never feel safe again. Who will win in the face of impending apocalypse? Those that come together for collective purpose or those who unite under aligned self-interest. Perhaps it will even be a humble storekeeper and her companion who just want to go home. Hazy and The 18th will face danger at every turn and must trust in those they meet whether inquisitive astrophysicist, determined vlogger or excitable sweeper. Earth will never be the same again.
Don Locke is a first time author looking to make waves it in the world of science fiction. Hazy & The 18th is the culmination of a crazy notion to become a bona fide writer. A quirky take of unusual friendships spanning galaxies and realities, it is hoped that this first novel will spawn at least two more in a trilogy if all goes well with this first. As for the author himself, life's little adventures are looming large with a move to a new country in the offing and along with it the exciting challenge of learning a new language and embracing new cultural perspectives.
