David McGowan was born in Liverpool, in the United Kingdom.
His debut novel, The Hunter Inside, is a psychological thriller with a difference. Spanning the supernatural and packed with suspense, it asks the question "What would you do if you and your family were under threat by a monster that could ultimately take over the minds of everyone on the planet? Would you run, or would you stand and fight?"
From The Sky is David's second major work and an Amazon best seller. It is an epic 700-page science fiction, alien invasion trilogy, the titles of the parts being 'Arrival', 'Journey' and 'Nevada'. Read the blurb below!
Find out the secrets of alien evolution, what the government knew about extraterrestrials, and whether humankind can survive first contact with an advanced alien race. When three massive UFOs arrive over Camberway, California, they bring with them an apocalyptic nightmare.
Within twenty-four hours of their appearance, few survivors remain. They have only questions. Now they must search for answers.
Sheriff Jim Hoolihan must lead the survivors through the devastation in search of those answers.
Why are the aliens here? What do they want?
They set out across California, trying to survive long enough to figure it all out.
When a second wave of UFOs arrives and drops hordes of six-legged creatures that immediately begin to hunt, the stakes are raised.
But one of the group carries an amazing secret. When they meet a man who can lead them to their final destination, the secret is revealed and their mission is understood.
It is a mission to the most famous top-secret base in the Nevada desert.
Can they make it there in time to save humankind, and the aliens, from a terrible fate?
Our survivors from the first book are making their escape from the alien ships which have caused the disappearance of their families and the occupants of their town. Tucker, the young boy, seems to have some connection to the aliens and talks as though he can see some future events. The two groups end up together through alien intervention.
I found this an intriguing interpretation of alien visitation and intervention. I like the interaction between the characters who, in many cases, had deep feeling for one another, but in others cases great antipathy. Watching this play out was a great deal of the enjoyment for me. As this was part two of a three part story there was no final resolution. I tend not to like an unresolved ending, so for this reason, I look forward to reading the last episode which I hope won’t be long in coming.
Another amazing book, loved that it started off exactly where the first one finished. I hope the final installment is out soon as I can't wait to read it. Best alien invasion series I have read.
