THE SIMULATOR (A dystopian world hidden behind the UFO/alien abduction phenomenon)

[Marcus]

I’m pleased to announce the release of my latest novel, The Simulator, which takes place in a dystopian world.


The Simulator

The Simulator is a unique SFR, which uses science fiction as part of the romance plot, as opposed to a backdrop for romance.

The back cover description is:

An abducted savant unravels the UFO/alien abduction phenomenon.

Lewis is a math savant who sees the world entirely in equations and mathematics, which gives him a unique advantage at his job of designing simulators. But his gift of mathematics comes with a price; he completely lacks emotions, feelings, social skills, and even the ability to interpret facial expressions. A stranger to matters of the heart, he lives a cold and lonely existence of numbers, equations, and isolation.

In the wake of several alien abductions, Lewis is left with an unexplained connection to a woman he has neither met nor seen; he only remembers vague images and impressions of her trapped in a dystopian world of rust and steel. Among his impressions is the sense that he is able to read her facial expressions and even sense her feelings. It is a fleeting glimpse of what it might be like to be normal—to be a complete human being.

Then a fluke incident gives Lewis a rare opportunity to search for the woman trapped in the decaying alien ruins of rust and steel. He desires nothing more than to simply meet her and experience the basic social interactions that most people take for granted. It is a simple quest, which places him in direct conflict with an obscure alien agenda. Survival alone becomes an arduous task, but the real prize—a normal life together—would exact a price that neither is willing to pay.

The Simulator is available at Amazon (kindle) and B&N (nook), and will be available in print before January first.
