The Protean Explosion Cover Peek!

The next book in The Last Witness series comes out next month and I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at the cover art!

The ultimate boogeyman to the scientific community has always been the killer asteroid scenario. Imagine NASA's shock as they discover that a hundred asteroids are headed straight toward Earth!

Shiloh finds himself too busy trying to save his adopted world to notice that something far more deadly than chunks of rock are coming. Someone with a hunger for power is taking advantage of the supernatural wake Shiloh's arrival on Earth is causing to trigger a supernatural weapon so powerful that it will unleash the most destructive force ever to walk either world.

Behold the coming of the Tri-Fest: Man-Machine-Demon: USCHI!

The Protean Explosion: UPDATE

The Protean Explosion is finally wiggling its way through the process and will be released next month. Keep an eye out here, I think tomorrow will have a sneak peek at the new cover art!

Teaser Scene from The Protean Explosion

They say that in space no one can hear you scream. Scientists would explain that lack of mass prevents the conduction of sound waves. They would use charts generated by complex mathematical formulas and three-dimensional software to demonstrate that if enough mass was gathered at one place in space, accompanying gas particles would be drawn together, and if enough gas was present, it would form an atmosphere.

And in such an atmosphere, you would be heard.

They could calmly and rationally explain the physics, because they didn't know that such a mass existed and that it was on a collision course with Earth. They were busy giving and accepting awards from each other as if Santa Claus had just discovered the existence of laboratories.

If they had bothered watching more than two percent of the sky, perhaps one of them would notice a tiny blur in one of their multi-million dollar telescopes. A week or two later, if he were curious enough to do further research, he would see that the dark mass now blotted out over a dozen stars in the northern sky.

Then other scientists might set down their cocktail glasses and return their rented tuxes long enough to determine that something was coming that no one, regardless of how many awards decorated their chiseled stone mantles, would be able to save the Earth from.

The killer asteroid scenario had always been the ultimate bogeyman of the scientific community, but it was dealt with as it existed; on paper. And in a thousand paper scenarios that read like cheap pulp novels, the scientists always emerged as the hero; the ultimate saviors of the planet, their superior intellects the match of any threat the cosmos had to offer.

The scenarios had two weaknesses; the most notable being that none of the plans were ever implemented, only theorized. But the more dangerous flaw was that the planet killer scenario only ever dealt with one killer asteroid. So it would be natural for the scientist that first found the mass coming toward Earth - for the last naive moment of his life - to think of the new awards that this discovery would give him, until he identified it.

Rather, identified them.

What at first appeared to be a single unified body was, in fact, a cluster of over a hundred meteors and asteroids, close enough to each other to share a thin atmosphere.

The scientist would lock himself in his laboratory and produce charts. He would take the time to calculate the damage of such an impact with three-dimensional software and complex mathematical formulas and each time, he would come to the same conclusion: The mob of stellar bodies was on a collision course with Earth, destroying everything in its path and the simultaneous puncturing of the Earth's atmosphere would result in an event unsurvivable by any scenario, outside even the protection of The Scientific Community. The force of the simultaneous strikes would be enough to destroy the Earth and knock it out of orbit.

And with that realization, since that scientist was in an atmosphere, you would be able to hear his scream.

The Protean Explosion - FINI !

Wow. I just finished writing the third book in The Last Witness series, The Protean Explosion. There's something weird about finishing a book. One moment, I'm writing the last few sentences, then...it's done.

I can't explain it, but I remember this same feeling after finishing the first two books. I guess I just forgot what it felt like. Even though I will go back over it in a couple of days to look it over one last time before sending it to my editor, I look at it totally different than I did just a few minutes ago.

I'm going to take a quick look to see what I've got written on the fourth book in the series, Gods of War, to make sure I ended this one in a way they line up. But man, I'm celebrating!

Update

I've decided to make my two Blogger accounts separate, so when reading about The Last Witness you don't have to read about politics and vice versa.

As it is now, I am putting the final touches on The Protean Explosion and will send the completed first draft off to my editor December 1. That is actually a couple of days after I'll be finished but it will give me time to go over it once more before I submit it.

Resurrected Destiny just hit Amazon.com! I know, now I am one of a bajillion people who are on Amazon but that's still cause for celebration!
