Here’s the link for the digital format on the Kindle.
Here’s a brief description of Horizon in case you are interested in reading:
Our world is in danger of extinction due to the multiple world wars that have progressed the last century. The government aggressively strikes a new specimen into the general population, which was discovered on a world called Mariknia. This new specimen has created a catastrophic event that could lead to an apocalyptic end to our home, Earth.
Aaron Lambright is the son of a navy hero, an alcoholic, and a struggling citizen of Australia that can’t hold a stable job or relationship. In this chaotic end to earth, Aaron will be our only hope for survival.
It’s very cool that you have your own book! How did you manage to get it published? I’ve always wanted to write my own but I figured it was really hard to get them published. Well done, it sounds like a good read!

I actually spent about 3-4 years doing research on the subject and genre. I also edited like 50 times and had other eyes looking at it throughout the years. I hired an editor and she said that it was fantastic. It had a few minor corrections that needed to be made, but she loved the plot and the character development. Honestly, I never did send to a publisher or an agent. I just said the hell with it and self published it. I’m surprised about the outcome of it. i already have readers begging for my second book. So I’m actually extremely proud of it, even though i didn’t go through traditional publishing. If you go traditional, it’s hard from what I hear,plus you don’t have as much say on what goes into your book. So that’s why I did this one on my own.

This sounds like a sci-fi book I read many years ago. Alvin was a ‘unique’. His purpose was to find a way out of the sphere which had been created eons past by survivors of Earth after a great catastrophic event.
As I write I’m now finding it hard to see the similarities..!!
However, I can’t recall the book title or author, and haven’t known anyone else who has read the book.
You sound like a good bloke. All the best with your writing. I believe you are very good.

Absolutely, however I doubt I’ll ever remember it; I’ve been trying now for a heck of a long time.
I very seldom read these days; nothing holds my interest. However, as I mentioned, you have a talent. Keep going with it, and it’ll pay off for you, my friend.
