Tribal Forester, Earl Armstrong, inadvertently learns about the mysterious and tragic history of an obscure island where his great-grandfather was the first lighthouse keeper in Fredrick Cooper’s thrilling new novel, Destruction Island. The author has released a sequel to his award-winning and debut novel, Riders of the Tides, that once again delivers fast-paced action, interesting characters, sharp dialogue, and vivid settings on the extraordinarily beautiful Washington coast. Earl has haunting, and all too real dreams, of his great-grandfather’s spirit asking him for help. His attempts to ignore these ghostly pleas are shattered after he discovers the murdered body of a Native American man and then an attempt on his own life and his wife’s. Realizing he cannot neglect the island’s troubling past and the possibility that it is connected with his own predicament, Earl enlists the help of the victim’s brother and an old Indian shaman to uncover his ancestor’s long kept secret. In doing so, he must outwit a vicious treasure hunter and his men who are seeking a rare and priceless Native American artifact, as well as a desperate woman who is attempting to escape death at the hands of the Japanese mafia by recovering of a small fortune adrift off the island’s coast. What she is searching for is part of a huge mass of tsunami debris that is threatening to result in an environmental disaster on the coast of Washington State and the Isle of Sorrow—Destruction Island.

Earl Armstrong is not a superhero, just an ordinary guy, who works as a forester for a Pacific Northwest Indian tribe. Only Earl has a knack for finding trouble and dead bodies. When Earl learns that one of his shipments of lumber to Japan is missing and part of it was used by a Native American woodcarver in an Alaskan village, he is drawn to a superstitious community and becomes entangled in a web of intrigue involving a soon to open, Alaskan theme park. The park is Glacier World, where tourists can experience all that Alaska and the Arctic have to offer in one location -- a real life, Jurassic World filled with Alaskan predators. When Earl Armstrong and his friends discover that Glacier World may be connected with things other than entertaining tourists and could be responsible for several suspicious deaths, they decide to obtain proof. Getting into the park should be easy, but to get out they must evade more than one Glacier World killer, one desperate and some just hungry.Fredrick Cooper is an award winning author of thriller and suspense novels.

Earl Armstrong, a young tribal forester, lives a quiet life along the Washington Coast managing timber sales and minding his own business. When a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway leads him to Unck, a local Indian storyteller who leaves him a suitcase of old treasures--a beaded tobacco pouch, a whalebone-handled knife, a piece of an old totem--Earl's life is forever changed. First, a tingling in the fingers. Next, restless sleep. Someone is there. As pieces of the past slip through Earl's dreams, the true nature of the treasures is revealed, guiding Earl to clues surrounding a murder that has plagued his family for generations. But in learning about the death of Ben Armstrong, a pioneer, adventurer, and successful lumberman, Earl's own life is at risk as he is stalked by a person linked to his dead ancestor, bringing the past and present together in a horrifying twist of dreams and reality. Riders of the Tides was awarded the IPPY Bronze Medal for Pacific Northwest Region Best Fiction in 2013 and recently was announced as a 2014 Beverly Hills Book Awards Finalist for New Fiction.
