Where Did It All Go Wrong?

This book is produced as if written by five family members, each producing content in 20 year blocks, from the year 2000 to the year 2100. It is the thoughts of those family members on 26 topics, first laid down by their Great, Great Grandfather, ending with the collating of the notes by the last person in the family. He is about to travel with his family, along with 4 others, to a distant planet some 5 light years away in the hope of colonising a new world.

As he and the others are watching the celebrations on Earth on New Years Eve of 2099 from their space craft in orbit around the world, they see something that changes their outlook completely.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

1. The author is an 80 year old male who has spent half of his life being shot at, stoned and spat at, during the 40 years he spent in the Royal Air Force. During that time he had many postings, 17 in all, with 6 of them being overseas. In the latter part of his service career he produced and edited Qty. 11 NATO Interoperability publications that entailed him travelling from his UK base to any of the nations in the NATO Central Region countries, including USAFE. He was doing that approximately twice per month for 6 years and spending a week at each location.

2. Once retired from serving 'Queen and Country', he became a self employed builder, mostly refurbishing old barns into desirable residences.

3. Since he became an 'Old Age Pensioner, ' he has spent time writing Qty. 3 books which are;

a) 'A - I'm an Armourer, B - I'm an Armourer.' (Life story).

b) 'Now That I'm Redundant' (A military 'who-dun-it').

c) This one, which is not militarily focussed.

4. This book is produced by someone, supposedly, in the year 2100. He gathers the facts written down by 5 family members down the timeline from the year 2000 until the year 2100.
