William W SomersWm Somers is retired and quietly living in central Florida with his wife and two dogs. Although he's never had to transit between parallel universes he has traveled extensively, having visited six of the seven continents of our world, save only Antartica. He is a dedicated fan of "hard" science fiction, some fantasy and the works of Clive Cussler. He has visited Egypt and spent a week on the Nile and crawled into a pyramid (they weren't meant for someone six foot two). He spent time living in Tokyo. He drove a car up the coastal road in Australia and to Katherine in the outback. He's been to Hong Kong prior to the mainland takeover, to Seoul, Brussels, London, Managua, Cairo, Cartagena de Indies and Fiji. He's visited the Panama Canal and Stonehenge and the old forts in St Augustine, Nassau and San Juan in Puerto Rico. His most interesting trip was his visit to Central America and the Mayan ruins, which inspired this book. The ruins at Xunantunich in Belize Read More Read Less
