About the Author

Larry P. Buckingham was born and raised in the little town of Tooele, Utah, nestled against the base of the Oquirrh Mountains and located near the Great Salt Lake. He found his passion for fly fishing in the beautiful rivers and lakes around the region. The exploration of the desert, canyons and mines perked his interest, an interest that ultimately led to a career in surveying. Along with other adventures in flying, sky diving and scuba diving, he is a movie enthusiast and avid reader of science fiction and fantasy. This tale was birthed during late night conversations, agonized over for years, and eventually overcame the apprehensions this writer held for being a true author. His desire to create the enjoyment he’d received from great authors, such as Clyde Cussler, Isaac Asimov, Anne McCaffrey, and Stephen Donaldson, grew into the production of the novel you now hold in your hands. Larry currently resides on the coast of South Carolina with his significant other, Darlene, where they both enjoy the warmth and sunshine only the south can provide.
