About the author
James Austin McCormick
19 books63 followersI'm a college lecturer from England and a fan of all types of speculative fiction, most notably science fiction, horror & sword and sorcery fantasy. Where possible I try to blend these elements together in my own writing.
H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs were my first writing inspirations and more recently Frank Herbert and Clive Barker whose works I never grow tired of re-reading.
I live in the rainy city of Manchester with my wife and two young daughters, the elder of which is something of a budding writer herself.

A short story with enough action for a full-length novel. The young hero of this story is brave and smart, but, with a twist similar to that in H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, he finds it takes more than his determination to bring down The Clockwork Man. The narrative is filled with the author's usual descriptive prose and there's also a surprise ending. This story is one of James Austen McCormick's best so far. Rad it and enjoy!
