Disclosure Day

Truly one of the best movie teasers I have seen to date is Disclosure Day. The trailer features a chilling sequence with Emily Blunt as a weatherwoman who appears to be “possessed” or “hijacked” by an extraterrestrial force while live on the air. Instead of words, she emits a series of rhythmic, mechanical clicking sounds—a haunting “mysterious language” that suggests these aliens might communicate through us rather than just appearing in ships, solving one of Sci-Fi’s greatest challenges–– space travel, even at the speed of light is slow.

Unlike Spielberg’s previous alien films (Close Encounters), as well as other great Sci-Fi movies (Alien), which usually focus on a small group of people or a single family, the teaser suggests a simultaneous global event. The tagline, “This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people,” hints at a narrative where the entire world learns of extraterrestrial life at the exact same moment.

Now, I would have probably combined two aspects of Sci-Fi: something real and something imagined, using The “God of Chaos” Asteroid: 99942 Apophis, due to arrive on Friday the 13th in April of 2029, a mere 20,000 miles above the Earth. Steve, I’m available for your next film.. I have plenty more where this came from.

This is one I will not miss in the theaters…. as good as my home theater system is.

The release of From Europa With Love

I am pleased to announce the release of my new novelette:  From Europa With Love – Kindle version available for download on OffWordlers.com (Free) and Amazon (.99 cents)

Shuttle Captain Kulcin Black follows a distress signal back to Europa but there is no one there to pick up. On return, he discovers he is not alone.

When events in space go from bad ot worse. This is not a love story.
