Résumé :
D.E.S.A. (Department of Extra Species Affairs) Files is back for their 4th adventure. Daniel Thomas always heard there was no rest for the wicked, but he never imagined it applied to him. Fresh off his adventure in New York, Daniel returns to his normal life, hoping for a good summer on the local con scene. But when he discovers one of his friends has been kidnapped, by a horde of goblins, Daniel is once again drawn into the secretive world of the elves. Together with a small group of dwarves who harbor no love for him or humans, Daniel races to the hidden goblin nest beneath Charleston, South Carolina. Time is running out, for goblins are notorious for eating their prisoners. Much worse, by breaking longstanding treaties with the elves, the goblins risk provoking an all-out war. Daniel must find his friend and stop the threat, but it might already be too late. The adventures of former soldier turned fantasy author Daniel Thomas return with the 4th installment of the popular D.E.S.A. Files....

Sommaire:
Christian W. Freed was born in Buffalo, N.Y. more years ago than he would like to remember. After spending more than 20 years in the active-duty US Army he has turned his talents to writing. Since retiring, he has gone on to publish over 30 military fantasy and science fiction novels, as well as his memoirs from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan, a children's book, and a pair of how to books focused on indie authors and the decision-making process for writing a book and what happens after it is published. His first published book (Hammers in the Wind) has been the #1 free book on Kindle 4 times and he holds a fancy certificate from the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest. Ok, so it was for 4th place in one quarter, but it's still recognition from the largest fiction writing contest in the world. And no, he's not a scientologist. Passionate about history, he combines his knowledge of the past with modern military tactics to create an engaging, quasi-realistic world for the readers. He graduated from Campbell University with a degree in history and a Masters of Arts degree in Digital Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He currently lives outside of Raleigh, N.C. and devotes his time to writing, his family, and their two Bernese Mountain Dogs. If you drive by you might just find him on the porch with a cigar in one hand and a pen in the other....
