David Robbins, real name David L. Robbins(not the actual author who goes by that name), is an American writer with Pennsylvania Dutch and British ancestry. He writes both fiction and nonfiction that includes adventure, mystery, young adult, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and western novels. David is one of the most prolific writers of his generation having written over three hundred titles under his own name, and many under pen names including John Killdeer, J.D. Cameron, Dean L. McElwain, Ralph Compton, Franklin W. Dixon, Don Pendleton, Jon SharpeJake McMasters, and David Thompson. Some of the book series he has written include The Hardy Boys Casefiles, Omega Sub, Davy Crockett, White Apache, Wilderness, Blade, Endworld, Mack Bolan, and The Trailsman. Robbins is an active member of the Western Writers of America, the Horror Writers Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. He is not to be confused with the Virginia Writer David L Robbins, who shares the name but is best known for writing historical fiction.

Robbins was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He was only eight years old when his father was shot and killed. He would spend the rest of his childhood in Pennsylvania Dutch country, where his Old Mennonite great-uncle and aunt who took him in had a farm. Living on a rural farm, the family had no indoor plumbing and an outdoor pump was all they depended on for water. His uncle had quite a sizable farm with chickens, hogs, horses, and forty cows. Robbins would become responsible for much of the harvesting planting and plowing, after a rogue owl got into the milk house and nearly blinded his uncle. His life in the rural areas made him an avid fisher, hunter, and backwoodsman, which would later serve him well when he got into wilderness survival education, and search and rescue endeavors. When he turned seventeen, he joined the United States Air force, where he rose through the ranks to become sergeant. After he was honorably discharged from the Air Force, he enrolled in college to study broadcasting. He would graduate and go on to work in broadcasting as a program director, engineer, and announcer at several radio stations. He worked for a little while in law enforcement before he quit to focus on a professional writing career. Robbins is quite the nomad having lived in the Pacific Northwest, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Pennsylvania. His travels have not only been confined to the US as he spent a year and a half backpacking through Germany, Greece, and Italy. He also lived in Turkey for more than a year.

Some of the novels he has published under his various pseudonyms include Hit Radio, The End of the World and Everything: Battle field Mars, A Girl, and the Angel U series. Endworld is the best-known and most popular work that he has written under his own name. The first of the Endworld series of novels was the 1986 published title “Fox Run”. These are science fiction novels set in a post apocalyptic world. With over forty books in the series published, the popularity of the series does not seem like waning any time soon. The similarly popular Blade series of novels is a spinoff from the Endworld series. He also published several horror titles under his own name such as The Return of the Virginian, Prank Night, and The Wireling. Writing as David Thompson, he has been churning out book after book in the Wilderness series, which has been published for over two decades. These novels are a multi generational saga following a Mountain Man that lived with his family in the 1800s rugged setting of the Rockies. The series has over 60 titles with about four novels being released every year since 1990. The Trailsman novels that have over a hundred titles, the Mack Bolan, and The Executioner series were written under the pseudonym Jon Sharpe. Even as he got into professional writing relatively late, he has been churning out new titles at an average of ten a year. Given their widespread popularity, the novels have been published in nine languages.

“The Fox Run”, the first novel in the Endworld series of novels follows the life and times of three warriors in an apocalyptic setting. The trio has survived an apocalypse after sheltering in a survivalist compound. They are now exploring their new world and manage to find some useful things. For the most part, much of what they find is despotic maniacs ruling tiny fiefdoms, mutant creatures, and renegade bands of scavengers that would rob and kill for anything valuable. The warriors are led by Blade who is a combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Andre the Giant, Captain America, and John Wayne. Tough and strong he can take on a band of scavengers or dispatch a mutant wolverine single-handed with nothing more than his Bowies. Hickock is a lethal sharpshooter who could easily take on a band of 30 scavengers with automatic rifles and beat them without sustaining a scratch. Geronimo, who refers to himself as one of the last true Native Americans is a woodsman and scout with the ability to reverse engineer the enemy’s memory while in a blindfold.

“Twin Cities Run” is the excellent third novel of the Endworld series of novels by David Robbins. Kurt Carpenter is the chief protagonist that founded a survivalist retreat in Minnesota in anticipation of the fallout from World War III. Gathering a band of followers he referred to as the family, he leaves them instructions on how to restore the world after the war. A century after the war, the family is forced to venture out of their sanctuary into the wastelands in the surrounding area. Members of the family are afflicted with premature senility whose cure they believes is outside their walls. The heroes in the series are Blade the leader whose signature weapons are a bunch of knives, Geronimo, the Native American tracker and hunter, Joshua the group’s high priest, and Hitchcock who loves the Old West hence his twin six guns. Bertha an African American woman and a refugee who joined the group from Twin Cities is also a ranking member in the troop. Driving in the armored vehicle nicknamed the SEAL, they are traveling to the Twin Cities which are rumored to have the medical supplies they seek. But they are soon caught in the crossfire of a territorial war between four local gangs: the nomads, the Wacks, the Horns, and the Porns.
