Master Defiance

by Blair Wylie

The aliens are landing!

On a post-apocalyptic earth, the human species has reverted to its ancient native ways, surviving and thriving by hunting and fishing. It will be so easy for the strange invaders to take control.

But... there is one thing left from the old technological age of years before: a machine the earth hominids call "Mother", which can teach them, through revisiting history, how to defend themselves.

Someone, many years ago, once said, "What have the Romans done for us?"

Well... now, their ideas might just save the planet!

'Master Defiance' is the first in a series.

About the author

Blair Wylie is a retired Canadian oil and gas engineer and manager. He worked thirty-five years in a number of interesting places, including the Arctic, Western Siberia, the North Sea, Newfoundland, and Trinidad and Tobago. In his second career as a writer, he prefers to stay in the plausible world with respect to science, and character studies. His stories place everyday people in awkward if not outright terrifying situations, then have them discover hidden strengths while they rescue themselves. He hopes readers will come away feeling better about themselves, and about the future in general.
