New Release: New Order of Alexandria – The Western War

Six years after releasing Book One, Author Joseph Roy Wright tells us everything about his new creative endeavour

Hi Joseph, thank you for taking the time to talk to us today. We are very excited about your new book, released six years after the first instalment of your post-apocalyptic thriller Saga ‘The New Order of Alexandria: The Island of Hella’. Can you give us a brief synopsis of the book?

Set in the dark future of 2051, where world wide tsunamis have destroyed the earth, because of global warming. Jack and Derek Carr leave behind their home island of Hella, to travel across the western world onboard the Variant V1 battleship with the New Order of Alexandria army, to support their government win the third world war. They will see the devastating remains of New York City, discover humanity’s darkest secrets and hideous experiments. Virtual Reality training has also been incorporated into the army, this new method has unexpected consequences, that will terrify the recruits with disturbing scenarios created by the mind of a deranged abomination.

Where did you draw inspiration from for this new book?

My post-apocalyptic series was inspired by the likes of The Walking Dead and Mad Max, but it was the video game Fallout (about a post nuclear apocalypse) which really captivated me. The books are also a warning about Global Warming, which results in the book’s in-universe apocalypse of 2047. The military side to this book is inspired by war games such as Call of Duty and Metal Gear Solid (there is a strong virtual reality theme in this book, hence why the cover is green against black pixel art). The story takes place onboard the Variant V1 battleship, which was inspired by my father’s adventures in the British Navy, onboard different ships that not only visited war zones, but also fabulous cities. 

What is the ideal audience for ‘The New Order of Alexandria’?

This Saga is for anyone who is seeking a look into our possible future (if climate change destroys the planet). It is an action adventure series, with a taste of drama, tailored to a mature audience.
