Running in the Shadows - Davis, William G

. .

Résumé :
Based on a Hubble Telescope picture of a binary star system with a nova and white dwarf, The Shadow Universe series begins in the future, May 6, 2452, and includes six books: The Ways of Darkness, Running in the Shadows, Dawn of Darkness, Treasures of Darkness, Shadows of the Night, and When Darkness Falls. These books are for those who enjoy reading a fast-paced action-adventure space opera. Reading all six books is crucial because they do not stand alone, leaving cliffhangers at the end, except for When Darkness Falls, which concludes the story. As it evolves, many characters and plots tie together, and each one is essential to the outcome. Although set in a science fiction format, the saga is about people and our choices, so if you are not a science fiction fan but enjoy romance, suspense, action, and adventure, you may like this series as others have.

Biographie:
William has been a Science Fiction enthusiast since his youth. Any title with Star in it always got his attention. In 2007, after seeing a Hubble Telescope picture of a binary star system with a nova and white dwarf, he imagined living on a planet orbiting the dying sun. This thought became the foundation for The Shadow Universe series. Fifteen years later, he finished a fantastic story spanning twenty years. Although a novice, he put much thought and time into every aspect of the story to make it something he could be proud of and that readers would enjoy.
