hi guys
the book wont be available until after 30 August 2009, but here’s a sneak preview from the prologue. Hope you enjoy it!
The silhouette of the Khao-I-Dang mountain range created a shadowy blanket over the settlement below. The dwellers slept, unperturbed by the sound of ominous night creatures howling from the mountains. They slept despite the roof of their huts crumbling onto them, and the straw from the tattered mats prickling into their already-broken backs. They slept despite the insects that crawled around in their huts, gnawing with excitement into their malnourished bodies.
This was the least of their concern. They slept soundly to the night’s lullaby, lulled by the gentle warm breeze that passed through. They dreamt of streams that carried with its flow fresh food and water, devoid of skulls and bones that made rest in their memories. Uh! They surely rested as if they were lying a feather bed. Well! that was until footsteps broke their slumber…footsteps from steel boots marching against the dusty red roads that decorated the camp floor and they dreamt no longer.
