PULSAR
PULSAR unveils the truth behind the technological advancements of the 20th century.
Director of Space Relations and Counterintelligence for the CIA Adam Hunter receives a mysterious crate at his Washington, D.C. office one night. While doubting the origin of its contents, the promise it holds for Earth renders him unable to refuse its calling.
At the behest of his college roommate, Greg Buchanan, Adam follows the trail that the intelligence within the crate reveals, seeking funding for a speculative project from an enigmatic billionaire who knows more than Adam suspects.
The realization of transportation with no carbon footprint, once deemed impossible outside science fiction, becomes an all-consuming passion for Adam and his team. At long last, a virtual global highway transportation system will connect humankind because of Adam’s relentless pursuit of his dream.
Adam finds his vision comes at a price when the architects of the virtual highway ask him for something momentous in return for their help in creating this advancement. The cost of the highway could mean the end of Earth as we know it.
PULSAR introduces readers to the next stage of Earth’s journey into the New Space Age, where Earth discovers its new purpose in a universe with limitless potential, both for destruction and creation.
Short Stories
BLUE STONE
In the first of PULSAR’s prequel series, the crew of the Mesolite makes first contact traveling across the universe on a desperate mission to save their home planet.
In the time of Earth, it is 3,000 BC, when the aliens arrive and they quickly realize they've discovered a civilization in its infancy. With little technological awareness, humans have no way to help the aliens reconnect the tether they severed when they folded space to reach our solar system.
Unable to return home, the aliens, who were planning to inveigle Earth into becoming a suitable donor, launch their one-way mission plans. While trying their best not to interfere with the development of human civilization, they grow impatient and help humans accelerate the planet’s advancement, leading to a simple act of carelessness that forces them into an unfathomable dilemma. Knowing now how far they need for Earth to progress before time runs out on their planet, they must decide if they should destroy human lives and much of what they created to keep hope alive.
In their final act, the Blue Stone is left as a marker—as a beacon—and becomes the first symbol that Earth is on a collision course with its destiny.
ORANGE STONE
The second of PULSAR’s prequel series, Orange Stone begins three hundred and fifty years after the first palvei of aliens from somewhere in the Virgo Cluster lands on Earth. Still searching for a way to complete the harvest, the Allusion appeared high in Earth’s atmosphere, ready to engage.
With no contact from the earlier Mesolite, their successors knew the operation had failed. They would discover, once again, Earth was a technological infant, lacking the advancement to be of any assistance to their ambition. A helpless feeling swallowed the Earth visitors as they realized, like the crew of the Mesolite, they would never go home.
The crew, or pavlei, find evidence of vitrification and an all too familiar heat signature revealing the Earth had been scorched, and realize something had gone terribly wrong. Questions arose about why the inhabitants of this world had been attacked before the harvest could take place.
With one-way mission orders going into effect and the clock still ticking on their home planet, the towering, silvery occupants of the powerful craft decide to resume the clandestine operation and continue readying the blue planet for her eventual invasion. Having traveled 65 million light years, the aliens do their best to advance humanity. To complete their altered mission, the visitors, guided by the Orange Stone, will conceal it to mark the precise location where one of the four incisions into Earth's core will occur. They wonder if what they've done is enough and if any from their world will ever follow.
VIOLET STONE
The third in PULSAR’s prequel series. Two thousand years have passed since the Allusion visited the Earth. War in the Virgo Cluster threatened to eliminate everything that was good and pure in the galaxy. Even Earth would have been consumed had a certain form of good not prevailed over evil. The distraction of war did not replace the need for what humans possessed.
Surviving the onslaught, a third ship, the Iolite, finally enters the solar system of the only known paradise planet that could save their world. Two thousand years was all that remained. If the Iolite's pavlei could not successfully prepare Earth in that time, their constellation would become a black hole. The crew was down to a speck of time against the backdrop of the universe.
Before reaching Earth, five visitors aboard the Iolite have a mind altering experience while making the precarious journey across the universe. After surviving the devastating effects of a dimensional shift during their fold, the aliens lose contact with reality and temporarily become confused about who they are and why they've come. Relying on artificial intelligence to remind them, their long range scans of Earth find evidence of two stranded spacecraft from their own world, the Mesolite and the Allusion. Hallucinations, coupled with learning that they will never again go home, spawns apathy for the operation. As they discover more about their mission and the dire circumstances facing their own planet, a fractured pavlei set out to find a secure place for the Violet Stone. Despite feeling lost to start their own journey, as fate would have it, the Iolite's alien pavlei will eventually deliver a gift to humans that will provide them with part of the equation belonging to the universe. Humanity, newly armed with a tool to find its own way, will spark hope that Earth can progress far enough in the time that remains. Hope is all that is left.
GREEN STONE
The fourth in PULSAR’s prequel series. After three spacecraft from the Virgo Cluster’s unsuccessful attempts to triangulate with Jupiter over the last millennium, the Obsidian was the last hope for their world. Successfully maintaining the integrity of the fragile container of light by which she traveled, the craft arrived in Jupiter’s orbit in the Earth year of 1942.
On board were eight gray visitors, each selected for having specialized skills for this kind of invasion. If not successful, this would be the final mission and all life would end on the planet located somewhere in the Virgo Cluster. For several thousand years, numerous expeditions had been launched into the vastness of space trying to reach Earth, their prize. Of the many, only four, including the Obsidian, had managed to survive in the folds of space. The rest disappeared into its darkness.
As the Obsidian nears Earth, the ship’s conscious AI begins displaying all manner of sounds and images emanating from the blue planet. Not only were the homing beacons of the Mesolite, the Allusion, and the Vasuvious detected, but a variety of other transmissions were all simultaneously streaming into the Obsidian. Gamma, infrared, ultraviolet, and radio waves inundated the ship’s reconnaissance systems. Earth had made huge advances in technology, the machines of its people were all very busy. There was hope there would be enough time to save their distant planet.
The on-board logistical ubiquitous companion, LUC, was discovering the prior alien visitations had not been in vain. Not only had they assisted human civilization with technological advancement leading into its twenty-first century breakthroughs, it had also laid the groundwork for what was soon to become of Earth. There was just enough time, there was still hope, and they had a plan. The finer details of that plan came on the journey from Jupiter to Earth. There would be no cryo-sleep for the voyagers of the Obsidian. They would land in Roswell. Roswell is where it would be revealed, and Roswell is where it would end.
