Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In Zeron: The Awakening, Vindal Vandakoff spins a tale of Zeron, a planet trapped in disaster. Its people suffer daily the evolutionary path of hundreds of millions of years: formation of magma, desert, tsunami, ice age, and death-sleep, and they grow old and die every day from the same sickness. Tortured aliens reveal a pending invasion for control of the powerful Etholisk fuel, which gives its possessors a universal trade monopoly. When the Heiress, daughter of the Controller of Zeron, awakens from a dream in her death-sleep; something no one on Zeron has ever done before;she is forced to perform a task that will liberate her planet. But the message is inscribed into a tablet, and she possesses only half, the other half held by Warrior monks. When her brother, Nosalj, is given the other half and learns the horrid task, he hides it from her. As the power of the tablet begins to take over his life, he is haunted by memories from his past.

Biografía del autor:

Vindal Vandakoff is an entrepreneur, adventurer, and world traveler, having lived in Bali, Japan, and the Gold Coast of Australia, where he now resides with his wife and two daughters.He grew up in Sydney, Australia. When he was seventeen he had a serious motorbike accident and broke his spine in three places. The doctors said he would never walk again. But he disregarded their comments and willed himself to walk. Soon after, his brother, who was living on the island of Bali, Indonesia bought him a ticket to visit him. At that time, his brother was in the beginning stages of setting up a lace fashion company, Uluwatu Fashions. Vindal became the production manager. The company expanded to about 1500 workers and the garments where exported around the world. During that time his brother and he explored the Indonesian archipelago for new surf breaks, meeting many adventures such as; sinking their boat, surfing huge waves and tramping through the jungle for days to find new unexplored breaks. On one small island near Lombok (Gili Air) the villagers came out in their sampans as they thought they were running on the water (actually they were surfing) – after which the village put on a feast for them. Not long after that, Vindal met his wife, a Japanese model and actress. She gave up her career in Tokyo and went to live in Bali. After five years he built a yacht in the Sulawesi. His wife and he sailed the 50ft yacht, raw hull, no engine or navigational equipment – just sails and a compass around Indonesia encountering many adventures such as; chased by pirates, arrested by the Indonesian government as suspected spies, a volcanic island erupting only a day after they passed. On one island they were forbidden to leave until they converted their religion – which they refused and escaped in the dead of night. After seven years of business and adventure in Indonesia his wife and he move to Tokyo. After Vindal’s very sort stint as a model they moved to the country side, and set up a chain of English language schools. Whilst in Japan he studied various martial arts such as Aikido and Kendo. He took up rock and ice climbing scaling many of the mountains in the Japan. After that his wife and he began skydiving and participated in the world biggest skydive. He has previously published a children’s book in Australia ‘Tim’s Adventures on the Planet Alpha’ and ‘Zeron, the Awakening’, which got to number 18 on Amazon’s Science Fiction Bestsellers list.
