About the author
Ed Bowie
14 books4 followersMy name is Ed Bowie — and I write adventures.
I'm not wedded to any particular genre, but where I can, I've written stories in groups...
The Arctic Trilogy books (VINTERKRIG / SOMMERKRIG / PITERAQ) are all out-and-out action adventures. They've been described as Alistair Maclean stories for the digital age — which I'm pretty OK with.
The Liberation Trilogy (CARNIVAL OF HATE / ACT OF MALICE / PURSUIT OF EVIL) are historical adventures set in the last months of the Second World War. They're rather more layered and thoughtful — but still very fast-paced.
At the moment TOTALITY stands alone. It's a complex adventure, aimed at people who really love a historical thriller. It's an accessible read — but it will have your head spinning. I'm working on the second story in the series THE RULE OF ISFET — but it's tough going because the people who love TOTALITY have very high expectations.
On a much lighter note, I've just released a children's book ORC WORLD — which is a lot of fun, in a naughty, slightly gory way.
MANDELMAN — which comes out next month, is a fantasy adventure, set in a world which is perpetually at war. I'll let you know a bit more about it nearer the time...
