Since its publication just two months ago, by Netherworld Books (UK), "Twilight Visitor" has already been described as '...a high concept thriller that is comparable with the best of Dan Brown or Jack Higgins,' says novelist, David Luddington.
Book-Reviewer.com says, 'The story races along with (the) pace of a Tom Clancy thriller...'
"Twilight Visitor" is a global thriller which depicts an all too-real energy-desperate China shocking the world with its sudden invasion into Iran to secure its oil. Meanwhile, a lonely man sits on the beach of his home village in Portugal, trying to resolve his dysfunctional personal life, when he meets a strange mystery woman who informs him that because of his special field of knowledge that he alone holds the answer to an impending and inevitable global nuclear war which is about to occur and which leaders seem helpless to stop. Two worlds collide, as the Sino-Persian conflict escalates in just 24 hours into a global debacle, and as this one man comes head-to-head with the ghosts of his own past, fighting to hold onto a shadow of himself while refusing to do anything about the approaching crisis. A high tech, high-octane, adrenaline-pumping thriller with political and philosophical insights which pose many questions.
About the Author:
Réal Laplaine is an internationally published author, mostly in the genre of thrillers and techno-thrillers. While he currently lives in Sweden, he was born in Canada.

Phil Sanderson, the author of '2018: An Uncivil War,' proudly announces that the near-future action thriller is now available in print!
The novel depicts the next American Civil War after the federal government repeals the 2nd Amendment, sparking riots and organized resistance throughout the nation. The story centers on three main characters. Stuart Milligan is a gun club owner who loses his business after the repeal; Terrance Crawley is a detective who is eventually tasked with collecting weapons from rebellious citizens; and Trent Dawg is a rockstar who uses his music to prompt Americans to fight for their gun rights.
'The story shows valid points on both sides of the gun control argument and encourages the reader to pick their own side,' Sanderson revealed. 'But the novel's ending was written in a manner I hope will shock the reader, while at the same time appealing to his or her strong sense of justice.'
Published by AuthorHouse Publishing, Sanderson's novel, available in ebook format on Amazon and Barnes & Noble since Labor Day 2013, is now available in hardcover format (with dustjacket) for $31.99 and in softcover format for $23.95 in the same venues.
'I recently mourned the passing of two great masters of the action thriller: Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy,' Sanderson said. 'I would very much like an opportunity to appeal to the readers of these legendary authors, but I can never really get the opportunity without as much local support as the local media and libraries are willing to give.'
