The Automata Wars: The Home Front 💀 scary.co

Home is where the heart is… Certainly for the soldiers on the front line, where winter is fast approaching and their unknown enemy assails them with unspeakable tactics. In the face of a losing battle, all that keeps the troops sane is the thought of their loved ones, safe at home… Home, where the fires are burning low, the wealthy keep stiff upper lips, travelling conspicuously in conveyances drawn by modified Beasts, and parading their newly invented technology to demonstrate that life can go on as normal. The lower orders turn to either the politicians or the nameless god for hope. On the street corners and in the houses of ill repute, working girls have other methods of keeping up morale. The home front is not as safe as the soldiers imagine. Shadowy creatures hide in the unlikeliest of places. Killers stalk the streets. Enemy agents perpetrate acts of atrocity. From spoilt debutante to working man, no one is immune from the horror. And behind the façade of everyday life, a secret war rages, hidden battles are won and lost far from the light of day… The Home Front is where the heart is, and the heart needs protecting... First published in paperback in 2012, this digital edition includes an author afterword and updated biography. "...transcends genre limits to such an extent that if we didn't call it Steampunk we'd have to call it something like Gothic-Sciencefiction-Crime-Thriller-Horror." - The Last Line publishing house. Direct reader feedback: "I have just read "The Home Front" ... against my better judgement as it appeared to not be my sort of book at all! However I was proved wrong as I found it interesting and a gripping read and the first book that I have actually finished for a long time. I thought that the devices used to build and destroy reader expectation were clever, the storyline well written and the whole concept ingenious. The intertextuality gives an insight your own reading and interests and complements the originality of the storyline." Be aware... they walk amongst us...
