David M. Peak
Time began for David Peak in 1983. Since then his writing has appeared in numerous print and online journals. The Rocket's Red Glare is his first novel.
Since the beginning of time, 1983, germlife on the Quarter has been divided: one side against the other. And one key question remains unanswered — is the Quarter flat? Or is it round?
Caught up in the struggle for truth is Bill Whooping and his best friend Wesley, two Bi-Peds who leave their humble origins behind and travel to In God We Trust City in an attempt to find a cure for Bill’s little brother, whose strange “coughing” noises have been getting worse.
But life on the Quarter is changing: buildings are disappearing, dreams are becoming intertwined with reality, and another Great War looms in the not-so-distant future. Fields of rockets are primed, calibrated to destroy the “other side” — and germkind as a whole.
Unless Bill and Wesley can do something to stop it.
