And Now for Some Twilight Zone Stuff

Given the (hopefully) Imminent release of my Overlords of Mars Trilogy in one volume NAZI MOON, and considering the topics I discuss in that fiction work, the video below is certainly interesting if you pay attention to some of the dates he mentions and the technology he describes.

Not that I am necessarily agreeing with things he says, but it’s an interesting video anyway.

    Release on 12.12.23 or earlier?

    Just a quick poll, since I discovered that releasing NAZI MOON on the 12.12.23 will not in fact let anyone pre-order it, as it is a physical book only, no ebook available for the near future.

    So do you prefer:

    Do you want NAZI MOON to be available on Amazon earlier than 12.12.23

      Coming Soon… Nazis

      Since my Overlords of Mars series was abruptly interrupted after book 2 some 10 years ago, I finally have got down to finishing book 3 (it’s basically done, I just need a few days or a week or so to edit it and clean up a few things, I thought it might be fun to put up on the blog a few of the more autistic parts of the universe I created with that series.

      So, over the next few days you should see aa dedicated link appear on the left sidebar, that will lead to more information that you probably want to know about the military structures on Mars, Luna and the insignia they wear and the size of the spaceships and on and on and on, as time permits.

      Some of you know that Umberto Eco walked a certain measured distance for his Name of the Rose, to see whether a dialogue he had in it would fit in the time it took to walk it. And some people are impressed by this.

      Personally I find it absolutely normal. And I guarantee you that however much stuff I manage to throw up on my dedicated and nested linked pages in due course, it will always be just a fraction of the notes and plot-lines, and people and things I have kept track of.

      So… the science fiction autists among you may yet rejoice soon. And the book will be out before Christmas too (unless I get abducted by Aliens).

      It will come out first in a huge Omnibus edition that contains all three books. The third book as a separate work will be out later and I am not sure if that will make it before the Christams deadline.

      Anyway… if you are into science fiction, esoteric technology (that exists), very effective martial arts (that exist) intrigue, Nazi conspiracies, and shady aliens, as well as the general impression that we live on a kind of prison planet, yet, are looking for hopeful and old-style storylines that inspire, amaze, surprise and get you emotionally involved, well… I have really only had good reviews so far, so you may want to think about saving up for the big one. The first book in the series is $2.99 for kindle, just so you get almost 200 pages to judge wether you want to read the next instalments or not.

      The second book is a lot more cinematic that the first, and the third one is a bit of a mix between the first and second book, as some concepts and plot lines needed advancing, but there remains a lot of action too.

        Overlords of Mars 3 – in the works

        Given my recent weeks of not being able to do much physical work and even more recent new lung-thing/infection, whatever, I have been working at trying to finish the third book in the Overlords of Mars trilogy.

        Which, I am trying to fit into an omnibus edition too, with all three books in one volume, which may however prove impossible as the largest number of pages for that is just over 800 and I am approaching 700 very fast. Then again, the series is really a Quadrilogy, even if the third book does get things sort of to a certain “point”. But… if I can get the fourth book out too, a two-volume omnibus may be it.

        At any rate, having to re-read most of the first two books and consult my autistic level notes on the matter, is making me aware that really, I did a pretty good job with this series. One passage, spoken by one of the Russian admirals in book 2, made me quite aware of the rather startling predictive power of my imagination when I let it run loose with few filters.

        “They will use American culture” said Zukhov. He pronounced culture in the same way he had said Lord before. “You know what I mean? Bang, bang television,” he made pistols with his hands, “lots of pornography on the internet to keep those who don’t work busy wanking, mobile phones, low-frequency vibration mind-reprogramming over large areas, disease, war, and they will use their all-important god, the dollar, the money, to drive it all. Force people into mental and physical corners until they are beaten into doing what they want of them. Stupid slaves who think they are free.”

        Consider the book was published in 2013, however, the ideas for it, including this specific plot-point, which is one of the main threads of the entire series, was originally conceived in the late 1990s. As I may have mentioned elsewhere, in fact, each of the three books originates from a dream I had way back in the early to mid 1990s.

        The first book was inspired by a dream I had of some space humans coming to Earth and my initial sensation at meeting the eyes of a very beautiful and blue-eyed woman among them, and feeling sort of like a monkey compared to them, and instead, this beautiful woman telepathically letting me know that no, we could be just as advanced and kind as them. The eyes on the cover of that first book, Inception, are very much like the ones I had dreamt of. And I used them long before I eventually married their owner. The book also has an alternative and more controversial cover here. Although, Amazon redirects me to the Italian site which changes things, so I am not sure which cover you get to see.

        The second book, Stasis, also was the result of a dream, that for all intents and purposes could be thought of as a scene with Giona and Lydia close to one of the Martian ruins.

        The third book was inspired by a scene that I am not sure if I will be able to incorporate in the third book, but if I can, I will. If you read of a character called Atalla, and a game… then you’ll know I put in there.

        Anyway, don’t get too excited, but after a 10 year hiatus, (which I think has given me the time required to make this a better story than it would have been, with a lot more “controversial” but more true to life reality, I am hoping to have this third book done by Christmas.

        If my future-guessing on this one is anything close to the one I had in the early 90s, concerning our present day, some 30 years later, we’re all in for a wild ride. More fun if you’re off planet than on it though. As usual!
