Ethan Howard is a freelance writer and a graduate of Rutgers University. He is a combat veteran who continues to serve in the military today through the reserves. Once an alternative school teacher, Mr. Howard is now a program director for a non-profit organization serving homeless and at risk youth. He offers a unique perspective on the human mind and the macabre due to personal and professional travels around the world. Mr. Howard is an avid reader with an affinity for the classics. His other hobbies include football, hiking, movie watching, and playing board games with his wife and son.
The planet is teetering on the brink of a war of cataclysmic proportions and doesn’t even realize it. People are being blindly led like lambs to slaughter by Rex Talion and only one woman knows the truth. “They” are coming and “They” will be unstoppable and “We” will need a miracle to survive.
Regina, a woman of deep personal convictions knows too much, so she and her son must die. For anyone who still believes we are alone in the universe, on this plane of existence or any other, prepare to become part of the End as an inter-galactic battle between good and evil is being staged on the chess board called Earth. Discover possible truths behind the faiths we cling to. Are the Powers we believe in actually alien beings seeking to test our resolve? Do we deserve to survive as a species?
As the players line up, the parallels between religious beliefs and alien tampering are terrifying. Has Talion come to cleanse the earth or is he evil run amok in a world seeking instant gratification preparing us to become his minions in hell? Has our true savior been among us? Quentin was sent to save our world, but he fell in love. Has he lost his way, misunderstood his mission? What role will Regina take on and how did this God-fearing woman become the warrior she is and finally Dante, a young and innocent child, who could he become and what would he stand for? Has the primordial soup boiled over leaving the truth of the world exposed, just as it is ending or will humans be given a second chance to get things right?...not if Talion has his way…
KNOW THY SELF could be Ethan Howard’s best addition to the Opportvnvs Adest Series as he rains chaos down on a clueless world eager for the pleasures of life. The simply brilliant imaginings from his mind have been shared and trust me the action is non-stop, the betrayals are brutal and the revelations can be heart stopping. From start to finish, this tale is amazing, rich with details that only add to the chaos and turmoil as Earth becomes the tennis ball in final match for survival.
Its time to meet another author, spread your reading wings and take flight into the world Ethan Howard has created. Mr. Howard has the power of suggestion down pat as he leads his readers into a world of what ifs, whys, and cause and effect as time runs out on humanity.
