Frederick Carpenter’s New Book, “Luke Vs. the Nuke: Forsaken Territory,” Follows One Man’s Involvement in Trying to Prevent a Nuclear Civil War Within America
Jamestown, RI, May 15, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Frederick Carpenter has completed his most recent book, “Luke Vs. the Nuke: Forsaken Territory”: a gripping story that centers around one man’s struggle for survival in the middle of a separatist strike in an America ravaged by nuclear war and inner conflict amongst its citizens.
“In the aftermath of war, Corporal Luke Bowen, US army, survived the worldwide conflict between Eastern and Western cultures,” writes Carpenter. “He was present when the most horrible scenes played out. Near the end of the war, the United States dropped a tactical nuclear bomb close to its own lines to stop an enemy suicide attack.
“Somehow, he made it out of the conflict, but at a substantial cost. Recovering in a field hospital, he discovered that his injuries, although life-changing, were not as devastating as those around him affected by the nuclear radiation.
“After rehabilitation, Luke chose the army as a career. No longer capable of serving in the infantry, he was assigned a desk job in the new frontier of America. During the war, the United States also suffered several nuclear strikes. Not only did America have to manage the ravages of war but it also had to deal with a separatist movement brewing in the central states.”
Published by Fulton Books, Frederick Carpenter’s thrilling book will follow Luke as he becomes embroiled in the ongoing conflict and, while on a mission in Ohio, witnesses the larger picture of what is truly happening. As the situation grows more dire, Luke accompanies a group of negotiators to the separatist stronghold in St. Louis, but with tensions rising and the threat of a nuclear strike on the rebels’ part growing imminent, will the United States strike back with their own nuclear arsenal?
“Luke Vs. the Nuke: Forsaken Territory” draws inspiration from the author’s experiences in the Marines, as well as his love of science fiction. Expertly paced and full of suspense, Carpenter weaves an intricate plot that is sure to keep readers spellbound, desperate for more with each turn of the page.
Born in Columbus, Ohio, author Frederick Carpenter served in the U.S. Marines for two years during the Vietnam War before graduating from the University of Rhode Island. While in the Marines, he served aboard an American aircraft carrier, the USS John F. Kennedy, and at the Naples, Italy, NSA (naval support activity). After his discharge, Carpenter completed his education and went on to work as a secondary school teacher and an interscholastic league soccer coach. After coaching soccer for twenty years, he was elected to the Rhode Island Soccer Coaches Hall of Fame and retired from education in 2011.

Author James Boudon’s New Book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse,” Introduces Julia Percy, the Leader of Calvary, as She Fights to Escape Her Captors and Save Humanity
Port Allegany, PA, October 30, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– James Boudon, a graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in English, has completed his new book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse”: an enthralling novel that follows Percy as she discovers a nefarious scheme after she and three of her teammates have been abducted by these same rebels while returning from a three-month sabbatical on the distant planet Illyria. Percy herself is subsequently disabled and transformed into a human robot subservient to every whim of her archnemesis, Joshua Winston, who is the leader of the rebels. Meanwhile, the other members of Calvary still on Earth face their own problems as their headquarters is attacked by an advance group of the Gehadeans who seek to sideline the team from averting the impending apocalypse.
Author James Boudon began dabbling at writing short stories in the fourth grade and moved on to creating a comic book called “Rabbitman” during high school and a “Star Trek” novella during college. He has also written numerous poems and song lyrics. He currently works as a rural mail carrier for the US Postal Service and spends his spare time enjoying golf, hiking, and other outdoor activities when he is not writing. He lives in the beautiful hills and countryside of north central Pennsylvania in a rather remote area where the wildlife outnumbers the people.
Boudon writes, “Julia Kristina Percy sighed as a cool breeze from the oscillating floor fan wafted across her scantily clad sculpted physique. Simultaneously upon the memory-sphere player, Impala Quiff, ‘IQ,’ launched into a squealing high-octane guitar solo. Percy moaned contentedly and closed her eyes as the familiar rock ballad evoked a myriad of all-but-forgotten nostalgia. She was reclining on a lounge chair in the living space of her hotel suite. She had just returned from a vigorous workout in the resort’s large pool and was still clad solely in her olive-green bikini. Lead vocalist Nigel Jape resumed crooning the tune’s lyrics in his scintillating and dulcet tones.”
Published by Page Publishing, James Boudon’s memorable tale invites readers to discover whether Percy will be able to return to her home world ahead of the Bellerophon. Otherwise, all life on the planet will be incinerated, and humanity itself will be erased from existence within the universe.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
