Bank Square Books hosts author Eric Walters

January 28, 2015 11:00 pm • Last Updated: January 28, 2015 12:06 pm

It sounds sorta cruel to respond to news that YA author Eric Walters has a new book out by saying, "Well, that's not really a big deal."

The thing is, Walters has written over 90 books, so just in terms of the context of his productivity, by definition it's NOT a big deal.

On the other hand, Walters is hugely successful and popular, and his signing appearance Wednesday in Bank Square Books should draw a lot fans. Walters is on the road in support of his critically-acclaimed "The Rule of Three," a dystopian story wherein a computer virus destroys technology and plunges civilization into a modern dark age. Teen protagonist Adam, with the help of his retired neighbor, Herb, fortifies and organizes the neighborhood against increasingly bold raiders.
