Matthew Huddleston
|
Dr. Matthew Huddleston spent most of his childhood in a small jungle village in the Democratic Republic of Congo (what was then called Zaire) while his father worked as a linguist to develop a writing system for the language of the Bali people. Returning to the US, he received a Masters in space physics and astronomy from Rice University before moving to Nashville to finish up his Ph.D. in physics at Vanderbilt.
Dr. Huddleston now enjoys occasional research projects in magnetospheric space physics, but he is primarily a teacher and communicator at heart. He continues to instruct and mentor undergraduates at Trevecca University in Nashville, TN, where he has taught for the past sixteen years. The topics of his classroom lectures often become inspirations for stories, and he believes that the science of the real world contains more wonder and mystery than anything he could invent as an author. In addition to writing and teaching, he is also a hopeless wanderer, having traveled to over forty different countries.

Science Fiction (New Adult)
Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, Final Eclipse, by space physicist Matthew Huddleston, is an apocalyptic science fiction thriller that delivers adventure and intrigue combined with science realism. FROM THE BACK COVER How do you conquer a planet? Take away the sun. (It's easier than you think...) NASA research satellites suddenly go silent as a mysterious dark "spot" appears in front of the sun. A young Kevin Mycroft discovers that the spot is steadily growing in size, threatening to throw the entire earth into permanent darkness. When senior NASA scientists, including Kevin's father, begin intentionally hiding the truth, Kevin convinces his friends to take action on their own. But is there anything they can do to fight the grim fate that awaits the planet? The origin of the eclipse soon reveals that cold and darkness are not the only enemies lurking in the shadows. And as each fight for survival seems to backfire, Kevin's hopes fade while he questions whether he, or anyone else, can be the hero that the world so desperately needs.
