Aug. 4th, 2020 03:37 pm~Now that The Sisterhood has been placed on the back burner by La Rona, I have needed something else to preserve what little sanity I still manage cling to. That has emerged in the form a science fiction novel titled "The Refugees". Here's a draft 'book jacket blurb':
It is 1978 and a small group of alien refugees flee from an ever expanding galactic war between a ruthless alliance of several spacefaring races and an ancient relentless enemy. They arrive on earth very publicly and offer us advanced technology in exchange for our assistance in fighting both The Great Alliance and The Enemy.
The genre breakdown is Alternative History/Space Opera/Military Sci-Fi/Alien Space Bats/America Uber Alles, the latter in that the aliens pick the United States to be their primary human allies for all the obvious military, economic and technological reasons. [It IS 1978 after all...and the president is a nuclear scientist]
As prosaic as that sounds, those who have read my other sci-fi know that I'm definitely going to go to some deep and freaky places with this thing. I will not be posting any previews unfortunately, so y'all will just have to wait for the first volume [it's a trilogy], however many years that takes.
