This one's going to be a movie...

The first book I've read of the Mindwarp series and I'm hooked - couldn't put it down! Although it's told over only 3 days (1 birthday/abduction, 2 waking up in hospital/going home, 3 rendezvous with mothership) it has all the makings of a major thriller movie!! So I thought why not put all the books in the series, write a script merging them all together and shoot a FILM?? Hell why not create a WEBSITE at the same time? I'm open for suggestions and interest, so drop me a line on my email address above!

Shapeshifter: A New Twist

I have to give Chris Archer credit here, he really knows how to throw a curve ball in this game. I totally wasn't expecting to be reading a book with an alien assasin as the narrator. But it was great, although I haven't figured out what the cover picture relates to. Deryk, if you're reading this, you were wrong about Flash Forward being about a boy. Your reasoning was logical, but the way most sci-fi/fantasy authors think isn't. Also, you really shouldn't ruin the book for everyone like that. Takes the fun out of things, you know?

Cool book!

This book was so cool. The main character was... Todd Aldridge! I was so surprised. I just noticed a pattern for the... alien kids. Ethan, Ashley, Jack, Elana, Todd, and Toni. See the pattern? It's boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, and girl. So #7, "Flash Forward" will be a boy alien. But back to this one. Todd was at the reservoir when he disappeared. He saw a bright flash of light and fainted, sort of. He woke up in the "next minute" at a hospital. But it was 9 months later, not the next day. Is Todd's birthday in July? Cause 9 months from April is July, right? I realy wish there was a web site for the series! Will there ever be one? Anyway, Todd goes back to school. Everything's different. He has a family; his parents care about and for him; his friend; Bentley grew 10 inches; Jack was serious; Ethan didn't look like someone you should mess with; and Jack and Ethan hung out with "Splashley Rose." Todd found out he has silver blood. He goes to a hypnotist. He finds himself at the mall in a closet. At home, he finds that he stole the videotape. He watches it and realizes he's the alien assassin and now he has to save his friends by making them not go to the reservoir at midnight. That's the part I'm confused about. Was there ever a real Todd? How'd he become an assassin? Did they take his brains out and drain it into Cynor?(the alien assassin's name) Well, I don't want to spoil the story for you, so it's better to read the book... I can't wait for "Aftershock" though. That's about Toni Douglas. She was mentioned in "Second Sight." I am also waiting for "Flash Forward." It sounds so cool! I wonder who it will be about...
