About the Author
Hello, my name is Matt Wheeler. I have always been passionate about science fiction and the amazing places it takes us. I came up with this story Portobello long ago while I was driving semi for a living. I had plenty of time to think behind the wheel of a truck. My story takes places after a war on Earth causes our atmosphere to collapse. Luckily one man was prepared for such an event. Edward Gammon of I.S.C. (International Space Control) had already started prepping our moon, Mars, and a new planet called Portobello for humans to live on. However Portobello is the home of an indigenous race called the Plov. Humans must learn to over come many obstacles along the way including how to effectively deal with the Plov. I have very much enjoyed writing this book and have a sequel in the works. I am a self taught author born and raised in a small town in Ohio. I currently live in Michigan with my wife and two pets.
