Astrid Book 4: The Legacy tells the story of the war between Arralan and Corella and Astrid’s role in it, but as seen through the eyes of the embittered daughter of a soldier Astrid had killed.

Astrid becomes a diplomat after the war and works tirelessly to help rebuild the former enemy country. She is determined to improve the lives of the Corellan people now that the years of Hallenberg’s dictatorship are over. But the girl doesn’t see it that way. She believes all the old propaganda and the lies that say the Arralans started the war. Smouldering inside her is a brooding hatred for all Arralans.

Years pass, and her resentment simmers below the surface, just waiting for a vent. It erupts after she meets an old Corellan soldier who tells her how the war ended—his version of how the war ended. Then through her work the girl, now a fully grown woman, discovers everything Astrid had done, including the way Astrid had killed her father. Enraged, she becomes determined to undo everything Astrid has achieved and return Corella to what she believes is its former glory.

T G Trouper lives with his wife in Essex, England; they have one son who lives in America. T G spent years working in the live music industry, organising equipment for some of the biggest names in rock and pop. Only when he retired early to look after aging parents did he find the time to start writing, something that he had wanted to do for years. He still works part-time in the music business; as he says, no one ever actually retires from it. After years of playing in various pub and club bands, he now occasionally plays guitar and sings in a duo.

T G is passionately against the use of generative AI in writing. He believes that the reading public wants something written from the human heart and not something created in a microsecond by a machine. He encourages all readers to ask if a book has any AI-generated content, and, if it has, to refuse to buy it.

AI has its place. In science, medicine, industry etc., it will become invaluable, just not in the creative arts. However, all search engines now use AI, so the use of AI while researching subjects for novels is unavoidable.
