World's End

by M.W. Huffman

Sterilization of Earth by unknown visitors has already begun. The few remaining survivors are fighting a war for existence against superior forces. The key to saving humanity rests with a few brilliant scientists who are deep underground in facilities known as DUMBS. Just when there seems to be no hope for mankind, Sarah Knott, one of the scientists, discovers a startling fact about the invading forces’ weapons. Her experiment leads to a possible solution and gives hope for the prospect of rendering the invaders weapons ineffective in their effort to sterilize the planet for their own future use. In a race against time, Sarah and her team must build the weapon and determine if it will really work. There is only one way to do this. They must expose themselves to the aliens and test the weapon on the actual target. If there is a miscalculation, it will be not only the end of Sarah and unlikely hero, James, but the entire civilization of Earth. With the weapon ready to fire and all final calculations made, the showdown begins. The outcome will determine if this indeed will be Earth’s End. The tense ending is one you won't want to miss.

About the author

Marshall W. Huffman did not set out to be a published author. Most of his writing was for personal satisfaction. His wife, Susan, consistently tried to talk him into submitting his work for publication but the idea of rejection deterred him.

It wasn’t until 2012 that he finally gave in and at her insistence e-published his first book, THE END. That almost turned out to be a disaster when he accidentally published the rough draft instead of the finished book.

After that little setback and of course, republishing the finished manuscript, his writing career has really taken off.

Marshall’s first trilogy is THE EVENT and consists of THE END, THE BEGINNING, and THE REVELATION. His second trilogy is called THE SECOND CIVIL WAR. BOOK I- A NATION DIVIDED; BOOK II - A NATION AT WAR; and BOOK III - A NATION HEALING. The series is a look at today's world and what could well happen within the next few years.

He has also published a series of books entitled: THE LOGAN FILES with a central cast of characters. In addition, he has another series entitled: THE NORRIS FILES with its own set of central characters. He enjoys writing mysteries, techno-thrillers, and Sci-Fi.

His newest books THE BRINK – DEEP FLIGHT and THE BRINK – DAY OF RECKONING are intense techno-thrillers with Sci-Fi intertwined. His latest addition is CHIMERA. It is a look at what could well happen if we don’t stop twisting science in perverted way.

Marshall was born in Bainbridge, Georgia and grew up in Indiana. After spending eight years in the Navy, he attended Ball State University, earning a B.S. degree in Business.

During and after college, he was involved in the restaurant business and spent the next twenty-five years in all types of venues, eventually owing his own fine dining restaurant. After years of long hours, he decided on a career change.

He attended Eastern Illinois University earning a MBA. Because of his business background, Eastern Illinois University asked him to teach in the hospitality management program. He was recruited from Eastern to Parkland College and soon took over as the Program Director for the Hospitality Program.

During his tenure there, he became a chef and had a television show called Cooking around the World with Chef Marshall and taught a series of cooking classes for Continuing Education as well.

Professor Huffman retired from teaching along with his wife, Dr. Susan Huffman, to Tampa Bay Florida.
