HYBRIDS – ALIEN AWAKENING, Mardukite Anunnaki epic saga by Joshua Free

[nabu]

New for 2011 – HYBRIDS – ALIEN AWAKENING (A Novella by Joshua Free)

The debut volume in the first Mardukite-inspired contemporary sci-fi/fantasy epic of a possible future – a Hybrid future – developed by prolific writer Joshua Free.

In the spirit of Orwell and Vonnegut and controversial epic literary trilogies like Logan’s Run, Hybrids – Alien Awakening introduces a realistic chronicle of the efforts made by a covenant of young evolving alien Hybrids as they fight to understand the changes that are happening to themselves in the face of an ever-changing world.

Set in the year 2019, this provocative and insightful saga provides for the modern Mardukite, Anunnaki and alien hybrid movement what Harry Potter has done for Wicca/Witchcraft and Twilight for the goths, vamps and were sub-cultures!

Hybrids – Alien Awakening, a novella by Joshua Free, is available in paperback from the NecroGate, sponsored by the Mardukite Truth Seeker Press, a publishing division of the Mardukite Chamberlains.

The following is an excerpt Hybrids – Alien Awakening:

Quote:
She was running then; running for her life.
Her destination was unknown, but the direction was sure.
It was the same that the others had gone, been sent or forced:
AWAY!

Out of the heart of the city she fled.
The skyscrapers and traffic sounds slowly being replaced with still rural darkness.
She was tiring, but each threatening shadow stoked the inner fires of adrenaline anew.
There was no stopping; no turning back.
Only the unyielding sense of urgency remained within her.

Beyond the perimeter of the city, she found herself among a tranquil sea of once-houses.
“Suburbia,”they had called it.
A place where the well-to-do were thought to reside not so long ago.
Someone among them might have offered her solace.
Of course, not so long ago, the need for her flight would not have been.
Nor the changes she was enduring.
Now the buildings lay cracked and crumbling, as vacant and forgotten as she would surely become perpetually lost in the desolate wilderness outside the Realm.

As her feet pounded the ground with her crossing, she gained a sense of a second set of footsteps distantly echoing her own – followed by a third and a fourth. . .
MUST GO FASTER!

The illness she endured had been plotting against her actions from the start.
It became abundantly clear to her now that she must make a decision.
She could not keep this pace much longer.
Already she may be too weak to stand for herself if the need arose.

She rounded a corner on what seemed like the millionth abandoned street she had come across since leaving the city.
Her eyes widened as she realized she was leaving the openness of the main roads.
A few darkened homes lined the short distance of the strip of road to a “dead end.”
Beyond the wide fields of undeveloped country lay exposed.
Was she ready for this?

Whether it was intuition or simply the override of personal control caused by fatigue, she darted off the short road to the spindle-fenced porch of the last home on the block.
Crouching down, she focused on steadying her breath while she peered outward.
There was little illumination to aid her efforts, further the difficulty in slowing her heart-rate.
There was no sound to be heard, however, and this provided some comfort.
Perhaps the accompanying footfall in the distance had been her imagination. Paranoia.

Her gaze softened, no longer pierced in anxious terror.
She had almost let them close when five hooded figures stepped out of the gloom not but ten yards from where she hid behind the railings.
They watched her direction ominously, neither speaking or moving.
There was no more hiding or running.
She was spent. She was caught.
Squeezing her eyes tight, she waited patiently for her fate. . .

I've already told you this but, this was a damn good book! Can't wait for the next one!

[nabu]

Glad you've enjoyed it. We're trying to get people to think a little outside the lines on this one - and hence why I didn't just put out another non-fiction book. There's always time for that. Now is the time to play well.

[James Shammash Thomas]

Haha. I can already tell there's going to be a point/lesson/meaning to this series and I'm excited to see where it goes By the way I got my "Guardians book" and "hybrids book". Thank you very much!! I hope my small contribution was revived well to some!

[nabu]

Well - of course there is a "point/lesson/meaning" to the Hybrids serial, lol or we wouldn't do it 'haha' Glad to hear your book requests arrived duly. You are, of course, welcome. And there really are no "small contributions" - there are supporters and there are nay-sayers, lol. Your ongoing alumnic enthusiasm will never be under-appreciated as 'small' or forgotten.

So I remember hearing/reading a while back that there might be a short film made from the Hybrids' series, I was wondering what, if anything, is going on with that and how I can be involved.

[nabu]

Nope, not a short film, a full "sundance festival" styled indie movie. However, as with many movies, this is slow to formulate. With the Hybrids saga not even fully written yet, even those at the Home Office aren't sure what to expect on this venture. No doubt I will be involved in writing the screenplay and I also have a character in this story as does my producer/director Agent M. Concerning the rest, we really have no details and probably wont until we can contact people in our fray for their interests.

[James Shammash Thomas]

A movie done of this in the indie style would be awesome!

[nabu]

Anything's possible. We're working on getting the complete trilogy done - now two down on that - and then coming up with some ideas on how this might be conducted, hopefully later this year and ironically the story takes place in Autumn anyways.
