Salvation is my debut novel, over 3 years in the making.  The inspiration came from watching films, reading books and thinking to myself "That was good, but it could have been better if....".  Personally I often felt that the authors or screenwriters attempted to gain mass appeal from their work, cutting down the violence of war or combat to gain a 'PG' rating, or alternatively ensuring there was always a 'happy ending' with the main characters surviving insurmountable odds.  

I often watched or read and thought to myself, even when it was a fantasy or Sci-Fi, that the story wouldn't happen like that in real life, and this devalued the work ever so sligthly to me. I am sure I am not alone in having have felt this at some time. Take Harry Potter for example; surely one of the main children characters would have fallen at the hands of the Death Eaters during their interactions? Or, in Lord of the Rings, the odds of each one of the Hobbits surviving the countless altercations they endured must have been astronomical!

So, what is Salvation about? Well, the easiest way to answer that is question is with two words - 'Sci-Fa' - Science Fiction meets Fantasy. Think Independence Day meets Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings, but with violence seen in the Game of Thrones series. The book is most definitely aimed at an adult audience, and I have purposely not looked to pull any punches!
