The Book
Synopsis
The End is only the Beginning....
It wasn't the first time Lieutenant Travis
Daniels had been far from his wife and son. Leading an elite team on countless
missions, dodging death at every turn-it was what he was trained to do. And
returning to his family was always his driving force... but this time might be
different. Imprisoned for an unsanctioned intrusion into a hot zone, Travis and
his elite team took a deal to assist in the colonization of Mars to evade the
death penalty. While stationed there, Travis' only source of sanity were the
brief video conversations he was allowed with his family. When the last
transmission received showed choppy images of the city in darkness and blurs of
humanoid creatures running through the streets, Travis and his team must decide
to either stay on Mars or find a way back to his family-unknowing of the hell
that Earth has become.

Top 10 Favorite Things with Kevin J. Howard
1.Favorite author (dead or alive): Stephen King
2. Favorite Chocolates: See's Candy milk chocolate bordeaux
3. Favorite books that inspired you to write: Stephen
King's Salem's Lot, The Stand, and It. I
read them back in the fifth grade, and I knew I wanted to be an author.
4. Favorite songs to listen to while writing: This is impossible. My taste in music changes hourly. Mozart's Requiem, Queen, Pink Floyd, The
Doors, Alison Krauss, The Beatles, some techno.
5. Favorite destination to live? I
would like to live in the beautiful forests near Yosemite, or possibly just
outside of Yellowstone in Montana. A
small house with an amazing view, and some land.
6. Favorite Musicians/bands/groups: The Beatles, Heart, Green
Day, Stevie Wonder, Louis Prima.
7. Favorite movies of all time: The Lost Boys, So I
Married an Axe Murderer, Star Wars, Star Trek, Amadeus.
8. Favorite TV program/series? The
Simpsons, The Walking Dead.
9. Favorite movie moments: There are so many it's almost impossible to
list. The attack on the Death Star in
the original Star Wars, Ed Harris slowly falling to what he thinks is his death
in the Abyss, the classic moment when William Shatner yells Khan's name in Star
Trek II, when you realize Ed Norton is really Tyler Durden in Fight Club, and when Jeff Daniels walks off the screen in
the Purple Rose of Cairo. So many
wonderful movies out there.
10. Favorite Super Villain: I would say it's probably the Joker. I'm not sure he's a super villain, but he's
crazy and cruel, which I think makes him terrible even without super
powers. Crazy means unpredictable, and
unpredictable means anything. Plus who
doesn't enjoy a villain that's always laughing and cracking terrible
jokes.
11. Favorite gadgets: I think everyone would agree that
the iPhone is awesome. A device capable
of connecting you to the world, and it fits nicely in the palm of your hand.
12. Favorite dream destinations: Bora Bora.
