📆 7th March, Friday
🕛 2-3:30 pm
📍Bursledon Library

Terry Dunn, the author of Dannu’s Man (Book 1 of the Danebury Trilogy), would be our first guest and we are proud to invite you to meet him and discuss the books of his amazing Trilogy!

A bit about the first book:
Meet Shaun Parrish. A good man. A good soldier. Good at his job, good with his friends and comfortable within himself.
But what happens when all this is taken away? How can a man survive in a place where he knows nothing? With no friends, no communication, no local knowledge.
Stranded alone in a land he does not understand, unable to speak the language or understand the people in it. Stranded in a land where it can be fatal to say or do the wrong thing. Shaun Parrish must keep his wits about him and adapt, quickly, or die trying. Surviving in the Stone Age can be as hard as its name implies!

“THE JACK REACHER OF THE NEOLITHIC!”

Come down for the amazing opportunity to meet and greet the author and discuss his excellent work!
