James Harison-May

Primus James Harison-May

The natural forces of the world reclaimed the land after mankind did its best to destroy the planet with devastating wars. Finally, Earth can once again provide everything humans need to survive.

Throughout a much-changed world, small pockets of survivors have started to repopulate the altered natural landscape, but without such conveniences as electricity, communications, and fossil fuels.

Still, some of mankind's worst traits have survived, including the need to crave power over others. Roving bands of raiders armed not with guns or explosives, but with medieval weaponry roam the land. The wars removed complex methods of killing, pushing civilization back to the dawn of warfare, when swords were the elite weapons.

Primus is the story of one person who started to fight back against the oppression of his people, taking the fight to the raiders in a language they can understand. He sets out alone, but encounters other like-minded fighters as eager as he to exact revenge on the raiders and put an end to the human slave trade that has become the commonplace.

For Primus, the young student warrior who started his quest naked, beaten, and almost broken, his journey marks the passage from a student in training to a man, a lover, and a warrior honoured by his people with the title of master. From an early age he was selected and tutored to attain this honour, but nowhere was it planned for his road to take the route it did.

Author Bio: James Harison-May has spent his life in Blackpool, England. This is the first book in a series that was conceived from the idea: What would the world be like if a third world war happened?
