Cole Thompson thought his life was mundane and unusual. That was until he entered the United Earth Forces (UEF) fighter academy. He had lost both his parents early in his teens. At least he thought he had.
His father was out there waiting for him to mature...
His teen years built in him the experience and knowledge he needed to lead humanity into the future.
He was the conduit between humanity and its closest neighbour. A race that defined humanity. Could humanity really exist on other worlds?
Talis is waiting out there for us...
​Fans of dystopian shows like The Walking Dead or The Last of Us will find plenty to love in Times End. R. Prior's character-driven survival drama feels like a mirror held up to society during the lockdown years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior's writing is crisp and concise, wasting no words to get to the heart of the story and put the reader into the midst of the action. All the major characters have brief backstories that drive their actions and define their personalities. The dynamic between Ryan, Bella, Jake, and Tash feels genuine and relatable, acting as an anchor around which the story revolves. Readers who love dystopian survival tales will devour this with relish.

About Rod Prior
Rod Prior can usually be found reading a book, and that book will more likely than not be a science fiction adventure or a fantasy romance novel. Writing a novel was always on his bucket list, and eventually, with the release of the Cassian Princess Series, it became a reality. The Gathering is a gripping, erotic fantasy story which will leave you spell bound. Arcane Rising, Born Mage is an interesting read, combining magic and science fiction.
His new novels concentrate on science fiction and he is keen to investigate some out of this world ideas. Times End is a dystopian novel, a world which we never want to see, but maybe we will. When not absorbed in the latest gripping page-turner, Rod loves cooking, and otherwise spends far too much time at the computer. He lives in Australia, with his wife and extended family.
