Description

<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

Story Behind The Book

The inspiration for The Sleepwalkers came simply from watching the world - and America primarily - its transpiring events, and its culture today. As I've seen the bloated and reckless expansion of government in America I've likewise seen a citizenry that seemingly sees not and cares not. As I've watched world leaders overthrown and significant military buildups and movements, I've also watched an American culture that is absorbed in video games that simulate such events as the players remain clueless as to the legitimate threat to their soft, suburban existences. It is a culture that knows not and cares not that the greatest threat may emanate from within. Yes, The Sleepwalkers fiction was inspired by the darkness that in my view America is being swallowed up in while its citizenry is seemingly absorbed in the process of dulling its pain. There are watchmen at the wall and they are issuing warnings through alternative media sources, but who is listening? As the society has for the greatest part turned from God, how will it be saved? There is a darkness creeping and it is as much supernatural as natural, but there is a hope and a deliverance. The nation is in danger but there is a fortress and a strong tower for which to shield us. We merely need to open our eyes before it's too late. This is the story of The Sleepwalkers.
