About the Author:

Timothy C. Ward is a former executive producer and Hugo nominee for the podcast, Adventures in SciFi Publishing. He has been broke and lost on the other side of the world and now dreams of greater adventures from his keyboard in Des Moines, Iowa. His first published novel, Scavenger: Evolution, is a futuristic thriller where sand divers discover a buried military base and unleash the technology responsible for the apocalypse. The sequel, Scavenger: A.I., published in June, shows the evolution of that technology as two grieving parents try to resurrect their long deceased infant. Also in the summer of 2016, he will release his first book with Evolved Publishing, Godsknife: Revolt, an apocalyptic fantasy set in the rift between Iowa and the Abyss. Sign up to his author newsletter (eepurl.com/NA__X) for exclusive news and giveaways.

Review:

"Decisions have real consequences. People die. Good people do bad things, but even the fallen can find some kind of hazardous redemption... This book is honest -- honest about human nature, which makes it dark -- and optimistic, which makes it in the end oddly feel good." - Martin Page, Black Gate Magazine

"Ward infuses a classic down-on-his-luck scavenger tale with pathos, nobility and a faithful insight into the allurement of temporary pleasures. In short, pick this one up, it's a strong read that stands on it's own two feet." - Nick Cole, author of The Wasteland Saga and Soda Pop Soldier
