Written as a companion novel to Risen and Risen: Darklight, Echoes of War tells us what the echoes, psychic reverberations of violent deaths that appear as ghosts and led by the incomparable Hannibal Barca of ancient Carthage, are doing between the major engagements of the two books. Which is a combination of learning both how to fight in a modern war while NOT killing each other as old conflicts arise with the return of memory. See how Hannibal begins to craft his determined volunteer ghosts into the formidable fighting force that plays a key role in not only the various raids the Risen engage in, but the assault on the siphon and the alpha tournament as well. He may only be an echo of his former self, but the former general is still one hell of a commander of soldiers! Join him and the echoes as they prepare to go to war against the Velkin.

It's the 24th Century, and the world is getting smaller. Alonso Creed is being trained to inherit a position in government which will set him up to be hated and live in isolation for the rest of his life. But he is considered by everyone else as one of the lucky ones. After discovering a secret that threatens the moral code and law he's known for sixteen years, Alonso must choose between his future, and a family who despise him. All the while, the rest of the country try to uncover why third born children keep disappearing, and what Alonso's father is hiding from everyone...even his own son. Everyone has secrets in an age where everything is monitored, some are just better at adapting to it. ~~Just to say - this is the shorter first draft and I won't be posting my revised edition until I'm 80 and finally give up on ever being published haha! This version is quite different to the one I'm currently working on so please excuse the terrible pacing etc though feel free to point anything out you don't like! :P ~~ Wonderful cover by EurekaEureka!!

The Wattpad version of the book is told in a BitNovel(TM) format. Say you're in a car, you're in between classes, you're in a long line, or you're just on lunch break and only have a smartphone to entertain you. You want to read a story but simply don't have the time to get through a 10-page episode (chapter). Or you don't know if you can find a stopping point. What do you do? Read a BitNovel, of course! Each episode from the Vecto book is divided into "bits" that make your smartphone reading enjoyable! It provides stopping points for you and gives a quick summary of the story at the beginning of each bit so you can jump right back into the story. No rereading necessary! Try it out, and say goodbye to boredom. It's rated 13+ due to violence. This book is dedicated to my friends C.T. Smith, H.D. Chattin, George Arthur Guinn IV (a.k.a. J.G. Guinn), and others who have helped me through the writing process. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be the writer I am today.
