New Book – Grave Digger

Halloween will soon be upon us. There will soon be carved pumpkins in the window and trick or treaters on the doorstep.

And we are getting into the spooky spirit with the launch of a brand-new, Halloween-themed e-book from DemolitionNews editor and founder, Mark Anthony.

The new book is called Grave Digger, and it features a futuristic excavator gone rogue:

“It is the future of heavy machinery; a fully-electric, AI-powered excavator that boasts unparalleled precision and efficiency while working in perfect harmony with its operator. But be warned: the machine is fiercely protective. Don’t underestimate the power of The Grave Digger.”

The e-book will be available ONLY until Halloween 2024.

In addition, anyone ordering a copy of the book between now and 28 October 2024 will receive a second and final copy with their name among the book’s dedications.

So, if you like the idea of a spooky excavator tale or if you’d just like to see your name in print, CLICK HERE to buy your copy of Grave Digger.
